Bringing the imaginary back into play
(2011-11)The term ‘ludic’ can be linked to many aspects of play and games, but what does it mean to be playful? Using examples of various augmented reality game, this paper will examine the role of mimicry in play as a way of ... -
Focus on exposure to air pollution and related health impacts
(2011-12-01)Outdoor and indoor air pollution was recently identified as a key contributor to the environmental burden of disease in European countries (EBoDE Working Group 2011). Due to the time-activity profiles of contemporary ... -
Model fitting for multiple variables by minimising the geometric mean deviation
(Springer Nature Link, 2002)We consider the problem of fitting a linear model for a number of variables but without treating any one of these variables as special, in contrast to regression where one variable is singled out as being a dependent ... -
Integrated queries over a heterogeneously distributed scientific database using OGSA-DQP
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)In this paper we experiment with using the UNION ALL operator to make data integration queries over a version of the SDSS scientific Database, distributed using OGSA-DQP. The paper starts with background information on the ... -
Load reconstruction on a missile structure using the Pseudo-Inverse methods
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-01-01)A missile during air carriage is subjected to high vibratory forces. These forces consequently impose high levels of stress on the attachment points to the aircraft A repetitive application of stress causes fatigue. However, ... -
The self in the Cartesian brain
(2011)The following considers the role of our increased understanding of the neurobiological function of the brain in relation to classical Cartesian representations versus embodied self theories. The movement toward a multifaceted, ... -
Systematic assessment and validation of compliance-based crack closure measurements in fatigue
(2000-01-01)Different methods of closure measurement and issues related to the identification of closure points are examined. Based on compliance curves obtained from crack mouth clip gauges and near-tip strain gauges, a systematic ... -

The primacy model: A new model of immediate serial recall
(1998-10)A new model of immediate serial recall is presented: the primacy model. The primacy model stores order information by means of the assumption that the strength of activation of successive list items decreases across list ... -
On solving the inverse scattering problem with RBF neural networks : Noise-free case
(1999)Neural networks are successfully used to determine small particle properties from knowledge of the scattered light - an inverse light scattering problem. This type of problem is inherently difficult to solve as it is ... -
Patients' perspectives on services for epilepsy: a survey of patient satisfaction, preferences and information provision in 2394 people with epilepsy
(2000)The objectives of this study were to provide a comprehensive survey of satisfaction with care, care preferences and information provision for patients with epilepsy, and to formulate recommendations for the development of ... -
NHS services for epilepsy from the patient's perspective: a survey of primary, secondary and tertiary care access throughout the UK
(2000)The aims of this study were to estimate the proportion of patients with epilepsy who made primary care and/or hospital outpatient medical consultations within 1 year; to formulate a model of the explanatory variables that ... -
Remodelling the attacker : (transcript of discussion)
(2011)Welcome to the 16th Security Protocols Workshop, or the XVIth Workshop for those of you still think in Latin, and consequently don't regard IP6 as an advance over IPv1. Our theme this year, the Mornington Crescent of ... -
A 3D implementation of ray tracing combined with diffraction on facets: Verification and a potential application
(2006)A 3D implementation of a new model of light scattering applicable to dielectric faceted objects is introduced. The model combines standard geometric optics with diffraction on individual facets. It can be applied to any ...
