STORM - a novel information fusion and cluster interpretation technique (2010)
Book Chapter

Analysis of data without labels is commonly subject to scrutiny by unsupervised machine learning techniques. Such techniques provide more meaningful representations, useful for better understanding of a problem at hand, than by looking only at the da...

Defining a simulation strategy for cancer immunocompetence (2010)
Book Chapter

Although there are various types of cancer treatments, none of these currently take into account the e®ect of ageing of the immune system and hence altered responses to cancer. Recent studies have shown that in vitro stimulation of T cells can help i... Read More about Defining a simulation strategy for cancer immunocompetence.

Investigating immune system aging: system dynamics and agent-based modeling (2010)
Book Chapter

System dynamics and agent based simulation models can both be used to model and understand interactions of entities within a population. Our modeling work presented here is concerned with understanding the suitability of the different types of simul...

High-order hp-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for compressible fluid flows (2010)
Book Chapter

This article is concerned with the construction of general isotropic and anisotropic adaptive strategies, as well as hp-mesh refinement techniques, in combination with dual-weighted-residual a posteriori error indicators for the discontinuous Galerki...

Artificial immune systems (2010)
Book Chapter

The human immune system has numerous properties that make it ripe for exploitation in the computational domain, such as robustness and fault tolerance, and many different algorithms, collectively termed Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), have been ins... Read More about Artificial immune systems.

An audio CAPTCHA to distinguish humans from computers (2010)
Book Chapter

CAPTCHAs are employed as a security measure to differentiate human users from bots. A new sound-based CAPTCHA is proposed in this paper, which exploits the gaps between human voice and synthetic voice rather than relays on the auditory perception o...

Jahn-Teller effects in molecules on surfaces with specific application to C_60 (2010)
Book Chapter

Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is capable of imaging molecules adsorbed onto surfaces with su±cient resolution as to permit intramolecular features to be discerned. Therefore, imaging molecules subject to the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect could, in... Read More about Jahn-Teller effects in molecules on surfaces with specific application to C_60.

“Dialectics at a standstill”: archaic kouroi-cum-epigram as I-box (2010)

Between compassion and conservatism: a genealogy of British humanitarian sensibilities (2010)
Book Chapter

Abstract: The chapter explores continuities in modern British humanitarianism at its birth two hundred years ago and today. Modern British humanitarianism arose out of the contradictions between humanist ideals, expanding social sympathies, and fears...

ExoBuilding: breathing Life into architecture (2010)
Book Chapter

ExoBuilding explores the novel design space that emerges when an individual‟s physiological data and the fabric of building architecture are linked. In its current form ExoBuilding is a tent-like structure that externalises a person‟s physiological d... Read More about ExoBuilding: breathing Life into architecture.

Scenario analysis, decision trees and simulation for cost benefit analysis of the cargo screening process (2010)
Book Chapter

In this paper we present our ideas for conducting a cost benefit analysis by using three different methods: scenario analysis, decision trees and simulation. Then we introduce our case study and examine these methods in a real world situation. We sh...

The history of the text of Aristophanes (2010)
Book Chapter

An account of the transmission of Aristophanes' text from his own time to the present day.

Multiscale modeling of colonic crypts and early colorectal cancer (2010)
Book Chapter

John Freeman, 1969–71 (2009)
Book Chapter

At less than two years duration, the ambassadorship of John Freeman was the second shortest covered by this book. It took place, too, in a singularly uneventful period in Anglo-American relations, between the dramas of 1967–68 — when the devaluation... Read More about John Freeman, 1969–71.

An improved version of volume dominance for multi-objective optimisation (2009)
Book Chapter

This paper proposes an improved version of volume dominance to assign fitness to solutions in Pareto-based multi-objective optimisation. The impact of this revised volume dominance on the performance of multi-objective evolutionary algorithms is inve...

Economics and Human Geography (2009)
Book Chapter

© 2009 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved. At first glance, economics and human geography seem to have much in common. However, the relationship between the two disciplines has been dynamic and contested over recent years as epistemologies and ontolog... Read More about Economics and Human Geography.

Governance, networks and policy change: The case of Cannabis in the United Kingdom (2009)
Book Chapter

The two coterminous concepts of governance and policy networks have been reasserted in public management studies in the wake of the recent decline in the popularity of the so-called New Public Management (NPM) movement. The concepts appear to be inte... Read More about Governance, networks and policy change: The case of Cannabis in the United Kingdom.

© 2006 by Taylor and Francis Group, LLC. The outcome of infection with Mycobacterium tuberculosis is crucially dependent on the immune response of the host. Most individuals mount a response that is sufficient to prevent progression to disease but ma... Read More about The future of tuberculosis vaccinology.

Evolutionary non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling (2009)
Book Chapter

This paper presents a hybrid evolutionary algorithm to tackle university course timetabling problems. The proposed approach is an extension of a non-linear great deluge algorithm in which evolutionary operators are incorporated. First, we generate a...

Exploring feasible and infeasible regions in the vehicle routing problem with time windows using a multi-objective particle swarm optimization approach (2009)
Book Chapter

This paper investigates the ability of a discrete particle swarm optimization algorithm (DPSO) to evolve solutions from infeasibility to feasibility for the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW). The proposed algorithm incorporates some p...
