Plantar fascia ultrasound images characterization and classification using support vector machine (2019)
Presentation / Conference
Boussouar, A., Meziane, F., & Walton, L. (2019, October). Plantar fascia ultrasound images characterization and classification using support vector machine. Presented at The 5th International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Systems and Applications, Cairo, Egypt

The examination of plantar fascia (PF) ultrasound (US) images is subjective and based on the visual perceptions and manual biometric measurements carried out by medical experts. US images feature extraction, characterization and classification have b... Read More about Plantar fascia ultrasound images characterization and classification using support vector machine.

Railway capacity calculation in emergency using modified fuzzy random optimization methodology (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Accurate estimated capacity of the railway section can provide reliable information to railway operators and engineers in decision-making, particularly, in an emergency situation. However, in an emergency, the optimization of capacity of a railway se... Read More about Railway capacity calculation in emergency using modified fuzzy random optimization methodology.

Timetabling, platforming, and routing cooperative adjustment method based on train delay (2019)

What is the nature and extent of evidence on methodologies for monitoring and evaluating marine spatial management measures in UK and similar coastal waters? A systematic map protocol (2019)
Journal Article

Background: Anthropogenic degradation of marine ecosystems is widely accepted as a major social-ecological problem. The growing urgency to better manage marine ecosystems has led to the increasing application of ‘spatial management measures’ includin...

P735 Interleukin-33 induced eosinophilia restores perivascular adipose tissue function in obesity (2019)
Journal Article
Saxton, S., Potter, R., Withers, S., Grencis, R., & Heagerty, A. (2019). P735 Interleukin-33 induced eosinophilia restores perivascular adipose tissue function in obesity. European Heart Journal, 40(Supple), https://doi.org/10.1093/eurheartj/ehz747.0339

Abstract Background/Purpose Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) is essential in the modulation of vascular tone. Recently we have shown that resident eosinophils play a vital role in regulating PVAT function. In obesity, eosinophil numbers are reduced...
