Experimental investigation of the use of sharp edges for the production of positive ions in field-ionization mass spectrometry (1968)
Journal Article
Blenkinsop, P., Job, B., Brailsford, D. F., Cross, C., & Robertson, A. (1968). Experimental investigation of the use of sharp edges for the production of positive ions in field-ionization mass spectrometry. International journal of mass spectrometry and ion processes, 1(6), 421-434. https://doi.org/10.1016/0020-7381%2868%2985019-3

Various commercial razor blades have been tested for field ionization performance and compared with edges prepared electrochemically from platinum and tungsten foils. The results are correlated with data obtained from electron micrographs of the vari...

Calculation of electric field strengths at a sharp edge (1968)
Journal Article
Brailsford, D. F., & Robertson, A. J. B. (1968). Calculation of electric field strengths at a sharp edge

Sharp edges were first used for field ionisation mass spectrometry by Beckey. Although Cross and Robertson found that etched metal foils were more effective than razor blades for field ionisation, blades are very convenient for determination of field...

Integrating real-time analysis with the dendritic cell algorithm through segmentation
Conference Proceeding
Gu, F., Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. (in press). Integrating real-time analysis with the dendritic cell algorithm through segmentation.

As an immune inspired algorithm, the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) has been applied to a range of problems, particularly in the area of intrusion detection. Ideally, the intrusion detection should be performed in real-time, to continuously detect mi... Read More about Integrating real-time analysis with the dendritic cell algorithm through segmentation.

Cheating for problem solving: a genetic algorithm with social interactions
Conference Proceeding
Lahoz-Beltra, R., Ochoa, G., & Aickelin, U. (in press). Cheating for problem solving: a genetic algorithm with social interactions.

We propose a variation of the standard genetic algorithm that incorporates social interaction between the individuals in the population. Our goal is to understand the evolutionary role of social systems and its possible application as a non-genetic n...

The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password
Conference Proceeding
Gao, H., Ren, Z., Chang, X., Liu, X., & Aickelin, U. (in press). The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password.

Graphical passwords have been demonstrated to be the possible alternatives to traditional alphanumeric passwords. However, they still tend to follow predictable patterns that are easier to attack. The crux of the problem is users’ memory limitations.... Read More about The effect of baroque music on the PassPoints graphical password.

A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control
Conference Proceeding
Benatar, N., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. (in press). A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control.

Type-1 fuzzy logic has frequently been used in control systems. However this method is sometimes shown to be too restrictive and unable to adapt in the presence of uncertainty. In this paper we compare type-1 fuzzy control with several other fuzzy ap... Read More about A comparison of non-stationary, type-2 and dual surface fuzzy control.

Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases
Conference Proceeding
Ahmed, A., Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases.

Classical deterministic simulations of epidemiological processes, such as those based on System Dynamics, produce a single result based on a fixed set of input parameters with no variance between simulations. Input parameters are subsequently modifie... Read More about Variance in system dynamics and agent based modelling using the SIR model of infectious diseases.

Supervised learning and anti-learning of colorectal cancer classes and survival rates from cellular biology parameters
Conference Proceeding
Roadknight, C., Aickelin, U., Qiu, G., Scholefield, J., & Durrant, L. Supervised learning and anti-learning of colorectal cancer classes and survival rates from cellular biology parameters.

In this paper, we describe a dataset relating to cellular and physical conditions of patients who are operated upon to remove colorectal tumours. This data provides a unique insight into immunological status at the point of tumour removal,tumour cl...
