Lump localisation through a deformation-based tactile feedback system using a biologically inspired finger sensor (2012)
Journal Article

The ability to localise harder areas in soft tissues is often desired during robot-assisted surgical operations. A deformation-based tactile feedback system was tested for the detection of objects within soft tissues, after being chosen over common p...

Nuisance Law and the Industrial Revolution: A Reinterpretation of Doctrine and Institutional Competence (2012)
Journal Article

Contrary to the leading studies of Brenner and McLaren, it is argued that nuisance law was consistently a robust constraint on polluting industrial enterprise during the industrial revolution. The defining nuisances of industrialisation were 'inter-n... Read More about Nuisance Law and the Industrial Revolution: A Reinterpretation of Doctrine and Institutional Competence.

The 'Collective Pierre Rivière': Using collective biography and ambling conversational methods to interrogate and re-present pivotal moments from the Pierre Rivière narratives (2012)
Journal Article

Collective biography is a research strategy that works at the level of bodily and emotional knowledge and moves beyond individualized versions of the subject, towards subjects-in-process and subjects-in-relation (Davies and Gannon, 2006). In this pap...

Ontology-driven relational query formulation using the semantic and assertional capabilities of OWL-DL (2012)
Journal Article

This work investigates the extent to which domain knowledge, expressed in a domain ontology, can assist end-users in formulating relational queries that can be executed over a complex relational database. In this regard, an ontology-driven query form... Read More about Ontology-driven relational query formulation using the semantic and assertional capabilities of OWL-DL.

Case study: Ethical guidance for pediatric e-health research using examples from pain research with adolescents (2012)
Journal Article

ObjectiveThe Internet is a frequently used platform for research in pediatric and health psychology. However, there is little pragmatic guidance as to ethical best practice of this research. The absence of guidance is particularly prominent for onlin... Read More about Case study: Ethical guidance for pediatric e-health research using examples from pain research with adolescents.

Robust feature extraction from impedimetric signals using wavelet packet decomposition with application to cytotoxicity testing (2012)
Journal Article

Impedance-based cytotoxicity testing provides a simple, real-time and non-invasive assay technique that interferes minimally with cell morphology and function. In this study, impedimetric measurements of ECV304 cells with increasing concentrations of...
