Computational Modelling of the Neural Systems Involved in Schizophrenia
(2008-04-01)The aim of this thesis is to improve our understanding of the neural systems involved in schizophrenia by suggesting possible avenues for future computational modelling in an attempt to make sense of the vast number of ... -
Computational modelling reveals contrasting effects on reinforcement learning and cognitive flexibility in stimulant use disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder : remediating effects of dopaminergic D2/3 receptor agents
(2019-08-01)RATIONALE: Disorders of compulsivity such as stimulant use disorder (SUD) and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are characterised by deficits in behavioural flexibility, some of which have been captured using probabilistic ... -
Computational Models of Intracellular Signalling and Synaptic Plasticity Induction in the Cerebellum
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-09-03)Many molecules and the complex interactions between them underlie plasticity in the cerebellum. However, the exact relationship between cerebellar plasticity and the different signalling cascades remains unclear. ... -
Computational Neuroscience Methods: Investigating the Relationship between Resting-State EEG Microstate Syntax and fMRI BOLD Signal
(2024-05-20)Simultaneous recording of Electroencephalography (EEG) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has been used consistently in the past as a means of understanding EEG microstate function. EEG microstates are ... -
Computational optimization of CH4/H2/CO blends in a spark-ignition engine using quasi-dimensional combustion model
(2021-11-01)Recent research has proven that computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling in combination with a genetic algorithm (GA) algorithm is an effective methodology to optimize the design of internal combustion (IC) engines. ... -
Computational Properties of Cell Regulatory Pathways through Petri Nets
(Springer Nature, 2016-03)The paper develops a Petri net model of a negative feedback oscillator, Case 2a from Tyson et al. (Curr. Opin. Cell Biol. 15, 221–231, 2003), in order to be able to perform the holonomy decomposition of the automaton derived ... -
Computational Properties of Cerebellar Nucleus Neurons: Effects of Stochastic Ion Channel Gating and Input Location
(2018-10-23)The function of the nervous system is shaped by the refined integration of synaptic inputs taking place at the single neuron level. Gain modulation is a computational principle that is widely used across the brain, in which ... -

Computational Study of a Small Scale Vertical Axis Wind Turbine (VAWT) : Comparative Performance of Various Turbulence Models
(2013-09)The paper presents a numerical approach to study of fluid flow characteristics and to predict performance of wind turbines. The numerical model is based on Finite-volume method (FVM) discretization of unsteady Reynolds-averaged ... -
A Computational Study on Circuit Size vs. Circuit Depth
(2006)We investigate the circuit complexity of classification problems in a machine learning setting, i.e. we attempt to find some rule that allows us to calculate a priori the number of threshold gates that is sufficient to ... -
Computational understanding and manipulation of symmetries
(Springer Nature, 2015-01)For natural and artificial systems with some symmetry structure, computational understanding and manipulation can be achieved without learning by exploiting the algebraic structure. This algebraic coordinatization is based ... -

Computer adaptive assessment and its use in the development of a student model for blended learning
(2006)This paper presents an overview of our work on the--development and testing of an automated feedback tool based on Computer-Adaptive Testing. Computer-adaptive tests (CATs) are software applications that adapt the presentation ... -
A computer adaptive test that facilitates the modification of previously entered responses : An empirical study
(2004)In a computer-adaptive test (CAT), learners are not usually allowed to revise previously entered responses. In this paper, we present findings from our most recent empirical study, which involved two groups of learners and ... -
Computer Adaptive Testing in Higher Education : The Validity and Reliability of the approach
(2008)This paper presents a summary of a six year study into the design, implementation and evaluation of a computer-adaptive test (CAT) for the assessment of Computer Science undergraduates in a UK university. In the first part ... -
Computer method for simulating relative density distribution analysis with application to gravity separations
(1986)A computer-based technique has been developed for the determination of specific gravity distribution profiles. It has been designed to overcome many of the practical and technical problems that are often encountered in ...
