Etiology of breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (Bia-alcl): Current directions in research
(Cancers, 2020)Breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) is a CD30-positive, anaplastic lymphoma kinase-negative T-cell lymphoma. Where implant history is known, all confirmed cases to date have occurred in ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
How does Lived Experience of Incarceration Impact Upon the Helping Process in Social Work Practice?: A Scoping Review
(The British Journal of Social Work, 2021)Whilst the value of lived experience in the helping process is recognised in a range of settings including mental health, disability and substance addiction, the understanding of therole of lived experience of incarceration ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Emotion Recognition by Textual Tweets Classification Using Voting Classifier(LR-SGD)
(IEEE Access, 2020)The proliferation of user-generated content on social media has made opinion mining an arduous job. As a microblogging platform, Twitter is being used to collect views about products, trends, and politics. Sentiment analysis ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Extracting adsorbate information from manometric uptake measurements of hydrogen at high pressure and ambient temperature
(Adsorption, 2021)To calculate a gas sorption isotherm from measurements made using the manometric (Sieverts) technique requires accurate knowledge of the sample cell void volume, the volume able to be occupied by the free gas. For many ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Diary of a Mental Health Peer Worker: Findings From a Diary Study Into the Role of Peer Work in a Clinical Mental Health Setting
(Frontiers in Psychiatry, 2020)Introduction: The importance of peer support workers in mental health care delivery has been extensively advocated for in mental health policy frameworks. However, there has been limited research examining the implementation ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Interactions Between Phytochemicals and Minerals in Terminalia ferdinandiana and Implications for Mineral Bioavailability
(Frontiers in Nutrition, 2020)Oxalic and phytic acid are phytochemicals considered to be anti-nutritional factors as they are predominantly found as oxalates and phytates bound to minerals like calcium and potassium. Studies have associated excessive ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
More than words: Using digital cues to enhance student perceptions of online assignment feedback
(Internet and Higher Education, 2021)Providing online written feedback for assignments permits the inclusion of digital cues (e.g., emoticons, profile pictures, and informal tone of language) which may improve student perceptions of both feedback and instructor. ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Unburdening the Weight of Stigma: Findings From a Compassion-Focused Group Program for Women With Overweight and Obesity
(Journal of Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2020)Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a 2-day intensive-format, Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT) based group program targeting weight stigma in women with overweight and obesity, and to conduct a pilot study to ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Accessibility and emotionality of online assessment feedback: Using emoticons to enhance student perceptions of marker competence and warmth
(Computers and Education, 2020)Assessment feedback is one of the most powerful learning tools, and in higher education this feedback is increasingly being provided online. The current study investigated the inclusion of emoticons as a method through ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
An efficient background estimation algorithm for embedded smart cameras
(2009 Third ACM/IEEE International Conference on Distributed Smart Cameras (ICDSC), 2009)Segmentation of foreground objects of interest from an image sequence is an important task in most smart cameras. Background subtraction is a popular and efficient technique used for segmentation. The method assumes that ...CONFERENCE OUTPUT -
Adaptive Patch-Based Background Modelling for Improved Foreground Object Segmentation and Tracking
(2010 7th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance (AVSS), 2010)A robust foreground object segmentation technique is proposed, capable of dealing with image sequences containing noise, illumination variations and dynamic backgrounds. The method employs contextual spatial information ...CONFERENCE OUTPUT -
Dynamic Amelioration of Resolution Mismatches for Local Feature Based Identity Inference
(2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), 2010)While existing face recognition systems based on local features are robust to issues such as misalignment, they can exhibit accuracy degradation when comparing images of differing resolutions. This is common in surveillance ...CONFERENCE OUTPUT -
Improved Shadow Removal for Robust Person Tracking in Surveillance Scenarios
(2010 20th International Conference on Pattern Recognition (ICPR), 2010)Shadow detection and removal is an important step employed after foreground detection, in order to improve the segmentation of objects for tracking. Methods reported in the literature typically have a significant trade-off ...CONFERENCE OUTPUT -
Relationship between road and railway noise annoyance and overall indoor sound exposure
(Transportation Research Part D: Transport and Environment, 2011)Using data from a realistic experiment conducted using recorded traffic sounds, the relationship between indicators of magnitude, spectrum, and temporal evolution of the sonic environment and the reported annoyance are ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Effects of natural sounds on the perception of road traffic noise
(Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011)Recent studies show that introducing sound from water features in urban open spaces may reduce the loudness of road traffic noise, but it is not clear in which situations this measure also improves overall soundscape ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
Speech recognition in noise with active and passive hearing protectors: A comparative study
(Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2011)The perceived negative influence of standard hearing protectors on communication is a common argument for not wearing them. Thus, augmented protectors have been developed to improve speech intelligibility. Nevertheless, ...JOURNAL ARTICLE -
What is English in the light of Lingua Franca usage?
(Ontologies of English: Conceptualising the Language for Learning, Teaching, and Assessment, 2019)The origin of the term ‘lingua franca’ is unclear. According to Ostler (2010, p. 7), lingua franca “seems to be a retranslation of some Eastern-Mediterranean term for ‘language of the Franks’”. Ostler also notes (2010, p. ...BOOK CHAPTER -
