A Hybrid Approach using Ontology Similarity and Fuzzy Logic for Semantic Question Answering (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

One of the challenges in information retrieval is providing accurate answers to a user’s question often expressed as uncertainty words. Most answers are based on a Syntactic approach rather than a Semantic analysis of the query. In this paper our obj...

Modelling the transmission dynamics of cystic echinococcosis in donkeys of different ages from Tunisia (2014)
Journal Article

During the period from March 2006 to July 2009 a total of 2040 slaughtered donkeys were examined for cystic echinococcosis (CE). CE prevalence in donkeys was 8.48% and the infection pressure (0.0088 infections per year) and infection rate (0.0448 cys...

Efficient parallel implementation of the nonparaxial beam propagation method (2014)
Journal Article
Sanchez-Curto, J., Chamorro-Posada, P., & McDonald, G. (2014). Efficient parallel implementation of the nonparaxial beam propagation method. Parallel Computing, 40(8), 394-407. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.parco.2014.06.003

An efficient parallel implementation of a nonparaxial beam propagation method for the numerical study of the nonlinear Helmholtz equation is presented. Our solution focuses on minimizing communication and computational demands of the method which are... Read More about Efficient parallel implementation of the nonparaxial beam propagation method.

2Loud? : Community mapping of exposure to traffic noise with mobile phones (2014)
Journal Article
Zarpelon Leao, S., Ong, K., & Krezel, A. (2014). 2Loud? : Community mapping of exposure to traffic noise with mobile phones. Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 186(10), 6193-6206. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10661-014-3848-9

Despite ample medical evidence of the adverse impacts of traffic noise on health, most policies for traffic noise management are arbitrary or incomplete, resulting in serious social and economic impacts. Surprisingly, there is limited information abo... Read More about 2Loud? : Community mapping of exposure to traffic noise with mobile phones.

Evaluating the cumulative impact problem in spatial planning : a case study of wind turbines in Aberdeenshire, UK (2014)
Journal Article
Scott, A., Shannon, P., Hardman, M., & Miller, D. (2014). Evaluating the cumulative impact problem in spatial planning : a case study of wind turbines in Aberdeenshire, UK. Town Planning Review, 85(4), 457-488. https://doi.org/10.3828/tpr.2014.27

The problem of cumulative impact (CI) is an under-researched issue in spatial planning theory and practice with important implications for sustainability. This paper investigates how cumulative impact is addressed within the Scottish planning system...

Electronic and optical structure of wurtzite CuInS2 (2014)
Journal Article
Tomic, S., Bernasconi, L., Searle, B., & Harrison, N. (2014). Electronic and optical structure of wurtzite CuInS2. Journal of Physical Chemistry C, 118(26), 14478-14484. https://doi.org/10.1021/jp411213d

We present a theoretical study of the electronic structure of
the wurtzite CuInS2 material. To address reliably some material properties of
this new phase we use hybrid density functional theory. Among possible
wurtzite polymorphs, we have determi... Read More about Electronic and optical structure of wurtzite CuInS2.

Synthesis, mobility and multifurcation of deployable polyhedral mechanisms with radially reciprocating motion (2014)
Journal Article
Wei, G., Chen, Y., & Dai, J. (2014). Synthesis, mobility and multifurcation of deployable polyhedral mechanisms with radially reciprocating motion. Journal of Mechanical Design, 136(9), 091003. https://doi.org/10.1115/1.4027638

Extending the method coined virtual-center-based (VCB) for synthesizing a group of deployable platonic mechanisms with radially reciprocating motion by implanting dual-plane-symmetric 8-bar linkages into the platonic polyhedron bases, this paper prop...

ADM-LDA : an aspect detection model based on topic modelling using the structure of review sentences (2014)
Journal Article
Bagheri, A., Saraee, M., & de Jong, F. (2014). ADM-LDA : an aspect detection model based on topic modelling using the structure of review sentences. Journal of Information Science, 40(5), 621-636. https://doi.org/10.1177/0165551514538744

Probabilistic topic models are statistical methods whose aim is to discover the latent structure in a large collection of documents. The intuition behind topic models is that, by generating documents by latent topics, the word distribution for each t...
