The reconstruction of fragmented artefacts is a tedious process that consumes many valuable work hours of scholars' time. We believe that such work can be made more efficient via new techniques in interactive virtual environments. The purpose of this...

The edge wave on an elastically supported Kirchhoff plate (2014)
Journal Article

This Letter deals with an analysis of bending edge waves propagating along the free edge of a Kirchhoff plate supported by a Winkler foundation. The presence of a foundation leads to a non-zero cut-off frequency for this wave, along with a local mini... Read More about The edge wave on an elastically supported Kirchhoff plate.

Journal Article
(2014). Mapping on Surfaces: Supporting Collaborative Work Using Interactive Tabletop. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-319-10166-8_29

We investigate the usability of our mindmap application using a tabletop integrated with four Android tablets in the context of support for collaborative work. This paper presents two empirical studies that compares the conventional paper-and-pen app... Read More about Mapping on Surfaces: Supporting Collaborative Work Using Interactive Tabletop.

BacillusRegNet: a transcriptional regulation database and analysis platform for Bacillus species. (2014)
Journal Article

As high-throughput technologies become cheaper and easier to use, raw sequence data and corresponding annotations for many organisms are becoming available. However, sequence data alone is not sufficient to explain the biological behaviour of organis...

Potential of social media to determine hay fever seasons and drug efficacy (2014)
Journal Article
Kyriacou, & De Quincey. (2014). Potential of social media to determine hay fever seasons and drug efficacy

This working paper describes an exploratory study that has collected and analysed over 130,000 UK geolocated tweets from June 2012 to April 2013 that contained instances of the words “hayfever” and “hay fever”. Preliminary results indicate that the t... Read More about Potential of social media to determine hay fever seasons and drug efficacy.

Where antibiotic resistance mutations meet quorum-sensing (2014)
Journal Article
Channon. (2014). Where antibiotic resistance mutations meet quorum-sensing. Microbial Cell, 250 - 252. https://doi.org/10.15698/mic2014.07.158

We do not need to rehearse the grim story of the global rise of antibiotic resistant microbes. But what if it were possible to control the rate with which antibiotic resistance evolves by de novo mutation? It seems that some bacteria may already do e...

Traditionally, petroleum (oil) has been the main source of energy for the U.S. national economy and transportation sector. In 2010, 83% of all the energy required by the United States was provided by fossil fuel sources. The energy use in the United...

We rigorously derive the leading-order terms in asymptotic expansions for the scattered electric and magnetic fields in the presence of a small object at distances that are large compared with its size. Our expansions hold for fixed wavenumber when t... Read More about The perturbation of electromagnetic fields at distances that are large compared with the object's size.

Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell-cell interactions (2014)
Journal Article
Channon, A. (2014). Mutation rate plasticity in rifampicin resistance depends on Escherichia coli cell-cell interactions. Nature communications, 3742 -?. https://doi.org/10.1038/ncomms4742

Variation of mutation rate at a particular site in a particular genotype, in other words mutation rate plasticity (MRP), can be caused by stress or ageing. However, mutation rate control by other factors is less well characterized. Here we show that...
