Testing the application of terrestrial laser scanning to measure forest canopy gap fraction (2013)
Journal Article
Ramirez Cardozo, F., Armitage, R., & Danson, F. (2013). Testing the application of terrestrial laser scanning to measure forest canopy gap fraction. Remote Sensing, 5(6), 3037-3056. https://doi.org/10.3390/rs5063037

Terrestrial laser scanners (TLS) have the potential to revolutionise measurement of the three-dimensional structure of vegetation canopies for applications in ecology, hydrology and climate change. This potential has been the subject of recent resear... Read More about Testing the application of terrestrial laser scanning to measure forest canopy gap fraction.

Probability of cloud-free observation conditions across Great Britain estimated using MODIS cloud mask (2013)
Journal Article
Armitage, R., Alberto Ramirez, F., Mark Danson, F., & Ogunbadewa, E. (2013). Probability of cloud-free observation conditions across Great Britain estimated using MODIS cloud mask. Remote Sensing Letters, 4(5), 427-435. https://doi.org/10.1080/2150704X.2012.744486

Image objects obtained by segmentation usually provide a much more reliable representation of real world objects than individual pixels. However, in regions with high quality spatial information, image analysis should focus on objects of interest...

A holistic, multi-level analysis identifying the impact of classroom design on pupils’ learning (2013)
Journal Article
Barrett, P., Zhang, Y., Moffatt, J., & Kobbacy, K. (2013). A holistic, multi-level analysis identifying the impact of classroom design on pupils’ learning. Building and Environment, 59, 678-689. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.buildenv.2012.09.016

The aim of this study was to explore if there is any evidence for demonstrable impacts of school building design on the learning rates of pupils in primary schools. Hypotheses as to positive impacts on learning were developed for 10 design paramete...

Snowmelt contributions to discharge of the Ganges (2013)
Journal Article
Siderius, C., Biemans, H., Wiltshire, A., Rao, S., Franssen, W., Kumar, P., …Collins, D. (2013). Snowmelt contributions to discharge of the Ganges. Science of the Total Environment, 468-46, S93-S101. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2013.05.084

Himalayan headwaters supply large quantities of runoff derived from snowmelt and monsoon rainfall to the Ganges River. Actual snowmelt contribution to discharge in the Ganges remains conjectural under both present and future climatic conditions. As s...

Drivers of Echinococcus multilocularis Transmission in China: small mammal diversity, landscape or climate? (2013)
Journal Article
Yang, G., Giraudoux, P., Raoul, F., Pleydell, D., Li, T., Han, X., …Craig, P. (2013). Drivers of Echinococcus multilocularis Transmission in China: small mammal diversity, landscape or climate?. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 7(3), e2045. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002045

BACKGROUND:Human alveolar echinococcocosis (AE) is a highly pathogenic zoonotic disease caused by the larval stage of the cestode E. multilocularis. Its life-cycle includes more than 40 species of small mammal intermediate hosts. Therefore, host biod...

Novel antibacterial silver-silica surface coatings prepared by chemical vapour deposition for infection control (2013)
Journal Article
Varghese, S., Elfakhri, S., Sheel, D., Sheel, P., Bolton, F., & Foster, H. (2013). Novel antibacterial silver-silica surface coatings prepared by chemical vapour deposition for infection control. Journal of Applied Microbiology, 115(5), 1107-1116. https://doi.org/10.1111/jam.12308

Aims: Environmental contamination plays an important role in the transmission of infections, especially healthcare-associated infections. Disinfection transiently reduces contamination, but surfaces can rapidly become re-contaminated. Antimicrobia...

Accurate localization of incidental findings on the computed tomography attenuation correction image (2013)
Journal Article
Thompson, J., Hogg, P., Higham, S., & Manning, D. (2013). Accurate localization of incidental findings on the computed tomography attenuation correction image. Nuclear Medicine Communications, 34(2), 180-184. https://doi.org/10.1097/MNM.0b013e32835c0984

This observer performance study assessed lesion detection in the computed tomography attenuation correction image, as would be produced for myocardial perfusion imaging over a tube current (mA) range. A static anthropomorphic chest phantom contai... Read More about Accurate localization of incidental findings on the computed tomography attenuation correction image.

On the subjective nature of binaural externalisation (2013)
Journal Article
Alastair, P., & Fazenda, B. (2013). On the subjective nature of binaural externalisation. Proceedings of the Institute of Acoustics, 35(2),

Externalisation (the sensation of hearing a sound object outside the head) on headphone reproduction is a recurrent topic in modern research for binaural sound reproduction. One of the inherent issues with testing for externalisation is its quantific... Read More about On the subjective nature of binaural externalisation.

Awareness system for headphone users (2013)
Journal Article
Kay, J., & Fazenda, B. (2013). Awareness system for headphone users. Proceedings of the Institute of Acoustics, 35(2),

Hearing is arguably one of the most important senses in providing situational awareness and maintaining personal safety. There has been recently a marked increase of headphone use in public environments where, arguably, one’s safety might be jeopardi... Read More about Awareness system for headphone users.
