Dealing with the Effects of Sensor Displacement in Wearable Activity Recognition
(MDPI, 2014-06)Most wearable activity recognition systems assume a predefined sensor deployment that remains unchanged during runtime. However, this assumption does not reflect real-life conditions. During the normal use of such systems, ... -
Decoupled Ion Mobility in Nano-Confined Ionic Plastic Crystal
Zhu, Haijin; Grzelak, Aleksandra; Yunis, Ruhamah; Martín Pérez, Jaime; Forsyth, Maria (Royal Society Of Chemistry, 2020-12-01)

(Wiley, 2022-01-27)Single-ion lithium conducting polymer electrolytes based on delocalized borate groups have been designed and synthesized by rapid UV-photopolymerisation. For this purpose, three different functional lithium boron sp3 anionic ... -
Detection of Sarcasm and Nastiness: New Resources for Spanish Language
Justo Blanco, Raquel; Alcaide Salinas, José María ; Torres Barañano, María Inés ; (Springer, 2018-06-29)
The main goal of this work is to provide the cognitive computing community with valuable resources to analyze and simulate the intentionality and/or emotions embedded in the language employed in social media. Specifically, ... -
Determining discount rates for the evaluation of natural assets in land-use planning: An application of the Equivalency Principle
(Elsevier, 2019)One of the most pressing issues when making decisions over long-term environmental problems is deciding on an appropriate discount rate. This can be a highly technical discussion. While some argue in favour of market rates, ... -
Development and external validation of a faecal immunochemical test-based prediction model for colorectal cancer detection in symptomatic patients
