Visioning 2035: The future of the higher education sector in the UK
(2010)
The concept of ‘university’ has been around for centuries and yet the majority of British Universities have yet to reach their 50th birthday. The higher education sector has been through extensive change over a relatively ...
Building the Future Students’ Blended Learning Experiences from Current Research Findings
(2010)
Between March 2007 and February 2009, the Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC) funded a Learners’ Journeys project at the University of Hertfordshire. This was part of their second phase of investment in research ...
Formation of slowly rotating early-type galaxies via major mergers: a resolution study
(2010)
We study resolution effects in numerical simulations of gas-rich and gas-poor major mergers, and show that the formation of slowly rotating elliptical galaxies often requires a resolution that is beyond the present-day ...
The 6-GHz methanol multibeam maser catalogue – II. Galactic longitudes 6° to 20°
(2010)
We present the second portion of an unbiased survey of the Galactic plane for 6668-MHz methanol masers. This section of the survey spans the longitude range 6° to 20°. We report the detection of 119 maser sources, of which ...
Tactile interaction with a humanoid robot for children with autism: a case study analysis involving user requirements and results of an initial implementation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
The work presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The project aims to develop and demonstrate a range of new robot capabilities based on the tactile feedback provided by a robotic skin. ...
Activism and willingness to help in union organizing : who are the activists?
(2010)
Research on union renewal often cites a critical role for lay activism. This study examines determinants of activism and activism intentions among a broadly representative sample of U.S. union members. Hypotheses are ...
Every fraction of a Micro-Sievert counts in PET/CT
(2010)
Radiation dose exposure is extremely important to the mobile PET/CT Health Care Worker. Staff could get larger monthly doses than their contemporaries working in static sites. This is generally down to wall shielding and ...
A comparison of methods to determine neuronal phase-response curves
(2010)
The phase-response curve (PRC) is an important tool to determine the excitability type of single neurons which reveals consequences for their synchronizing properties. We review five methods to compute the PRC from both ...
Relevant information as a formalised approach to evaluate game mechanics
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
We present a new approach to use adaptive AI in the game design process to aid evaluating of game mechanics. During production, this is a crucial task to improve the player satisfaction with a game title. The problem with ...
Ellipsoidal variability and the difference between sequence D and E red giants
(2010)
We have studied a sample of Large Magellanic Cloud red giant binaries that lie on sequence E in the period–luminosity plane. We show that their combined light and velocity curves unambiguously demonstrate that they are ...
