Model based analysis of fMRI-data: Applying the sSoTS framework to the neural basic of preview search. (2009)
Book Chapter

The current work aims to unveil the neural circuits under- lying visual search over time and space by using a model-based analysis of behavioural and fMRI data. It has been suggested by Watson and Humphreys [31] that the prioritization of new stimuli...

Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India (2009)
Journal Article

Whilst greatly valuing recent critiques of the vertical imaginary and reified ontology of scale theory, and of the unfettered flows of network theory, this paper argues against a human geography without scale. Rather, four propositions from the theor... Read More about Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India.

Predicting the human response to an emergency (2009)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents a case study of an approach for predicting the human response to a domestic fire, using a combination of a talk-through technique (Kirwan and Ainsworth, 1992) and sequential analysis (Bakeman and Gottman, 1986). 20 participants w...

Development of a technique for predicting the human response to an emergency situation (2009)
Conference Proceeding

This paper presents development work on a new approach for predicting the human response to an emergency situation. The study builds upon an initial investigation in which 20 participants were asked to predict what actions they would take in the eve...

Supporting the creation of hybrid museum experiences (2009)
Journal Article

This paper presents the evolution of a tool to support the rapid prototyping of hybrid museum experiences by domain professionals. The developed tool uses visual markers to associate digital resources with physical artefacts. We present the iterative... Read More about Supporting the creation of hybrid museum experiences.

Parcellation of fMRI datasets with ICA and PLS: a data driven approach (2009)
Book Chapter

Inter-subject parcellation of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) data based on a standard General Linear Model (GLM) and spectral clustering was recently proposed as a means to alleviate the issues associated with spatial normalization in...

Exploration of the dendritic cell algorithm with the duration calculus (2009)
Book Chapter

As one of the newest members in Articial Immune Systems (AIS), the Dendritic Cell Algorithm (DCA) has been applied to a range of problems. These applications mainly belong to the eld of anomaly detection. However, real-time detection, a new challeng...

Use of posterior predictive assessments to evaluate model fit in multilevel logistic regression (2009)
Journal Article

Assessing the fit of a model is an important final step in any statistical analysis, but this is not straightforward when complex discrete response models are used. Cross validation and posterior predictions have been suggested as methods to aid mode...

Bayesian analysis of a mastitis control plan to investigate the influence of veterinary prior beliefs on clinical interpretation (2009)
Journal Article

The fundamental objective for health research is to determine whether changes should be made to clinical decisions. Decisions made by veterinary surgeons in the light of new research evidence are known to be influenced by their prior beliefs, especia... Read More about Bayesian analysis of a mastitis control plan to investigate the influence of veterinary prior beliefs on clinical interpretation.

Journal Article

This Article highlights a particular strength of the World Heritage Convention within the international environmental law project that enhances conservation of natural areas, flora, and fauna. This strength relates to the World Heritage Convention’s... Read More about The World Heritage Convention, the environment, and compliance.

Interaction of MRI field gradients with the human body (2009)
Journal Article

In this review, the effects of low-frequency electromagnetic fields encountered specifically during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are examined. The primary biological effect at frequencies of between 100 and 5000 Hz (typical of MRI magnetic field... Read More about Interaction of MRI field gradients with the human body.

ArrayMining: a modular web-application for microarray analysis combining ensemble and consensus methods with cross-study normalization (2009)
Journal Article

Background: Statistical analysis of DNA microarray data provides a valuable diagnostic tool for the investigation of genetic components of diseases. To take advantage of the multitude of available data sets and analysis methods, it is desirable to c...

Corticosterone differences rather than social housing predict performance of T-maze alternation in male CD-1 mice (2009)
Journal Article

This study examined the effects of social housing manipulations on body weight, corticosterone levels, and performance of T-maze alternation in male CD-1 mice. Males that adopted a dominant social rank were heavier than those that adopted a subordina...

Should patent law help cool the planet? An inquiry from the point of view of environmental law: Parts 1 and 2 (2009)
Journal Article

It has now almost become trite to say that global warming is one of the most pressing problems we are facing. Very few would also now deny that the cause of this greenhouse effect and the correlated climate change is man. What has not been much note... Read More about Should patent law help cool the planet?
