Self-ordered pointing as a test of working memory in typically developing children (2007)
Journal Article

The self-ordered pointing test (SOPT; Petrides & Milner, 1982) is a test of non-spatial executive working memory requiring the ability to generate and monitor a sequence of responses. Although used with developmental clinical populations there are... Read More about Self-ordered pointing as a test of working memory in typically developing children.

Two-dimensional Stokes flow driven by elliptical paddles (2007)
Journal Article

A fast and accurate numerical technique is developed for solving the biharmonic equation in a multiply connected domain, in two dimensions. We apply the technique to the computation of slow viscous flow (Stokes flow) driven by multiple stirring rods.... Read More about Two-dimensional Stokes flow driven by elliptical paddles.

Effect of maternal cold exposure and nutrient restriction on insulin-like growth factor sensitivity in adipose tissue of newborn sheep (2007)
Journal Article

Adipose tissue mass in the newborn is determined in part by insulin-like growth factor (IGF)s, which are dependent on the maternal nutritional and metabolic environment during late gestation. The present study was designed to determine whether matern...

Consideration of the relevance of standard quality techniques in Mass Customisation (2007)
Journal Article

The business philosophy of Mass Customisation (MC) implies rapid response to customer requests, high efficiency and limited cost overheads of customisation. Furthermore, it also implies the quality benefits of the mass production paradigm are guaran... Read More about Consideration of the relevance of standard quality techniques in Mass Customisation.

Unruptured arteriovenous malformations of the brain (2007)
Journal Article

Unruptured, asymptomatic arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) lurk in the brains of approximately one person in every thousand; their prevalence, based on four studies of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of 7,359 people without brain disorders, 1-4 was...

Conditional moment closure for chemical reactions in laminar chaotic flows (2007)
Journal Article

We implement conditional moment closure (CMC) for simulation of chemical reactions in laminar chaotic flows. The CMC approach predicts the expected concentration of reactive species, conditional upon the concentration of a corresponding nonreactive s...

A graph-based hyper heuristic for timetabling problems (2007)
Journal Article

This paper presents an investigation of a simple generic hyper-heuristic approach upon a set of widely used constructive heuristics (graph coloring heuristics) in timetabling. Within the hyperheuristic framework, a Tabu Search approach is employed to... Read More about A graph-based hyper heuristic for timetabling problems.
