Music-induced emotions can be predicted from a combination of brain activity and acoustic features
Journal Article
It is widely acknowledged that music can communicate and induce a wide range of emotions in the listener. However, music is a highly-complex audio signal composed of a wide range of complex time- and frequency-varying components. Additionally, music-...

Towards human-computer music interaction : evaluation of an affectively-driven music generator via galvanic skin response measures
Presentation / Conference Contribution
An affectively driven music generation system is described and evaluated. The system is developed for the intended eventual use in human-computer interaction systems such as brain-computer music interfaces. It is evaluated for its ability to induce c...

Identifying music-induced emotions from EEG for use in brain-computer music interfacing
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Brain-computer music interfaces (BCMI) provide a method to modulate an individuals affective state via the selection or generation of music according to their current affective state. Potential applications of such systems may include entertainment o... Read More about Identifying music-induced emotions from EEG for use in brain-computer music interfacing.
Co-evaporated formamidinium lead iodide solar cells
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Highly efficient solar cells using methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) have been reported by many researchers. Recently, other metal halide perovskites have been developed which promise better stability. For example replacing the organic cation methy...

Safety. risk and uncertainties in transportation and transit system
Book
Disruptions in the operation of transportation and transit infrastructure may put at risk the functioning of our societies and their economies. Such disruptions may result from many kinds of hazards and physical and/or cyber-attacks on installations... Read More about Safety. risk and uncertainties in transportation and transit system.
DataTV 2019 : 1st international workshop on data-driven personalisation of television
Presentation / Conference Contribution
The first international workshop on Data-driven Personalisation of Television aims to highlight the significantly growing importance of data in the support of new television content consumption experiences. This includes automatic video summarization... Read More about DataTV 2019 : 1st international workshop on data-driven personalisation of television.
Structure-borne sound transmission within electric power steering systems
Thesis
Transfer path analysis (TPA) is an established and valuable tool in the automotive industry, to
determine the contributions of structure-borne sound sources to receiver responses at target positions.
The classical TPA approach is based on contact f... Read More about Structure-borne sound transmission within electric power steering systems.
The Relationship between Knowledge Sharing and Organizational Culture: Theoretical Framework
Journal Article
Although knowledge sharing and organisational culture are two different concepts, there is a
significant relationship between them. Factors
such as communication and trust between staff, reward systems, information systems and organisational struc... Read More about The Relationship between Knowledge Sharing and Organizational Culture: Theoretical Framework.

Book
Welcome to the 13th International Postgraduate Research Conference (IPGRC 2017) hosted by the School of the Built Environment at University of Salford, UK. This year’s IPGRC is organised as part of the International Research Week 2017- ‘Shaping Tomor... Read More about 13th International Postgraduate Research Conference 2017 : conference proceedings.
Accurate distance cues are important in the degree of realism provided by virtual audio systems. In the last decade there has been an increased interest in this research area. The main focus of this research project is to investigate the effect of di...

Study of nano-particle deposition in tubular pipes under turbulent condition
Presentation / Conference Contribution
This paper aims to study the deposition and dispersion of nano-particles in turbulent tubular
pipe flows. In this work, the Eulerian-Lagrangian particle tracking method is used to simulate the
transport of nano-particles in turbulent flows under th... Read More about Study of nano-particle deposition in tubular pipes under turbulent condition.
Universities and festivals : cultural production in context
Thesis
This thesis critically examines universities as cultural producers within the creative ecologies of their cities, with a focus on the occasions when they produce cultural events for the public. It is a context-specific and empirical study that examin... Read More about Universities and festivals : cultural production in context.
VPCH : a consistent hashing algorithm for better load balancing in a hadoop environment
Book Chapter
MapReduce (MR) is a popular programming model for the purposes of processing large data sets among data clusters or grids, e.g. a Hadoop environment. Load balancing as a key factor affecting the performance of map resource distribution, has recently...

A smart speculative execution strategy based on node classification for heterogeneous Hadoop systems
Book Chapter
MapReduce (MR) has been widely used to process distributed large data sets. Meanwhile, speculative execution is known as an approach for dealing with same problems by backing up those tasks running on a low performance machine to a higher one. In thi...

Review of risk factors for human echinococcosis prevalence on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, China: a prospective for control options
Journal Article
Objective: Echinococcosis is a major parasitic zoonosis of public health importance in western China. In 2004, the Chinese Ministry of Health estimated that 380,000 people had the disease in the region. The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau is highly co-endemic...
