Some patients with COPD ‘retain CO2’ when given high concentration or uncontrolled oxygen therapy. The mechanism for this, and why it occurs in only some patients, is unclear. The pathogenesis of chronic hypercapnia in COPD involves multiple, poorly...

Presentation / Conference Contribution
Aickelin, U., Greensmith, J., & Twycross, J. (2004, September). Immune System Approaches to Intrusion Detection - A Review (ICARIS). Presented at Artificial Immune Systems, Sicily, Italy

The use of artificial immune systems in intrusion detection is an appealing concept for two reasons. Firstly, the human immune system provides the human body with a high level of protection from invading pathogens, in a robust, self-organised and dis...
