A scene image classification technique for a ubiquitous visual surveillance system (2019)
Journal Article
Asadzadeh Kaljahi, M., Palaiahnakote, S., Hossein Anisi, M., Yamani Idna Idris, M., Blumenstein, M., & Khurram Khan, M. (2019). A scene image classification technique for a ubiquitous visual surveillance system. Multimedia Tools and Applications, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11042-018-6151-x

The concept of smart cities has quickly evolved to improve the quality of life and provide public safety. Smart cities mitigate harmful environmental impacts and offences and bring energy-efficiency, cost saving and mechanisms for better use of resou...

Reducing simulation performance gap from hempcrete buildings using multi objective optimization (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Hempcrete is increasingly used as a construction material, as it provides stable temperature and relative humidity conditions in buildings. In addition to low energy operations, buildings built from hempcrete possess negative embodied CO2, absorbed i...

Mortality advantage among migrants according to duration of stay in France, 2004–2014 (2019)
Journal Article
Wallace, M., Khlat, M., & Guillot, M. (2019). Mortality advantage among migrants according to duration of stay in France, 2004–2014. BMC Public Health, 19, Article 327. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12889-019-6652-1

Background: The migrant mortality advantage is generally interpreted as reflecting the selection of atypically healthy individuals from the country of origin followed by the wearing off of selection effects over time, a process theorised to be accele...

CS Challenger: Gamifying the Learning of Computer Science Concepts through a Mobile Application Platform (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a huge dropout rate among Computer Science students at the University of Namibia (UNAM). This can be attributed to the lack of engaging methods for learning both basic and advanced computational concepts. Despite gamification concepts in lea...

The limits of super recognition: An other-ethnicity effect in individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills (2019)
Journal Article
Bate, S., Bennetts, R., Hasshim, N., Portch, E., Murray, E., Burns, E., & Dudfield, G. (2019). The limits of super recognition: An other-ethnicity effect in individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance, 45, 363. https://doi.org/10.1037/xhp0000607

In the last decade there has been increasing interest in super-recognizers, who have an extraordinary ability to recognize faces. However, it has not yet been investigated whether these individuals are subject to the same biases in face recognition a...

The Benefits and Limitations of Predicting One Repetition Maximum Using the Load-Velocity Relationship (2019)
Journal Article

This review aims to provide an overview of the current load-velocity (L-V) approaches and their ability to estimate one-repetition maximum (1RM). The bench press exercise appears to be the most valid and reliable when applying this approach. The abil...

Hooked on you: shape of attachment structures in cymothoid isopods reflects parasitic strategy (2019)
Journal Article
Baillie, C., Welicky, R., Hadfield, K., Smit, N., Mariani, S., & Beck, R. (2019). Hooked on you: shape of attachment structures in cymothoid isopods reflects parasitic strategy. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 19, 207. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12862-019-1533-x

Background
Parasite attachment structures are critical traits that influence effective host exploitation and survival. Morphology of attachment structures can reinforce host specificity and niche specialisation, or even enable host switching. Theref...
