Jane Jacobs and the nature of (practice and research) work in public. (2009)
Presentation / Conference
DOUGLAS, A. and FREMANTLE, C. 2009. Jane Jacobs and the nature of (practice and research) work in public. Presented at Public and participative art: performance in everyday life, 14-15 December 2009, Helsinki, Finland.

Jacobs argues that economies follow the same rules as ecological systems. They behave in the same way as systems in nature: as dynamic systems of interdependency. The core of Jacobs' argument is energy, whether it is manifest in ecological systems or... Read More about Jane Jacobs and the nature of (practice and research) work in public..

From words to ambience: towards an architectural daylighting design based on users' perceptions and behaviours. (2009)
Presentation / Conference
BELAKEHAL, A., BENNADJI, A. and TABET AOUL, K. 2009. From words to ambience: towards an architectural daylighting design based on users' perceptions and behaviours. Presented at the 11th European lighting conference (LuxEuropa 2009), 9-11 September 2009, Istanbul, Turkey.

This paper presents an investigation aiming to demonstrate the possible move from words to ambience in order to achieve an architectural daylighting design. This latter is mainly based on the users’ perceptions and behaviours. It was assumed that the...

Context-sensitive requirements and risk analysis. (2009)
Presentation / Conference
FAILY, S. 2009. Context-sensitive requirements and risk analysis. Presented at the Doctoral symposium of the 17th IEEE international requirements engineering conference (RE2009), 1 September 2009, Atlanta, USA.

When a system's context of use changes, the security impact may be felt in other contexts. Risks mitigated for one operational context may continue to pose a danger in others due to contextual differences in assets, threats and vulnerabilities. The r...

Context-sensitive requirements and risk management with IRIS. (2009)
Presentation / Conference
FAILY, S. and FLÉCHAIS, I. 2009. Context-sensitive requirements and risk management with IRIS. Presented at the 17th IEEE international requirements engineering conference (RE2009), 31 August - 4 September 2009, Atlanta, USA.

Many systems are not designed for their contexts of operation. Subtle changes to context may lead to an increase in severity and likelihood of vulnerabilities and threats. The IRIS framework integrates the notion of context into requirements and risk... Read More about Context-sensitive requirements and risk management with IRIS..

Existing housing stock in the UK and the thermal insulation challenge: case of granite traditional constructions in the United Kingdom. (2009)
Presentation / Conference
BENNADJI, A., SCOTT, J. and TAYLOR, B. 2009. Existing housing stock in the UK and the thermal insulation challenge: case of granite traditional constructions in the United Kingdom. Presented at the 2009 Aberdeen Research Consortium (ARC) awareness day on environmental change, 12 May 2009, Aberdeen, UK.

The increase in energy price has sparked a debate in the UK as to what would be the best way to address this problem. Various political parties and civil societies are also concerned and various responses to the crisis are being suggested and debated...

Insulin-induced gene expression changes in breast cancer cells and normal breast epithelial cells. (2009)
Presentation / Conference
WEICHHAUS, M., BROOM, J., WAHLE, K., HEYS, S. and BERMANO, G. 2009. Insulin-induced gene expression changes in breast cancer cells and normal breast epithelial cells. Presented at 17th European congress on obesity 2009 (ECO 2009), 6-9 May 2009, Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Obesity increases breast cancer incidence rates in postmenopausal women. Chronic high levels of insulin, present in the majority of obese and insulin resistant patients, may provide the growth promoting stimulus to explain this connection. In this wo...
