Involving the public in noise surveys via mobile technology (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Mydlarz, C., Drumm, I., & Cox, T. (2008, April). Involving the public in noise surveys via mobile technology. Presented at IOA Spring Conference 2008, Reading, UK

The IMPRINtS project (Internet and Mobile technologies for a Public Role In Noise Surveying) aims to enable and encourage public participation in a large-scale environmental noise survey. The primary objective of this work is to raise public awarenes... Read More about Involving the public in noise surveys via mobile technology.

Physiological responses and subjective estimates of sounds : initial results of pilot study (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In an attempt to understand the effect of sounds on physiological measurements, along the positive (pleasant) - negative (unpleasant) subjective dimension, 51 subjects (26 male) listened to 13 sounds in clips of 8s interspersed with 16s of silence wh...

The need for Benefits Realisation in healthcare – Creating a benefits driven culture (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Sapountzis, S., Harris, K., & Kagioglou, M. (2008, April). The need for Benefits Realisation in healthcare – Creating a benefits driven culture. Presented at 1st HaCIRIC Symposium: Redefining healthcare infrastructure, Integratingservices, technologies, and the built environment, London , UK

Transformation and change for a better health and care delivery system have been the
driving forces behind UK’s government initiatives and investments during the past
decade. Questions have been raised in terms of how successful these investments h... Read More about The need for Benefits Realisation in healthcare – Creating a benefits driven culture.

Evaluating trust in electronic commerce : a study based on the information provided on merchants' websites (2008)
Journal Article
Meziane, F., & Kasiran, M. (2008). Evaluating trust in electronic commerce : a study based on the information provided on merchants' websites. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 59(4), 464-472. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.jors.2602430

Lack of trust has been identified as a major problem hampering the growth of Electronic Commerce (EC). It is reported by many studies that a large number of online shoppers abandon their transactions because they do not trust the website when they ar...

Lüke and power residue sequence diffusers (2008)
Journal Article
Dadiotis, K., Angus, J., & Cox, T. (2008). Lüke and power residue sequence diffusers. ˜The œJournal of the Acoustical Society of America (Online), 123(4), 2035-2042. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.2885761

Conventional Schroeder diffusers have been successfully used for many years. However, their frequency range is limited by the flat plate effect that occurs when all the wells radiate in phase. This occurs at harmonics of p times the design frequency... Read More about Lüke and power residue sequence diffusers.

Utilisation of virtual infrastructures to assist SOA for efficient realisation of SaaS (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Mihindu, S. (2008, March). Utilisation of virtual infrastructures to assist SOA for efficient realisation of SaaS. Presented at UKUUG's annual Large Installation Systems Administration (LISA) conference, Birmingham Conservatoire, Birmingham, UK

SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) has become a well-known, elusive acronym in ICT. Many conflicting definitions of SOA among the business and development communities have evolved due to the significant attention it has received since Alexander Pasi...

A combined blind source separation and adaptive noise cancellation scheme with potential application in blind acoustic parameter extraction (2008)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Chambers, J., Kendrick, P., Cox, T., & Li, F. (2008). A combined blind source separation and adaptive noise cancellation scheme with potential application in blind acoustic parameter extraction. Neurocomputing, 71(10-12), 2127-2139. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2007.09.019

Room acoustic parameters such as reverberation time (RT) can be extracted from passively received speech signals by certain ‘blind’ methods, thereby mitigating the need for good controlled excitation signals or prior information of the room geometry....

An initial study into augmented inward looking exploration and navigation in CAVE-like IPT systems (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Aspin, R. (2008, March). An initial study into augmented inward looking exploration and navigation in CAVE-like IPT systems. Poster presented at Virtual Reality Conference - VR '08, Nevada, USA

This research presents and evaluates a CAVE-like IPT system in which a Tracked Display and Interaction Device (TDID), based on a Tablet PC, is used to display an augmented viewing system for detailed examination of a close focused objects. This maint... Read More about An initial study into augmented inward looking exploration and navigation in CAVE-like IPT systems.
