Modelling human memory in robotic companions for personalisation and long-term adaptation in HRI
(IOS Press, 2010)This paper investigates issues of robot's personalization and long-term adaptation in human-robot interaction (HRI). It demonstrates the design and first technical implementation of a HRI showcase in the Robot House at ... -
New results on long secondary periods in red giants
(2009)Approximately 30% of variable red giants have light curves which show a Long Secondary Period (LSP) in addition to their primary oscillation. No model has been proposed that can satisfactorily explain the LSPs. Here we ... -
Molecules and Dust Grains in AGB Stars in Nearby Galaxies—the Influence of Metallicities
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2007)We have obtained infrared spectra of carbon stars in four nearby galaxies—the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds, the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy, and the Fornax dwarf spheroidal galaxy. Our primary aim is to ... -
Fitness cost of virulence differs between the AvrLm1 and AvrLm4 loci in Leptosphaeria maculans (phoma stem canker of oilseed rape)
(2010-02)To investigate whether the reported fitness cost of virulence at the AvrLm4 locus in Leptosphaeria maculans is common to other loci, near-isogenic (NI) isolates differing at AvrLm1 locus were produced in vitro. Fitness of ... -
Effects of fungicides on in vitro spore germination and mycelial growth of the phytopathogens Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa (phoma stem canker of oilseed rape)
(2010-04)BACKGROUND: Phoma stem canker, caused by the coexisting related fungal pathogens Leptosphaeria maculans (Des.) Ces. & de Not and L. biglobosa Shoemaker & H Brun, is a major disease of winter oilseed rape in the UK. Annually, ... -

A case of hypomagnesaemia due to malabsorption, unresponsive to oral administration of magnesium glycerophosphate, but responsive to oral magnesium oxide supplementation
(2001)Oral and intravenous replacement of minerals such as magnesium and calcium are usually straightforward in clinical practice, the choice generally being governed by the preparation most readily available. There are very few ... -
Pharmacists' quality of learning in a diploma/MSc course in pharmacy practice
(1997-03)A rapid expansion of postgraduate courses in pharmacy practice has raised the issue of quality. An understanding of how pharmacists approach their learning is one factor that influences learning outcomes. It would, therefore, ... -
Development of natural HEMP fibre sheet mould composites (NF- SMC)
(2009)The use of natural fibres as reinforcement in polymer composites has generated much interest in recent years due to environmental legislation and improvements on natural fibre performance and process-abilities. This research ... -
An enhanced fuzzy ARM approach for intrusion detection
(2011-04-01)The integration of fuzzy logic with data mining methods such as association rules has achieved interesting results in various digital forensics applications. As a data mining technique, the association rule mining (ARM) ... -
Characterisation of the Interaction of Lactate Dehydrogenase With Tween-20 Using Isothermal Titration Calorimetry, Interfacial Rheometry and Surface Tension Measurements
(2009-08)In this study the nature of the interaction between Tween-20 and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was investigated using isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC). In addition the effects of the protein and surfactant on the ... -
Formation and measurement of process induced disorder during the manufacture of inhalation medicines
(2011-07-01)The development and manufacture of inhalation medicines presents a number of complex challenges to the pharmaceutical scientist. Of paramount importance is delivering the drug particles with an optimal size for deposition ... -
Prioritising refactoring using code bad smells
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01-01)We investigated the relationship between six of Fowler et al.'s Code Bad Smells (Duplicated Code, Data Clumps, Switch Statements, Speculative Generality, Message Chains, and Middle Man) and software faults. In this paper ... -
On the capacity of ASTC-MIMO-OFDM system in a correlated Rayleigh frequency-selective channel
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011-01-01)Algebraic Space-Time Codes (ASTC) for MIMO systems are based on quaternion algebras. Thanks to their algebraic construction, the ASTC codes are full-rank, full-rate and have the non-vanishing determinant property. These ... -
Offshoring and outsourcing business services to central and Eastern Europe : Some empirical and conceptual considerations
(2011-09-01)The global structural shift towards service-based foreign direct investment (FDI) across the world is a relatively recent phenomenon resulting from the increased tradability of services. Although India and Ireland have ...
