Workflow orchestration and provenance management for neuroimaging research using CRISTAL
Preprint / Working Paper
The workflow orchestration and traceability (or provenance) of data is essential in carrying out meaningful analyses of large scale neuroimaging datasets. In both the neuGRID and N4U projects the need for data provenance has been identified by the en...

Deformation-based tactile feedback for telesurgery and telepalpation
Thesis
One of the drawbacks of using current telesurgical devices is the absence of force and tactile feedback from the remote surgical manipulators. The lack of tactile feedback in particular limits the surgeon's perception of tissue characteristics during... Read More about Deformation-based tactile feedback for telesurgery and telepalpation.
Just the ticket? Exploring the contribution of free bus fares policy to quality of later life
Thesis
Increasing longevity and the rapidly ageing UK population present policy makers with the considerable challenge of providing suitable mobility options that facilitate the maintenance of an acceptable quality of life in older age. Since April 2008, UK... Read More about Just the ticket? Exploring the contribution of free bus fares policy to quality of later life.
Bio-inspired prokaryotic array for fault-tolerant electronic systems
Thesis
Integrated circuits and electronic systems fabricated in current technologies suffer from a wide range of faults that may occur during the fabrication process or during the life time of each circuit/device. Soft (non-persistent) faults are caused mai... Read More about Bio-inspired prokaryotic array for fault-tolerant electronic systems.
The use of ‘formal’ travel information pertaining to costs, routes, journey times, or real-time transport disruptions, and its role in travel behaviour (for example, choice of mode, route or departure time) has been widely studied, but little is know...

Understanding the attitudes of older people to road pricing
Thesis
Worldwide the human population shows an ageing demographic structure. Older people often face the danger of social exclusion; arguably more often than other age groups. Nonetheless, at least in the western world, older people are more interested in l... Read More about Understanding the attitudes of older people to road pricing.
Understanding and addressing dyslexia in travel information provision
Thesis
This thesis synthesises two previously disparate fields of study by investigating the attitudes and aspirations of dyslexic people regarding travel information provision.
One of the first in-depth qualitative studies of its kind is presented, with t... Read More about Understanding and addressing dyslexia in travel information provision.
The attitudes of young people towards transport in the context of climate change
Thesis
It has been argued that a key component of tackling climate change is to reduce our reliance on the car. In response, it is put forward by this thesis that influencing young
people before they develop a ‘car habit’ would appear crucial and that a mo... Read More about The attitudes of young people towards transport in the context of climate change.
Residential relocation and travel behaviour change
Thesis
With greater policy emphasis now given to travel demand management, the need for research into understanding travel behaviour, and identifying opportunities to effect travel behaviour change has grown significantly. A key impediment to behaviour chan... Read More about Residential relocation and travel behaviour change.

Bike-rail integration as one sustainable transport solution to reduce car dependence
Thesis
The level of bike-rail integration (combining cycling with rail) in the UK presents an unrealised sustainable mobility potential: two per cent of rail passengers access the rail network by bicycle, contrasting with 40 per cent in the Netherlands. Cyc... Read More about Bike-rail integration as one sustainable transport solution to reduce car dependence.
Oceans and Health Conference
Digital Artefact
The Centre recently hosted an international conference on the oceans and human health. We managed to grab a few words with some of the attendees and asked them what…
