Novelty detection using level set methods (2014)
Journal Article
Ding, X., Li, Y., Belatreche, A., & Maguire, L. (2015). Novelty detection using level set methods. IEEE transactions on neural networks and learning systems, 26(3), 576-588. https://doi.org/10.1109/TNNLS.2014.2320293

This paper presents a level set boundary description (LSBD) approach for novelty detection that treats the nonlinear boundary directly in the input space. The proposed approach consists of level set function (LSF) construction, boundary evolution, an... Read More about Novelty detection using level set methods.

Echolocation of the big red bat Lasiurus egregius(Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and first record from the Central Brazilian Amazon (2014)
Journal Article
López-Baucells, A., Rocha, R., Fernández-Arellano, G., Bobrowiec, P., Palmeirim, J., & Meyer, C. (2014). Echolocation of the big red bat Lasiurus egregius(Chiroptera: Vespertilionidae) and first record from the Central Brazilian Amazon. Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment, 49(1), 18-25. https://doi.org/10.1080/01650521.2014.907600

Lasiurus egregius (Peters, 1870) is a rare Neotropical vespertilionid bat and virtually no data on its ecology and echolocation calls are currently available. We report the capture of four individuals in the Central Amazon, representing the first rec...

Evolution of sperm morphology in anurans : Insights into the roles of mating system and spawning location (2014)
Journal Article

Background: The degree of postcopulatory sexual selection, comprising variable degrees of sperm competition and cryptic female choice, is an important evolutionary
force to influence sperm form and function. Here we investigated the effects of
mati... Read More about Evolution of sperm morphology in anurans : Insights into the roles of mating system and spawning location.

Evolution and development of urban land use planning: analysis from human action theory perspective (2014)
Journal Article
Gyau, K., Hammond, F., Booth, C., & Lamond, J. (2014). Evolution and development of urban land use planning: analysis from human action theory perspective. Theoretical and Empirical Researches in Urban Management (Print), 9(2), 35-67

While numerous literature discuss urban land use planning theory, it is still unclear the framework that should drive
planning practice signifying the need for further interrogation of the subject. This work analyses evolution and
development of pl... Read More about Evolution and development of urban land use planning: analysis from human action theory perspective.

Waveguides in Ni-doped glass and glass–ceramic written with a 1 kHz femtosecond laser (2014)
Journal Article
femtosecond laser. Optical Materials, 36(6), 1604-1608. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.optmat.2014.04.042

We report waveguides in Ni-doped Li2O–Ga2O3–SiO2 (Ni:LGS) glass and glass–ceramic (GC) fabricated
with a femtosecond (fs) laser with repetition rate of 1 kHz. When the glass is annealed to form a GC,
the waveguides are erased. However, in the GC th... Read More about Waveguides in Ni-doped glass and glass–ceramic written with a 1 kHz femtosecond laser.

Impacts of UVB provision and dietary calcium content on serum vitamin D3, growth rates, skeletal structure and coloration in captive oriental fire-bellied toads (Bombina orientalis) (2014)
Journal Article
Michaels, C., Antwis, R., & Preziosi, R. (2015). Impacts of UVB provision and dietary calcium content on serum vitamin D3, growth rates, skeletal structure and coloration in captive oriental fire-bellied toads (Bombina orientalis). Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 99(2), 391-403. https://doi.org/10.1111/jpn.12203

Many amphibian species are dependent on ex situ conservation interventions for their long?term persistence. However, projects have been jeopardised by husbandry issues involving poor calcium metabolism and nutritional metabolic bone disease (NMBD). H...

Assessing the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure to sea level rise using multi-criteria analysis in Scarborough, Maine (USA) (2014)
Journal Article
Johnston, A., Slovinsky, P., & Yates, K. (2014). Assessing the vulnerability of coastal infrastructure to sea level rise using multi-criteria analysis in Scarborough, Maine (USA). Ocean and Coastal Management, 95, 176-188. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ocecoaman.2014.04.016

Sea level rise and climate change will have widespread impacts on coastal towns and cities, many of which have seen dramatic increases in development over recent decades. In addition to potential private property damage, the critical public infrastru...

Response of vegetables to cadmium-enriched soil (2014)
Journal Article
Ebrazi Bakhshayesh, B., Delkash, M., & Scholz, M. (2014). Response of vegetables to cadmium-enriched soil. Water, 6(5), 1246-1256. https://doi.org/10.3390/w6051246

Environmental and water pollution through heavy metals is a growing concern. The recycling of untreated wastewater, which is often contaminated with heavy metals, for agricultural applications is becoming more popular. However, information on the amo...
