Using genetically optimized artificial intelligence to improve gameplaying fun for strategical games

Salge, C.; Lipski, C.; Mathiak, B.; Mahlmann, Tobias (ACM Press, 2008)

Fun in computer games depends on many factors. While some factors like uniqueness and humor can only be measured by human subjects, in a strategical game, the rule system is an important and measurable factor. Classics ...

Using genomic information for altering bolting and flowering behaviour of crop plants

Jung, C.; Qian, W.; Büttner, B.; Hohmann, U.; Mutasa-Gottgens, Euphemia; Chia, T.; Müller, A. (2007)

Using global optimization for a microparticle identification problem with noisy data

Bartholomew-Biggs, M.; Ulanowski, Z.; Zakovic, S. (2005)

Using graph theoretic measures to predict the performance of associative memory models

Calcraft, L.; Adams, R.G.; Chen, W.; Davey, N. (ESANN, 2008)

We test a selection of associative memory models built with different connection strategies, exploring the relationship between the structural properties of each network and its pattern-completion performance. It is found ...

Using Grid Middleware to Query a Heterogeneous Distributed Version of the SDSS Database

Xiang, H. (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)

This paper explores the use of Grid technologies for the manipulation of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) database. The paper first provides background information on the SDSS database, OGSA-DAI operations and OGSA-DQP ...

Using group therapy to support eating disordered mothers with their children: the relevance for primary care

Barnett, S.; Buckroyd, J.; Windle, K. (2006)

Using high-fidelity patient simulation to teach physician assistant (PA) students

Soobrah, Ramawad; Brennan, Maureen; Alinier, Guillaume; Cameron, L (2009)

Introduction: PAs are normally life-science graduates enrolled on a two-year postgraduate programme who eventually function as semi-autonomous clinicians under the direct supervision of designated doctors. The introduction ...

Using ice crystal analogues to validate cloud ice parameter retrievals from the CPI ice spectrometer data

Ulanowski, Z.; Connolly, P.; Flynn, M.; Gallagher, M.; Clarke, A.J.M.; Hesse, E. (2004)

USING INTERNATIONAL COLLABORATIONS TO SHAPE RESEARCH AND INNOVATION INTO CARE HOMES IN BRAZIL: A WHITE PAPER

Jacinto, Alessandro F; Goodman, Claire; Gordon , Adam (2020-11-27)

The Brazilian care home sector is underdeveloped, and the limited available evidence suggests that care quality falls below international standards. Development of the Brazilian care home sector could be associated with ...

Using International Recruitment Agents: Risks and Regulation?

Galbraith, Graham; Brabner, Richard (Leadership Foundation for Higher Education, 2013-07)

The expansion of the international student market has coincided with a 'dramatic proliferation' of universities using agents to recruit international students. This practice is controversial due to the apparent conflict ...

Using laboratory and field measurements to constrain a single habit shortwave optical parameterization for cirrus

Smith, Helen; Baran, Anthony; Hesse, Evelyn; Hill, Peter; Connolly, Paul; Webb, Ann (2016-11-01)

A single habit parameterization for the shortwave optical properties of cirrus is presented. The parameterization utilizes a hollow particle geometry, with stepped internal cavities as identified in laboratory and field ...

Using Machine Learning Techniques to Recover Prismatic Cirrus Ice Crystal Size from 2-Dimensional Light Scattering Patterns

Priori,, Daniel; de Sousa, Giseli; Roisenberg, Mauro; Stopford, Chris; Hesse, Evelyn; Davey, Neil; Sun, Yi (2016-08-13)

In this paper, we present a prediction model developed to identify particles size of ice crystals in clouds. The proposed model combines a Feed Forward Multi-Layer Perceptron neural network withBayesian regularization ...

Using MgII to investigate quasars and their black-hole masses

Jarvis, M.J.; McLure, R.J. (Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2004)

We highlight the importance of the Mg II λ2800 emission-line doublet in probing high-redshift quasars and their supermassive black holes. In the SDSS era, where large scale investigations of quasars across the age of the ...

Using modern teaching methods to improve wound care education and learning in clinical practice

Flanagan, Madeleine (2008)

Education has long been considered to be the quick fix to improve clinical practice and is routinely recommended in most clinical audits and ser vice reviews. Yet, despite an exponential rise in tissue viability education ...

Using multi-dimensional methods to understand the development, interpretation and enactment of quality assurance policy within the educational development community

Smith, Karen (2018-01-02)

Policy texts are representations of practice that both reflect and shape the world around them. There is, however, little higher education research that critically analyses the impact of higher education policy on educational ...

Using multi-environment sugar beet variety trials to screen for drought tolerance

Pidgeon, J.D.; Ober, E. S.; Qi, Aiming; Clark, C. J. A.; Royal, A.; Jaggard, K. W. (2006-02-15)

Drought is a major limitation to sugar beet yield in many rainfed areas. Varieties with increased drought tolerance would improve productivity, but breeding specifically for drought tolerance is time-consuming and expensive. ...

Using multimedia case study material for teaching requirements engineering

Jones, S.; Britton, C. (University of Hertfordshire, 1997)
