Further exploration of the Dendritic Cell Algorithm: antigen multiplier and time windows (2008)
Book Chapter
Gu, F., Greensmith, J., & Aickelin, U. (2008). Further exploration of the Dendritic Cell Algorithm: antigen multiplier and time windows. In P. Bentley, D. Lee, & S. Jung (Eds.), Artificial immune systems: 7th international conference, ICARIS 2008, Phuket, Thailand, August 10-13, 2008: proceedings. Springer

As an immune-inspired algorithm, the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA), produces promising performance in the field of anomaly detection. This paper presents the application of the DCA to a standard data set, the KDD 99 data set. The results of differen...

RVM-based multi-class classification of remotely sensed data (2008)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2008). RVM-based multi-class classification of remotely sensed data. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 29(6), https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160701822115

The relevance vector machine (RVM), a Bayesian extension of the support vector machine (SVM), has considerable potential for the analysis of remotely sensed data. Here, the RVM is introduced and used to derive a multi-class classification of land cov... Read More about RVM-based multi-class classification of remotely sensed data.

Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment (2008)
Journal Article
Foody, G. M. (2008). Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 29(11), https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160701442120

Thematic mapping via a classification analysis is one of the most common applications of remote sensing. The accuracy of image classifications is, however, often viewed negatively. Here, it is suggested that the approach to the evaluation of image cl... Read More about Harshness in image classification accuracy assessment.

Nanoscale characterisation of MBE-grown GaMnN / (001) GaAs (2008)
Book Chapter
Fay, M. W., Han, Y., Novikov, S. V., Edmonds, K., Gallagher, B., Campion, R., Staddon, C., Foxon, C., & Brown, P. D. (2008). Nanoscale characterisation of MBE-grown GaMnN / (001) GaAs. In A. Cullis, & P. Midgley (Eds.), Microscopy of semiconducting materials 2007: proceedings of the 15th conference, 2-5 April 2007, Cambridge, UK. Springer-Verlag

The growth of cubic (Ga,Mn)N/(001)GaAs heterostructures by plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy has been appraised as a function of Ga:N ratio, Mn concentration and growth temperature. The combined analytical techniques of EFTEM, EDX, CBED and dark... Read More about Nanoscale characterisation of MBE-grown GaMnN / (001) GaAs.

Continuous Wave and simulated GSM exposure at 1.8 W/kg and 1.8 GHz do not induce hsp16-1 heat-shock gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans (2008)
Journal Article
Dawe, A. S., Nylund, R., Leszczynski, D., Kuster, N., Reader, T., & de Pomerai, D. I. (2008). Continuous Wave and simulated GSM exposure at 1.8 W/kg and 1.8 GHz do not induce hsp16-1 heat-shock gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans. Bioelectromagnetics, 29(2), https://doi.org/10.1002/bem.20366

Recent data suggest that there might be a subtle thermal explanation for the apparent induction by radiofrequency (RF) radiation of transgene expression from a small-heat-shock-protein (hsp16-1) promoter in the nematode, Caenorhabditis elegans. The R... Read More about Continuous Wave and simulated GSM exposure at 1.8 W/kg and 1.8 GHz do not induce hsp16-1 heat-shock gene expression in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Bayesian alignment of continuous molecular shapes using random fields (2008)
Journal Article
Czogiel, I., Dryden, I. L., & Brignell, C. J. Bayesian alignment of continuous molecular shapes using random fields. Manuscript submitted for publication

Statistical methodology is proposed for comparing
molecular shapes. In order to account for the continuous nature of molecules, classical shape analysis methods are combined with techniques used for predicting random fields in spatial statistics. Ap... Read More about Bayesian alignment of continuous molecular shapes using random fields.

Parasitology, 135(8), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182008004484

The relative importance of temporal and spatial effects was assessed in helminth communities of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) in 3 woodland sites in N.E. Poland in the late summers of 1999 and 2002. Among common species the rank order of sites in rel... Read More about Temporal and between-site variation in helminth communities of bank voles (Myodes glareolus) from N.E. Poland: 2.

Although hookworms are known to stimulate inflammatory responses in the intestinal mucosa of their hosts, there is little quantitative data on this aspect of infection. Here we report the results of experiments conducted in hamsters infected with Anc... Read More about The mucosal cellular response to infection with Ancylostoma ceylanicum.
