A macroalgae (seaweed) herbarium nitrogen isotope (δ15N) record is produced for the River Mersey and Liverpool South Docks (England) between 1821 and 2018. A modern macroalgae δ15N record was also produced from September 2022. The herbaria δ15N recor...

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.
