“Omics”-Informed drug and biomarker discovery : opportunities, challenges and future perspectives (2016)
Journal Article

The pharmaceutical industry faces unsustainable program failure despite significant increases in investment. Dwindling discovery pipelines, rapidly expanding R&D budgets and increasing regulatory control, predict significant gaps in the future drug m...

Sexual selection impacts brain anatomy in frogs and toads (2016)
Journal Article
and toads. Ecology and Evolution, 6(19), 7070-7079. https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.2459

Natural selection is a major force in the evolution of vertebrate brain size, but the role
of sexual selection in brain size evolution remains enigmatic. At least two opposing
schools of thought predict a relationship between sexual selection and b... Read More about Sexual selection impacts brain anatomy in frogs and toads.

Modelling of the water retention characteristic of deformable soils (2016)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Sheng, D., Ross, K., & Toll, D. (2016). Modelling of the water retention characteristic of deformable soils. E3S Web of Conferences, 9(2016), #11005. https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/20160911005

A recently proposed water retention model has been further developed for the application on unsaturated deformable soils. The physical mechanisms underpinning the water retention characteristic of soils was at first described in terms of traditional...

Taking a Passivhaus certified retrofit system onto scaled-up zero carbon trajectory (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The paper describes collaboration a between industryand academia in enhancing a Passivhaus certifiedsystem for retrofit and putting it onto a zero carbontrajectory. The system was initially developed for onsite stick construction, using fixed insulat... Read More about Taking a Passivhaus certified retrofit system onto scaled-up zero carbon trajectory.

Post-glacial colonisation of Europe by the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus : evidence of a northern refugium and dispersal with humans (2016)
Journal Article

The wood mouse Apodemus sylvaticus is an opportunistic rodent that is found throughout most of
the European mainland. It is present on many islands around the margins of the continent and in
northern Africa. The species has been the subject of prev... Read More about Post-glacial colonisation of Europe by the wood mouse, Apodemus sylvaticus : evidence of a northern refugium and dispersal with humans.

The peril of proportions: robust niche indices for categorical data (2016)
Journal Article
Pierotti, M. E., Martín-Fernández, J. A., & Barceló-Vidal, C. (2017). The peril of proportions: robust niche indices for categorical data. Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 8(2), 223-231. https://doi.org/10.1111/2041-210X.12656

Indices of niche breadth and niche overlap for categorical data are typically expressed in terms of proportions of resources use. These are unit-sum constrained data; hence, direct application of standard general linear modelling methods to such indi...

Predicting binaural speech intelligibility from signals estimated by a blind source separation algorithm (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Liu, Q., Tang, Y., Jackson, P., & Wang, W. (2016, September). Predicting binaural speech intelligibility from signals estimated by a blind source separation algorithm. Presented at 17th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association, INTERSPEECH 2016, San Francisco, USA

State-of-the-art binaural objective intelligibility measures (OIMs) require individual source signals for making intelligibility predictions, limiting their usability in real-time online operations. This limitation may be addressed by a blind source... Read More about Predicting binaural speech intelligibility from signals estimated by a blind source separation algorithm.

Glimpse-based metrics for predicting speech intelligibility in additive noise conditions (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Tang, Y., & Cooke, M. (2016, September). Glimpse-based metrics for predicting speech intelligibility in additive noise conditions. Presented at 17th Annual Conference of the International Speech Communication Association, INTERSPEECH 2016, San Francisco, USA

The glimpsing model of speech perception in noise operates by recognising those speech-dominant spectro-temporal regions, or glimpses, that survive energetic masking; hence, a speech recognition component is an integral part of the model. The current... Read More about Glimpse-based metrics for predicting speech intelligibility in additive noise conditions.

A collaborative environment for energy-efficient buildings within the context of a neighbourhood (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Bassanino, M., Fernando, T., Wu, K., Ghazirmirsaeid, S., Klobut, K., Mäkeläinen, T., & Hukkalainen, M. (2016, September). A collaborative environment for energy-efficient buildings within the context of a neighbourhood. Presented at 11th European Conference on Product and Process Modelling, Limassol, Cypruse

This positioning paper explains our approach to creating a collaborative environment to assist
multi-disciplinary teams in designing better energy efficient buildings with consideration of their
neighborhoods. A scenario-driven approach was used he... Read More about A collaborative environment for energy-efficient buildings within the context of a neighbourhood.
