Analysing Learner Behaviour in an Ontology-Based E-learning System: A Graph Neural Network Approach (2024)
Journal Article
Wynn, A., Wang, J., Sun, Z., & Shimada, A. (in press). Analysing Learner Behaviour in an Ontology-Based E-learning System: A Graph Neural Network Approach. 00 Journal not listed,

Despite the prevalence of e-learning systems, there is a lack of support for learners to identify and compare new knowledge with existing cognitive structures. Therefore, an ontology-based visualization support system was previously introduced which...

Exploring atmospheric optical turbulence: observations across zenith angles (2024)
Journal Article
Beesley, L. F., Osborn, J., Wilson, R., Farley, O. J. D., Griffiths, R., & Love, G. D. (2024). Exploring atmospheric optical turbulence: observations across zenith angles. Applied Optics, 63(16), E48. https://doi.org/10.1364/ao.519063

We present measurements of the atmospheric optical turbulence as a function of zenith angle using two identical instruments, Shack-Hartmann Image Motion Monitors (SHIMMs), to measure atmospheric parameters concurrently. One instrument was pointed nea... Read More about Exploring atmospheric optical turbulence: observations across zenith angles.

A Multi-Modal Distributed Real-Time IoT System for Urban Traffic Control (2024)
Conference Proceeding
Khanam, Z., Achari, V., Boukhennoufa, I., Jindal, A., & Singh, A. K. (2024). A Multi-Modal Distributed Real-Time IoT System for Urban Traffic Control. . https://doi.org/10.4230/OASIcs.NG-RES.2024.2

Traffic congestion is one of the growing urban problem with associated problems like fuel wastage, loss of lives, and slow productivity. The existing traffic system uses programming logic control (PLC) with round-robin scheduling algorithm. Recent wo...
