Detection of advanced persistent threat using machine-learning correlation analysis (2018)
Journal Article

As one of the most serious types of cyber attack, Advanced Persistent Threats (APT) have caused major concerns on a global scale. APT refers to a persistent, multi-stage attack with the intention to compromise the system and gain information from the...

Response-surface-model-based system sizing for nearly/net zero energy buildings under uncertainty (2018)
Journal Article
Zhang, S., Sun, Y., Cheng, Y., Huang, P., Oladokun, M., & Lin, Z. (2018). Response-surface-model-based system sizing for nearly/net zero energy buildings under uncertainty. Applied Energy, 228, 1020-1031. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2018.06.156

Properly treating uncertainty is critical for robust system sizing of nearly/net zero energy buildings (ZEBs). To treat uncertainty, the conventional method conducts Monte Carlo simulations for thousands of possible design options, which inevitably l...

β3-adrenoceptor stimulation of perivascular adipocytes leads to increased fat cell-derived nitric oxide and vascular relaxation in small arteries (2018)
Journal Article
Bussey, C., Withers, S., Saxton, S., Bodagh, N., Aldous, R., & Heagerty, A. (2018). β3-adrenoceptor stimulation of perivascular adipocytes leads to increased fat cell-derived nitric oxide and vascular relaxation in small arteries. British Journal of Pharmacology, 175(18), 2685-3698. https://doi.org/10.1111/bph.14433

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
In response to norepinephrine healthy perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) exerts an anticontractile effect on adjacent small arterial tissue. Organ bath solution transfer experiments have demonstrated the release of PVAT-deriv...

Evolutionary trade-offs associated with loss of PmrB function in host-adapted Pseudomonas aeruginosa (2018)
Journal Article

Pseudomonas aeruginosa colonises the upper airway of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, providing a reservoir of host-adapted genotypes that subsequently establish chronic lung infection. We previously experimentally-evolved P. aeruginosa in a murine mod... Read More about Evolutionary trade-offs associated with loss of PmrB function in host-adapted Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Survival model with doubly interval-censored data and time-dependent covariates (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper a survival model with doubly interval censored (DIC) data and time dependent covariate is discussed. DIC data usually arise in follow-up studies where the lifetime, T = W − V is the elapsed time between two related events, the first eve...

Joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of parallel production systems (2018)
Journal Article
Zahedi-Hosseini, F., Scarf, P., & Syntetos, A. (2018). Joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of parallel production systems. Journal of Manufacturing Systems, 48(Part A), 73-86. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmsy.2018.06.002

We model a joint inspection and spare parts inventory policy for maintaining machines in a parallel system, where simultaneous downtime seriously impacts upon production performance and has a significant financial consequence. This dependency between... Read More about Joint maintenance-inventory optimisation of parallel production systems.

Design of sustainable outsourcing services for facilities management : critical success factors (2018)
Journal Article
Lok, K., Opoku, A., & Baldry, D. (2018). Design of sustainable outsourcing services for facilities management : critical success factors. Sustainability, 10(7), 2292. https://doi.org/10.3390/su10072292

The management problems of Facilities Management (FM) outsourcing relationships occur because of provision of low quality analytical, managerial, cooperative, and professional services. On selection, the ideal service providers for specific FM outsou... Read More about Design of sustainable outsourcing services for facilities management : critical success factors.

Increased optical pathlength through aqueous media for the infrared microanalysis of live cells (2018)
Journal Article
Doherty, J., Zhang, Z., Wehbe, K., Cinque, G., Gardner, P., & Denbigh, J. (2018). Increased optical pathlength through aqueous media for the infrared microanalysis of live cells. Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, 410(23), 5779-5789. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00216-018-1188-2

The study of live cells using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and FTIR microspectroscopy (FT-IRMS) intrinsically yields more information about cell metabolism than comparable experiments using dried or chemically fixed samples. There a... Read More about Increased optical pathlength through aqueous media for the infrared microanalysis of live cells.

State of the art : concise review scientific advances and new frontiers in mesothelioma therapeutics (2018)
Journal Article

Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare and aggressive cancer that arises from the mesothelial surface of the pleural and peritoneal cavities, the pericardium, and rarely, the tunica vaginalis. The incidence of MPM is expected to increase worl... Read More about State of the art : concise review scientific advances and new frontiers in mesothelioma therapeutics.

Valuing sustainable change in the built environment : using SuROI to appraise built environment projects (2018)
Journal Article

Purpose – The paper aims to assess the strengths and weaknesses SuROI to determine it suitability as a means through which social value can be predicted in line with public procurement directives and the Social Value Act, whilst at the same time as f...
