The universal soldier: enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidant functions of serum albumin.
(Article)As a carrier of many biologically active compounds, blood is exposed to oxidants to a greater extent than the intracellular environment. Serum albumin plays a key role in antioxidant defence under both normal and oxidative ... -
Methodological Challenges to Comparative Histories of Cinema Audiences
(Article)This article reflects on the challenges of comparative oral history analysis by taking the BA/Leverhulme-funded project Mapping European Cinema: a comparative project on cinema-going experiences in the 1950s (2016-2017) ... -
An initial study to assess the perceived realism of agent crowd behaviour in a virtual city
(Conference)This paper examines the development of a crowd simulation in a virtual city, and a perceptual experiment to identify features of behaviour which can be linked to perceived realism. This research is expected to feedback ... -
Effect of carrier solvent in 1,2-indanedione formulation on the development of fingermarks on porous substrates
(Article)As an important technique for the detection of fingermarks on porous surfaces, 1,2-indanedione is widely used due to its excellent detection performance. In order to optimize the effectiveness of 1,2-indanedione, several ... -
A perceptual study into the behaviour of autonomous agents within a virtual urban environment
(Conference)Simulating vast crowds of autonomous agents within a procedurally generated virtual environment is a challenging endeavour from a technical perspective, however it becomes even more difficult when the subjective nature of ... -
SUPER-RESOLUTION OF 3D MRI CORRUPTED BY HEAVY NOISE WITH THE MEDIAN FILTER TRANSFORM
(Conference)The acquisition of 3D MRIs is adversely affected by many degrading factors including low spatial resolution and noise. Image enhancement techniques are commonplace, but there are few proposals that address the increase of ... -
Developing Gamified Elements to Influence Positive Behavioural Change towards Organisational Energy Efficiency
(Conference)Demands for energy within public sector buildings, such as administrative offices, cultural heritage sites, and museums, represent a significant financial and environmental burden. With issues relating to climate change ... -
Perceived Realism of Crowd Behaviour with Social Forces
(Conference)This paper investigates the development of an urban crowd simulation for the purposes of psychophysical experimentation. Whilst artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing to produce more concise and interesting crowd ... -
Developing healthy weight maintenance through co-creation: a partnership with Black African migrant community in East Midlands
(Article)Background: Obesity prevalence in the UK varies according to ethnicity, with children from minority ethnic groups experiencing higher levels, and yet, there is a scarcity of projects that involve minority ethnic groups ... -
Fostering Engagement with Cultural Heritage Through Immersive VR and Gamification
(Book chapter)Digital games provide a recognised means of engagement and education when addressing challenges in educating and immersing individuals in their own heritages, and those of other cultures. Similarly, gamification techniques, ... -
Socio-Ethical Implications of Using AI in Accelerating SDG3 in Least Developed Countries
(Article)Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a crucial role in advancing efforts towards sustainable development across the globe. AI has the potential to help address some of the biggest challenges that society faces including ... -
Redrawing the boundaries: The adequacy of the Sexual Offences Act in addressing female sexual offending
(Article)Discussion around sexual offending traditionally focuses on the notion of male offenders and female victims. In this paper we argue that there is clear evidence that females commit offences and that males are often the ... -
Long-term innovation outcomes of university-industry collaborations: the role of ‘bridging’ vs ‘blurring’ boundary spanning practices
(Article)We explore the link between the long-term innovation outcomes of university-industry collaborations (UICs) - in particular, whether the UIC has led to further exploitative or exploratory innovation - and the adoption of ... -
Examining the International Climate Change Denial Movement

Multi‐objective linear programming with interval coefficients
(Article)Purpose The purpose of this paper is to extend a methodology for solving multi‐objective linear programming (MOLP) problems, when the objective functions and constraints coefficients are stated as interval numbers. D ... -
A fuzzy data envelopment analysis approach based on parametric programming
(Article)In this paper, a fuzzy version of original data envelopment models, CCR and BCC, is extended and its solution approach is developed. The basic idea of the proposed method is to transform the original DEA model to an ... -
Leadership selection in an unlimited three-echelon supply chain
(Article)Supply chain (SC) management aims to increase the overall profit through improvement of various activities and components. Many contradictions between parts and different levels of a SC have been identified in order to ... -
DEA with common set of weights based on a multi objective fractional programming problem
(Article)Data envelopment analysis operates as a tool to appraise the relative efficiency of a set of homogenous decision making units. DEA allows each DMU to take its optimal weight in comparison to other DMUs while a similar ...
