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 ... -
Accelerated solvent based extraction and enrichment of selected plasticisers and 4-nonylphenol, and extraction of tin from organotin sources in sediments, sludges and leachate soils.
(Elsevier, 2009-02-23)Enrichment techniques have become an important feature in the trace analysis of oestrogen mimicking chemicals in the environment. Recent developments such as accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) have improved extraction ... -
Access control policy enforcement for zero-trust-networking.
(IEEE, 2018-06)The evolution of the enterprise computing landscape towards emerging trends such as fog/edge computing and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) are leading to a change of approach to securing computer networks to deal ... -
Activity profiles and the associations with weight status in population studies of young children: are there gender differences?
(Human Kinetics, 2017-02)Purpose: Profiling activity behaviors in young children is important to understand changes in weight status over time. The purpose of this study is to identify activity profiles from self- and parental-reported Physical ... -
activPAL™ determined sedentary behaviour, physical activity and academic achievement in college students.
(Taylor & Francis, 2018-03)The aim of this study was to examine relationships between activPALTM-determined sedentary behavior (SB) and physical activity (PA) with academic achievement. A total of 120 undergraduates (N=57 female; 20.6 ± 2.3 years) ... -
Adaptive comparative judgement: a mechanism to enrich and enhance assessment practices to support teaching and learning.
(2017)One of the most fundamental and challenging aspects of pedagogical practices is assessment of student learning. Assessment mechanisms are adopted in response to a variety of agendas, such as providing a summative ‘grade’ ... -
Adaptive perceptual block compressive sensing for compression.
(Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers, 2016-06)Because the perceptual compressive sensing framework can achieve a much better performance than the legacy compressive sensing framework, it is very promising for the compressive sensing based image compression system. In ... -
An adaptive policy approach to video quality assurance.
(IEEE, 2018-12)Video in all its forms is probably the most important service carried on networks today and few would argue that video quality assurance is one of the most daunting network management challenges. Quite often, video ... -
Additive manufacturing of personalized pharmaceutical dosage forms via stereolithography.
(MDPI, 2019-12-03)The introduction of three-dimensional printing (3DP) has created exciting possibilities for the fabrication of dosage forms, paving the way for personalized medicine. In this study, oral dosage forms of two drug ... -
Additive manufacturing of PLA/HNT nanocomposites for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2019)Additive manufacturing has been of great interest of research in various applications due to their ease in processability, cost effectiveness and adaptability. In this study Poly Lactic Acid (PLA) was used as the base ... -
Addressing challenges and opportunities of the European seafood sector under a circular economy framework.
(Elsevier, 2020-02)The European seafood and aquaculture sectors are facing important challenges in terms of environmental threats (climate change, marine debris, resources depletion), social development (worker rights, consumer's awareness) ... -
Advanced nurse practitioners’ (emergency) perceptions of their role, positionality and professional identity.
(2016)Nursing theorists have reviewed the contexts and continua into which advanced nursing practice roles in emergency care have evolved and developed, yet little empirical evidence has been gleaned directly from advanced ... -
Advanced therapies and the outer limits of DNA regulation: new horizons for patents or a scaffold too far?
(Oxford Academic, 2008-04)This Regulation seeks to regulate existing and future advanced therapy medicinal products intended for the market in Member States, being either prepared industrially or manufactured by a method involving an industrial ... -
Affective computing using speech and eye gaze: a review and bimodal system proposal for continuous affect prediction.
(2018)Speech has been a widely used modality in the field of affective computing. Recently however, there has been a growing interest in the use of multi-modal affective computing systems. These multi-modal systems incorporate ... -
Age and gender influences on perceived olfactory and visual media synchronization.
(IEEE, 2013)Lately, significant efforts have being put into proposing various solutions for increasing multimedia viewers’ perceived quality levels. One innovative avenue is to enhance users’ quality of experience (QoE) by extending ... -
