A new energy-efficient clustering protocol for wireless sensor networks based on Network Function Virtualisation (NFV) (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Nuaimi, R. (2016, October). A new energy-efficient clustering protocol for wireless sensor networks based on Network Function Virtualisation (NFV). Presented at 6th International Conference on Information Communication and Management (ICICM), UK

In wireless sensor networks, minimising energy consumption is the most important challenge that should be considered in their design. Routing consumes a considerable amount of energy in the communication to perform various functions such as clusterin...

Performance of grey level statistic features versus Gabor wavelet for screening MRI brain tumors : a comparative study (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Hasan, A., Meziane, F., & Jalab, H. (2016, October). Performance of grey level statistic features versus Gabor wavelet for screening MRI brain tumors : a comparative study. Presented at 6th International Conference on Information Communication and Management, University of Hertfordshire, Hatfield, UK

Medical imaging technologies have an important role in the care of all human’s organs and disease entities, where they are used widely for the effective diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of the disease. The MRI has been among the most important of... Read More about Performance of grey level statistic features versus Gabor wavelet for screening MRI brain tumors : a comparative study.

Quantifying the performance of a passive deaerator in a gas-fired closed loop domestic wet central heating system (2016)
Journal Article

In the UK, approximately 16% of the energy use can be attributed to domestic wet central heating systems. Government financial support and advances in technology have led to boilers becoming more efficient and a range of technologies are now availabl...

Mining the crime survey to support crime profiling (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Wu, J., Meziane, F., Saraee, M., Aspin, R., & Hope, T. (2016, October). Mining the crime survey to support crime profiling. Presented at 2016 International Workshop on Computational Intelligence for Multimedia Understanding (IWCIM), Reggio Calabria, Italy

Crime surveys are conducted to record crimes by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) in the United Kingdom every year. They contain rich information about crime. They record the crimes that are not reported to the police. However, their exploitat... Read More about Mining the crime survey to support crime profiling.

The skull of Epidolops ameghinoi from the early Eocene Itaboraí fauna, southeastern Brazil, and the affinities of the extinct marsupialiform order Polydolopimorphia (2016)
Journal Article

The skull of the polydolopimorphian marsupialiform Epidolops ameghinoi is described
in detail for the first time, based on a single well-preserved cranium and associated left
and right dentaries plus additional craniodental fragments, all from the... Read More about The skull of Epidolops ameghinoi from the early Eocene Itaboraí fauna, southeastern Brazil, and the affinities of the extinct marsupialiform order Polydolopimorphia.

Environmental and anthropogenic drivers of connectivity patterns : a basis for prioritizing conservation efforts for threatened populations (2016)
Journal Article

Ecosystem fragmentation and habitat loss have been the focus of landscape management due to restrictions on contemporary connectivity and dispersal of populations. Here, we used an individual approach to determine the drivers of genetic differentiati...

Disulfide-activated protein kinase G Iα regulates cardiac diastolic relaxation and fine-tunes the Frank–Starling response (2016)
Journal Article

The Frank–Starling mechanism allows the amount of blood entering the heart from the veins to be precisely matched with the amount pumped out to the arterial circulation. As the heart fills with blood during diastole, the myocardium is stretched and o...

Irreversibility analysis for reactive third-grade fluid flow and heat transfer with convective wall cooling (2016)
Journal Article

Inherent irreversibility in the flow of a reactive third grade fluid though a channel with convective heating is examined. It is well known that heat dissipated from the exothermic chemical reaction passes through fluid in an irreversible manner and...
