Role of vertical transmission ofToxoplasma gondiiin prevalence of infection (2016)
Journal Article
Hide, G. (2016). Role of vertical transmission ofToxoplasma gondiiin prevalence of infection. Expert Review of Anti-infective Therapy, 14(3), https://doi.org/10.1586/14787210.2016.1146131

The parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, is a highly successful pathogen that infects around 30% of the global human population. Additionally, it is able to infect all warm blooded animals with high prevalence. This is surprising as it is a parasite of the c...

Simulated annealing least squares twin support vector machine (SA-LSTSVM) for pattern classification (2016)
Journal Article
Sartakhti, J., Afrabandpey, H., & Saraee, M. (2017). Simulated annealing least squares twin support vector machine (SA-LSTSVM) for pattern classification. Soft Computing, 21(15), 4361-4373. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00500-016-2067-4

Least squares twin support vector machine
(LSTSVM) is a relatively new version of support vector
machine (SVM) based on non-parallel twin hyperplanes.
Although, LSTSVM is an extremely efficient and fast algorithm for binary classification, its p... Read More about Simulated annealing least squares twin support vector machine (SA-LSTSVM) for pattern classification.

A novel dimethylformamide (DMF) free bar-cast method to deposit organolead perovskite thin films with improved stability (2016)
Journal Article

We report a solvent-free approach to synthesizing organolead
perovskites by using solid state reactions to coat perovskite crystals
onto Al2O3 or TiO2 nanoparticles followed by addition of terpineol
affording perovskite inks. We have bar cast thes... Read More about A novel dimethylformamide (DMF) free bar-cast method to deposit organolead perovskite thin films with improved stability.

Automated segmentation of tumours in MRI brain scans (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Hasan, A., Meziane, F., & Khadim, M. (2016, February). Automated segmentation of tumours in MRI brain scans. Presented at the 9th International Joint Conference on Biomedical Engineering Systems and Technologies, Rome, Italy

The research reported in this paper concerns the development of a novel automated algorithm to identify and
segment brain tumours in MRI scans. The input is the patient's scan slices and the output is a subset of the
slices that includes the tumour... Read More about Automated segmentation of tumours in MRI brain scans.

Bacterial gliding fluid dynamics on a layer of non-Newtonian slime : perturbation and numerical study (2016)
Journal Article
Ali, N., Asghar, Z., Beg, A., & Sajid, M. (2016). Bacterial gliding fluid dynamics on a layer of non-Newtonian slime : perturbation and numerical study. Journal of Theoretical Biology, 397, 22-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2016.02.011

Gliding bacteria are an assorted group of rod-shaped prokaryotes that adhere to and glide on certain layers of ooze slime attached to a substratum. Due to the absence of organelles of motility, such as flagella, the gliding motion is caused by the wa...

Environmental magnetism as a dating proxy for recent overbank sediments of (peri-)industrial regions in the Czech Republic and UK (2016)
Journal Article
sediments of (peri-)industrial regions in the Czech Republic and UK. CATENA, 142, 21-35. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.catena.2016.02.008

Twenty five floodplain sediment profiles from seven rivers in eastern Czech Republic and three in north west
England were collected to examine the hypothesis that magnetic enhancement in recent sediments is predominantly
of anthropogenic origin and... Read More about Environmental magnetism as a dating proxy for recent overbank sediments of (peri-)industrial regions in the Czech Republic and UK.
