Journal Article
Hardy, I. C., & Maalouf, W. E. (in press). Partially-constrained sex allocation and the indirect effects of assisted reproductive technologies on the human sex ratio. Journal of Biosocial Science, https://doi.org/10.1017/S0021932016000146

Infertility affects around 15% of human couples and in many countries approximately 1–4% of babies are born following Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART). Several ART techniques are used and these differentially affect the sex ratio of offspring...

Organic matter chemistry controls greenhouse gas emissions from permafrost peatlands (2016)
Journal Article
Sjögersten, S., Caul, S., Daniell, T., Jurd, A., O'Sullivan, O., Stapleton, C., & Titman, J. J. (2016). Organic matter chemistry controls greenhouse gas emissions from permafrost peatlands. Soil Biology and Biochemistry, 98, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.soilbio.2016.03.016

Large tracts of arctic and subarctic peatlands are underlain by permafrost. These peatlands store large quantities of carbon (C), and are currently under severe threat from climate change. The aim of this study was to determine the size and organic c... Read More about Organic matter chemistry controls greenhouse gas emissions from permafrost peatlands.

Fast global interactive volume segmentation with regional supervoxel descriptors (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Luengo, I., Basham, M., & French, A. P. (2016, March). Fast global interactive volume segmentation with regional supervoxel descriptors. Presented at SPIE Medical Imaging, San Diego, California, United States

In this paper we propose a novel approach towards fast multi-class volume segmentation that exploits supervoxels in order to reduce complexity, time and memory requirements. Current methods for biomedical image segmentation typically require either c... Read More about Fast global interactive volume segmentation with regional supervoxel descriptors.
