Volunteer ESOL teaching: Local pedagogy or teaching without a theory? (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Nickson, M. J. (2012). Volunteer ESOL teaching: Local pedagogy or teaching without a theory?. In K. Donnelly, & F. Formato (Eds.), Papers from the Lancaster University Postgraduate Conference in Linguistics & Language Teaching 2012, 105-140

In the UK, English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) is a domain of language learning and teaching where teaching strategy in mainstream, accredited provision is influenced not only by pedagogical and language learning theory but also by policy...

Comparing historical and current spectrum occupancy measurements in the context of cognitive radio (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Mehdawi, M., Riley, N., Ammar, M., & Zolfaghari, M. (2012). Comparing historical and current spectrum occupancy measurements in the context of cognitive radio. In 20th Telecommunications forum TELFOR 2012 (623-626). https://doi.org/10.1109/telfor.2012.6419287

Cognitive radio (CR) technology promises to be one possible solution to solve the problem of lack of frequency spectrum, by allowing access of unlicensed users in licensed bands, based on an opportunistic approach and without interfering with the lic...

Risk estimation of cardiovascular patients using Weka (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Bohacik, J., Davis, D., & Benedikovic, M. (2012). Risk estimation of cardiovascular patients using Weka.

Cardiovascular diseases remain the most prevalent cause of deaths worldwideand their prevention requires major life-style changes using limited health-care resources.Remote decision support for cardiovascular patients seems to allow them to lead a pr...

A comparative study of missing value imputation with multiclass classification for clinical heart failure data (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Zhang, Y., Kambhampati, C., Davis, D. N., Goode, K., & Cleland, J. G. F. (2012). A comparative study of missing value imputation with multiclass classification for clinical heart failure data. In Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD), 2012 9th International Conference on (2840-2844). https://doi.org/10.1109/fskd.2012.6233805

Clinical data often contains missing values. Imputation is one of the best known schemes to overcome the drawbacks associated with missing values in data mining tasks. In this work, we compared several imputation methods and analyzed their performanc...

HEXOSYS II - Towards realization of light mass robotics for the hand (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Iqbal, J., Ahmad, O., & Malik, A. (2012). HEXOSYS II - Towards realization of light mass robotics for the hand. In 2011 IEEE 14th International Multitopic Conference (INMIC) (115-119). https://doi.org/10.1109/INMIC.2011.6151454

This research presents a prototype of a direct-driven, optimized and light-mass hand exoskeleton that is designed to fit over the dorsal side of the hand, thus retaining palm free for interaction with real/virtual objects. The link lengths of the pro... Read More about HEXOSYS II - Towards realization of light mass robotics for the hand.
