▼ The ability to impart topspin to the ball when playing forehand and backhand groundstrokes can give a tennis player a tactical advantage in a rally. Recent developments in racket technology and tactical approaches to the game have increased the prevalence of topspin strokes. However, there is a limited scientific knowledge base for players and coaches to draw upon when seeking to improve this aspect of the game. Many of the kinematic analyses into tennis groundstrokes were conducted more than ten years ago, with measurement techniques that may not have accurately measured the anatomical rotations important for generating racket velocity. It has only recently been possible to measure the spin rate of a ball, and this has not been investigated in relation to the kinematics of a player. This study aimed to make an important contribution to the knowledge of tennis professionals by establishing which kinematic variables are related to the production of high ball spin rates resulting from topspin strokes. In order to achieve this aim, consideration was given to the accurate measurement of the joint rotations of the player in all planes of movement and the quantification of the ball spin rate. This information was used to answer three further questions; what are the kinematic differences between flat and topspin groundstrokes, how do these differences relate to the spin rate of the ball and how do these findings relate to individual players? Joint rotations were calculated based on three-dimensional data captured from twenty participants playing flat and topspin forehand and backhand strokes. The resulting ball spin rate was captured using a high-speed camera. The participants produced larger ball spin rates when playing the topspin strokes, indicating that they were able to produce spin if required. Analysis of the joint rotations revealed that there were adaptations in the stroke in order to achieve the higher spin rates. The adaptations were not uniform among participants, but did produce similar alterations in racket trajectory, inclination and velocity for the topspin strokes. It was these measures that were found to be the strongest predictors of ball spin rates, accounting for over 60 % of the variation in ball spin rate in the forehand stroke and over 70% in the backhand. Case study analyses confirmed the importance of the optimal racket kinematics at impact and provided models of technique throughout the forward swing of each stroke. This study has made a contribution to the knowledge of generating topspin in the tennis groundstrokes by establishing the parameters that predict high spin rates and applying them to analyses of individual players. In doing so, this investigation has also demonstrated methodology that is capable of accurately measuring the joint rotations associated with tennis strokes, and suggested a method by which the spin rate of the ball can be calculated.

▼ This project is focusing on creating a chatbot to be used by students to get their queries responded easily from the college website. The College Enquiry Chatbot has the capacity to make friendly conversations; respond the course and faculty details; give the link for the academic calendar; answer the frequently asked questions; calculate the fees based on the student's input; and give the timings, address, contacts, and events information of the departments like Union, Library, IPGE, and AIRC. To build the chatbot, Microsoft Azure bot service as well as Microsoft cognitive services, namely, Text Analytics, LUIS, and QnA Maker are used.
Most of the existing chatbots lack empathy and fail to accommodate anything outside of the script. In order to address these problems, the College Enquiry Chatbot extends the implementation of the current chatbots by adding sentiment analysis and active learning. Although, sentimental analysis correctly recognizes the user's query as positive, negative and neutral, the system was partially successful in adding empathy to the chatbot. It is because the system requires more rigorous training data to handle all queries which are off-script. However, for such queries, active learning helps to improve the chatbot performance since it correctly understands the user's questions, asks clarifying question, and then retrains the system to give the response what the user intends to get.
The future work include training the chatbot with more varied data; increasing the scope of the chatbot by adding a speech recognition feature so that users can speak to get responses; and including integration with multiple channels such as phone call, SMS, and various social media platforms.

▼ Since the mid-1980s, authorship has become an increasingly prominent component in the promotional, extratextual and critical discourse surrounding independent and indie film. During the same period, independent and indie film has become more lucrative and increasingly drawn attention and investment from Hollywood studios and other vertically and/or horizontally integrated media institutions seeking to further expand their businesses. In a context of sectoral media convergence, therefore, the thesis explores the management of indie-auteurism, defined as a discursive construct conveying authenticity, autonomy, artistry, natural talent, innovation and quality attached to authorial figures associated loosely with American independent or indie film. It explores especially the role played by producers and talent managers, two types of talent intermediaries, in constructing and managing indie-auteurism, the industrial and economic functions it serves, as well as its cultural repercussions. The thesis begins by analysing the Coen brothers' collaboration with various producers to explore the construction and management of indie-auteurism across three periods of contemporary independent film outlined by Yannis Tzioumakis (2013): independent, indie and indiewood. The thesis goes on to expand this periodization, however, by exploring the strategies and operations of two highly diversified talent management and media production companies, Propaganda Films and Anonymous Content, in using indie-auteurism to sell and/or market their film, television, music video and commercial spot projects and productions. In doing so, the thesis helps to develop understandings of independent and indie film in two interrelated ways. First, it sheds light on the role that producers and talent managers, figures who have been under researched in the study of independent film (and in media studies generally), have played in constructing and disseminating indie-auteurism and in shaping independent and indie film. Second, it expands the history of independent and indie film by tracing talent management strategies across media and reconfiguring indie-auteurism within an era of media convergence.

▼ Mixtures of the two minerals huntite and hydromagnesite have been successfully used as a fire retardant additive in polymers for many years. The onset of decomposition of hydromagnesite is at a higher temperature than that of aluminium hydroxide but lower than that of magnesium hydroxide, the two most commonly used mineral fire retardants. This makes it an ideal addition to the range of materials available to polymer compounders for improving fire retardant properties. In comparison to the better known mineral fire retardants there has been little published research on the fire retardant properties of huntite and hydromagnesite. What has been published has often been commercially orientated and the limited quantity of scientific literature does not fully explain the fire retardant mechanism of these blends of minerals, often dismissing huntite as having no useful fire retardant action other than diluting the solid phase fuel. Standard thermal analysis techniques (thermal gravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, Fourier transform infra-red analysis) have been used to characterise the thermal decomposition of huntite and hydromagnesite from a source in Turkey. This has lead to an understanding of the decomposition mechanism of the minerals in terms of mass loss, enthalpy of decomposition, and evolved gases between room temperature and 1000°C. Hydromagnesite endothermically decomposes between about 220°C and 500°C, initially releasing water followed by carbon dioxide. The rate of heating and partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can influence the mechanism of carbon dioxide release. Huntite endothermically decomposes between about 450°C and 800°C releasing carbon dioxide in two stages. The use of the cone calorimeter to study the rate of heat release during combustion of ethylene vinyl acetate based polymer compounds has lead to an understanding of how both huntite and hydromagnesite affect the burning processes at different stages of the fire. By varying the ratio of the two minerals, hydromagnesite has been shown to increase the time to ignition and reduce the initial peak in rate of heat release, while huntite has been shown to reduce the rate of heat release later in the fire. It has been shown that huntite is far from being an inactive diluent filler. The endothermic decomposition of huntite in the later stages of the fire reduces the heat reaching underlying polymer and continues to dilute the flame with inert carbon dioxide. The platy huntite particles have been shown to align themselves in such a way that they can hinder the escape of volatiles from the decomposing polymer and also physically reinforce the inorganic ash residue.

▼ Dysphagia, a common clinical corollary following stroke, may contribute to aspiration pneumonia, malnutrition, and dehydration which may significantly impair patient rehabilitation. Survey Aim: Establish current clinical practice regarding nurse dysphagia screening. Method: A cross-sectional regional postal survey was undertaken with 60 nurses and 45 Speech and Language Therapists. Results: Nurses were taught to use water swallow screening tools but, in reality, used a variety of testing materials. Conclusion: This demonstrated the need for a clinically useful bedside swallow screening tool. Pilot Study Aim: Develop and evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a new BEdside Swallow Screening Tool (BESST), for use by nurses with acute stroke patients. Method: A literature search was undertaken to inform the BESST. Face validity was established using an iterative process of semi-structured interviews with eight specialist SLTs and eight nurses. The tool was piloted on 12 purposefully selected stroke patients by comparing the management options chosen by two nurses using the BESST with those of the Specialist SLT using their bedside assessment (gold standard). Results: The BESST demonstrated excellent sensitivity (100%) but specificity demonstrated by both nurses was poor (< 45% for both). Conclusion: A larger validation study of a modified BEEST would be appropriate. Main Study Aim: Establish the diagnostic accuracy and utility of the BESST. Method: Ratings by nurses using the BESST were compared with experienced SLT bedside assessment in 124 consecutively admitted stroke patients. Results: The BESST demonstrated good agreement between nurses (81%) and within nurses (87% nurse 1, 86% nurse 2), 93% sensitivity, 82% specificity; 71% positive iii predictive value, 95% negative predictive value; and overall efficiency was 84%. The BESST dictated the same management as the SLT in 75% of cases, and safely allowed 92% of patients modified oral intake when compared to the water swallow screening tool. Conclusion: The BESST has potential use in clinical practice, but further research is needed.

▼ Healthcare providers throughout the world are facing unprecedented change. In rising to social, demographic and economic pressures, the National Health Service is mobilising hospital treatments into patient’s homes (Darzi, 2006). The black nursing bag, the universal transportation tool of the district nurse has remained impervious to design change for over 100 years. The goal of the PhD is to equip newly formed neighbourhood care teams working in this emergent healthcare setting with a 21st century nursing bag. The design practice seeks to optimise the efficient delivery of patient care, standardize patient experiences in an inconsistent setting and enhances patient safety performances through design. The PhD by practice is sponsored by the Engineering Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and supported by NHS East Riding of Yorkshire (NHS ERY). The PhD is participatory and proposes a refined theoretical model to achieve its objectives: a strategy- system- experience- product continuum. Qualitative and quantitative methods have: identified variance in the nursing bags used in practice; captured the presence of MRSA inside and on bags; applied Lego Serious Play to envision aspirational products; analogous case studies determining the discrete attributes of world-class services delivered in confined spaces and luxury travel products; captured workflow using link analysis of simulated treatments; determined the efficacy of hand-cleaning techniques; evaluated of design forms using UV analysis to enhance the effectiveness hand-cleaning; heuristic evaluations informing design decisions: stakeholder presentations, international design competitions and industry opinion. Analytical, creative and experimental collaborative practices have contributed to the co-creation of a world-class nursing bag fit for the challenges of the 21st century. Validation workshops have verified that the new bag reshapes the way home healthcare is delivered, experienced and accepted: increases clinical efficiency through modularity, standardises the patient’s service experience and delivers economic benefits to the commissioners of home healthcare services.

▼ The software effort and cost estimation is
essential to provide key information about project planning and
control. An accuracy of estimates is one of the most important
factors for projectsand#8223; success. In the research literature,
number of estimation models, methods, techniques and tools have
been proposed. However, their accuracy of estimates can be
challenged for complex real world projects. This thesis
systematically reviews different software effort estimation model,
methods, technologies and tools. Theoretical analysis and empirical
experiments show that the persistent problems in software effort
estimation is not only technical one, but also fundamental
theoretical, where new theories and mathematical models still need
to be sought such as what dominates development effort in a large
group ? How labor is traded with time in a project ? What is the
optimal organization form of a large software project ?. The survey
has been conducted, where software project managers were asked to
respond to the questionnaire. This survey has provided important
input to understand pain areas and decide research focus. This
thesis also presents comparative analysis of various estimation
models and underlying AI techniques and technologies. The
assumption is made that software project life cycle is divided in
early stage, intermediate stage and final stage. At early stage,
Request for Proposal and Software Requirement Specification
documents are available. Similar project identification technique
is presented which involved LSA and ontology for finding
semantically similar documents. The AI model has been proposed to
mimic human expert estimator, who applies the experience and
estimates by referring textual information of project requirements.
During Intermediate stage, requirements are clear as well as
analysis and design models are available. COCOMO II in combination
with AI technologies such as neural networks, fuzzy logic and
neuro-fuzzy inferencing system are evaluated.

▼ Dolgozatom témája a mesterséges intelligencia a munkajogban. A legelején, elsőként szeretném megindokolni magát a témaválasztást. Semmiképpen nem akarok abba a hibába esni, hogy rögtön a viszontkérdéssel élek, miszerint: „Miért ne írnék a mesterséges intelligenciáról, hiszen minden erről szól manapság?”. Ez feltételezhetően egy eltúlzott állítás, de gyakran éri az embert ez az érzéki csalódás, ha egy témával elkezd foglalkozni. Ezt a hatást kétségtelenül fokozhatja, hogy a kapitalista gazdaságban a technológiai újítások és a velük kapcsolatos elvárások, illetve várakozások fokozása elemi érdeke azoknak, akik az ilyen technológiák fejlesztésébe és gyártásába jelentős összegeket fektettek.
Ugyanakkor látni kell, hogy a „mesterséges intelligencia” a „Big Data” meglehetősen elterjedt kifejezésekké váltak világunkban, mostanság. Olyan ipari termékek esetében, amelyeknél a vevők szeretik, ha az a high-tech-et képviseli, már igen gyakran használják a fenti kifejezéseket a reklámokban. Ezekre termékekre említhetők példaként a személy és teher gépjárművek, okos telefonok, televíziók. A gyártók elmondása, illetve reklám állításai szerint ezeket mesterséges intelligencia vezérli, vagy legalábbis segíti a komfortosabb, élvezetesebb használatukat. A YouTube-on található területen TED és TEDx előadások közül nagyon soknak témája a mesterséges intelligencia jelenlegi állapota és jövendőbeli kifutása. Szintén ezen a videó megosztó oldalon található például a Boston Dynamics nevű robotikával foglalkozó vállalatnak a rendkívül látványos bemutató videói , amelyekben a különböző önjáró, illetve önálló mozgásra alkalmas robotok “mutatványai” láthatóak. Magánbeszélgetéseim alapján állíthatom, hogy a legtöbb embernek vannak a témárol gondolatai, percepciói.
A fentiekkel azért példálóztam ilyen hosszasan, hogy rávilágítsak arra, hogy ami korábban leginkább a sci-fi írók termékeny fantáziájában jelent meg, az úgy tűnik, hogy egyre inkább elterjedni látszik a hétköznapokban, és nem idegen gondolat az átlagember számára sem. Más oldalról megközelítve úgy is meg tudnám fogalmazni ezt a kérdést, hogy amit a sci-fi írók korábban elképzeltek, az részint megvalósult, csak egy kicsit más formában. Nem mulattató módon, két lábon döcögő botmixer kezű robotok forgolódnak a konyhánkban helyettünk elvégezve a kétkezi munkát, hanem például a Google Translate alkalmazás mögött rejlő algoritmus segít a mondat tartalmát értelmezve életszerűbbé tenni a lefordítandó szöveget. Az interneten futó algoritmusok a böngészési előzményeknek megfelelően automatizáltan szelektálják a felhasználó számára a reklámokat. A mobiltelefonokba beépített fényképezőgépek működését segítő algoritmusok megtalálják és felismerik a képen az emberi arcokat és ennek megfelelően fókuszálják a készítendő képet. Gyors léptekkel fejlődik a korlátozott mesterséges intelligencia, illetve algoritmusok által segített önvezető autóknak fejlesztése. Mindezt megkoronázandó a küszöbön álló 5G technológia olyan széles internetes kommunikációs lehetőséget biztosít az arra…

▼ A human infant facing the blooming, buzzing confusion of the senses grows up to be an adult with common-sense knowledge of geometry; this knowledge then allows her to describe the shapes of objects, the layouts of places, and the relative locations of things naturally and effortlessly. In robotics, such knowledge is usually built in by a human designer who needs to solve complex engineering problems of sensor calibration and inference. In contrast, this dissertation presents a model for how autonomous agents can form an understanding of geometry the same way infants do: by learning from early unstructured sensorimotor experience.
Through a framework called sensorimotor embedding, an agent reconstructs knowledge of its own sensor structure, the local geometry of the world, and the pose of objects within the world. The validity of this knowledge is demonstrated directly through Procrustes analysis and indirectly by using it to solve the mountain car task with different morphologies. The dissertation demonstrates how sensorimotor embedding can serve as a robust approach for acquiring geometric knowledge.

▼ Inter-human interaction is a rich form of communication. Human interactions typically leverage a good theory of mind, involve pragmatics, story-telling, humor, sarcasm, empathy, sympathy, etc. Recently, we have seen a tremendous increase in the frequency and the modalities through which humans interact with
AI. Despite this, current human-
AI interactions lack many of these features that characterize inter-human interactions. Towards the goal of developing
AI that can interact with humans naturally (similar to other humans), I take a two-pronged approach that involves investigating the ways in which both the
AI and the human can adapt to each other's characteristics and capabilities. In my research, I study aspects of human interactions, such as humor, story-telling, and the humans' abilities to understand and collaborate with an
AI. Specifically, in the vision and language modalities,
1. In an effort to improve the
AI's capabilities to adapt its interactions to a human, we build computational models for (i) humor manifested in static images, (ii) contextual, multi-modal humor, and (iii) temporal understanding of the elements of a story.
2. In an effort to improve the capabilities of a collaborative human-
AI team, we study (i) a lay person's predictions regarding the behavior of an
AI in a situation, (ii) the extent to which interpretable explanations from an
AI can improve performance of a human-
AI team.
Through this work, I demonstrate that aspects of human interactions (such as certain forms of humor and story-telling) can be modeled with reasonable success using computational models that utilize neural networks. On the other hand, I also show that a lay person can successfully predict the outputs and failures of a deep neural network. Finally, I present evidence that suggests that a lay person who has access to interpretable explanations from the model, can collaborate more effectively with a neural network on a goal-driven task.

▼ NEAT är en neuroevolutionsteknik som kan användas för att träna upp AI-kontrollerade robotar utan att behöva tillföra någon mänsklig expertis eller tidigare kunskap till systemet. Detta arbete undersöker hur väl denna teknik fungerar tillsammans med samevolution för att utveckla robotar i en tävlingsmiljö, med fokus på att testa tekniken på flera olika nivåer med varierande mängd komplexitet i form av väggar och hinder. Tekniken utvärderas genom att låta robotarna tävla mot varandra, deras kompetens mäts sedan från resultaten av dessa tävlingar. Exempelvis deras förmåga att vinna matcher. Resultaten visar att tekniken fungerade bra på nivån med låg komplexitet, men att robotarna har vissa svårigheter att lära sig kompetenta strategier på nivåerna med högre komplexitet. Tekniken har dock potential för flera olika varianter och förbättringar som potentiellt kan förbättra resultatet även på de mer komplexa nivåerna.

▼ Medhjälpar-AI blir allt mer vanligt i dagens spel och främst används de som substitut till en mänsklig spelare i spel med olika typer av samarbetslägen. Det finns med andra ord ett behov att utforska detta område, både när det gäller olika AI-tekniker och metoder för förbättring av hur medhjälpar-AI:n upplevs. Genetiska algoritmer är en AI-teknik som simulerar evolution, vilket är användbart i flera områden. Det här arbetet undersöker om genetiska algoritmer kan fungera som basis till en medhjälpar-AI som anpassar sig efter spelarens prestation i realtid.
Experimentmiljön som används är ett enkelt actionspel, där en spelare tillsammans med medhjälpare ska samla poäng. Beroende på en medhjälpares poäng i förhållande till spelaren, ändrar medhjälparen skicklighetsnivå dynamiskt under spelets gång.
Utvärderingen visar att genetiska algoritmer fungerar bra som utgångspunkt till ändamålet. Med andra ord visar arbetet att genetiska algoritmer har god potential att fungera bra som grundstruktur för mer avancerad medhjälpar-AI.

▼ A vast number of game developers long for and seek to create games that impact and emotionally engages their players. However, it has proven to be a tough challenge to overcome, as a lot of narrative games today completely separate their emotional stories from their engaging gameplay. Extending this insight, this paper proposes the theoretical basis intendedto contribute to the understanding of how to create expressive AI agents, by answering the following question: How can developers tell stories through an AI agent's behaviour? A further key element in this paper is the creation of a conceptual framework, based on a literature study, exemplifying how AI agents can be designed to contribute and support the narrative in a game. The framework suggests that creating these types of AI agents is an iterative process of defining the core themes within a game, deriving an agent's purpose from these and building its behaviours from that purpose. Also, defining how to communicate these behaviours to the player. The framework also emphasizes the importance of user testing during the design process, as a way of evaluating the balance of transparency and emergence within the AI system of the game. The framework is exemplified with a case study conducted on an AI agent, designed and developed for the game Shelter 2: Paws by game studio Might and Delight. The results of the study shows that AI agent has a close connection to the narrative through the main themes of friendship, cooperation and growing up in the game. Finally, the AI agent design is evaluated through user tests, which shows that players interact with the agent as expected and share the game experience that is intended by the developers.

▼ In 2017, the world economic forum announced that
AI would increase the global economy by USD 16 trillion by 2030 (World Economic Forum, 2017). Yet, at the same time, some of the world’s most influential leaders warned us about the danger of
AI. Is
AI good or bad? Of utmost importance, is
AI an existential threat to humanity? This thesis examines the latter question by breaking it down into three sub-questions, is the danger real?, is the defence adequate?, and how a doomsday scenario could happen?, and critically reviewing the literature in search for an answer. If true, and sadly it is, I conclude that
AI is an existential threat to humanity. The arguments are as follows. The current rapid developments of robots, the success of machine learning, and the emergence of highly profitable
AI companies will guarantee the rise of the machines among us. Sadly, among them are machines that are destructive, and the danger becomes real. A review of current ideas preventing such a doomsday event is, however, shown to be inadequate and a futuristic look at how doomsday could emerge is, unfortunately, promising!

▼ Multilayer paint is a significant fire hazard particularly concerning rapid spread of flame,smoke and toxic species production. Fire protective coatings are often employed to protect this unpredictably flammable substrate from ignition (for example resulting from arson attacks in the communal areas of multi- occupancy buildings). Literature shows a gap in the understanding of this problem,a lack of suitable flammability tests,and methods for screening new fire protective coatings required to address this problem. This work investigates the factors affecting coating performance and develops screening test methods to estimate protection performance in standard fire tests. The dependence of these tests has been investigated with regard to substrate, coating thickness,composition of coating, thermal conductivity and rheological properties, to inform the development of modified coating formulations with enhanced fire safety.Coating materials have been investigated using thermogravimetric ana lysis (TGA) in both air and inert atmospheres and their burning behaviour using the cone calorimeter (ISO 5660). Novel screening test methods also include a test adapted from BS EN 367 for measurement of thermal conductivity, a thermocouple embedded in cone samples to assess the temperature profile at the substrate-coating interface and BS 476: Part 6 (adapted) as a scaled down version of the standard fire test. The chemical changes occurring during burning of current coatings formulations were investigated using CHN analysis, pyrolysis gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (pyGC-MS),inductively coupled plasma coupled with mass spectrometry (ICP-MS),diamond attenuated total reflectance coupled with fourier transform infra-red (dATR-FTIR),nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR} and scanning electron microscopy coupled with electron dispersive X-ray analysis (SEM-EDAX} to inform the development of novel formulations. Generally,intumescent formulations tend to exhibit lower fire propagation indexes when assessed in the BS 476: Part 6,longer time to ignition and lower peak heat release rates in the cone calorimeter, as well as reduced thermal conductivity recorded in the BS EN 367. Results report mixed performance,suggesting that it is not only char residue formation that ensures a pass in the standard fire tests. Rheological properties of the coatings are crucial to performance,with softening temperature and reduction in viscosity coinciding with gas release of the fire retardant additive. Each screening test method assesses one particular aspect of flammability, they are dependent on the controlled conditions under which results are collected,and the limited correlation observed with the performance in the standard fire tests, do not conclusively predict performance in a real fire situation.

▼ This thesis presents a narrative that connects discussion of a number of my papers submitted for consideration of the award of PhD by published work with reflections on methods and theory within a critical sociological context. This analysis of my publications is extended by a critical engagement with communicative action theory to consider its relevance for thinking about service user involvement activity in university settings. The thesis explores methodological and theoretical ideas by first narrating the thematic consistency of the portfolio of published work presented for consideration and, second, considering analytic connections with wider critical social theory and emancipatory goals. In part this is accomplished by exploring a scholarly interest in the subjective: tracing in my own papers a development of thought from an affinity for critical post-structuralist concepts of a de-centred subject, as illustrated in my use of Q-methodology as a particular means of accessing forms of subjective expression, through to a current interest in forms of critical social theory, aligned to the Frankfurt School. Despite some acknowledged philosophical tensions, it is argued that there is a consistency of theoretical exposition whereby a line of reasoning via Habermas’s theory of communicative action, focuses on a radical subjectivity which is not antithetical to the aforementioned post-structural accounts. A contribution to original knowledge is demonstrated with respect to theorising social constructions of difference and identity in a mental health context and critical analyses and commentary on the mental health service user/survivor movement. Themes of radicalism and emancipation in research methods and praxis, and their critique, connect with a concluding focus on academic alliances with user movement activists including an analytic reflection on the university as a particular social space which may be amenable to forging effective solidarity.

▼ Cluster is not a new phenomenon, having existed in different forms for a long time. Although a large amount of work has been dedicated to cluster research (Marshall, 1920; Krugman, 1995; Schmitz 1997; Porter, 1998; Wilson and Popp, 2003), there is still a lack of convincing explanations as to how and why clusters are created. Reviewing the different definitions of ‘cluster’ from previous studies, produces the interesting finding that most of the cluster definitions neglect one key element – the ‘actor’ – that is, the individuals who are involved in the process of founding new businesses that give rise to cluster formation. Recognising the values and shortcomings of the extant studies on clusters, this thesis aims to establish a conceptual framework and attempt to advance the understanding of the cluster formation process from an alternative view. The purpose is to answer the research questions of how and why cluster are formed, how different actors interact with key institutional factors relevant to cluster creation and how these actors themselves make sense of the cluster creation process, particularly in the Chinese context. This research employs a qualitative approach comprising semi-structured in-depth interviews, which seek to uncover the depth and richness of the living experiences of different actors with the SME clusters. Fieldwork was completed in multi-phases involving a preliminary data collection in phase one, followed by a further data collection in the second and subsequent phases through re-interviewing the key informants. The findings of the three empirical case studies echoed the claims that the very notion of a cluster is a dynamic, and for some a ‘Chaotic’ one (Martin and Sunley, 2003). This highlights the importance of a comprehensive framework to address the complex web of elements that are involved in cluster formation. The result of the thesis also indicates that individual (entrepreneurs & social relations), and the social interactions among individuals and their institutional context are the key ingredients for forming clusters. It is suggested that the established conceptual framework, based upon the theories of institutionalisation, social embeddedness and sensemaking, can help to fill the gap in the extant cluster research and pave the way for future research.

▼ The current research examined gaming within a leisure context to examine the motivational and experiential value of the activity, to better understand the range of outcomes of playing videogames. Flow theory was used as a theoretical framework for examining positive gaming experiences, and how these were associated with gaming motivations, and potential positive psychological and affective outcomes. The research utilised a mixed-methodological approach with samples of gamers. These included focus groups, an experiment and online questionnaires. The findings showed that immersion and achievement-orientated gaming motivations predicted flow in gaming, and could also predict some dimensions of psychological well-being. Flow in gameplay interacted with increases in positive mood and activation. This suggests that the processes involved in gaming are influential to positive gaming outcomes. Specific game aspects were influential to the nature of gaming experiences, although these were largely dependent on game-type. The findings also showed that social gaming contexts were influential towards gaming experiences, and the associated affective outcomes. This suggests the dynamic nature of gaming experiences, and the importance of acknowledging the wider social contexts in which gaming occurs. Aspects of personality (i.e. trait aggression and competitiveness) influenced negative mood after gameplay, suggesting the importance of considering internal factors when examining gaming outcomes. Further, because gaming motivations, experiences and the associated effects were largely individual and game-specific, this highlights the need for future research to adopt more idiographic approaches. Based on the findings, the research presents a Process Model of Gameplay to examine the dynamic nature of gameplay processes for a range of outcomes. The current research highlights the effectiveness of considering gaming within the wider context of leisure, to identify gaming processes as a way of examining the influence of gaming motivations and experiences on positive outcomes of the activity.

▼ In this dissertation we discuss problems of search,
inference and opponent modelling in imperfect information games in
the context of creating a computer player for the popular german
card game skat. In so doing, we demonstrate three major
contributions to the field of artificial intelligence research in
games. First, we present our skat player Kermit which, using a
synthesis of different techniques, decisively defeats previously
existing computer players and displays playing strength comparable
to human experts. Second, we propose a framework for evaluating
game-playing algorithms with known theoretical flaws and explaining
the success of such methods in different classes of games. Finally,
we enhance Kermit with a simple but effective opponent modelling
component that allows it to adapt and improve its performance
against players of differing playing strength in real
time.

▼ Autoinducer 2 (
AI-2) molecules produced by bacterial cells are thought to be
involved in controlling a variety of bacterial cellular processes by coordinated gene and
protein expression. Previous work in our laboratory has shown that ground beef contains
compounds that can interfere with
AI-2-mediated bioluminescence expression in Vibrio.
harveyi. The underlying hypothesis of this work was that
AI-2 molecules affect the
protein expression in Escherichia coli O157:H7 and
AI-2 inhibitory molecules negate
the influence of
AI-2 molecules. The main objectives of this study were to identify,
characterize, and isolate the factors responsible for inhibition of
AI-2 molecules from
ground beef extracts, elucidate the role of LuxS/
AI-2 cell signaling system in E. coli
O157:H7 protein expression, and determine if inhibitory factors present in ground beef
extract can negate the influence of
AI-2 molecules on the protein expression. Using a
solvent extraction procedure and gas chromatography analysis,
AI-2 inhibitory factors
present in ground beef extracts were identified as both medium and long chain fatty
acids. When identified fatty acids were tested at different concentrations for
AI-2 inhibition,
AI-2 inhibition ranging from 25% to 90% was observed. Both ground beef
extracts and mixture of selected fatty acids also resulted in 2- to 4-fold reduced
AI-2
influenced biofilm formation by E. coli K12 cells. Identification of LuxS/
AI-2-mediated
protein expression in E. coli O157:H7 was conducted using two dimensional gel
electrophoresis. Protein expression analysis showed that the LuxS/
AI-2 system
modulates the expression of proteins involved in different cellular processes such as
carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, stress response, and formation of flagella and
motility. When
AI-2 inhibitory factors were added along with
AI-2 molecules, the
expression patterns of three
AI-2-influenced proteins (GlmS, SpeE, and NikA) were
changed suggesting that
AI-2 inhibitors can negate the influence of
AI-2 molecules on
protein expression of selected proteins. Collectively, these results highlight that proteins
associated with different cellular processes in E. coli O157:H7 can be modulated
depending on whether cells are in contact with
AI-2 molecules in the presence or
absence of
AI-2 inhibitory factors.

▼ We present an investigation into the design of an evolutionary mechanism for multiagent protocol constraint optimisation. Starting with a review of common population based mechanisms we discuss the properties of the mechanisms used by these search methods. We derive a novel algorithm for optimisation of vectors of real numbers and empirically validate the efficacy of the design by comparing against well known results from the literature. We discuss the application of an optimiser to a novel problem and remark upon the relevance of the no free lunch theorem. We show the relative performance of the optimiser is strong and publish details of a new best result for the Keane optimisation problem. We apply the final algorithm to the multi-agent protocol optimisation problem and show the design process was successful.

▼ Title: The relevance and sustainability of Investors in People. Purpose: The purpose of this research project is to explore and challenge the relevance and sustainability of Investors in People (IIP) involvement and recognition within seven case studies. Research design: Seven in-depth case studies combining thirty-eight semi-structured interviews are used to gather the appropriate insights. Findings: In essence, it is the studied organizations themselves that generate what the Leitch Report describes as the “untapped and vast” potential of their employees, not IIP involvement or recognition. The data collected challenges the direct relationship frequently proposed between IIP recognition and increases in business performance. The sample organizations have delivered performance improvements and success independently of IIP consideration, raising serious questions over the relevance and sustainability of the standard. These insights are supported by the lack of knowledge and understanding of the standard within the workforce. In addition, other quality improvement tools and techniques and industry standards are found to have a significant detrimental influence on the standing of IIP. Other influences are also found to impact negatively on the standing. Thus, this research project questions what contribution IIP can make towards national competitiveness when the standard is so withdrawn from the business performance improvements integrated. Even as a badge or plaque of external recognition, the assumptions surrounding the perceptual value of IIP are questioned when the impact of the standard’s logo/ symbols is considered to be nominal. A theoretical framework and alternative definition for IIP are developed to represent the findings within the seven organizations studied. Research limitations: Research is needed beyond the case samples studied to further explore and generalize the rhetoric and realities concerning the insights developed. Practical implications: HR practitioners and managers need to exhibit caution before considering IIP involvement and recognition. Indeed, practitioners need to consider that the asserted benefits associated with IIP may not match their expectations and provide the impact they seek. Originality/value: This research project provides HR practitioners and managers with a valuable and timely alternative discourse and perspective when considering employee development towards IIP recognition and the possibility of improved business performance and customer/employee perceptual value. In addition, the theoretical exemplars developed from the data set provide visual representations that can be used as pragmatic comparisons to develop the field of IIP further.

▼ Epidemiological data suggest a positive relationship between increased calcium intake and decreased fat and total body mass in healthy people (McCarron et al. 1984, Davies et al., 2000). An in-vitro model suggesting the role of cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) and phosphodiesterase 3B (PDE 3B) has been implicated in the relationship between calcium and lipolysis (Xue et al., 2001). The objective of the series of studies presented in this thesis was to investigate the ergogenicity of supplementary calcium in endurance exercise via studying its influence on substrate metabolism and body composition. Study 1 examined the effects of four weeks of calcium (citrate) supplementation (1000 mg elemental calcium/day) on 60 minutes of cycling at a submaximal intensity of 50%Wpeak. The results of this study indicated that calcium supplementation significantly improved body composition of the participants with a greater fat loss and increased lean mass observed in highly trained athletes as compared to the recreationally trained participants. In addition, four weeks of calcium supplementation also showed an enhanced trend of availability of fatty substrates in the plasma and consequently an increased trend towards higher fat oxidation during submaximal exercise. Study 2 and 3 thus examined the effects of calcium supplementation directly on performance during endurance events (25 and 10 mile cycling time trials (TT)) in highly trained athletes. Results from these studies indicate that following calcium supplementation there was a meaningful improvement in power output (PO) (~4%) during the 25TT and ~2.7% in 10TT with corresponding better completion times in both the time trials. This amounts to an increase in ~2-3% higher PO%peak and ~3-5% increase in power output at lactate threshold, with the higher percentages attributable to the 25TT and the lower end to the 10TT. This increase in PO was achieved without the corresponding increase in oxygen consumption, thus significantly improving the gross efficiency of the cyclists. In addition, four weeks of calcium supplementation once again exhibited the same trends in body composition as observed in study 1 of decreased fat mass and a concurrent increase in lean mass. The results from this set of investigation indicate that calcium plays a multifactorial role in performance enhancement of endurance events. This may have been achieved via a combination of influence on substrate metabolism and body composition. The impact of calcium on fatigue mechanisms and vascular tone may have also played a part in increasing PO and thus efficiency of the athletes. Thus the potential of calcium to enhance performance needs further investigation in studies with larger sample sizes and different training status of athletes.

▼ This thesis describes the research towards automatically generating textual explanations for the behaviour of techniques of Artificial Intelligence, in order to obtain a greater transparency for HeMAS. HeMAS is an expert-system-like multi agent system with agents that apply divergent Artificial Intelligence techniques. It applies datamining on medical patient data and deduction on the newly formed rules to give advice or a diagnosis concerning individual patients. In this thesis, a solution towards enhanced transparency is proposed that includes the adaption of existing HeMAS agents to make them explainable and the implementation of a new agent that combines all obtained information from the agents and forms coherent explanations. This research is one of the fields of Explainable
AI as well as Natural Language Generation and borrows from the field of Argumentation Theory. Involved aspects concerning the generation of explanations are the application of Toulmin Models for the capturing of the reasoning of the agents and the translation of First Order Predicate logic to natural language which is largely covered by LogicBabelfish, a new small programming language for this very purpose. The in this document described solution has been partially implemented and was applied to a small test case. The resulting explanations seem convenient.

▼ Computer-controlled opponents in commercial computer games are often unintelligent, but even more commonly extremely predictable in their behaviour. This detracts from the challenge of the game when playing against computer-controlled opponents, and is the primary reason players consider playing against a computer-controlled opponent significantly less fun and challenging than playing against another human player.
Many machine learning systems have been shown to be effective in creating more reactive, intelligent-seeming computer game players; the question of whether these systems are useful in a commercial context has already been answered. In this Master's thesis, I investigate the process of utilising one of these systems in the context of developing commercial computer game
AI. That is; I don't aim to answer the question of *whether* these systems should be used in a commercial context, but *how* they should be used.
Because I cannot investigate all machine learning systems in the context of all different computer game genres, this project is narrowed down to one specific instance: The primary goal of this project is to empirically discover which parameters and factors are important when employing an evolutionary process to create an Artificially Intelligent player for a Real-Time Strategy game.

▼ The goal of this research is developing a dynamic
AI for OpenTTD using Dynamic Scripting and Grammatical Evolution. First Grammatical Evolution was used to develop a rulebase for the Dynamic Scripting algorithm. Rules used in OpenTTD have to be able to be used in a wide range of circumstances, very different than other games this combination of Dynamic Scripting and Grammatical Evolution has been tried on. During this process we looked at the effects of grammar and genome structure on convergence. Restricting grammars by incorporating domain knowledge
and splitting the genomes into separate parts was found to have a strong effect on convergence. Better programs generated by the Grammatical Evolution leads to a better rulebase. Using these programs we hand build a rulebase from the generated programs and tested a Dynamic Scripting algorithm. It was found to outperform the evolved programs and beat several hand coded AI’s.
