Abstract:
Representing the human body ??? science as social meaning adopts and develops systemic functional social semiotics to analyse the popular science texts, The Human Body, Superhuman, Human Instinct, Brain Story, The Secret Life of Twins and How to Build a Human. These are predominantly produced through the resources of the Wellcome Trust and/or the BBC/TLC (The Learning Channel), and feature celebrity doctors (Robert Winston) or scientists (Susan Greenfield) as presenters. Adopting a modified and expanded systemic functional semiotics derived from Kress and van Leeuwen (1996, 2001), it is argued

The figure of the cyborg, or more latterly, the posthuman body has been an increasingly familiar presence in a number of academic disciplines.

To date however, few studies have focused on the posthuman and the comic book superhero, despite their evident corporeality, and none have questioned comics’ readers about their responses to the posthuman body.

Abstract:
Weight gain due to poor diet and lack of exercise is responsible for over 300,000 deaths each year (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2010). Obese adults have an increased risk for serious health conditions including high blood pressure and cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke, gallbladder disease, osteoarthritis, sleep apnea, respiratory problems, and certain cancers (National Cancer Institute, 2012). Participation in exercise can help control weight, strengthen muscles and bones, and reduce the incidence of cardiac events, stroke, hypertension, type 2 diab

Abstract:
Increasing interest in self health monitoring and performance analysis has resulted in a growing number of human health sensor devices. Such devices usually take the form of small, wearable and battery powered electronic systems that emphasise low power consumption and minimum discomfort to the user. While such sensors may be helpful on their own, increased benefits can be realised though the implementation of an integrated sensor network around the human body. In 2012, the IEEE 802.15.6 standard was introduced to provide a common communications protocol that may be adopted by sensor de

Abstract:
The human body has antenna characteristics that are not explored in detail to explain some phenomena involving the interaction of electromagnetic fields and the human body. Moreover, the characterization of the human body as antenna unlocks new applications in body area networks for low-power wireless communications by utilizing the human body itself as an antenna. This thesis presents a new theory for explaining the antenna characteristics of the human body in transmission and reception mode. The theory is applied to two areas of study, namely, Human Body Communication (HBC) and whole-b

Abstract:
Human body composition refers to the relative proportions of fat, bone, water, muscle and minerals in the body. Adequate proportions of these are a primary requirement for healthy living. Measurement of body composition is important for medical diagnosis and for understanding the physiological proportions of body tissues for physical fitness and exercise performance. Studies in human body hydration, as an example, provides the information necessary to understand the desired fluid levels for optimal performance of the body's physiological and metabolic processes during exercise and activitie

Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)<br>My research is from a visual arts based methodology and in my own artistic practice, which forms an integral part of my research, I use myself as the subject, a strategy which has also been my foundational approach overall. My art practice is a central aspect of my research and whilst my research draws upon theoretical, historical and philosophical discourse, I have approached my research as a visual artist and my art practice has been as important a research tool as my reading has been, thus both have responded to and evolved with the issues
