The challenges of access to local finance for PPP infrastructure project delivery in Nigeria (2020)
Journal Article

Purpose
This study explores the challenges of access to finance from local financial institutions (LFIs), i.e. local banks, for public–private partnership (PPP) infrastructure project delivery in Nigeria. The aim is to provide useful insights that c... Read More about The challenges of access to local finance for PPP infrastructure project delivery in Nigeria.

3D DESI-MS lipid imaging in a xenograft model of glioblastoma : a proof of principle (2020)
Journal Article

Desorption electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (DESI-MS) can image hundreds of molecules in a 2D tissue section, making it an ideal tool for mapping tumour heterogeneity. Tumour lipid metabolism has gained increasing attention over the past dec... Read More about 3D DESI-MS lipid imaging in a xenograft model of glioblastoma : a proof of principle.

Controlling of pneumatic muscle actuator systems by Parallel Structure of Neural Network and Proportional Controllers (PNNP) (2020)
Journal Article

This article proposed a novel controller structure to track the nonlinear behavior of the pneumatic muscle actuator (PMA), such as the elongation for the extensor actuator and bending for the bending PMA. The proposed controller consists neural netwo... Read More about Controlling of pneumatic muscle actuator systems by Parallel Structure of Neural Network and Proportional Controllers (PNNP).

An intelligent system for the classification and selection of novel and efficient lossless image compression algorithms (2020)
Thesis
Alqerom, M. An intelligent system for the classification and selection of novel and efficient lossless image compression algorithms. (Thesis). University of Salford

We are currently living in an era revolutionised by the development of smart phones and digital cameras. Most people are using phones and cameras in every aspect of their lives. With this development comes a high level of competition between the tech...

PALMER: improving pathway annotation based on the biomedical literature mining with a constrained latent block model (2020)
Journal Article
Nam, J. H., Couch, D., da Silveira, W. A., Yu, Z., & Chung, D. (2020). PALMER: improving pathway annotation based on the biomedical literature mining with a constrained latent block model. BMC Bioinformatics, 21, Article 432. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12859-020-03756-3

Background: In systems biology, it is of great interest to identify previously unreported associations between genes. Recently, biomedical literature has been considered as a valuable resource for this purpose. While classical clustering algorithms h...

Comparative study on effects of injection mode on combustion and emission characteristics of a combined injection n-butanol/gasoline SI engine with hydrogen direct injection (2020)
Journal Article

In this paper, on the basis of combined injection technique, three injection modes with five n-butanol/gasoline volume ratios () were put forward, aiming to compare and evaluate the relationship between the injection mode and the combustion and emiss...
