Weighted association rule mining from binary and fuzzy data (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

A novel approach is presented for mining weighted association rules (ARs) from binary and fuzzy data. We address the issue of invalidation of downward closure property (DCP) in weighted association rule mining where each item is assigned a weight acc...

Mining fuzzy association rules from composite items (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presents an approach for mining fuzzy Association Rules (ARs) relating the properties of composite items, i.e. items that each feature a number of values derived from a common schema. We partition the values associated to properties into f... Read More about Mining fuzzy association rules from composite items.

Fuzzification of spiked neural networks (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Biological systems are slow, wide and messy whereas computer systems are fast, deep and precise. Fuzzy neural networks use fuzzy logic to implement higher level reasoning and incorporate expert knowledge into the system while neural networks deal wit...

Threat Modeling Revisited: Improving Expressiveness of Attack (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Threat modeling plays an important role in the deployment of optimal security controls and a number of threat modeling techniques have been proposed. However, most of the existing techniques lack adequate semantics and expressiveness. This paper revi... Read More about Threat Modeling Revisited: Improving Expressiveness of Attack.

A weighted utility framework for mining association rules (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Association rule mining (ARM) identifies frequent itemsets from databases and generates association rules by assuming that all items have the same significance and frequency of occurrence in a record i.e. their weight and utility is the same (weight=...

Patient perceptions on energizers and drainers in RA fatigue: Implications for clincial practice (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: Fatigue is a significant symptom of RA, yet patients have reported feeling unsupported by clinicians, and self-management has variable success. This study aimed to explore the patients’ perception of what contributes to, or resolves fatig...

Knowing you have been formally assessed as competent: Rheumatology practitioners' views of an osce (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Background: The objective structured clinical evaluation (OSCE) is increasingly being used to evaluate clinical skills and reasoning ability in under- and postgraduate programmes. Effectiveness of a Rheumatology OSCE has been evaluated in an MSc Rheu... Read More about Knowing you have been formally assessed as competent: Rheumatology practitioners' views of an osce.

Estimating individual cancer risks in the UK national breast screening programme: A feasibility study (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Conventional risk models for the development of breast cancer use inputs such as age, weight, hormonal factors and family history to compute individual breast cancer risk. These are employed in the management of women at high risk. The addition of br...

Metal coated subwavelength laser resonators with low threshold gain (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We demonstrate that a low refractive index layer in metal coated laser resonators can significantly reduce the threshold gain. A subwavelength resonator with a sufficiently low threshold gain to lase at room temperature is presented.

Past of the firm: The source for sustainable competitive advantage and survival? (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Small craft sector firms are struggling to survive in an environment where large multinational
companies produce similar kinds of products in higher volumes and cheaper prices. The
surviving of small firms calls for creative thinking. There are man... Read More about Past of the firm: The source for sustainable competitive advantage and survival?.

A dynamic policy model to manage temporal performance amongst contracting firms in a competitive situation (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Studies have been conducted to measure competitiveness in the construction industry. Such research has focused on all levels from the national picture to individual projects. While useful, the results are limited in that they present a snapshot pictu...

The parties of opposition in the aftermath of the election (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

‘The parties of opposition in the aftermath of the election’, paper presented to the seminar, ‘Politica in Italia’, of the Istituto Carlo Cattaneo, Bologna, Italy, 8 November 2008.

Communicating eye gaze across a distance without rooting participants to the spot (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Eye gaze is an important conversational resource that
until now could only be supported across a distance if people were rooted to the spot. We introduce EyeCVE, the
world’s first tele-presence system that allows people in different physical locati... Read More about Communicating eye gaze across a distance without rooting participants to the spot.

Acoustic diagnosis of driving belt physical condition in enclosures (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Timing belt transmission is a key subsystem of international combustion engines. Faults in such belt systems lead to power loss, increased emissions and, in case of failure, may even cause severe damage to the whole engine. Hitherto, the physical con...

Interventional radiology core skills simulation : mid term status of the CRaIVE projects (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

There is a shortage of radiologists trained in performance of Interventional radiology (IR) procedures. Visceral and vascular IR techniques almost universally commence with a needle puncture, usually to a specific target for biopsy, or to introduce w...
