Clustering through post inhibitory rebound in synaptically coupled neurons
Journal Article
Chik, D. T. W., Coombes, S., & Wang, Z. D. (2004). Clustering through post inhibitory rebound in synaptically coupled neurons

Post inhibitory rebound is a nonlinear phenomenon present in a variety of nerve cells. Following a period of hyper-polarization this effect allows a neuron to fire a spike or packet of spikes before returning to rest. It is an important mechanism u...

Receptors, sparks and waves in a fire-diffuse-fire framework for calcium release
Journal Article
Coombes, S., Hinch, R., & Timofeeva, Y. (2004). Receptors, sparks and waves in a fire-diffuse-fire framework for calcium release

Calcium ions are an important second messenger in living cells. Indeed calcium signals in the form of waves have been the subject of much recent experimental interest. It is now well established that these waves are composed of elementary stochasti... Read More about Receptors, sparks and waves in a fire-diffuse-fire framework for calcium release.

The Becker-Döring equations with monomer input, competition and inhibition
Journal Article
Bolton, C. D., & Wattis, J. A. The Becker-Döring equations with monomer input, competition and inhibition. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 37,,

We investigate the Becker-Döring model of nucleation with three generalisations; an input of monomer, an input of inhibitor and finally, we allow the monomers to form two morphologies of cluster. We assume size-independent aggregation and fragmentat... Read More about The Becker-Döring equations with monomer input, competition and inhibition.

A relative evaluation of multi-class image classification by support vector machines
Journal Article
Foody, G. M., & Mathur, A. A relative evaluation of multi-class image classification by support vector machines. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 42(6), https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2004.827257

Support vector machines (SVM) have considerable potential as classifiers of remotely sensed data. A constraint on their application in remote sensing has been their binary nature, requiring multi-class classifications to be based upon a large number...

Emerging Gender Regimes and Policies for Gender Equality in a Wider Europe
Journal Article
Pascall, G., & Lewis, J. Emerging Gender Regimes and Policies for Gender Equality in a Wider Europe. Journal of Social Policy, 33(3),

This article addresses some implications for gender equality and gender policy at European and national levels of transformations in family, economy and polity, which challenge gender regimes across Europe. Women’s labour market participation in the... Read More about Emerging Gender Regimes and Policies for Gender Equality in a Wider Europe.

Similarity solutions of a Becker-Döring system with time-dependent monomer input
Journal Article
Wattis, J. A. Similarity solutions of a Becker-Döring system with time-dependent monomer input. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 37,

We formulate the Becker-Döring equations for cluster growth in the presence of a time-dependent source of monomer input. In the case of size-independent aggregation and ragmentation rate coefficients we find similarity solutions which are approache...

The Becker-Döring equations with exponentially size-dependent rate coefficients
Journal Article
Wattis, J. A., Bolton, C. D., & Coveney, P. V. The Becker-Döring equations with exponentially size-dependent rate coefficients. Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General, 37,

This paper is concerned with an analysis of the Becker-Döring equations which lie at the heart of a number of descriptions of non-equilibrium phase transitions and related complex dynamical processes. The Becker-Döring theory describes growth and fra... Read More about The Becker-Döring equations with exponentially size-dependent rate coefficients.

Coagulation equations with mass loss
Journal Article
Wattis, J. A., McCartney, D. G., & Gudmundsson, T. Coagulation equations with mass loss. Journal of Engineering Mathematics, 49,

We derive and solve models for coagulation with mass loss arising, for example, from industrial processes in which growing inclusions are lost from the melt by colliding with the wall of the vessel. We consider a variety of loss laws and a variety... Read More about Coagulation equations with mass loss.

Geometrical measurements in three-dimensional quantum gravity
Journal Article
Barrett, J. W. (2002). Geometrical measurements in three-dimensional quantum gravity

A set of observables is described for the topological quantum field theory which describes quantum gravity in three space-time dimensions with positive signature and positive cosmological constant. The simplest examples measure the distances between... Read More about Geometrical measurements in three-dimensional quantum gravity.

An Artificial Immune System Based Recommender
Journal Article
Cayzer, S., & Aickelin, U. An Artificial Immune System Based Recommender

The immune system is a complex biological system with a highly distributed, adaptive and self-organising nature. This paper presents an artificial immune system (AIS) that exploits some of these characteristics and is applied to the task of film reco...

On The Effects of Idiotypic Interactions for Recommendation Communities in Artificial Immune Systems
Journal Article
Cayzer, S., & Aickelin, U. On The Effects of Idiotypic Interactions for Recommendation Communities in Artificial Immune Systems

It has previously been shown that a recommender based on immune system idiotypic principles can outperform one based on correlation alone. This paper reports the results of work in progress, where we undertake some investigations into the nature of t...

On the reduction theory of binary forms
Journal Article
Cremona, J. E., & Stoll, M. (2001). On the reduction theory of binary forms

Cremona developed a reduction theory for binary forms of degree 3 and 4 with integer coefficients, the motivation in the case of quartics being to improve 2-descent algorithms for elliptic curves over Q. In this paper we extend some of these result... Read More about On the reduction theory of binary forms.

Trivial Jensen measures without regularity
Journal Article
Feinstein, J. (1999). Trivial Jensen measures without regularity

In this note we construct Swiss cheeses X such that R(X) is non-regular but such that R(X) has no non-trivial Jensen measures. We also construct a non-regular uniform algebra with compact, metrizable character space such that every point of the chara... Read More about Trivial Jensen measures without regularity.
