Model complexity vs. performance in the Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (2006)
Presentation / Conference
Correa, E., & Shapiro, J. (2006, September). Model complexity vs. performance in the Bayesian Optimization Algorithm. Presented at Parallel Problem Solving from Nature - PPSN IX, Reykjavik, Iceland

The Bayesian Optimization Algorithm (BOA) uses a Bayesian network to estimate the probability distribution of promising solutions to a given optimization problem. This distribution is then used to generate new candidate solutions. The objective is to... Read More about Model complexity vs. performance in the Bayesian Optimization Algorithm.

p63 and p73, members of the p53 gene family, transactivate PKCδ (2006)
Journal Article
Ponassi, R., Terrinoni, A., Chikh, A., Rufini, A., Lena, A., Sayan, B., …Candi, E. (2006). p63 and p73, members of the p53 gene family, transactivate PKCδ. Biochemical Pharmacology, 72(11), 1417-1422. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bcp.2006.07.031

The p53 family comprises three genes that encode for p53, p63 and p73. These genes have a significant degree of sequence homology, especially in the central sequence-specific DNA-binding domain. The high homology among the three DNA-binding domains i... Read More about p63 and p73, members of the p53 gene family, transactivate PKCδ.

Analysis of laser ablation plumes by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometry: a comparative study. Poster presented at Fourth International Conference on Laser Induced Plasma Spectroscopy and Applications (LIBS '06), Montreal, Canada

Plasma plumes resulting from Nd:YAG laser ablation of copper and Fecralloy (Fe 72.8%, Cr 22%, Al 5%, Zr trace, Y trace) have been analysed simultaneously with Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) and Laser Ablation Mass Spectrometry (LAMS). A... Read More about Analysis of laser ablation plumes by laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy and quadrupole mass spectrometry: a comparative study.

Photonic crystal thin films of GaAs prepared by atomic layer deposition (2006)
Journal Article
Povey, I., Whitehead, D., Thomas, K., Pemble, M., Bardosova, M., & Renard, J. (2006). Photonic crystal thin films of GaAs prepared by atomic layer deposition. Applied Physics Letters, 89(10), 104103. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2345359

Photonic crystal thin films were fabricated via the self-assembly of a lattice of silica spheres on silicon (100) substrates. Progressive infilling of the air spaces within the structure with GaAs was achieved using trimethylgallium and arsine under...
