Improving User Experience via Motion Sensors in an Ambient Intelligence Scenario (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Lo Re, G., Morana, M., & Ortolani, M. (2013). Improving User Experience via Motion Sensors in an Ambient Intelligence Scenario. In Proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Pervasive Embedded Computing and Communication Systems PECCS (29-34). https://doi.org/10.5220/0004306000290034

Ambient Intelligence (AmI) is a new paradigm in Artificial Intelligence that aims at exploiting the information about the environment state in order to adapt it to the user preferences. AmI systems are usually based on several cheap and unobtrusive s... Read More about Improving User Experience via Motion Sensors in an Ambient Intelligence Scenario.

Discovery of the Closest Hot Subdwarf Binary with White Dwarf Companion (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Geier, S., Marsh, T. R., Dunlap, B. H., Barlow, B. N., Schaffenroth, V., Ziegerer, E., …Napiwotzki, R. (2013). Discovery of the Closest Hot Subdwarf Binary with White Dwarf Companion. In 18th European White Dwarf Workshop (EUROWD12) (373)

We report the discovery of an extremely close, eclipsing binary system. A white dwarf is orbited by a core He-burning compact hot subdwarf star with a period as short as ≃ 0.04987 d making this system the most compact hot subdwarf binary discovered s...

Reachability Problems for Hierarchical Piecewise Constant Derivative Systems (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Bell, P. C., & Chen, S. (2013). Reachability Problems for Hierarchical Piecewise Constant Derivative Systems. In Reachability Problems. RP 2013. Lecture Notes in Computer Science, vol 8169 (46-58). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-41036-9_6

In this paper, we investigate the computability and complexity of reachability problems for two-dimensional hierarchical piecewise constant derivative (HPCD) systems. The main interest in HPCDs stems from the fact that their reachability problem is o... Read More about Reachability Problems for Hierarchical Piecewise Constant Derivative Systems.

On evaluation of a multiscale-based CT image analysis and visualisation algorithm (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Lam, K., Collins, D., Sule-Suso, J., Bhana, R., & Moloney, A. (2013). On evaluation of a multiscale-based CT image analysis and visualisation algorithm. . https://doi.org/10.1109/BMEI.2013.6746924

Development of computed tomography (CT) protocols that minimise radiation dose for specific clinical treatments continues to be a major research focus. Building on the success of an earlier collaborative case study concerning prostate cancer diagnosi...

A computational approach to quantifying axon regeneration in the presence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Lam, K. P., Dempsy, K. P., Smith, W. A., Wright, K. T., Masri, W. E., & Richardson, J. B. (2013). A computational approach to quantifying axon regeneration in the presence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). . https://doi.org/10.1109/ner.2013.6696240

Transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells has shown to encourage functional recovery in animal models of spinal cord injury (SCI) and recent clinical trials suggest possible recovery also in humans. However, two fundamental barriers to the develop... Read More about A computational approach to quantifying axon regeneration in the presence of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).

On 2.5D surface reconstruction of cell cultures (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Smith, W. A., Lam, K. P., Collins, D. J., & Richardson, J. B. (2013). On 2.5D surface reconstruction of cell cultures. In 2013 8th International Symposium on Image and Signal Processing and Analysis (ISPA). https://doi.org/10.1109/ispa.2013.6703742

The domain of image processing for cell microscopy presents non-trivial challenges that must be addressed for consistent image quality. One such challenge concerns the loss of focus as a result of cellular processes, where cell objects may move or ch... Read More about On 2.5D surface reconstruction of cell cultures.

Moments in Time: A Forensic View of Twitter (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Howden, C., Liu, L., Ding, Z., Zhan, Y., & Lam, K. (2013). Moments in Time: A Forensic View of Twitter. In 2013 IEEE International Conference on Green Computing and Communications and IEEE Internet of Things and IEEE Cyber, Physical and Social Computing. https://doi.org/10.1109/greencom-ithings-cpscom.2013.157

Online social networks have become a ubiquitous and important part of the modern, developed society. Modifications in social conduct within these often forced closed spaces are noted, these side effects well documented. The potential for evidence gat...

The Chemical Evolution of Heavy Elements in Globular Clusters (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Shingles, L. J., Karakas, A. I., & Hirschi, R. (2013). The Chemical Evolution of Heavy Elements in Globular Clusters. . https://doi.org/10.1017/s1743921313007059

We present preliminary results from a chemical evolution model that tracks the composition of heavy elements beyond iron in a globular cluster. The heavy elements can be used as tracers of the nucleosynthetic events that defined the formation and evo... Read More about The Chemical Evolution of Heavy Elements in Globular Clusters.
