Electromagnetic Nanoparticles for Sensing and Medical Diagnostic Applications

Journal Article
La Spada, L., & Vegni, L. (2018)
Electromagnetic Nanoparticles for Sensing and Medical Diagnostic Applications. Materials, 11(4), 603. https://doi.org/10.3390/ma11040603
A modeling and design approach is proposed for nanoparticle-based electromagnetic devices. First, the structure properties were analytically studied using Maxwell’s equations....

The second virial coefficient, B 2 is computed of linear rigid rods composed of m equally spaced sites interacting with sites on other rods via the hard-sphere or Weeks-Cha...

Mapping workplace soundscapes: Reifying Office Auditory Environments

Conference Proceeding
McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & LePlâtre, G. (2006)
Mapping workplace soundscapes: Reifying Office Auditory Environments. In World Forum on Acoustic Ecology Conference (334-344
This paper reports an empirical study to investigate how individuals perceive and classify elements of their workplace auditory environments. The participants were 18 universi...

Harmonic errors associated with the use of choppers in optical experiments.

Journal Article
Benjamin, K., Armitage, A. & South, R. B. (2006)
Harmonic errors associated with the use of choppers in optical experiments. Measurement : journal of the International Measurement Confederation. 39, 764-770. doi:10.1016/j.measurement.2006.02.008. ISSN 0263-2241
Rotating chopper wheels are used to modulate optical radiation in many experimental systems, typically for measuring the frequency response of an optical system. The assumptio...

Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance

Conference Proceeding
McGregor, I., LePlâtre, G., Crerar, A., & Benyon, D. (2006)
Sound and soundscape classification: Establishing key auditory dimensions and their relative importance
This paper investigates soundscape classification by using two different forms of data gathering and two different populations. The first method involves a questionnaire compl...

How to tackle auditory interface aesthetics? Discussion and case study

Conference Proceeding
LePlâtre, G., & McGregor, I. (2004)
How to tackle auditory interface aesthetics? Discussion and case study. In Proceedings of ICAD 04-Tenth Meeting of the International Conference on Auditory Display, Sydney, Australia, July 6-9, 2004
This paper discusses the importance of auditory interface aesthetics and presents an empirical investigation of sound aesthetics in context. The theoretical discussion examine...

Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective

Conference Proceeding
Turner, P., & McGregor, I. (2004)
Telling people about virtual places: A qualitative perspective
This paper presents an investigation into how sound can be used to create a sense of place (that is, the sense of being in that particular place). In the study, people were as...

Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place

Conference Proceeding
Turner, P., McGregor, I., Turner, S., & Carroll, F. (2003)
Evaluating soundscapes as a means of creating a sense of place
We report an empirical study into the creation of, and response to, a soundscape of a computer centre. We contrast the use of presence questionnaires, as means of assessing th...

Soundfields and soundscapes: reifying auditory communities

Conference Proceeding
McGregor, I., Crerar, A., Benyon, D., & Macaulay, C. (2002)
Soundfields and soundscapes: reifying auditory communities. In Proceedings of the 2002 International Conference on Auditory Display, Kyoto, Japan, July 2-5, 2002 (290-294
This paper reports progress towards mapping workplace soundscapes. In order to design auditory interfaces that integrate effectively with workplace environments, we need a det...

Prediction of electric fields from conductors on a PCB by 3D finite-difference time-domain method.

Journal Article
Buchanan, W. J., & Gupta, N. K. (1995)
Prediction of electric fields from conductors on a PCB by 3D finite-difference time-domain method. Engineering Science and Education Journal, 4, 177-182. https://doi.org/10.1049/esej%3A19950410
The finite-difference time-domain method gives accurate results for the calculation of electromagnetic wave propagation and hence can be used in a number of university final-y...
