Insights into hominid evolution from the gorilla genome sequence (2012)
Journal Article

Gorillas are humans’ closest living relatives after chimpanzees, and are of comparable importance for the study of human origins and evolution. Here we present the assembly and analysis of a genome sequence for the western lowland gorilla,and compare... Read More about Insights into hominid evolution from the gorilla genome sequence.

Relative expression of TAp73 and ΔNp73 isoforms (2012)
Journal Article

The transcription factor p73 belongs to the p53 family of tumour suppressors and similar to other family members, transcribed as different isoforms with opposing pro- and anti-apoptotic functions. Unlike p53, p73 mutations are extremely rare in cance... Read More about Relative expression of TAp73 and ΔNp73 isoforms.

Projective multi-texturing for integrated real-time 3D reconstruction and rendering of a person (2012)
Presentation / Conference
reconstruction and rendering of a person. Presented at IEEE VR 2012 conference, Orange County, CA, USA

The ability to capture and reconstruct a person in real-time 3D environments, offers significant improvements to fidelity and empathetic engagement in real-time visual communication/collaboration systems, provided it can be achieved at a fast enough...

An evolutionary approach to modelling the soil-water characteristic curve in unsaturated soils (2012)
Journal Article
Ahangar-Asr, A., Johari, A., & Javadi, A. (2012). An evolutionary approach to modelling the soil-water characteristic curve in unsaturated soils. Computers and Geosciences, 43, 25-33. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cageo.2012.02.021

In this paper a new approach is presented based on evolutionary polynomial regression (EPR) for modelling of soil–water characteristic curve in unsaturated soils. EPR is an evolutionary data mining technique that generates a transparent and structure...

The effects of transverse rotation angle on compression and effective lever arm of prosthetic feet during simulated stance (2012)
Journal Article
Major, M., Howard, D., Jones, R., & Twiste, M. (2012). The effects of transverse rotation angle on compression and effective lever arm of prosthetic feet during simulated stance. Prosthetics and Orthotics International, 36(2), 231-235. https://doi.org/10.1177/0309364611435996

Background and Aim: Unlike sagittal plane prosthesis alignment, few studies have observed the effects of transverse plane alignment on gait and prosthesis behaviour. Changes in transverse plane rotation angle will rotate the points of loading on the...

Gompertz model with time-dependent covariate in the presence of interval-, right- and left-censored data (2012)
Journal Article
Kiani, K., & Arasan, J. (2013). Gompertz model with time-dependent covariate in the presence of interval-, right- and left-censored data. Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation, 83(8), 1472-1490. https://doi.org/10.1080/00949655.2012.662979

In this paper, the Gompertz model is extended to incorporate time-dependent covariates in the presence of interval-, right-, left-censored and uncensored data. Then, its performance at different sample sizes, study periods and attendance probabilitie...

A strategic framework for the further enhancement of the standard forms of construction contract in the Sultanate of Oman (2012)
Thesis

The Standard Forms of Contract plays a very important role in the dynamics of the
construction phase. The Standard Forms of Contract defines the roles, rights and
obligations of the contracting parties in a construction project. This study
demonst... Read More about A strategic framework for the further enhancement of the standard forms of construction contract in the Sultanate of Oman.
