Optimized reprocessing of documents using stored processor state (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Ollis, J. A., Brailsford, D. F., & Bagley, S. R. (2010). Optimized reprocessing of documents using stored processor state.

Variable Data Printing (VDP) allows customised versions of material such as advertising flyers to be readily produced. However, VDP is often extremely demanding of computing resources because, even when much of the material stays invariant from one d...

Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling (2010)
Book Chapter
Obit, J. H., & Landa-Silva, D. (2010). Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling. In V. Sgurev, M. Hadjiski, & J. Kacprzyk (Eds.), Intelligent systems: from theory to practice. Springer

The great deluge algorithm explores neighbouring solutions which are accepted if they are better than the best solution so far or if the detriment in quality is no larger than the current water level. In the original great deluge method, the water le... Read More about Computational study of non-linear great deluge for university course timetabling.

Transforming legal aid: access to criminal defence services (2010)
Book
Kemp, V. (2010). Transforming legal aid: access to criminal defence services. Ministry of Justice

With legal aid reform having the potential to change the organisation of criminal defence services a survey of users in the criminal justice system was undertaken. The findings helped to highlight potential barriers to legal advicea and further resea... Read More about Transforming legal aid: access to criminal defence services.

Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Hu, L., & Hutton, G. (2010). Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man.

The standard approach to proving compiler correctness for concurrent languages requires the use of multiple translations into an intermediate process calculus. We present a simpler approach that avoids the need for such an intermediate language, usin... Read More about Compiling concurrency correctly: cutting out the middle man.

Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Glaab, E., Garibaldi, J. M., & Krasnogor, N. (2010). Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples.

Despite recent advances in DNA chip technology current microarray gene expression studies are still affected by high noise levels, small sample sizes and large numbers of uninformative genes. Combining microarray data with cellular pathway data by us... Read More about Learning pathway-based decision rules to classify microarray cancer samples.

Association between milk yield and serial locomotion score assessments in UK dairy cows (2010)
Journal Article
Archer, S. C., Green, M. J., & Huxley, J. (2010). Association between milk yield and serial locomotion score assessments in UK dairy cows. Journal of Dairy Science, 93(9), https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2010-3062

This study investigated the effect of lameness, measured by serial locomotion scoring over a 12-mo period, on the milk yield of UK dairy cows. The data set consisted of 11,735 records of test-day yield and locomotion scores collected monthly from 1,4...

Mathematical modelling of whole chromosome replication (2010)
Journal Article
de Moura, A. P., Retkute, R., Hawkins, M., & Nieduszynski, C. A. (2010). Mathematical modelling of whole chromosome replication. Nucleic Acids Research, 38(17), https://doi.org/10.1093/nar/gkq343

All chromosomes must be completely replicated prior to cell division, a requirement that demands the activation of a sufficient number of appropriately distributed DNA replication origins. Here we investigate how the activity of multiple origins on e... Read More about Mathematical modelling of whole chromosome replication.

Editorial – Using sexual identity labels to move beyond them (2010)
Journal Article
das Nair, R. (2010). Editorial – Using sexual identity labels to move beyond them. Psychology of Sexualities Section Review, 1(1),

This is the first issue of the Psychology of Sexualities Review. As mentioned in my previous Editorial, this change in name reflects the change made to the Section’s name, following a ballot of the Section’s membership. I trust that the papers in thi...

Sortase anchored proteins of Streptococcus uberis play major roles in the pathogenesis of bovine mastitis in dairy cattle (2010)
Journal Article
Leigh, J. A., Egan, S. A., Ward, P. N., Field, T. R., & Coffey, T. J. (2010). Sortase anchored proteins of Streptococcus uberis play major roles in the pathogenesis of bovine mastitis in dairy cattle. Veterinary Research, 41(5), Article 63. https://doi.org/10.1051/vetres/2010036

Streptococcus uberis, strain 0140J, contains a single copy sortase A (srtA), encoding a transamidase capable of covalently anchoring specific proteins to peptidoglycan. Unlike the wild-type, an isogenic mutant carrying an inactivating ISS1 insertion...

Gendered Performances in a Male-Dominated Subculture: 'Girl Racers', Car Modification and the Quest for Masculinity (2010)
Journal Article

This paper discusses female participation in the male-dominated 'boy racer' culture. Little is known about girls who join male-dominated subcultures while studies of car cultures have tended to describe girls as peripheral participants and emphasise...

Pseudomonas aeruginosaHomoserine Lactone Activates Store-operated cAMP and Cystic Fibrosis Transmembrane Regulator-dependent Cl?Secretion by Human Airway Epithelia (2010)
Journal Article

The ubiquitous bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa frequently causes hospital-acquired infections. P. aeruginosa also infects the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and secretes N-(3-oxo-dodecanoyl)-S-homoserine lactone (3O-C12) to regulate bacteria...

The new family Diapheridae, a new species of Diaphera Albers from Thailand, and the position of the Diapheridae within a molecular phylogeny of the Streptaxoidea (Pulmonata: Stylommatophora) (2010)
Journal Article

The Streptaxoidea are an ancient and species diverse group that is poorly understood. Examination of the reproductive anatomy of Diaphera showed it to be notably distinct from that of most other streptaxid genera but to exhibit similarities with the...
