Regulation of neurotoxin production and sporulation by a putative agrBD signaling system in proteolytic Clostridium botulinum (2010)
Journal Article
A significant number of genome sequences of Clostridium botulinum and related species have now been determined. In silico analysis of these data revealed the presence of two distinct agr loci (agr-1 and agr-2) in all group I strains, each encoding pu...

A genetic programming hyper-heuristic approach for evolving 2-D strip packing heuristics (2010)
Journal Article
We present a genetic programming (GP) system to evolve reusable heuristics for the 2-D strip packing problem. The evolved heuristics are constructive, and decide both which piece to pack next and where to place that piece, given the current partial s...

Hybrid cascaded multilevel converter with integrated series Active Power Filter for interfacing energy storage system to medium voltage grid (2010)
Conference Proceeding
This paper presents a new control strategy for a high performance hybrid cascaded H-Bridge HB multilevel converter with integrated series Active Power Filter Stage APFS. Unequal DC voltage sources are used to energise the converter's HBs. This offers...

The fate of steroid estrogens: Partitioning during wastewater treatment and onto river sediments (2010)
Journal Article
The partitioning of steroid estrogens in wastewater treatment and receiving waters is likely to influence their discharge to, and persistence in, the environment. This study investigated the partitioning behaviour of steroid estrogens in both laborat...

Damage mechanics based predictions of creep crack growth in 316 stainless steel (2010)
Journal Article
This paper describes a novel modelling process for creep crack growth prediction of a 316 stainless steel using continuum damage mechanics, in conjunction with finite element (FE) analysis. A damage material behaviour model, proposed by Liu and Murak... Read More about Damage mechanics based predictions of creep crack growth in 316 stainless steel.
The gravitational dynamics of warped throats (2010)
Journal Article
We investigate the time evolution due to gravitational dynamics of a particular spacetime commonly used in brane-cosmology and string compactifications, namely the Klebanov-Strassler geometry, which is achieved by adding a perturbation to the momentu...

Palaeoclimate chronology and aridization tendencies in the Transbaikalia for the last 1900 years (2010)
Journal Article
Within the long-term research program on reconstruction of palaeoclimatic characteristics of Central Asia, we carried out a palaeoreconstructions of climate aridity/humidity in the Transbaikalia, based on investigating layered palynological spectra a...

Reusable learning objects in healthcare education (2010)
Book Chapter
This chapter will review the definition, development and characteristics of reusable learning objects (RLOs) and outline examples of how these resources are meeting the challenges of interprofessional learning. It will discuss the ways in which pedag... Read More about Reusable learning objects in healthcare education.
Case studies of creating reusable inter professional e-learning objects (2010)
Book Chapter
Reusable learning objects can play an important part in enhancing interprofessional learning. They provide flexible support to students of health care and provide an opportunity during the creation process, for interprofessional educators to share kn...

A pictorial visualization of normal mode vibrations of the fullerene C_60 molecule in terms of vibrations of a hollow sphere (2010)
Journal Article
Understanding the normal mode vibrations of a molecule is important in the analysis of vibrational spectra. However, the complicated 3D motion of large molecules can be difficult to interpret. We show how images of normal modes of the fullerene molec...

Algebraic approach to quantum field theory on a class of noncommutative curved spacetimes (2010)
Journal Article
In this article we study the quantization of a free real scalar field on a class of noncommutative manifolds, obtained via formal deformation quantization using triangular Drinfel'd twists. We construct deformed quadratic action functionals and compu... Read More about Algebraic approach to quantum field theory on a class of noncommutative curved spacetimes.
Instabilities in the spin-up of a rotating, stratified fluid (2010)
Journal Article
Theoretical analyses and laboratory experiments have been performed on the stability of a flow generated by the differential cyclonic corotation of a flat, rigid disk in a uniformly rotating, linearly stratified fluid contained within a cylindrical t...

Direct visualization of the small hydrophobic protein of human respiratory syncytial virus reveals the structural basis for membrane permeability (2010)
Journal Article
Human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) is the leading cause of lower respiratory tract disease in infants. The HRSV small hydrophobic (SH) protein plays an important role in HRSV pathogenesis, although its mode of action is unclear. Analysis of the...

Computer-based learning objects in healthcare: the student experience (2010)
Journal Article
Web-based computer learning objects, such as Reusable Learning Objects (RLOs), are becoming more commonplace in nursing and medical education. However, evaluation of RLOs specifically has been limited. The aim of the study was to determine how RLOs i... Read More about Computer-based learning objects in healthcare: the student experience.
