Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tang, S. K., & Piippo, K. E. (2011). Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades. Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 12(1), https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3624578

Street canyons are common in modern cities. It is well known that the multiple sound reflections within the canyons tend to increase the noise levels inside the canyons. An scaled down model experiment was conducted in the present investigation to st... Read More about Sound fields inside street canyons with inclined flanking building façades.

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Uma Shankar, B., & Chakraborty, D. (2011). Spatiotemporal approach for tracking using rough entropy and frame subtraction. Lecture notes in computer science, 6744 LNCS, 193-199. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-21786-9_33

We present here an approach for video image segmentation where spatial segmentation is based on rough sets and granular computing and temporal segmentation is done by consecutive frame subtraction. Then the intersection of the temporal segmentation a... Read More about Spatiotemporal approach for tracking using rough entropy and frame subtraction.

Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Noble, R., & Bredeweg, B. Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support

This paper shows that naïve students will require coaching to overcome the difficulties they face in identifying the important concepts to be modeled, and understanding the causal meta-vocabulary needed for conceptual models. The results of this stud... Read More about Use of the dynalearn learning environment by naïve student modelers: Implications for automated support.

P15. Employing students' multilingualism and language diversity in teaching and learning (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hammond, A., Collins, S., Adam, J., & Pearce, J. (2011, May). P15. Employing students' multilingualism and language diversity in teaching and learning. Poster presented at 4th International Clinical Skills Conference: Showcasing Innovation and Evidenced Based Clinical Skills Education and Practice, Prato, Italy

Before our innovative clinical skills session ‘Interpreting in Consultations’, we conducted an annual survey of languages spoken by students on admission, in 2006, 2007 and 2008. From a response rate of 94% we noted that 28% of students are advance... Read More about P15. Employing students' multilingualism and language diversity in teaching and learning.

Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Barton, R. A., & Capellini, I. Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals

Brain size variation in mammals correlates with life histories: larger-brained species have longer gestations, mature later, and have increased lifespans. These patterns have been explained in terms of developmental costs (larger brains take longer t... Read More about Maternal investment, life histories, and the costs of brain growth in mammals.

An integrated pipeline to create and experience compelling scenarios in virtual reality (2011)
