Query coordination for distributed data sharing in P2P networks (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Organisations often store information about the same entity objects or features in different formats. Accessing and integrating this distributed information can be a difficult task because of schema differences and database platform issues. In this p...

An algorithm to mine general association rules from tabular data (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Mining association rules is a major technique within data mining and has many applications. Most methods for mining association rules from tabular data mine simple rules which only represent equality in their items. Limiting the operator only to “=”...

There are many variations of the squat technique, including stance width, foot positioning, and squat depth. However, research indicates that the optimal squat technique is a wide stance (≥ shoulder width) with natural foot positioning, unrestricted... Read More about Optimizing squat technique.

A developmental model of basic ICT skills for pre-service trainee teachers (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Resource limitations present several challenges to diffusion of ICT skills in developing (non-OECD) countries. Trainee teachers join colleges of teacher education with little or no prior exposure to technologies such as mobile phones or computers. Di...

Wavelength selective coupler with vertical gratings on silicon chip (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We propose a wavelength selective coupler using vertical grating structure on silicon chip and discuss the operation principle and the analytic design procedure. The transmission spectra expected by the procedure agree with finite difference time dom... Read More about Wavelength selective coupler with vertical gratings on silicon chip.

Technology adoption : breaking down barriers using a virtual reality design support tool for hybrid concrete (2007)
Journal Article
Goulding, J., Kagioglou, M., Sexton, M., Zhang, X., Aouad, G., & Barrett, P. (2007). Technology adoption : breaking down barriers using a virtual reality design support tool for hybrid concrete. Construction Management and Economics, 25(12), 1239-1250. https://doi.org/10.1080/01446190701504234

The use of hybrid concrete technologies as a viable solution to traditional frame design has been inhibited by a general lack of information. The uptake of this technology has therefore been slow and parochial, as designers have tended to stay loyal...

Epistasy search in population-based gene mapping using mutual information (2007)
Presentation / Conference
Saraee, M., Nikoofar, H., & Manzour, A. (2007, December). Epistasy search in population-based gene mapping using mutual information. Presented at 2007 IEEE International Symposium on Signal Processing and Information Technology, Cairo, EGYPT

Gene mapping intends to identify the causal genetic regions of a specific phenotype mostly a complex disease. These diseases are believed to have multiple contributing loci that are potentially unknown and often have subtle patterns making them hard...

Circular dichroism to determine binding mode and affinity of ligand-DNA interactions (2007)
Journal Article
Garbett, N., Ragazzon, P., & Chaires, J. (2007). Circular dichroism to determine binding mode and affinity of ligand-DNA interactions. Nature Protocols, 2(12), 3166-3172

Circular dichroism (CD) is a useful technique for an assessment of DNA-binding mode, being a more accessible, low-resolution complement to NMR and X-ray diffraction methods. Ligand-DNA interactions can be studied by virtue of the interpretation of in... Read More about Circular dichroism to determine binding mode and affinity of ligand-DNA interactions.
