Near-capacity co-located and distributed MIMO systems
Space-time transmission based colocated and distributed Multiple-Input-Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems are investigated. Generally speaking, there are two types of fundamental gains, when using multiple antennas in wireless communications systems: the multiplexing gain and the diversity gain. …

Investigating Awareness-Supporting Techniques in Co-located Sensemaking
Co-located sensemaking has benefitted from multi-user multi-touch devices such as tabletops and wall-mounted displays. Sensemakers use these displays to establish personal workspaces in which to perform individual sensemaking tasks, while preserving a shared space for the exchange and integration …

On Digital Drumming: Collaborative, Dyadic, Co-Located, Coordinated Interaction
… daily lives. Once a symbol of business and the corporate world, digital devices such as computers and cell phones are now common artifacts to adults and children alike. While these devices become more practical and common, questions of their impact on behavior and interactions begin to arise. …

Searching for stochastic gravitational waves using co-located interferometric detectors
Despite their intrinsic advantages due to co-location, the two LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory) Hanford interferometers have not been used in the search for the stochastic gravitational wave background due to their coupling to a shared environment, which may be comparable …

Co-Located Many-Player Gaming on Large High-Resolution Displays
… emerged over the years. The first type involves co-located players on a shared display, and typically caps at four players. The second type of gaming provides a single display for each player. This type scales well beyond four players, but places no requirement on co-location. This paper will …

CreativeTeams : exploring the creative performance of co-located and virtual teams
This thesis compares the creative performance of traditional co-located and virtual teams. Motivation for this research is twofold. Firstly there is the reluctance shown by many organisations to adopt virtual working practises. Second, there is the gap in existing research ex- ploring how virtual …

Communities of Tweeple: How Communities Engage with Microblogging When Co-located
… as Twitter, has focused on how the individual communicates with their community at a micro and macro level; less research has been done on how the community affects the individual. We present in this thesis some ideas about this phenomenon. We do this by collecting data of Twitter users at a …

Fatigue reliability assessment of co-located offshore wind and wave energy systems
… from wind and waves is being increasingly considered in many parts of the world. The efficient and sustainable use of marine space and co-location of ocean infrastructure to meet several needs including energy generation, fishing, transportation, etc. is also being proposed. Co-location of …

Using a co-located GNSS radio occultation payload for microwave radiometer calibration
… scanning microwave radiometer using a co-located radio occultation (RO) instrument with Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The radiometer and RO receiver periodically observe the same volume of atmosphere near the earth's limb, allowing for overlapping, or collocated, …

Coherent versus non-coherent space-time shift keying for co-located and distributed MIMO systems
In this thesis, we propose the novel Space-Time Coding (STC) concept of Space-Time Shift Keying (STSK) and explore its characteristics in the contexts of both co-located and cooperative Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) systems using both coherent and non-coherent detection. Furthermore, we …

An exploratory study of cohesion among co-located and virtual members of virtual, partially distributed groups
This study provides insight into the factors of cohesion and its development in virtual, partially distributed groups. This qualitative exploratory research design examined how co-located and virtual group participants experienced cohesion. Participants were part of a doctoral cohort. Data was …

An inductive investigation into relationships between geographically co-located actors : the contribution of relationship marketing to regional competitiveness
… drawing heavily on theories from economic geography. The crucial construct drawn from this outwith literature is that of geographic co- location, the phenomenon of geographic proximity between businesses and other organisations. This thesis isolates and defines two modes of regional …

COLAB: social context and user experience in collaborative multiplayer games
Recent studies have shown that the social context in which people play digital multiplayer games has an effect on their experience. Whether co-players are in the same location ("co-located") or in different locations ("mediated") changes how they interact with the game and with one another. We set …

Stroke risk factors, outcomes and models of stroke care in a culturally and linguistically Diverse (CALD) elderly population.
… atrial fibrillation, smoking and heavy alcohol drinking are the major risk factors. Treatment of modifiable risk factors is an important strategy for primary and secondary stroke prevention. The primary aim of this thesis was to examine stroke risk factor profile, risk factor management …

Examining Shared Understanding in Partially Distributed Conceptual Design Teams
A number of significant challenges confront effective communication in partially distributed conceptual design teams (PDCDTs), mainly due to the ill-defined and open nature of conceptual design tasks and their associated solution spaces. In contrast to co-located team members who interact …

Enhancing distributed collaboration using sociometric feedback
Distributed collaboration is often more challenging than co-located collaboration as many of the social signals become lost in computer-mediated communication. I propose a system that improves the performance of distributed groups using sociometric feedback. Sociometric feedback is a real-time …
