A method for measuring sentence similarity and its application to conversational agents (2004)
Presentation / Conference
Li, Y., Bandar, Z., McLean, D., & O'Shea, J. (2004, May). A method for measuring sentence similarity and its application to conversational agents. Presented at The 17th International Florida Artificial Intelligence Research Society (FLAIRS) Conference, Florida, USA

This paper presents a novel algorithm for computing similarity between very short texts of sentence length. It will introduce a method that takes account of not only semantic information but also word order information implied in the sentences. First...

Analysis of radial wind velocity data from the Salford pulsed Doppler infrared lidar is used to calculate turbulent spectral statistics over the city of Salford in the United Kingdom. The results presented here, first, outline the error estimation pr... Read More about Doppler lidar measurements of turbulent structure function over an urban area.

Designing a geographic visual information system (GVIS) to support participation in urban planning (2004)
Thesis
Zhang, X. Designing a geographic visual information system (GVIS) to support participation in urban planning. (Thesis). University of Salford, UK

The growth of the international movement to involve the public in urban planning
urges us to find new ways to achieve this. Recent studies have identified
information communication technologies (ICT) as a mechanism to support such
movement. It has... Read More about Designing a geographic visual information system (GVIS) to support participation in urban planning.

Delineation of terrestrial reserves for amphibians: Post-breeding migrations of Italian crested newts (Triturus c. carnifex) at high altitude (2004)
Journal Article
Schabetsberger, R., Jehle, R., Maletzky, A., Pesta, J., & Sztatecsny, M. (2004). Delineation of terrestrial reserves for amphibians: Post-breeding migrations of Italian crested newts (Triturus c. carnifex) at high altitude. Biological Conservation, 117(1), 95-104. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0006-3207%2803%2900268-4

Little is known about the terrestrial phase of high-altitude populations of European amphibians, in spite of potentially important implications for conservation and management. We followed 51 adult Italian crested newts (Triturus carnifex) that emigr...

The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees (2004)
Thesis
Twiste, M. The effect of transverse rotation and longitudinal translation between prosthetic components during the gait of unilateral trans-tibial amputees. (Thesis). University of Salford

During stance phase of amputee gait, considerable forces are transmitted across the residual limb socket interface. These loads and associated gait patterns can be altered by introducing compliant elements into the prosthesis. However, previous studi...
