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...

Cultures of labour: aspiration, developmental futures and the materiality of memory after Chinese economic reform (2024)
Journal Article
Berlin, S. (2024). Cultures of labour: aspiration, developmental futures and the materiality of memory after Chinese economic reform. Social and Cultural Geography, https://doi.org/10.1080/14649365.2024.2342833

This article argues for attention to the affective investments that motivate working people’s life choices in contemporary China by tracing the materiality of the development of aspirations in a rapidly developing context. Turning to the work of Bern... Read More about Cultures of labour: aspiration, developmental futures and the materiality of memory after Chinese economic reform.

Ladder Decomposition for Morphisms of Persistence Modules (2024)
Journal Article
Giansiracusa, J., & Urbancic, Z. (in press). Ladder Decomposition for Morphisms of Persistence Modules. Journal of Applied and Computational Topology,

The output of persistent homology is an algebraic object called a persistence module. This object admits a decomposition into a direct sum of interval persistence modules described entirely by the barcode invariant. In this paper we investigate when...
