Efficiency of speech and iconic gesture integration for robotic and human communicators - A direct comparison (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. Co-verbal gestures are an important part of human communication, improving its efficiency for information conveyance. A key component of such improvement is the observer's ability to integrate information from the two communication chann...

Input-to-state stable approach to release the conservatism of passivity-based stable haptic interaction (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. Passivity has been a major criterion on designing a stable haptic interface due to many advantages. However, passivity has been suffering from its intrinsic conservatism since it only represents a small set of the whole stable region. Th...

A 9.8 Gbps, 6.5 mW forwarded-clock receiver with phase interpolator and equalized current sampler in 65 nm CMOS (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 IEEE. A full-rate energy-efficient forwarded-clock (FC) receiver is demonstrated in this paper. A current sampler with continuous-time equalization is realized with 20 GHz bandwidth in sampling for data recovery. Moreover, a phase interpolator...

Investigation of the damage mechanisms for mode I delamination growth in foam core sandwich composites using acoustic emission (2015)
Journal Article

© The Author(s) 2015 In this article, acoustic emission monitoring was used to identify different types of damage mechanisms which occur during delamination of sandwich structures. Features of the obtained acoustic emission signals and wavelet-based...

BOB CAT: A large-scale review and delphi consensus for management of Barrett's esophagus with no dysplasia, indefinite for, or low-grade dysplasia (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 by the American College of Gastroenterology. OBJECTIVES:Barrett's esophagus (BE) is a common premalignant lesion for which surveillance is recommended. This strategy is limited by considerable variations in clinical practice. We conducted an i...

Outcomes of treatment targeting syntax production in people with Broca's-type aphasia: Evidence from psycholinguistic assessment tasks and everyday conversation (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists. Background Capturing evidence of the effects of therapy within everyday communication is the holy grail of aphasia treatment design and evaluation. Whilst impaired sentence production is a predo...

S-nitrosylation of the thioredoxin-like domains of protein disulfide isomerase and its role in neurodegenerative conditions (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Conway and Harris. Correct protein folding and inhibition of protein aggregation is facilitated by a cellular "quality control system" that engages a network of protein interactions including molecular chaperones and the ubiquitin proteasome s...

Customer, collaborator or co-creator? What is the role of the student in a changing higher education servicescape? (2015)
Journal Article

Across the globe, higher education (HE) is experiencing ever increasing turbulence. The more established markets are dealing with pressure on budgets, coupled with government intervention to steer HE in particular directions. In contrast, institution...

Improvement in visual search with practice: Mapping learning-related changes in neurocognitive stages of processing (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 the authors. Practice can improve performance on visual search tasks; the neural mechanisms underlying such improvements, however, are not clear. Response time typically shortens with practice, but which components of the stimulus–response pro...

Views of newly-qualified GPs about their training and preparedness: Lessons for extended generalist training (2015)
Journal Article

©British Journal of General Practice. Background: General practice is becoming increasingly complex due to an ageing population with multiple morbidities and the shift of services from secondary to primary care, yet GP training remains largely the sa...

Equations of state implementation for 1-D modelling of performance in ram accelerator thermally choked propulsion mode (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. This paper presents advancement on one-dimensional (1-D) unsteady modelling of a ram accelerator (RAMAC) in the sub-detonative velocity regime by including real-gas equations of state (EoS) in order to account for...
