Presentation / Conference
Drew, H., Ritchie, F., & King, A. (2013, December). How do knowledge brokers work? Implications for policy and practice in the case of WERS. Paper presented at 3rd International COSINUS ‘Innovation Systems and the new role of Universities’, Oran, Algeria

The paper highlights the successful role played by knowledge brokers in bridging the gap between research and policy development. Drawing on the work of Oldham and McLean (1997) on the role of knowledge brokers, the paper identifies that intermediari... Read More about How do knowledge brokers work?

"If I See Somebody. I'll Immediately Scope Them Out": Anorexia Nervosa Clients' Perceptions of Their Therapists' Body (2013)
Journal Article
Rance, N., Clarke, V., & Moller, N. (2014). "If I See Somebody. I'll Immediately Scope Them Out": Anorexia Nervosa Clients' Perceptions of Their Therapists' Body. Eating Disorders, 22(2), 111-120. https://doi.org/10.1080/10640266.2013.860847

Although people with eating disorders are known to observe and assess body related stimuli, research has yet to explore these behaviors in the therapy room. Consequently, practitioners do not know if their bodies are having an impact on their clients... Read More about "If I See Somebody. I'll Immediately Scope Them Out": Anorexia Nervosa Clients' Perceptions of Their Therapists' Body.

How can I help you? Comparing engagement classification strategies for a robot bartender (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Foster, M. E., Gaschler, A., & Giuliani, M. (2013, December). How can I help you? Comparing engagement classification strategies for a robot bartender. Paper presented at 15th International Conference on Multimodal Interfaces (ICMI 2013), Sydney, Australia

A robot agent existing in the physical world must be able to understand the social states of the human users it interacts with in order to respond appropriately. We compared two implemented methods for estimating the engagement state of customers for... Read More about How can I help you? Comparing engagement classification strategies for a robot bartender.

Connecting spiking neurons to a spiking memristor network changes the memristor dynamics (2013)
Presentation / Conference
Gater, D., Iqbal, A., Davey, J. S., & Gale, E. (2013, December). Connecting spiking neurons to a spiking memristor network changes the memristor dynamics. Paper presented at Proceedings of the International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems (ICECS) 2013, Abu Dhabi, UAE

Memristors have been suggested as neuromorphic computing elements. Spike-time dependent plasticity and the Hodgkin-Huxley model of the neuron have both been modelled effectively by memristor theory. The d.c. response of the memristor is a current... Read More about Connecting spiking neurons to a spiking memristor network changes the memristor dynamics.
