A new Local Fractional Entropy-Based model for kidney MRI image enhancement (2018)
Journal Article
Al-Shamasneh, A. R., Jalab, H. A., Palaiahnakote, S., Hanum Obaidellah, U., Ibrahim, R. W., & El-Melegy, M. T. (2018). A new Local Fractional Entropy-Based model for kidney MRI image enhancement. Entropy, https://doi.org/10.3390/e20050344

Kidney image enhancement is challenging due to the unpredictable quality of MRI images, as well as the nature of kidney diseases. The focus of this work is on kidney images enhancement by proposing a new Local Fractional Entropy (LFE)-based model. T...

The Interplay Between Cholesterol Metabolism and Intrinsic Ageing (2018)
Book Chapter

The last few decades have witnessed remarkable progress in our understanding of ageing. From an evolutionary standpoint it is generally accepted that ageing is a non-adaptive process which is underscored by a decrease in the force of natural selectio...

Machine learning and DSP algorithms for screening of possible osteoporosis using electronic stethoscopes (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Osteoporosis is a prevalent but asymptomatic condition that affects a large population of the elderly, resulting in a high risk of fracture. Several methods have been developed and are available in general hospitals to indirectly assess the bone qual...

Recently it has been proposed to expand the definition of psychobiotics (beneficial bacteria (probiotics) or support for such bacteria (prebiotics) that positively impact mental health) to any exogenous influence whose effect on the brain is bacteria...

Acoustic measurement of additive manufactured concentric tube reverse flow resonators (2018)
Journal Article

This study investigates acoustic properties of additive manufactured (AM) concentric tube reverse flow (RF) resonators where acoustic attenuation with smaller sample length is achieved by increasing effective travel length of acoustic waves within a...

Gaze following in an asocial reptile (Eublepharis macularius) (2018)
Journal Article
Simpson, J., & O'Hara, S. (2018). Gaze following in an asocial reptile (Eublepharis macularius). Animal Cognition, 22(2), 145-152. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10071-018-1230-y

Gaze following is the ability to utilise information from another's gaze. It is most often seen in a social context or as a reflexive response to interesting external stimuli. Social species can potentially reveal utilisable knowledge about another's... Read More about Gaze following in an asocial reptile (Eublepharis macularius).

Measuring and modelling retrofit fabric performance in solid wall conjoined dwellings (2018)
Journal Article
Farmer, D., Parker, J., Johnston, D., Fletcher, M., Thomas, F., Gorse, C., & Stenlund, S. (2019). Measuring and modelling retrofit fabric performance in solid wall conjoined dwellings. Energy and Buildings, 185, 49-65. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2018.12.010

There remains a significant number of occupied and uninsulated solid wall dwellings in the UK. Deep retrofit is often required for these buildings to become energy efficient but it is difficult to determine how these buildings will respond to retrofi...

Effect of confinement on the bearing capacity and settlement of spread foundations (2018)
Journal Article
settlement of spread foundations. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.2021831

Allowable-bearing capacity is the competency of soil to safely carries the pressure from the superstructure without experiencing a shear failure with accompanying excessive settlements. Ensuring a safe bearing pressure with respect to failure does no... Read More about Effect of confinement on the bearing capacity and settlement of spread foundations.
