The importance and usefulness of comparative judgement for education assessment.
(ResearchED, 2019-02)While comparative judgement has now been around for a number of years, it continues to be used in a variety of new ways and across multiple subjects. Jeffrey has specific experience using comparative judgement in design ... -
Ability levels, implicit theories of intelligence, cognitive load, and fluid intelligence: an exploration into the correlation between spatial ability and STEM education.
(ResearchED, 2018-03-10)Decades of empirical evidence demonstrates the correlation between spatial ability and STEM education. However, a causal relationship is yet to be confirmed. This talk will present empirical data concerning this relationship ... -
Engineering education research methods to determine conceptions of engineers and of engineering.
(EERN, 2019-05)Engineering education research has been categorised into the five research areas of ‘engineering epistemologies’, ‘engineering learning mechanisms’, ‘engineering learning systems’, engineering diversity and inclusiveness’, ... -
Investigating perceptions of intelligence as an approach to understanding female representation in technology and engineering education.
(TERG, 2019-06)Gender representation in technology and engineering education is generally not equitable with females being underrepresented in many areas (e.g. Sultan, Axell, & Hallström, 2018; Yoder, 2017). While there are many perspectives ... -
Vehicular cloud networks: architecture, applications and security issues.
(IEEE, 2016-03-14)Vehicular Ad Hoc Networks (VANET) are the largest real life application of ad-hoc networks where nodes are represented via fast moving vehicles. This paper introduces the future emerging technology, i.e., Vehicular Cloud ... -
A container-based edge cloud PaaS architecture based on Raspberry Pi Clusters.
(IEEE, 2016-08)Cloud technology is moving towards multi-cloud environments with the inclusion of various devices. Cloud and IoT integration resulting in so-called edge cloud and fog computing has started. This requires the combination ... -
Containers and clusters for edge cloud architectures - a technology review.
(IEEE, 2015-10-26)Cloud technology is moving towards more distribution across multi-clouds and the inclusion of various devices, as evident through IoT and network integration in the context of edge cloud and fog computing. Generally, ... -
Impact of torrefaction on properties of Miscanthus x giganteus relevant to gasification.
(Elsevier, 2014-04-01)Miscanthus × giganteus (M × G) was torrefied to improve its thermal and physical properties prior to thermal conversion. Torrefaction was undertaken at a series of temperatures from 230 to 290 °C for residence times varying ... -
Framing the constructive alignment of design within technology subjects in general education.
(Springer, 2020-05-27)Design is core element of general technology education internationally. While there is a degree of contention with regards to its treatment, there is general consensus that the inclusion of design in some form is important, ... -
Development of disulfiram-loaded vaginal rings for the localised treatment of cervical cancer.
(Elsevier, 2014-11)Cervical cancer is the third most prevalent cancer in women and disproportionately affects those in low resource settings due to limited programs for screening and prevention. In the developed world treatment for the disease ... -
A parametric study of pedestrian vertical force models for dynamic analysis of footbridges.
(2011-10)Footbridge vibration has received much attention in recent years. However, stochastic models for crowd loading are not common, and estimation of crowd-induced vibration is typically done through enhancement factors applied ... -
Development of a reusable learning object for use in teaching structural engineering.
(AIT, 2013)Reusable learning objects may be considered to be pre-developed digital learning activities that may be integrated into lessons, modules, and courses. Their advantages include their flexibility of content, their accessibility ... -
Measurement of time-dependent colour variation in concrete.
(BCRI, 2012-09)The phenomenon of colour variation in finished concrete has become a contentious issue in recent years as engineers and designers strive, not only for blemish free finishes, but crisp “white” concretes with uniformity ... -
The production of solid dosage forms from non-degradable polymers.
(Bentham Science, 2015)Non-degradable polymers have an important function in medicine. Solid dosage forms for longer term implantation require to be constructed from materials that will not degrade or erode over time and also offer the utmost ... -
The effect of clusters within crowds of pedestrians on the vertical response of a flexible footbridge.
(BCRI, 2012-09)The issue of excessive vibrations of footbridges due to the passage of pedestrians has been well documented in the past decade. Despite this there still remains great uncertainty as to how to predict the acceleration ... -
Evaluation of the early in vivo response of a functionally graded macroporous scaffold in an osteochondral defect in a rabbit model.
(Springer, 2016-05)Cartilage tissue engineering is a multifactorial problem requiring a wide range of material property requirements from provision of biological cues to facilitation of mechanical support in load-bearing diarthrodial joints. ... -
Audio masking effect on inter-component skews in olfaction-enhanced multimedia presentations.
(ACM, 2016-08)Media-rich content plays a vital role in consumer applications today, as these applications try to find new and interesting ways to engage their users. Video, audio, and the more traditional forms of media content continue ... -
Nonlinear finite element of FRP reinforced concrete structures.
(BCRI, 2012-09)reinforcement is a non-corrosive alternative to steel and is gaining popularity for use in reinforced concrete structures exposed to corrosive environments. A major difference between the two reinforcing materials is their ... -
Development of a multi-layered vaginal tablet containing Dapivirine, Levonorgestrel and Acyclovir for use as a multipurpose prevention technology.
(Elsevier, 2016-07)Multipurpose prevention technologies (MPTs) are preferably single dosage forms designed to simultaneously address multiple sexual and reproductive health needs, such as unintended pregnancy, HIV infection and other ... -
Parents' perspectives of the transition to home when a child has complex technological health care needs.
(Ubiquity Press, 2015-09-29)Introduction: There is an increasing number of children with complex care needs, however, there is limited evidence of the experience of families during the process of transitioning to becoming their child’s primary care ...
