Design of a hybrid robot control system using memristor-model and ant-inspired based information transfer protocols (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

It is not always possible for a robot to process all the information from its sensors in a timely manner and thus quick and yet valid approximations of the robot's situation are needed. Here we design hybrid control for a robot within this limit usin...

Does the D.C. response of memristors allow robotic short-term memory and a possible route to artificial time perception? (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Time perception is essential for task switching, and in the mammalian brain appears alongside other processes. Memristors are electronic components used as synapses and as models for neurons. The d.c. response of memristors can be considered as a typ...

Soil microarthropod community dynamics in extensive green roofs (2013)
Journal Article

Green roofs are of increasing interest to ecologists, engineers and architects, as cities grow and aim to become more sustainable. They could be exploited to improve urban biodiversity and ecosystem services, yet almost nothing is known about them fr...

Health behaviour change interventions for the promotion of physical activity in rheumatoid arthritis: A systematic review (2013)
Journal Article

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory, autoimmune disease with typical onset between the ages of 40 and 50years. Increasing levels of physical activity (PA) have been shown to decrease inflammation, reduce pain, increase fu...

Haptic perception of material properties and implications for applications (2013)
Journal Article

Perceiving the material properties of objects through touch is generally superior to the perception of shape. We review major material properties accessible through haptic interaction, along with theoretical accounts of the underlying perceptual proc...

Gabriel Scally - This place is killing me! (2013)
Digital Artefact

Gabriel Scally examines how the places we live in shape our health - and how changes to the fabric of urban spaces can improve our lives. Recorded at TEDMEDL...

Assessing the impact of the LinkAge hub in Whitehall and St.George, Bristol: Briefing report (2013)
Report

This is a briefing report. Briefing reports are typically used to keep those who make decisions appraised of an issue they wish to focus on. They are often used to appraise an organization of a particular project or piece of work. LinkAge, Bristol co...

Manipulating with excitations: Waves or gliders? (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Excitable media are classical examples of un- conventional computing devices. Using waves to represent information and wave interactions to represent information processing, excitable media achieve computation versatility comparable to traditional te...

‘Hello sweetie pie’: A sociolinguistic analysis of terms of endearment in a Ghanaian university (2013)
Journal Article

Following Brown and Gilman's (1960) study, sociolinguists have shown an increasing interest in the use of address forms in various social milieus such as religion, politics, media and academia. Using a two-pronged conceptual framework derived from in... Read More about ‘Hello sweetie pie’: A sociolinguistic analysis of terms of endearment in a Ghanaian university.

Cities and flooding: Lessons in resilience from case studies of integrated urban flood risk management (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Flooding can cause disruption and devastation in cities, with massive damage to livelihoods, property and urban infrastructure as recently experienced in New York City, Jakarta, Bangkok, Accra, Mississippi and Queensland. For cities in developing nat... Read More about Cities and flooding: Lessons in resilience from case studies of integrated urban flood risk management.

Determining the reliable minimum unit capacitance for the DAC capacitor array of SAR ADCs (2013)
Journal Article

The layout area of an SAR ADC is mainly occupied by its DAC capacitor array. Since there are 2 matched unit capacitors employed for a binary-weighted N-bit DAC, selecting a small unit capacitance is the key to reducing the layout area of the capacit...

Taking a breath for better health (2013)
Journal Article

What does your breath say about you? It might tell the world (or at least anyone at close quarters) that you didn’t brush your teeth this morning, or that you ate garlic last night. But there might also be other, subtle and important clues in there a... Read More about Taking a breath for better health.

Facilitators and barriers to engagement in parenting programs: A qualitative systematic review (2013)
Journal Article

Parenting programs have the potential to improve the health and well-being of parents and children. A challenge for providers is to recruit and retain parents in programs. Studies researching engagement with programs have largely focused on providers... Read More about Facilitators and barriers to engagement in parenting programs: A qualitative systematic review.
