An Animation System for Fracturing of Rigid Objects (2005)
Book Chapter

This paper describes a system for the animation of fracturing brittle objects. The system combines rigid body simulation methods with a constraint-based model to animate fracturing of arbitrary polyhedral shaped objects under impact. The objects are...

Measuring the induction or inhibition of apoptosis by HPV proteins (2005)
Book Chapter

Many viral proteins influence the cellular pathways that control cell proliferation and cell death. Some viral proteins trigger apoptotic cell death, and this may be important in host defense and viral spread. In other cases, viral proteins inhibit a...

Multi-objective hyper-heuristic approaches for space allocation and timetabling (2005)
Book Chapter

An important issue in multi-objective optimisation is how to ensure that the obtained non-dominated set covers the Pareto front as widely as possible. A number of techniques (e.g. weight vectors, niching, clustering, cellular structures, etc.) have b...

Book Chapter

The evolution of imperfect mimicry (2005)
Book Chapter

Ideas about the evolution of imperfect mimicry are reviewed. Their relevance to the colours patterns of hoverflies (Diptera, Syrphidae) are discussed in detail. Most if not all of the hoverflies labelled as mimetic actually are mimics. The apparent... Read More about The evolution of imperfect mimicry.

Multiculturalism and its discontents in SFR Yugoslavia and Bosnia: a critique of the multiculturalist rights model (2005)
Book Chapter

In this chapter I seek to contribute to debates over multiculturalism and highlight problems with ethnic rights strategies. I hope to facilitate understanding of the failures to overcome ethnic divisions in Bosnia, as well as to suggest how critiques...

MATCH: a new industry-focused approach to medical device development (2005)
Book Chapter

MATCH (Multidisciplinary Assessment of Technology Centre for Healthcare) is a new collaboration in the UK that aims to support the healthcare sector by creating methods to assess the value of medical devices from concept through to mature product. A... Read More about MATCH: a new industry-focused approach to medical device development.

Structural characterisation of MBE grown zinc-blende Ga1-xMnxN/GaAs(001) as a function of Ga flux (2005)
Book Chapter

Ga1-xMnxN films grown on semi-insulating GaAs(001) substrates at 680°C with fixed Mn flux and varied Ga flux demonstrated a transition from zinc-blende/wurtzite mixed phase growth for low Ga flux (N-rich conditions) to zinc-blende single phase growth...

Structural characterisation of spintronic GaMnAs and GaMnN heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy (2005)
Book Chapter

Observations of orthogonal orientations demonstrate the development of banded contrast features on inclined {-1-1-1}B planes for the [110] projection within micron thick samples, attributed to a compositional fluctuation in the Mn content. The relat... Read More about Structural characterisation of spintronic GaMnAs and GaMnN heterostructures grown by molecular beam epitaxy.

Hybrid Graph Heuristics within a Hyper-heuristic Approach to Exam Timetabling Problems (2005)
Book Chapter

This paper is concerned with the hybridization of two graph coloring heuristics (Saturation Degree and Largest Degree), and their application within a hyperheuristic for exam timetabling problems. Hyper-heuristics can be seen as algorithms which inte... Read More about Hybrid Graph Heuristics within a Hyper-heuristic Approach to Exam Timetabling Problems.

Artificial immune systems (2005)
Book Chapter

The biological immune system is a robust, complex, adaptive system that defends the body from foreign pathogens. It is able to categorize all cells (or molecules) within the body as self-cells or non-self cells. It does this with the help of a distri... Read More about Artificial immune systems.
