Anthropomorphic feedback in user interfaces: the effect of personality traits, context and Grice’s Maxims on effectiveness and preferences
Journal Article
Murano, P., & O’Brian Holt, P. Anthropomorphic feedback in user interfaces: the effect of personality traits, context and Grice’s Maxims on effectiveness and preferences. International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction, 3(4), 52-64

Experimental work on anthropomorphic feedback in user interfaces has shown inconsistent results and researchers offer differing opinions as to the potential usefulness of this style of user interaction. A review of the literature shows that experimen...

Trusting computers through trusting humans: software verification in a safety-critical information system
Journal Article
Adam, A., & Spedding, P. Trusting computers through trusting humans: software verification in a safety-critical information system. International Journal of Technology and Human Interaction, 3(4), 1-14

This article considers the question of how we may trust automatically generated program code. The code
walkthroughs and inspections of software engineering mimic the ways that mathematicians go about assuring
themselves that a mathematical proof is... Read More about Trusting computers through trusting humans: software verification in a safety-critical information system.

Fuzzy clustering with volume prototypes and adaptive cluster merging
Journal Article
Kaymak, U., & Setnes, M. Fuzzy clustering with volume prototypes and adaptive cluster merging. IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 10(6), 705-712. https://doi.org/10.1109/TFUZZ.2002.805901

Two extensions to the objective function-based fuzzy
clustering are proposed. First, the (point) prototypes are extended to hypervolumes, whose size can be fixed or can be determined automatically from the data being clustered. It is shown that clus... Read More about Fuzzy clustering with volume prototypes and adaptive cluster merging.

The biomimetic design of a robot primate using pneumatic muscle actuators
Book Chapter
Davis, S., & Caldwell, D. The biomimetic design of a robot primate using pneumatic muscle actuators. In K. Berns, & R. Dillmann (Eds.), Climbing and walking robots: from biology to industrial applications (CLAWAR 2001) (197-204). Professional Engineering Publishing

This paper descibes the design of a robot primate using pneumatic Muscle Actuators (pMA). The design of the robot follows a biomimetic approach and the primate chosen as inspiration was the Gorilla. The paper discusses a recently completed project wh... Read More about The biomimetic design of a robot primate using pneumatic muscle actuators.

At Capriolo's hotel: heaven, hell and otherworlds in 'Il dopio regno'
Journal Article
Ania, G. At Capriolo's hotel: heaven, hell and otherworlds in 'Il dopio regno'. Italian Studies, 54, 132-156

Paola Capriolo has stated that the kind of truth she searches for and tries to express is outside the sphere of everyday life. She has also claimed: 'Per me la letteratura non può essere che astrazione; anche autoestraniazione e distacco dall'io. Qu...

Nanoscale hydroxyl radical generation from multiphoton ionization of tryptophan
Journal Article
Bisby, R., Crisostomo, A., Botchway, S., & Parker, A. Nanoscale hydroxyl radical generation from multiphoton ionization of tryptophan. Photochemistry and Photobiology, 85(1), 353-357. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1751-1097.2008.00447.x

Exposure of solutions containing both tryptophan and hydrogen peroxide to a pulsed (~180 fs) laser beam at 750 nm induces luminescence characteristic of 5 hydroxytryptophan. The results indicate that 3-photon excitation of tryptophan results in photo... Read More about Nanoscale hydroxyl radical generation from multiphoton ionization of tryptophan.
