A Novel Ensemble Machine Learning and an Evolutionary Algorithm in Modeling the COVID-19 Epidemic and Optimizing Government Policies
(2022-02-04)The spread of the COVID-19 disease has prompted a need for immediate reaction by governments to curb the pandemic. Many countries have adopted different policies and studies are performed to understand the effect of each ... -
A novel fast inter mode decision algorithm based on statistic and adaptive adjustment for H.264/AVC
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007)The advanced video coding (AVC) standard H.264 achieves better video compression performance compared with the previous standards, and one of major features is variable block sizes based mode decision (MD). However, the ... -
Novel fluorescent amphiphilic poly(allylamine) and their supramacromolecular self-assemblies in aqueous media.
(2012)Fluorescent amphiphilic polymers were produced by grafting different types and levels of hydrophobic pendant groups with intrinsic fluorescent properties (fluorenylmethoxy carbonyl (Fmoc), dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl ... -
Novel gene loci associated with susceptibility or cryptic quantitative resistance to Pyrenopeziza brassicae in Brassica napus
(2023-03-23)Key message Quantitative disease resistance (QDR) controls the association of the light leaf spot pathogen with Brassica napus; four QDR loci that were in linkage disequilibrium and eight gene expression markers were ... -
Novel glass-ceramic composition as sealant for SOFCs
(2014-12-10)This work deals with the design, the characterization, and testing of a novel glass-ceramic to be used as sealant for planar solid oxide fuel cells and its compatibility with Mn1.5Co1.5O4-coated Crofer22APU. Thermal, ... -
Novel glycopolymer hydrogels as mucosa-mimetic materials to reduce animal testing
(2015-07-21)Glycopolymer hydrogels capable of mimicking mucosal tissue in mucoadhesion testing have been designed. Liquid formulations containing mucoadhesive polymers were found to be retained on these tissues to the same extent as ... -
A novel healthcare resource allocation decision support tool: A forecasting-simulation-optimization approach
(2020-02-03)The increasing pressures on the healthcare system in the UK are well documented. The solution lies in making best use of existing resources (e.g. beds), as additional funding is not available. Increasing demand and capacity ... -
A Novel High Linearity and Low Power Folded CMOS LNA for UWB Receivers
(2018-03)This paper presents a high linearity and low power Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) for Ultra-Wideband (UWB) receivers based on CHRT 0.18μm CMOS technology. In this work, the folded topology is adopted in order to reduce the ... -
A novel hybrid energy system combined with solar-road and soil-regenerator: Dynamic model and operational performance
(2018-01-15)Solar roads are emergent and huge energy source in traffic domains. To improve the energy utilization efficiency of a solar road, a novel solar-road and soil-regenerator hybrid energy system in combination with conventional ... -
A Novel Instrument for Studying the Flow Behaviour of Erythrocytes through Microchannels Simulating Human
(1997)A novel instrument has been developed to study the microrheology of erythrocytes as they flow through channels of dimensions similar to human blood capillaries. The channels are produced in silicon substrates using ... -
Novel instrumentation and biomedical applications of very near-infrared fluorescence
(1993-04)A high wavelength fluorescent probe, Nile Red, was added to four proteins, viz., bovine albumin, alpha1-acid glycoprotein, beta-lactoglobulin and ovomucoid. Nile Red showed an enhancement in fluorescence and a shift in ... -
Novel integrated agricultural land management approach provides sustainable biomass feedstocks for bioplastics and supports the UK’s “net-zero” target
(2020-12-28)We investigate the potential in producing biodegradable bio-plastics to support the emergent 'net-zero' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions targets in the UK. A 'cradle to grave' life cycle assessment was developed to evaluate ... -
Novel markers reveal subpopulations of subplate neurons in the murine cerebral cortex
(2009-08-01)The subplate lays the foundation of the developing cerebral cortex, and abnormalities have been suggested to contribute to various brain developmental disorders. The causal relationship between cellular pathologies and ... -
A novel method for computing natural path for robot assisted movements in synthetic worlds
(IOS Press, 2001)Several methods and theories have been used to create a smooth trajectory for machine assisted physiotherapy [1]. We have introduced a novel theory to create such a smooth trajectory. The mathematical model introduced in ... -
A novel method of non-clinical dispatch is associated with a higher rate of critical Helicopter Emergency Medical Service intervention
(2018-09-25)Background - Helicopter Emergency Medical Services (HEMS) are a scarce resource that can provide advanced emergency medical care to unwell or injured patients. Accurate tasking of HEMS is required to incidents where advanced ... -
