Presentation / Conference
McCormick, S. (2015, January). Choosing make believe : pretence or re-orientatation in the care of individuals living with dementia?. Presented at Representing Dementia: a symposium exploring representations of dementia within the arts and popular imagination, Royal Holloway, London

‘The stage presents things that are make-believe; presumably real life presents things that are real and sometimes not well-rehearsed’ (Goffman, E. 1959, preface).


As a student nurse, one quickly learns two strategies when caring for individuals... Read More about Choosing make believe : pretence or re-orientatation in the care of individuals living with dementia?.

A survey of rheumatology occupational therapy compression glove practice and provision in North-West England (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Hammond, A., Laver, C., Jones, V., & Webb, J. (2015, January). A survey of rheumatology occupational therapy compression glove practice and provision in North-West England. Poster presented at College of Occupational Therapists Specialist Section Rheumatology Annual Conference, York

Introduction & Aims: Compression gloves are provided to reduce hand pain and stiffness in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and hand osteoarthritis (OA). We surveyed North West Region Rheumatology occupational therapists (NWRROTs) to investigate practice, we...

Institutional reform in Italy to respond to the EU challenge : Renzi’s constitutional reform project (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Bull, M. (2015, January). Institutional reform in Italy to respond to the EU challenge : Renzi’s constitutional reform project. Presented at The 2014 European Elections: Italian Politics and the European Challenge, European Policies Research Centre, University of Strathclyde

This paper evaluates Renzi’s constitutional reform programme by assessing it against the main reasons for its failure to be achieved in the past two decades. The first section outlines the scale of those failures against the expectations of the putat...

Reflexivity and emergence : Research as a complex system (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Scott, J. (2015, January). Reflexivity and emergence : Research as a complex system. Presented at Performing Research Intensive, Royal Central School of Speech and Drama - University of London

This performance lecture uses my live intermedial practice to present research in the creative arts as a complex system, where interactions between the ‘parts’ of this system function to produce ‘novel properties’ (Beckerman in Barrett and Bolt 2010:...

Experimental verification of lift enhancement of laminar flow airfoil RG15 in low reynolds number boundary layers (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Ariff, O., Salami, E., Teh, W., Sajjad, K., & Go, T. (2015, January). Experimental verification of lift enhancement of laminar flow airfoil RG15 in low reynolds number boundary layers. Presented at 12th International Bhurban Conference on Applied Sciences and Technology (IBCAST), Islamabad, Pakistan

Dynamic soaring is a cyclic manoeuvre practiced by RC glider pilots and marine avian species which utilises wind gradients on the leeward side of geophysical features to increase flight speed. The technique has been characterized by extraordinary lif... Read More about Experimental verification of lift enhancement of laminar flow airfoil RG15 in low reynolds number boundary layers.

An architecture to support ultrasound report generation and standardisation (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Zulkarnain, N., Crofts, G., & Meziane, F. (2015, January). An architecture to support ultrasound report generation and standardisation. Presented at 8th International Conference on Health Informatics, Lisbon, Portuga

Ultrasound reports are developed in different ways by clinicians and radiologists. These variations in
reporting style, content and format could impact on the value of the report and the way it is interpreted,
which in turn have implications on pa... Read More about An architecture to support ultrasound report generation and standardisation.

EECD : a code dissemination protocol in a WSN-based Home Energy Management System (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Liu, Q., Shen, J., Xiao, B., Wang, B., & Linge, N. (2015, January). EECD : a code dissemination protocol in a WSN-based Home Energy Management System. Presented at 2015 IEEE International Conference on Consumer Electronics (ICCE), Las Vegas, NV USA

A WSN enabled Home Energy Management System (HEMS) can achieve user behaviour change by providing real-time feedback of domestic energy consumption. However, features in collecting nodes within HEMS Systems need to change to allow new working pattern...

Key parameters of air breathing two-stroke combustion engines for integration into small scale UAVs (2015)
Presentation / Conference
Ariff, O., Salami, E., & Romli, F. (2015, January). Key parameters of air breathing two-stroke combustion engines for integration into small scale UAVs. Presented at 53rd American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Aerospace Sciences Conference, Kissimmee, Florida

The advent of low cost civilian small scale UAV has resulted in the extension of the limits of range and endurance. Among the many design parameters, the selection of powerplants and propellers for optimal range and endurance is dependent upon known...
