Simulating the dynamics of T cell subsets throughout the lifetime (2011)
Book Chapter
Foan, S., Jackson, A. M., Spendlove, I., & Aickelin, U. (2011). Simulating the dynamics of T cell subsets throughout the lifetime. In P. Liò, G. Nicosia, & T. Stibor (Eds.), Artificial immune systems: 10th international conference, ICARIS 2011, Cambridge, UK, July 18-21, 2011: proceedings. Springer

It is widely accepted that the immune system undergoes age-related changes correlating with increased disease in the elderly. T cell subsets have been implicated. The aim of this work is firstly to implement and validate a simulation of T regulatory... Read More about Simulating the dynamics of T cell subsets throughout the lifetime.

In immune system simulation there are two competing simulation approaches: System Dynamics Simulation (SDS) and Agent-Based Simulation (ABS). In the literature there is little guidance on how to choose the best approach for a specific immune problem.... Read More about Systems dynamics or agent-based modelling for immune simulation?.

Audiovisual classification of vocal outbursts in human conversation using long-short-term memory networks (2011)

Class-D audio amplifiers are particularly efficient, and this efficiency has led to their ubiquity in a wide range of modern electronic appliances. Their output takes the form of a high-frequency square wave whose duty cycle (ratio of on-time to off-... Read More about A second-order class-D audio amplifier.
