In vivo models of lung neutrophil activation. Comparison of mice and hamsters (2002)
Journal Article
Corteling, R., Wyss, D., & Trifilieff, A. (2002). In vivo models of lung neutrophil activation. Comparison of mice and hamsters. BMC Pharmacology, 2(1),

BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that both the migration and activation of neutrophils into the airway is of importance in pathological conditions such as pulmonary emphysema. In the present study, we describe in vivo models of lung neutrophil infiltrat... Read More about In vivo models of lung neutrophil activation. Comparison of mice and hamsters.

The NumbersWithNames Program (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Colton, S., & Dennis, L. A. (2002). The NumbersWithNames Program.

We present the NumbersWithNames program which performs data-mining on the Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences to find interesting conjectures in number theory. The program forms conjectures by finding empirical relationships between a sequence chosen... Read More about The NumbersWithNames Program.

'On the Effects of Idiotypic Interactions for Recommendation Communities in Artificial Immune Systems' (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Cayzer, S., & Aickelin, U. (2002). 'On the Effects of Idiotypic Interactions for Recommendation Communities in Artificial Immune Systems'.

It has previously been shown that a recommender based on immune system idiotypic principles can outperform one based on correlation alone. This paper reports the results of work in progress, where we undertake some investigations into the nature of t...

Knowledge discovery in hyper-heuristic using case-based reasoning on course timetabling (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Burke, E., MacCarthy, B. L., Petrovic, S., & Qu, R. (2002). Knowledge discovery in hyper-heuristic using case-based reasoning on course timetabling.

This paper presents a new hyper-heuristic method using Case-Based Reasoning (CBR) for solving course timetabling problems. The term Hyper-heuristics has recently been employed to refer to 'heuristics that choose heuristics' rather than heuristics tha...

Prevalence and abundance of Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia spp. in wild rural rodents from the Mazury Lake District region of Poland (2002)
Journal Article
Bajer, A., Bednarska, M., Pawelczyk, A., Behnke, J. M., Gilbert, F. S., & Sinski, E. (2002). Prevalence and abundance of Cryptosporidium parvum and Giardia spp. in wild rural rodents from the Mazury Lake District region of Poland. Parasitology, 125(1), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0031182002001865

Prevalence and abundance of Cryptosporodium parvum and Giardia spp. were studied in 3 species of rodents from forests and abandoned agricultural fields in N.E. Poland (Clethrionomys glareolus n=459; Microtus arvalis n=274; Apodemus flavicollis n=209)...

Non-Symbolic Fragmentation (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Ashman, H., Coupe, H., Smith, P., Neville-Smith, M., & Gilbert, M. (2002). Non-Symbolic Fragmentation.

This paper reports on the use of non-symbolic fragmentation of data for securing communications. Non-symbolic fragmentation, or NSF, relies on breaking up data into non-symbolic fragments, which are (usually irregularly-sized) chunks whose boundaries... Read More about Non-Symbolic Fragmentation.

'Enhanced Direct and Indirect Genetic Algorithm Approaches for a Mall Layout and Tenant Selection Problem' (2002)
Journal Article
Aickelin, U., & Dowsland, K. (2002). 'Enhanced Direct and Indirect Genetic Algorithm Approaches for a Mall Layout and Tenant Selection Problem'. Journal of Heuristics, 8(5), https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1016536623961

During our earlier research, it was recognised that in order to be successful with an indirect genetic algorithm approach using a decoder, the decoder has to strike a balance between being an optimiser in its own right and finding feasible solutions....

Partnering Strategies for Fitness Evaluation in a Pyramidal Evolutionary Algorithm (2002)
Conference Proceeding
Aickelin, U., & Bull, L. (2002). Partnering Strategies for Fitness Evaluation in a Pyramidal Evolutionary Algorithm.

This paper combines the idea of a hierarchical distributed genetic algorithm with different inter-agent partnering strategies. Cascading clusters of sub-populations are built from bottom up, with higher-level sub-populations optimising larger parts o...

An indirect genetic algorithm for set covering problems (2002)
Journal Article
Aickelin, U. (2002). An indirect genetic algorithm for set covering problems. Journal of the Operational Research Society, 53(10), 1118-1126. https://doi.org/10.1057/palgrave.jors.2601317

This paper presents a new type of genetic algorithm for the set covering problem. It differs from previous evolutionary approaches first because it is an indirect algorithm, i.e. the actual solutions are found by an external decoder function. The gen...
