‘I want to keep up with the younger generation’ - older adults and the web: a generational divide or generational collide? (2019)
Journal Article
Costa, C., Gilliland, G., & McWatt, J. (2019). ‘I want to keep up with the younger generation’ - older adults and the web: a generational divide or generational collide?. International Journal of Lifelong Education, 38(5), 566-578. https://doi.org/10.1080/02601370.2019.1678689

This paper considers the social significance of digital technologies in older adults’ lives by exploring the impact the web has on their lived experiences. The study of digital literacies and digital cultures is mostly focused on youth, thus paying l...

Young supertableaux and the large N = 4 superconformal algebra (2019)
Journal Article
Fearn, S. (2019). Young supertableaux and the large N = 4 superconformal algebra. Physica Scripta, 94(12), Article 125222. https://doi.org/10.1088/1402-4896/ab3b29

In this paper we consider representations of the ‘Large’ N = 4 superconformal algebra A in the Ramond sector as infinite-dimensional graded modules of its zero mode subalgebra, which we show to be the finite superalgebra su(2j2). We describe how repr... Read More about Young supertableaux and the large N = 4 superconformal algebra.

Maternal investment, life histories, and the evolution of brain structure in primates (2019)
Journal Article
Powell, L. E., Barton, R. A., & Street, S. E. (2019). Maternal investment, life histories, and the evolution of brain structure in primates. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 286(1911), Article 20191608. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2019.1608

Life history is a robust correlate of relative brain size: larger-brained mammals and birds have slower life histories and longer lifespans than smaller-brained species. The cognitive buffer hypothesis (CBH) proposes an adaptive explanation for this... Read More about Maternal investment, life histories, and the evolution of brain structure in primates.

Estranged students in higher education: navigating social and economic capitals (2019)
Journal Article
Costa, C., Taylor, Y., Goodfellow, C., & Ecochard, S. (2020). Estranged students in higher education: navigating social and economic capitals. Cambridge Journal of Education, 50(1), 107-123. https://doi.org/10.1080/0305764x.2019.1648639

Family is widely regarded as a cornerstone of student support. When family support exist as an essential form of social capital making, rupture of family ties places students in a disadvantageous position. This paper focuses on estranged students’ ac...

The effect of annealing conditions: temperature, time, ramping rate and atmosphere on nanocrystal Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film solar cell properties (2019)
Journal Article
Altowairqi, Y., Alsubaie, A., Stroh, K., Perez-Marin, I., Bowen, L., Szablewski, M., & Halliday, D. (2019). The effect of annealing conditions: temperature, time, ramping rate and atmosphere on nanocrystal Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film solar cell properties. Materials Today: Proceedings, 18(2), 473-486. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matpr.2019.06.234

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) nanoparticles were fabricated successfully using the hot injection method; CZTS films were deposited by spin coating of nanocrystal ink. The aim of this work is to study the effect of annealing parameters: temperature, time, ramping...

Using Variable Natural Environment Brain-Computer Interface Stimuli for Real-time Humanoid Robot Navigation (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aznan, N., Connolly, J., Al Moubayed, N., & Breckon, T. (2019, May). Using Variable Natural Environment Brain-Computer Interface Stimuli for Real-time Humanoid Robot Navigation. Presented at 2019 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation (ICRA), Montreal, Canada

This paper addresses the challenge of humanoid robot teleoperation in a natural indoor environment via a Brain-Computer Interface (BCI). We leverage deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based image and signal understanding to facilitate both real-...
