Robust deformable shape reconstruction from monocular video with manifold forests (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, The Author(s). Existing approaches to recover structure of 3D deformable objects and camera motion parameters from an uncalibrated images assume the object’s shape could be modelled well by a linear subspace. These methods have been proven ef... Read More about Robust deformable shape reconstruction from monocular video with manifold forests.

Addressing the needs of disabled cyclists (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

People with a disability have been found to be at increased risk of developing serious health conditions – often linked to obesity as a consequence of a more sedentary life. Cycling has the potential to offer significant health benefits to disabled p... Read More about Addressing the needs of disabled cyclists.

Snake energy analysis and result validation for a mobile laser scanning data-based automated road edge extraction algorithm (2016)
Journal Article

© 2008-2012 IEEE. The negative impact of road accidents cannot be ignored in terms of the very sizeable social and economic loss. Road infrastructure has been identified as one of the main causes of the road accidents. They are required to be recorde...

This paper explored representations of 'deviant play' in selected recent children's books.

Utilising Biographical Narrative Interpretive Methods: rich perspectives on union learning journeys and learner motivations (2016)
Journal Article

© 2014 Taylor & Francis. This article explores the use of Biographical Narrative Interpretive Methods (BNIM) in research on motivations for trade union learning. Our use of BNIM – a new methodological approach for us – was intended to test our own...

Great Britain adults' opinions on cycling: Implications for policy (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016 Elsevier Ltd. In its neglect of cycling, the transport policy history of Great Britain is typical of many car-dependent societies. Policy inertia with respect to sustainable travel may be driven by the assumptions that, firstly, most household...

What is in a label? Rainforest-Alliance certified banana production versus non-certified conventional banana production (2016)
Journal Article

Export banana production in Latin America is pesticide intensive, receiving much negative publicity regarding human health problems and environmental degradation. The Rainforest Alliance (RA) certification scheme was established to certify farms that... Read More about What is in a label? Rainforest-Alliance certified banana production versus non-certified conventional banana production.

Dynamic NF-κb and E2F interactions control the priority and timing of inflammatory signalling and cell proliferation (2016)
Journal Article

© Ankers et al. Dynamic cellular systems reprogram gene expression to ensure appropriate cellular fate responses to specific extracellular cues. Here we demonstrate that the dynamics of Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) signalling and the cell cycle are...

A new interaction force decomposition maximizing compensating forces under physical work constraints (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In manipulation tasks interaction forces are often decomposed to be able to control robustness-reflective and accelerating forces separately. While this decomposition is typically performed for the synthesis of interaction forces to be applied for ex...
