The design and calculation of algorithm for optimizing vertical handover performance (2014)
Presentation / Conference
Khattab, O., & Alani, O. (2014, July). The design and calculation of algorithm for optimizing vertical handover performance. Presented at Communication Systems, Networks & Digital Signal Processing (CSNDSP), Manchester

In this paper, we address the problem of Vertical Handover (VHO) connection failure which occurs when a handover is initiated but a target network does not have sufficient resources to complete it. Thus it is important to identify Radio Access Techno... Read More about The design and calculation of algorithm for optimizing vertical handover performance.

Integrating dual antennas into the wimedia UWB framework for WPANs (2014)
Presentation / Conference
framework for WPANs. Presented at 9th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks & Digital Sign (CSNDSP), Manchester

Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology is
a well-established antennae technology that can not only increase system capacity, but can also extend the link coverage area for wireless communication systems. In this paper, MIMO technology has... Read More about Integrating dual antennas into the wimedia UWB framework for WPANs.

Mapping 100 years of Thornthwaite moisture index : impact of climate change in Victoria, Australia (2014)
Journal Article
Zarpelon Leao, S. (2014). Mapping 100 years of Thornthwaite moisture index : impact of climate change in Victoria, Australia. Geographical Research, 52(3), 309-327. https://doi.org/10.1111/1745-5871.12072

Geographer C. W. Thornthwaite proposed in 1948 a moisture index called Thornthwaite Moisture Index (TMI) as part of a water balance model for a new classification system for climate. The importance of TMI climatic classification has been recognised i... Read More about Mapping 100 years of Thornthwaite moisture index : impact of climate change in Victoria, Australia.

Optical medium spatial resolution satellite constellation data for monitoring woodland in the UK (2014)
Journal Article
Ogunbadewa, E., Armitage, R., & Danson, F. (2014). Optical medium spatial resolution satellite constellation data for monitoring woodland in the UK. Forests, 5(7), 1798-1814. https://doi.org/10.3390/f5071798

The aim of this study was to test the potential of a constellation of remote sensing satellites, the Disaster Monitoring Constellation (DMC), for retrieving a temporal record of forest leaf area index (LAI) in the United Kingdom (U.K.). Ground-based... Read More about Optical medium spatial resolution satellite constellation data for monitoring woodland in the UK.

Quantitative incorporation of fishers’ spatial access priorities into strategic conservation planning and fisheries management (2014)
Journal Article
Yates, K., & Schoeman, D. (2014). Quantitative incorporation of fishers’ spatial access priorities into strategic conservation planning and fisheries management. ICES Journal of Marine Science, 72(2), 587-594. https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsu122

Both marine conservation and fisheries management are increasingly incorporating spatial tools such as marine protected areas (MPAs) and seasonal closures. To be able to develop spatial management plans that minimise negative impacts on the fishing c...

Incorporating the spatial access priorities of fishers into strategic conservation planning and marine protected area design : reducing cost and increasing transparency (2014)
Journal Article
Yates, K., & Schoeman, D. (2015). Incorporating the spatial access priorities of fishers into strategic conservation planning and marine protected area design : reducing cost and increasing transparency. ICES Journal of Marine Science, 72(2), 587-594. https://doi.org/10.1093/icesjms/fsu122

Marine protected areas (MPAs) are increasingly used to address multiple marine management needs, and the incorporation of stakeholders into the MPA planning and designation processes is considered vital for success. Commercial fishers are often the s...

Ontology enhancing process for a situated and curiosity-driven robot (2014)
Journal Article
Rea, F., Nefti-Meziani, S., Manzoor, U., & Davis, S. (2014). Ontology enhancing process for a situated and curiosity-driven robot. Robotics and autonomous systems, 62(12), 1837-1847. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.robot.2014.06.005

Nowadays, robots need to be able to interact with humans and objects in a flexible way and should be able to share the same knowledge (physical and social) of the human counterpart. Therefore, there is a need for a framework for expressing and sharin... Read More about Ontology enhancing process for a situated and curiosity-driven robot.

Oroya fever and verruga peruana: Bartonelloses unique to South America (2014)
Journal Article
Vinetz, J., Minnick, M., Anderson, B., Lima, A., Battisti, J., Lawyer, P., & Birtles, R. (2014). Oroya fever and verruga peruana: Bartonelloses unique to South America. PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 8(7), e2919. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pntd.0002919

Bartonella bacilliformis is the bacterial agent of Carrión's disease and is presumed to be transmitted between humans by phlebotomine sand flies. Carrión's disease is endemic to high-altitude valleys of the South American Andes, and the first reporte... Read More about Oroya fever and verruga peruana: Bartonelloses unique to South America.

Metabolic asymmetry in cancer : a “balancing act” that promotes tumor growth (2014)
Journal Article
Martinez-Outschoorn, U., Sotgia, F., & Lisanti, M. (2014). Metabolic asymmetry in cancer : a “balancing act” that promotes tumor growth. Cancer Cell, 26(1), 5-7. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ccr.2014.06.021

Profound metabolic differences between cancer cells and fibroblasts promote tumorigenesis. A study by Valencia and colleagues in this issue of Cancer Cell supports this assertion. They observed that metabolic asymmetry in prostate tumors drives aggre... Read More about Metabolic asymmetry in cancer : a “balancing act” that promotes tumor growth.
