Organisational dynamics and adoption of innovations : a study within the context of software firms in Sri Lanka (2017)
Journal Article

This paper examines the effect of organisational dynamics on innovation focus using the residual dominant and emergent theoretical framework (RDE) and the empirical evidence of four case studies. The findings revealed that different types of innovati... Read More about Organisational dynamics and adoption of innovations : a study within the context of software firms in Sri Lanka.

When voluntary work makes you sick (2017)
Presentation / Conference
Kamerāde, D., & Bennett, M. (2017, November). When voluntary work makes you sick. Presented at Social (In)Security: Lived Experiences of the Benefits System, Manchester Museum of Industry and Science

Due to growing labour market deregulation and flexibilisation an increasing number of people are likely to experience unemployment and declining mental health and well-being associated with it. This article explores whether engagement in voluntary wo... Read More about When voluntary work makes you sick.

How do we get there? Effects of cognitive aging on route memory (2017)
Journal Article
O'Malley, M., Innes, A., & Wiener, J. (2017). How do we get there? Effects of cognitive aging on route memory. Memory and Cognition, 46(2), 274-284. https://doi.org/10.3758/s13421-017-0763-7

Research into the effects of cognitive aging on route navigation usually focuses on differences in learning performance. In contrast, we investigated age-related differences in route knowledge after successful route learning. One young and two groups... Read More about How do we get there?

Learning static spectral weightings for speech intelligibility enhancement in noise (2017)
Journal Article
Tang, Y., & Cooke, M. (2018). Learning static spectral weightings for speech intelligibility enhancement in noise. Computer Speech and Language, 49, 1-16. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.csl.2017.10.003

Near-end speech enhancement works by modifying speech prior to presentation in a noisy environment, typically operating under a constraint of limited or no increase in speech level. One issue is the extent to which near-end enhancement techniques req... Read More about Learning static spectral weightings for speech intelligibility enhancement in noise.
