Genetic Programming (GP) is a branch of Genetic Algorithms (GA) that searches for the best operation or computer program in search space of operations. At the same time classification is a data mining technique used to build model of data classes... Read More about Optimizing classification techniques using genetic programming approach.

Applying data mining in medical data with focus on mortality related to accident in children (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Saraee, M., Ehghaghi, Z., Meamarzadeh, H., & Zibanezhad, B. (2008, December). Applying data mining in medical data with focus on mortality related to accident in children. Presented at IEEE International Multitopic Conference, Karachi, Pakistan

Trauma is the main leading cause of death in children; we need a tool to prevent and predict the outcome in these patients. Data mining is the science of extracting the useful information from a large amount of data sets or databases that leads to st...

Fuzzy block matching motion estimation for video compression (2008)
Presentation / Conference
Soroushmehr, S., Samavi, S., & Saraee, M. (2008, December). Fuzzy block matching motion estimation for video compression. Presented at 2008 IEEE 9th Malay International Conference on Communications, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia,

Motion estimation demands intense computations. To overcome this obstacle, different techniques have been devised. In this paper an efficient spatio-temporal fuzzy search algorithm is proposed to shorten the search time without the loss of accuracy....

Estimating the diet of urban birds: the problems of anthropogenic food and food digestibility (2008)
Journal Article
Ottoni, I., de Oliveria, F., & Young, R. (2009). Estimating the diet of urban birds: the problems of anthropogenic food and food digestibility. Applied Animal Behaviour Science, 117(1-2), 42-46. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.applanim.2008.11.002

A variety of methods exist for assessing the diets of wild birds, each of which has its strengths and weaknesses. The objective of this study was to compare diet data collected in parallel by behavioural observations and faecal analysis from an urban...

Comparison of conventional and catalytic in situ combustion processes for oil recovery (2008)
Journal Article
Abuhesa, M., & Hughes, R. (2009). Comparison of conventional and catalytic in situ combustion processes for oil recovery. https://doi.org/10.1021/ef800804a

Laboratory in situ combustion experiments were performed to test the concept of using in situ combustion to catalytically upgrade a medium-heavy Clair crude oil (19.8° API), using a low-pressure combustion cell. Tests were performed for both noncat... Read More about Comparison of conventional and catalytic in situ combustion processes for oil recovery.

Pond density as a determinant of aquatic species richness in an urban landscape (2008)
Journal Article
Gledhill, D., James, P., & Davies, D. (2008). Pond density as a determinant of aquatic species richness in an urban landscape. Landscape Ecology, 23(10), 1219-1230. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10980-008-9292-x

Green spaces within urban areas provide services and benefits to human populations and habitat for a variety of species. Freshwater, in the form of rivers, canals, lakes, reservoirs and ponds, is an important component of urban greenspaces. This pape...

Thesis
Bennett, E. Modulating protein-protein interactions : novel inhibitors of PDZ domains and tubulin dynamics. (Thesis). University of Salford

Protein-protein interactions are essential for all living systems. The interactions between tubulin dimers is already a broadly studied area, whereas the PDZ domain interactions is a relatively recent area of study. The literature in these areas is...
