An ecological framework seeks to maintain ecological processes in the wider landscape and to conserve ecosystems, habitats, species, genetic diversity, and landscapes of importance. As greater attention is paid to ecological frameworks and in part... Read More about The role of privately owned sports related green spaces in urban ecological frameworks.

Predicting functional upstream open reading frames in Saccharomyces cerevisiae (2009)
Journal Article
Selpi, S., Bryant, C., Kemp, G., Sarv, J., Kristiansson, E., & Sunnerhagen, P. (2009). Predicting functional upstream open reading frames in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. BMC Bioinformatics, 10, 451. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2105-10-451

BACKGROUND: Some upstream open reading frames (uORFs) regulate gene expression (i.e., they are functional) and can play key roles in keeping organisms healthy. However, how uORFs are involved in gene regulation is not yet fully understood. In order t... Read More about Predicting functional upstream open reading frames in Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Induction of TAp63 by histone deacetylase inhibitors (2009)
Journal Article

TAp63 belongs to the p53-tumour suppressor family and is capable of transactivating a set of target genes to induce cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. We showed that treatment of cancer cells with chemo-therapeutic drugs or the histone deacetylase (HDA... Read More about Induction of TAp63 by histone deacetylase inhibitors.

Dependence of catalytic activity and long-term stability of enzyme hydrogel films on curing time (2009)
Journal Article

Enzyme hydrogels were prepared on carbon film electrodes using glucose oxidase and an epoxide crosslinking agent. The catalytic activity of the gels was found to depend strongly on curing time. The competing effects of increased mechanical stability... Read More about Dependence of catalytic activity and long-term stability of enzyme hydrogel films on curing time.

An architecture to support web‐based information extraction using domain ontologies (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Sugumaran, V., & Meziane, F. (2009, December). An architecture to support web‐based information extraction using domain ontologies. Presented at 8th workshop on EBusiness (WEB2009),, Phoenix, Arizona, USA

The web is the world’s most valuable information resource. However, a wide gap has emerged between the information available for software applications vis-à-vis human consumption. In response to this problem, new research initiatives have focused on... Read More about An architecture to support web‐based information extraction using domain ontologies.

Dataset selection for training one-class support vector machines (2009)
Presentation / Conference
Li, Y., & Maguire, L. (2009, December). Dataset selection for training one-class support vector machines. Presented at International Conference on Computational Intelligence and Software Engineering, Wuhan, China

This paper proposes an efficient training strategy for one-class support vector machines. The strategy exploits the feature of a trained one-class SVM which uses points only residing on the exterior region of data distribution as support vectors. Thu...
