A general procedure to generate models for urban environmental-noise pollution using feature selection and machine learning methods (2014)
Journal Article
Torija Martinez, A., & Ruiz, D. (2015). A general procedure to generate models for urban environmental-noise pollution using feature selection and machine learning methods. Science of the Total Environment, 505, 680-693. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2014.08.060

The prediction of environmental noise in urban environments requires the solution of a complex and non-linear
problem, since there are complex relationships among themultitude of variables involved in the characterization
andmodelling of environmen... Read More about A general procedure to generate models for urban environmental-noise pollution using feature selection and machine learning methods.

The strengths and weaknesses of inverted pendulum models of human walking (2014)
Journal Article
McGrath, M., Howard, D., & Baker, R. (2015). The strengths and weaknesses of inverted pendulum models of human walking. Gait & Posture, 41(2), 389-394. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.gaitpost.2014.10.023

An investigation into the kinematic and kinetic predictions of two ‘inverted pendulum’ (IP) models of
gait was undertaken. The first model consisted of a single leg, with anthropometrically correct mass and
moment of inertia, and a point mass at th... Read More about The strengths and weaknesses of inverted pendulum models of human walking.

Participatory sensing and education : helping the community mitigate sleep disturbance from traffic noise (2014)
Journal Article
Ong, K., Zarpelon Leao, S., & Krezel, A. (2014). Participatory sensing and education : helping the community mitigate sleep disturbance from traffic noise. International Journal of Pervasive Computing and Communications, 10(4), 419-441. https://doi.org/10.1108/IJPCC-04-2014-0030

Purpose: This paper aims to present a project in Australia, where participants use smartphones to measure the level of traffic noise in their homes. Through the data collected, participants learn if they are subjected to sleep disturbances and, if so...

Do wild titi monkeys show empathy? (2014)
Journal Article
Clyvia, A., Kaizer, M., Vale, R., Young, R., & Casar, C. (2014). Do wild titi monkeys show empathy?. Primate Biology, 1, 23-28. https://doi.org/10.5194/pb-1-23-2014

We observed a putative case of empathy among wild black-fronted titi monkeys (Callicebus nigrifrons)
from two different groups (D and R). In over 10 years of behavioural observations of five habituated
groups of this species, only low levels of int... Read More about Do wild titi monkeys show empathy?.

Anticancer phototherapy using activation of E-combretastatins by two-photon–induced isomerization (2014)
Journal Article
Hadfield, J., Bisby, R., Scherer, K., Botchway, S., & Parker, A. (2014). Anticancer phototherapy using activation of E-combretastatins by two-photon–induced isomerization. Journal of Biomedical Optics, 20(5), 1004-1. https://doi.org/10.1117/1.JBO.20.5.051004

The photoisomerization of relatively nontoxic E-combretastatins to clinically active Z-isomers is
shown to occur in solution through both one- and two-photon excitations at 340 and 625 nm, respectively.
The photoisomerization is also demonstrated t... Read More about Anticancer phototherapy using activation of E-combretastatins by two-photon–induced isomerization.

Clogging of vertical-flow constructed wetlands treating urban wastewater contaminated with a diesel spill (2014)
Journal Article
Al-Isawi, R., Scholz, M., Wang, Y., & Sani, A. (2014). Clogging of vertical-flow constructed wetlands treating urban wastewater contaminated with a diesel spill. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 22(17), 12779-12803. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-014-3732-8

Clogging often leads to a decrease of the treatment performance of wetlands. The aims of this study were to compare the impact of different design and operational variables on the treatment efficiency and clogging processes and to model suspended sol...

A satellite image-based analysis of factors contributing to the green-space cool island intensity on a city scale (2014)
Journal Article
Kong, F., Yin, H., Wang, C., Cavan, G., & James, P. (2014). A satellite image-based analysis of factors contributing to the green-space cool island intensity on a city scale. Urban Forestry and Urban Greening, 13(4), 846-853. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ufug.2014.09.009

Urban green spaces provide cooler microclimates and create localized urban cool islands and, as part of an adaption strategy to cope with future urban climate change, have been proposed as a means to mitigate the urban heat island effect. Numerous pr... Read More about A satellite image-based analysis of factors contributing to the green-space cool island intensity on a city scale.
