Bioprospecting novel hemicellulases from the gut microbiota of the common black slug (Arion ater) (2022)
Thesis
Madubuike, H. Bioprospecting novel hemicellulases from the gut microbiota of the common black slug (Arion ater). (Thesis). University of Salford

The attendant effect of continuous fossil use on the environment and energy security has prompted the search for a suitable energy alternative devoid of negative characteristics. Lignocellulose-biomass (LCB) is a renewable source of carbon for the de... Read More about Bioprospecting novel hemicellulases from the gut microbiota of the common black slug (Arion ater).

Comparison of Lattice Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes for Zonal Turbulence Simulation of Urban Wind Flows (2022)
Journal Article
Camps Santasmasas, M., Zhang, X., Parslew, B., Lane-Serff, G. F., Millar, J., & Revell, A. (2022). Comparison of Lattice Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes for Zonal Turbulence Simulation of Urban Wind Flows. Fluids, 7(6), 181. https://doi.org/10.3390/fluids7060181

In modelling turbulent flow around buildings, the computational domain needs to be much larger than the immediate neighbourhood of the building, resulting in computational costs that are excessive for many engineering applications. Two nested models... Read More about Comparison of Lattice Boltzmann and Navier-Stokes for Zonal Turbulence Simulation of Urban Wind Flows.

A scoping review of digital twins in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic (2022)
Journal Article
Khan, A., Milne-Ives, M., Meinert, E., Iyawa, G., Jones, R., & Josephraj, A. (2022). A scoping review of digital twins in the context of the Covid-19 pandemic. Biomedical Engineering and Computational Biology, 13, https://doi.org/10.1177/11795972221102115

Background: Digital Twins (DTs), virtual copies of physical entities, are a promising tool to help manage and predict outbreaks of Covid-19. By providing a detailed model of each patient, DTs can be used to determine what method of care will be most...

Magneto-convective flow through a porous enclosure with Hall current and Thermal radiation effects : numerical study (2022)
Journal Article
Venkatadri, K., Beg, O., & Kuharat, S. (2022). Magneto-convective flow through a porous enclosure with Hall current and Thermal radiation effects : numerical study. European Physical Journal - Special Topics, https://doi.org/10.1140/epjs/s11734-022-00592-9

This paper reports the numerical study of magnetohydrodynamic radiative-convective flow in a square cavity containing a porous medium with Hall currents. This study is relevant to hydromagnetic fuel cell design and thermofluidic dynamics of complex...

Bacterial adaptation to venom in snakes and arachnida (2022)
Journal Article
Esmaeilishirazifard, E., Usher, L., Trim, C., Denise, H., Sangal, V., Tyson, G., …Moschos, S. (2022). Bacterial adaptation to venom in snakes and arachnida. Microbiology Spectrum, 10(3), https://doi.org/10.1128/spectrum.02408-21

Notwithstanding their 3 to 5% mortality, the 2.7 million envenomation-related injuries occurring annually—predominantly across Africa, Asia, and Latin America—are also major causes of morbidity. Venom toxin-damaged tissue will develop infections in s... Read More about Bacterial adaptation to venom in snakes and arachnida.

From skin mechanics to tactile neural coding: Predicting afferent neural dynamics during active touch and perception (2022)
Journal Article
Wei, Y., Mcglone, F., Marshall, A., Makdani, A., Zou, Z., Ren, L., & Wei, G. (2022). From skin mechanics to tactile neural coding: Predicting afferent neural dynamics during active touch and perception. IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 69(2), 3748-3759. https://doi.org/10.1109/TBME.2022.3177006

First order cutaneous neurons allow object recognition, texture discrimination, and sensorimotor feedback. Their function is well-investigated under passive stimulation while their role during active touch or sensorimotor control is understudied. To...

Development of an evolutionary cost sensitive decision tree induction algorithm (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Kassim, M., & Vadera, S. (2022, May). Development of an evolutionary cost sensitive decision tree induction algorithm. Presented at 2022 IEEE 2nd International Maghreb Meeting of the Conference on Sciences and Techniques of Automatic Control and Computer Engineering (MI-STA), Sabratha, Libya

This paper develops an Evolutionary Elliptical Cost-Sensitive Decision Tree Algorithm (EECSDT) which learns cost-sensitive non-linear decision trees for multiclass problems. EECSDT is developed by formulating the problem as an optimization task in wh... Read More about Development of an evolutionary cost sensitive decision tree induction algorithm.
