Using serum CA125 to assess the activity of potential cytostatic agents in ovarian cancer
(2014-05)Objective: New strategies are required to rapidly identify novel cytostatic agents before embarking on large randomized trials. This study investigates whether a change in rate of rise (slope) of serum CA125 from before ... -
Using Simple Neural Networks to Correct Errors in Optical Data Transmission.
(De Montfort University, 2008)We have demonstrated the applicability of neural-network-based systems to the problem of reducing the effects of signal distortion, and shown that such a system has the potential to reduce the bit-error-rate in the ... -
Using simulation modelling to transform hospital planning and management to address health inequalities
(2024-04)Health inequalities are a perennial concern for policymakers and in service delivery to ensure fair and equitable access and outcomes. As health inequalities are socially influenced by employment, income, and education, ... -
Using simulation to on-board clinical staff joining a new pediatric and women’s hospital
(2012)Introduction/Rationale Since the 1990s, simulation has been increasingly employed in healthcare as an educational strategy to supplement other types of instruction. This educational strategy is increasingly accepted as an ... -
Using single layer networks for discrete, sequential data: an example from natural language processing
(1997)Natural Language Processing (NLP) is concerned with processing ordinary, unrestricted text. This work takes a new approach to a traditional NLP task, using neural computing methods. A parser which has been successfully ... -
Using single layer networks for discrete, sequential data: an example from natural language processing. [extended version]
(University of Hertfordshire, 1996)Supervised, feed-forward networks will, in general, need more than one layer to process data. However, if they can be used, single layer networks offer advantages of functional transparency and operational speed. Now, in ... -

(2013-08-20)Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn have proven to be game changers in business-to-customer marketing, opening up whole new ways of enthusing the customer for your products or services. Ross Brennan and Robin Croft, both marketing ... -
Using specialist software for qualitative data analysis
(Educational Studies Association of Ireland (ESAI), 2007)This paper is divided in four parts. The first part provides some background information on the analysis of non-numerical data, specifically the content analysis of text, including approaches such as 'grounded theory' and ... -
Using Spoken and Written Qualitative Methods to Explore Children's and Young People's Food and Eating Practices
(2012-09)Research examining children’s and young people’s food and eating practices has become more common place in recent years. Qualitative methods can be useful in such sense-making research, where an individual’s narrative is ... -
Using Story Re-tell in Bilingual Assessment
(2004)Narrative has been used in the assessment of children’s language skills for some time but rarely with bilingual children (though see Gutiérrez-Clellen 2002). This paper examines narratives of a sample of German/English ... -
Using Structured Chemistry Examinations (SChemEs) as an assessment method to improve undergraduate students' generic, practical and laboratory-based skills
(2014)Increase in tuition fees means there will be renewed pressure on universities to provide “value for money” courses that provide extensive training in both subject-specific and generic skills. For graduates of chemistry ... -
Using StudyNet to facilitate students’ learning
(2004)This article discusses the utilisation of StudyNet to facilitate students’ learning on a Level 3 Physiotherapy module. The students’ perceptions of StudyNet and its usage were evaluated by questionnaire and also by an ... -
Using supermarket loyalty card data to explore exported yam marketing performance and prospects in the UK
(2014-05-01)Stakeholders operating within the yam export market lack shopper insights to formulate effective marketing and supply chain management strategies. This paper aims to show how supermarket loyalty card data on yam shoppers ... -
Using system dynamics modelling to assess the economic efficiency of innovations in the public sector - a systematic review
(2022-02-10)Background: Decision-makers for public policy are increasingly utilising systems approaches such as system dynamics (SD) modelling, which test alternative interventions or policies for their potential impact while accounting ... -
Using temporal information distance to locate sensorimotor experience in a metric space
(2005)Information distance is used to measure how similar sensorimotor experience is to past experience--within a certain temporal horizon. Applied to groups--of sensors this gives a mathematical metric on sensorimotor experience ... -
Using testing semantics to show safety and liveness in the development of CCS specifications
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)Where formal methods are used in industrial software engineering, it is primarily as notation or language - an aid to the software engineer in thinking about and understanding the problem. What we address in this paper is ... -
