Trust, privacy and relationships in 'pervasive education': Families' views on homework and technologies (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fraser, K., Rodden, T., & O'Malley, C. (2007, December). Trust, privacy and relationships in 'pervasive education': Families' views on homework and technologies. Presented at 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing, PERVASIVE 2007; Toronto; Canada

Extensive educational research discusses the potential for information and communication technologies in supporting homework, but most has focused on providing content. The research in this paper focuses instead on the issues around managing homework...

Choking under pressure: When an additional positive stereotype affects performance for domain identified male mathematics students (2007)
Journal Article
Rosenthal, H., & Crisp, R. (2007). Choking under pressure: When an additional positive stereotype affects performance for domain identified male mathematics students. European Journal of Psychology of Education, 22(3), 317-326. https://doi.org/10.1007/bf03173429

This research aimed to establish if the presentation of two positive stereotypes would result in choking under pressure for identified male mathematics students. Seventy-five 16 year old men, who had just commenced their AS-level study, were either m...

Brief and precarious lives: infant mortality in contrasting sites from medieval and post-medieval England (AD 850-1859) (2007)
Journal Article
Lewis, M., & Gowland, R. (2007). Brief and precarious lives: infant mortality in contrasting sites from medieval and post-medieval England (AD 850-1859). American journal of physical anthropology, 134(1), 117-129. https://doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.20643

This study compares the infant mortality profiles of 128 infants from two urban and two rural cemetery sites in medieval England. The aim of this paper is to assess the impact of urbanization and industrialization in terms of endogenous or exogenous...

Adsorption kinetics in binary surfactant mixtures studied with external reflection FTIR spectroscopy (2007)
Journal Article
Day, J., Campbell, R., Russell, O., & Bain, C. (2007). Adsorption kinetics in binary surfactant mixtures studied with external reflection FTIR spectroscopy. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 111(25), 8757-8774. https://doi.org/10.1021/jp067051o

The adsorption kinetics of mixtures of soluble surfactants at the air-water interface was studied on an overflowing cylinder. Vibrational spectra of the adsorbed monolayers were acquired by external reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy,...

Estimation of adult skeletal age-at-death: statistical assumptions and applications (2007)
Journal Article
Samworth, R., & Gowland, R. (2007). Estimation of adult skeletal age-at-death: statistical assumptions and applications. International Journal of Osteoarchaeology, 17(2), 174-188. https://doi.org/10.1002/oa.867

We examine the statistical assumptions underlying different techniques of estimating the age-at-death of a skeleton from one or more age indicators. The preferred method depends on which property of the distribution of the data in the reference sampl...
