Presentation / Conference
Griffiths, L., & Chen, Z. (2007, July). Investigating the differences in web browsing behaviour of Chinese and European users using mouse tracking. Presented at UI-HCII'07 Proceedings of the 2nd international conference on Usability and internationalization Springer-Verlag Berlin, Heidelberg ©2007, Beijing, China

The World Wide Web has become a ubiquitous information source and communication channel. With such an extensive user population, it is imperative to understand how users view Web pages. Studies of Web browsing behaviour aimed at different cultures ha... Read More about Investigating the differences in web browsing behaviour of Chinese and European users using mouse tracking.

An efficient dual-time implicit method for high-lift aerodynamics using differential Reynolds-stress modelling (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Jahangirian, A., & Johnston, L. (2007, July). An efficient dual-time implicit method for high-lift aerodynamics using differential Reynolds-stress modelling. Presented at 2nd European Conference for AeroSpace Sciences, Brussels, Belgium

A method to compute the aerodynamics of multi-element aerofoil, high-lift systems is outlined. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations are solved using an unstructured-grid approach, together with a finite-volume spatial discretisation and a du...

The evaluation of camera motion, defocusing and noise immunity for linear appearance based methods in face recognition (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Hajiarbabi, M., Askari, J., Sadri, S., & Saraee, M. (2007, July). The evaluation of camera motion, defocusing and noise immunity for linear appearance based methods in face recognition. Presented at World Congress on Engineering 2007 Vol I WCE 2007, July 2 - 4, 2007, London, U.K, London, U.K

Face recognition has assigned a special place to itself because of its low intrusiveness, low cost and effort and acceptable accuracy. There are several methods for recognition and appearance based methods is one of the most popular one. Unfortunatel...

Varieties of relationship between research and theory (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Rooke, J. (2007, June). Varieties of relationship between research and theory. Presented at Towards the foundation of theory for the built environment, Digital World Centre, Salford

This paper addresses the proposal that the Unique Adequacy (UA) requirement of methods should be employed as a criterion for research evaluation. Initially, four types of research are identified. The UA concept is employed to distinguish between thes... Read More about Varieties of relationship between research and theory.
