Journal Article
Meudt, H. M., & Clarke, A. C. (2007). Almost Forgotten or Latest Practice? AFLP applications, analyses and advances. Trends in Plant Science, 12(3), 106-117. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.2007.02.001

Amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) DNA fingerprinting is a firmly established molecular marker technique, with broad applications in population genetics, shallow phylogenetics, linkage mapping, parentage analyses, and single-locus PCR mark...

Volatile emission by contest losers revealed by real-time chemical analysis (2006)
Journal Article
Goubault, M., Batchelor, T. P., Linforth, R. S., Taylor, A. J., & Hardy, I. C. (2006). Volatile emission by contest losers revealed by real-time chemical analysis. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 273(1603), 2853-2859. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2006.3655

Animal interactions often involve chemical exchange but simultaneous evaluation of chemistry and behaviour has been problematical. Here we report findings from a novel method, atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) coupl...

Genetic mapping of a major gene affecting onion bulb fructan content (2006)
Journal Article
McCallum, J., Clarke, A., Pither-Joyce, M., Shaw, M., Butler, R., Brash, D., …Havey, M. J. (2006). Genetic mapping of a major gene affecting onion bulb fructan content. TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics, 112(5), 958-967. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00122-005-0199-5

The non-structural dry matter content of onion bulbs consists principally of fructose, glucose, sucrose and fructans. The objective of this study was to understand the genetic basis for the wide variation observed in the relative amounts of these car...

Reconstructing the Origins and Dispersal of the Polynesian Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) (2006)
Journal Article
Clarke, A. C., Burtenshaw, M. K., McLenachan, P. A., Erickson, D. L., & Penny, D. (2006). Reconstructing the Origins and Dispersal of the Polynesian Bottle Gourd (Lagenaria siceraria). Molecular Biology and Evolution, 23(5), 893-900. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msj092

The origin of the Polynesian bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria), an important crop species in prehistoric Polynesia, has remained elusive. Most recently, a South American origin has been favored as the bottle gourd could have been introduced from thi...

An Asian origin for a 10,000-year-old domesticated plant in the Americas (2005)
Journal Article
Erickson, D. L., Smith, B. D., Clarke, A. C., Sandweiss, D. H., & Tuross, N. (2005). An Asian origin for a 10,000-year-old domesticated plant in the Americas. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 102(51), 18315-18320. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.0509279102

New genetic and archaeological approaches have substantially improved our understanding of the transition to agriculture, a major turning point in human history that began 10,000–5,000 years ago with the independent domestication of plants and animal...

A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows
Journal Article
Bell, M. J., Pryce, J., & Wilson, P. (in press). A comparison of the economic value for enteric methane emissions with other biological traits associated with dairy cows. https://doi.org/10.21694/2379-1047.16002

This is the first study to derive the economic value of enteric methane produced by a ruminant animal. There is considerable interest globally in selecting for low methane-emitting ruminant livestock, as methane is a potent greenhouse gas. However, b...

Fast global interactive volume segmentation with regional supervoxel descriptors
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Luengo, I., Basham, M., & French, A. P. (2016, February). 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.

Microarray Feature Selection and Dynamic Selection of Classifiers for Early Detection of Insect Bite Hypersensitivity in Horses
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maciel Guerra, A., Figueredo, G. P., Von Zuben, F., Marti, E., Twycross, J., & Alcocer, M. J. (2019, June). Microarray Feature Selection and Dynamic Selection of Classifiers for Early Detection of Insect Bite Hypersensitivity in Horses. Presented at 2019 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (CEC), Wellington, New Zealand

Microarrays can be employed to better characterise allergies, as interactions between antibodies and allergens in mammals can be monitored. Once the joint dynamics of these elements in both healthy and diseased animals are understood, a model to pred...

RexMoto-A Range Extender Concept for Light Electric Aircraft
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Glassock, R., Madonna, V., Giangrande, P., & Galea, M. (2020, June). RexMoto-A Range Extender Concept for Light Electric Aircraft. Presented at 2020 IEEE Transportation Electrification Conference & Expo (ITEC), Chicago, IL, USA

© 2020 IEEE. A main limitation of fully electric vehicles is their maximum range, which is principally constrained by the performance (i.e. energy density) of energy storage systems. A range extender, coupled to an electric vehicle, is a system able... Read More about RexMoto-A Range Extender Concept for Light Electric Aircraft.
