Presenting and investigating the efficacy of an educational interactive mobile application for British Sign Language using hand gesture detection techniques (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Restituyo, C., Loizides, F., Yang, S., Weir, K., Worrallo, A., Hartley, T., …Loizou, M. (2017, October). Presenting and investigating the efficacy of an educational interactive mobile application for British Sign Language using hand gesture detection techniques. Paper presented at 15th World Conference on Mobile and Contextual Learning

In this paper we present the design and development of a mobile application that assists learners of British Sign Language. The application uses interaction; namely, image recognition of a participant's gestures to give feedback as to the correctness...

Voltammetric behaviour of zinc at a 3-D printed carbon nanofiber–graphite–polystyrene electrode and its anodic stripping voltammetric determination in water (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Honeychurch, K. C., Rymansaib, Z., & Iravani, P. (2017, May). Voltammetric behaviour of zinc at a 3-D printed carbon nanofiber–graphite–polystyrene electrode and its anodic stripping voltammetric determination in water. Poster presented at 5th International Conference on Bio-Sensing Technology, Riva del Garda (on Lake Garda), Italy

Previous studies have shown the possibility of 3-D printing carbon electrodes. However, these studies required further fabrication steps. In this present investigation we show for the first time the possibility of utilising fully 3-D printed carbon n...
