Mindless Robots get Bullied
(ACM, 2018)Humans recognise and respond to robots as social agents, to such extent that they occasionally attempt to bully a robot. The current paper investigates whether aggressive behaviour directed towards robots is influenced ... -
Frankenplace: An Application for Similarity-Based Place Search
(2012)When experiencing or describing a new place people will often compare it against other places that they already know. However, this human attention to the simultaneous similarities and differences between places is not ... -
Building energy performance testing: future labs that support the development of innovative building envelopes and systems
(2013)This paper considers the functional requirements of building energy performance laboratories with advanced capability to test and develop innovative building envelopes and systems. The aim is to contribute to an ongoing ... -
Properties of magnesium based cements
(2017)Mixture of magnesium oxide with either silica fume or phosphate were prepared in this research. The workability, mechanical properties and the microstructure of the two magnesium based binder were examined. Compressive ... -
An Auto-regressive Model for an Arterial Continuous Glucose Monitoring Sensor
(2017)Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices have the potential to reduce nurse workload in the ICU while improving glycaemic control (GC). However, larger point accuracy errors that are inherent in these devices can lead ... -
Predicting the Effects of Changing PEEP Using a Basis Function Method
(2017)Current methods to optimise mechanical ventilation involve increasing positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) in steps to maximize recruitment. If PEEP is too high, overdistension and damage occur. There is thus an inherent ... -
Analysis of Neonatal Pulmonary Mechanics
(2017)Mechanical ventilation (MV) is widely used in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for patients suffering from respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). MV treatment is difficult due to intra-patient and inter-patient ... -
Virtual Trials of the NICE-SUGAR Protocol: The Impact on Performance of Protocol and Protocol Compliance
(2017)Hypoglycaemia, hyperglycaemia and blood glucose (BG) variability are associated with worsened outcomes in critical care. However, NICE-SUGAR trial showed no clinical benefit from intensive insulin therapy. This study ... -
A Framework for Visually Realistic Multi-robot Simulation in Natural Environment
(University of West Bohemia, 2017)This paper presents a generalized framework for the simulation of multiple robots and drones in highly realistic models of natural environments. The proposed simulation architecture uses the Unreal Engine4 for generating ... -
The Effect of Variable vs Fixed Feeding on Glycaemic Control in the Adult ICU: Virtual Trial Evaluation
(2017)Elevated blood glucose (BG) concentrations (Hyperglycaemia) is a common complication in the adult intensive care unit (ICU), and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. However, it has been shown that ... -
A Robust Algorithm for Automated HER2 Scoring in Breast Cancer Histology Slides Using Characteristic Curves
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2017)This paper presents a novel feature descriptor and classification algorithms for automated scoring of HER2 in Whole Slide Images (WSI). Since a large amount of processing is involved in analyzing WSI images, the ... -
Modelling, Speckle Simulation and Quality Evaluation of Synthetic Ultrasound Images
(Springer Verlag (Germany), 2017)Speckle noise reduction is an important area of research in the field of ultrasound image processing. Several algorithms for speckle noise characterization and analysis have been recently proposed in the area. Synthetic ... -
How should we interpret retrospective blood glucose measurements? Sampling and Interpolation
(2017): This study investigates blood glucose (BG) measurement interpolation techniques to represent intermediate BG dynamics, and the effect resampling of retrospective BG data has on key glycemic control (GC) performance ... -
Investigation of modelling methods for buildings with non-structural elements
(2017)The modelling of non-structural elements is becoming increasingly important. It has been found that during seismic events modern buildings can incur significant downtime due to the damage of contents, even when the building ... -
Electrocardiogram R-wave is an Unreliable Indicator of Pulse Wave Initialization
(2017)Pulse wave velocity (PWV) measurements are commonly used to evaluate a patient’s arterial stiffness, an indicator of cardiovascular dysfunction. PWV is usually calculated by measuring the pulse transit time (PTT) over a ... -
A Simple Method to Model a Continuous Glucose Monitoring Signal
(2017)Before continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can be safely used to guide glycaemic control (GC) protocols the impact of suboptimal accuracy resulting from error or delay in calibration measurement, sensor drift, and delayed ... -
Overview and analysis of digital technologies for construction safety management
(2017)Digital technologies are increasingly used to support safety management in the construction industry. Previous efforts were made to identify digital technologies for safety in the construction industry. However, ... -
Effect of eccentric moments on seismic ratcheting of single-degree-of-freedom structures
(2017)This study describes the background and provides validation of new provisions included in the 2016 amendment to NZS1170.5 to address ratcheting due to the presence of static eccentric moments. The validation was done by ... -
From Tutoring to Cognitive Rehabilitation: Exploiting CBM to Support Memory Training
(University of Canterbury, 2014)Constraint-Based Modeling (CBM) is an effective student modeling approach which has been used successfully in a wide range of instructional domains. Within the Intelligent Computer Tutoring Group (ICTG), we have developed ... -
Using Learning Analytics to Devise Interactive Personalised Nudges for Active Video Watching
(ACM, 2017)Videos can be a powerful medium for acquiring soft skills, where learning requires contextualisation in personal experience and ability to see different perspectives. However, to learn effectively while watching videos, ...
