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...

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...

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.

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...
