Fire Retardancy of Natural Fibre Reinforced Sheet Moulding Compound
(2007-07)Due to environmental awareness and economical considerations, natural fibre reinforced polymer composites seem to present a viable alternative to synthetic fibre reinforced polymer composites such as glass fibres. This is ... -
Mechanical properties of carbon-fibre reinforced silicate matrix composites
(2007)A basic ceramic system has been developed by mixing wollastonite ceramic, sodium silicate and aluminium phosphate. In some cases, polyethylene powder and carbon fibres were added to the basic formulation to increase the ... -
Composition and performance
(2012-09)First performance in London of the recital-length 10th Piano Concert, a collection of 70-odd pieces (which are approaching completion) each lasting about a minute. This is a set of discrete works, each of which is complete ... -
A Gentle/S approach to robot assisted neuro-rehabilitation
(Springer Nature Link, 2004-06)Movement disorders (MD) include a group of neurological disorders that involve neuromotor systems. MD can result in several abnormalities ranging from an inability to move, to severe constant and excessive movements. Strokes ... -
Precision Radial Velocity Spectrograph
(SPIE (International Society for Optics and Phonotics), 2008)We present a conceptual design for a Precision Radial Velocity Spectrograph (PRVS) for the Gemini telescope. PRVS is a fibre fed high resolving power (R similar to 70,000 at 2.5 pixel sampling) cryogenic echelle spectrograph ... -
The peg-in-hole : A VR-based haptic assessment for quantifying ED upper limb performance and skills
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Assistive technologies (AT) have the potential to augment individual's life and to promote functional independence. However, in many cases, optimum use of an assistive technology device is restricted due to the difficulties ... -
The i-match project: A VR based system to allow matching of an optimum interface to a user of assistive technology
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Many people with disabilities rely upon items of assistive technology for their independence. However, in many cases, the potential of a specific assistive device is limited by the difficulties in actual user operation. ... -
Analysis of the Fugl-Meyer outcome measures assessing the effectiveness of robot-mediated stroke therapy
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008-04)Robot-mediated therapies offer a new approach to neurorehabilitation. This paper analyses the Fugl-Meyer data from the Gentle/S project and finds that the two intervention phases (sling suspension and robot mediated therapy) ... -
English Universities: Managerial Movement from Academic Collegial Administration to Corporate Managerialism (1960-2013)
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-04-30)The aim of the research in this MA by Research thesis has been to shed light on the development of the notion of “management” and its associated “sociometrics” at UK universities. The research looked at the transformation ... -
Stress, Affect Systems and Eating Pathology in Problematic Weight Regulation
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-05-08)Problematic weight regulation as found in obesity and Anorexia Nervosa (AN) are chronic conditions which require long-term management. In order to develop long-term strategies to manage these conditions, a clearer understanding ... -
Ambulance Service 2030: the Future of Paramedics
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-06-03)Some innovations are termed ‘disruptive’, a designation that is normally applied to technology; examples include computers, digital cameras, and mobile phones. The term can also be applied to groups of workers, particularly ... -
Informational Constraints and Organisation of Behaviour
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-01-24)Based on the view of an agent as an information processing system, and the premise that for such a system it is evolutionary advantageous to be parsimonious with respect to informational burden, an information-theoreti ... -
Power and Narrative in Project Management: Lessons Learned in Recognising the Importance of Phronesis
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-07-16)A component part of modern project management practice is the ‘lessons learned’ activity that is designed to transfer experience and best practice from one project to another, thus improving the practice of project management. ... -
