Connection Strategies in Associative Memory Models
Chen, W.; Maex, R.; Adams, R.G.; Calcraft, L.; Steuber, Volker; Davey, N. (2009)The problem we address in this paper is that of finding effective and parsimonious patterns of connectivity in sparse associative memories. This problem must be addressed in real neuronal systems, so results in artificial ... -

Consensus virtual screening approaches to predict protein ligands
Kukol, A. (2011)In order to exploit the advantages of receptor-based virtual screening, namely time/cost saving and specificity, it is important to rely on algorithms that predict a high number of active ligands at the top ranks of a small ... -
Constructing the Basic Umwelt of Artificial Agents: An Information-Theoretic Approach
Capdepuy, P.; Polani, D.; Nehaniv, C.L. (2007) -
Construction of an Internal Predictive Model by Event Anticipation
Capdepuy, P.; Polani, D.; Nehaniv, C.L. (2007)We introduce information-theoretic tools that can be used in an autonomous agent for constructing an internal predictive model based on event anticipation. This model relies on two different kinds of predictive relationships: ... -
Consumer involvement in health research : a UK scoping and survey
Mathie, Elspeth; Wilson, Patricia; Poland, Fiona; McNeilly, Elaine; Howe, Amanda; Staniszewska, Sophie; Cowe, Marion; Munday, Diane; Goodman, Claire (2014-01)Consumer involvement or patient and public involvement (PPI) in health research is a UK policy imperative and a prerequisite for many funders. PPI in research is defined as research carried out with or being carried out ... -
Contactless Camera-Based Heart Rate and Respiratory Rate Monitoring Using AI on Hardware
Kolosov, Dimitrios; Kelefouras, Vasilios; Kourtessis, Pandelis; Mporas, Iosif (2023-05-07)Detecting vital signs by using a contactless camera-based approach can provide several advantages over traditional clinical methods, such as lower financial costs, reduced visit times, increased comfort, and enhanced safety ... -
Context-sensitivity in IPET for measurement-based timing analysis
Zolda, M.; Bünte, S.; Kirner, Raimund (Springer Nature, 2010)The Implicit Path Enumeration Technique (IPET) has become widely accepted as a powerful technique to compute upper bounds on the Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) of time-critical software components. While the technique ... -
Contributions of treatment centre and patient characteristics to patient-reported experience of haemodialysis: A national cross-sectional study
Hawkins, Janine; Smeeton, Nigel; Busby, Amanda; Wellsted, David; Rider, Beth; Jones, Julia; Steinkamp, Retha; Stannard, Catherine; Gair, Rachel; Van Der Veer, Sabine; Corps, Claire; Farrington, Kenneth (2021-04-14)OBJECTIVES: To examine the relative importance of patient and centre level factors in determining self-reported experience of care in patients with advanced kidney disease treated by maintenance haemodialysis (HD). DESIGN: ... -
Controllable hydrophobization of sands with self-healing polymeric microcapsules
Qi, Rui; Lin, Hongjie; Lourenco, Sergio; Kanellopoulos, Antonios (2024-05-18)Hydrophobized soils have functional hydrophobic coatings to delay or restrict water infiltration and thus prevent infrastructure failure and long-term degradation. Over time, hydrophobized soils will be subjected to ... -
Controlled Actuation of Self-Propelled Droplets
Coudron, Loic; Lemenu, Clément; Lemaine, Kevin; McCluskey, Daniel; Tan, Christabel; Munro, Ian; Holdo, Arne; Tracey, Mark; Johnston, Ian (2020-10-09)In this paper we present controlled self-propelled actuation of droplets employing Laplace pressure gradients between two non-parallel superhydrophobic plates. For small angles (cos β ≈ 1) a simplification of available ... -
