A combined blind source separation and adaptive noise cancellation scheme with potential application in blind acoustic parameter extraction (2008)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Chambers, J., Kendrick, P., Cox, T., & Li, F. (2008). A combined blind source separation and adaptive noise cancellation scheme with potential application in blind acoustic parameter extraction. Neurocomputing, 71(10-12), 2127-2139. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2007.09.019

Room acoustic parameters such as reverberation time (RT) can be extracted from passively received speech signals by certain ‘blind’ methods, thereby mitigating the need for good controlled excitation signals or prior information of the room geometry....

An initial study into augmented inward looking exploration and navigation in CAVE-like IPT systems (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Aspin, R. (2008, March). An initial study into augmented inward looking exploration and navigation in CAVE-like IPT systems. Poster presented at Virtual Reality Conference - VR '08, Nevada, USA

This research presents and evaluates a CAVE-like IPT system in which a Tracked Display and Interaction Device (TDID), based on a Tablet PC, is used to display an augmented viewing system for detailed examination of a close focused objects. This maint... Read More about An initial study into augmented inward looking exploration and navigation in CAVE-like IPT systems.

Using Wittgenstein’s family resemblance principle to learn exemplars (2008)
Journal Article
Vadera, S., Rodriguez, A., Succar, E., & Wu, J. (2008). Using Wittgenstein’s family resemblance principle to learn exemplars. Foundations of Science, 13(1), 67-74. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10699-007-9119-2

The introduction of the notion of family resemblance represented a major shift in Wittgenstein’s thoughts on the meaning of words, moving away from a belief that words were well defined, to a view that words denoted less well defined categories of...

Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations (2008)
Conference Proceeding
Ray, O., & Bryant, C. (2008). Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations. In F. Xhafa, & L. Barolli (Eds.), Complex, Intelligent and Software Intensive Systems (667-671). https://doi.org/10.1109/CISIS.2008.124

Techniques for detecting synthetic lethal mutations in double gene deletion experiments are emerging as powerful tool for analysing genes in parallel or overlapping pathways with a shared function. This paper introduces a logic-based approach that us... Read More about Inferring the function of genes from synthetic lethal mutations.

Utilisation of halophosphine and aminophosphine ligands in organoruthenium chemistry (2008)
Thesis
Boshaala, A. Utilisation of halophosphine and aminophosphine ligands in organoruthenium chemistry. (Thesis). University of Salford

This thesis concerns the syntheses and reactivity of areneruthenium complexes containing halophosphine and aminophosphine ligands. Methylcyclopentadienylruthenium chemistry is also developed together with corresponding tertbutylcyclopentadienylruth...

Individual variation in male mating preferences for female coloration in a polymorphic cichlid fish (2008)
Journal Article
Pierotti, M. E., Knight, M. E., Immler, S., Barson, N. J., Turner, G. F., & Seehausen, O. (2008). Individual variation in male mating preferences for female coloration in a polymorphic cichlid fish. Behavioral Ecology, 19(3), 483–488. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arm154

Female color polymorphisms are common in the cichlid species radiations of Lake Victoria and Lake Malawi. According to theory, when a population harbors variation in sex-determining factors, polymorphism in female-linked coloration might generate ind...

Purpose – This paper seeks to propose a framework for higher education institutions facing the challenge of developing and deploying continuing professional development in the construction industry using a blended learning approach. The focus in on i... Read More about Lessons learned from a case study in deploying blended learning continuing professional development.

A new fuzzy set merging technique using inclusion-based fuzzy clustering (2008)
Journal Article
Nefti-Meziani, S., Kaymak, U., & Oussalah, M. (2008). A new fuzzy set merging technique using inclusion-based fuzzy clustering. https://doi.org/10.1109/TFUZZ.2007.902011

This paper proposes a new method of merging parameterized fuzzy sets based on clustering in the parameters space, taking into account the degree of inclusion of each fuzzy set in the cluster prototypes. The merger method is applied to fuzzy rule base... Read More about A new fuzzy set merging technique using inclusion-based fuzzy clustering.
