Acoustic and Temporal Analysis of Speech: A Potential Biomarker for Schizophrenia
(2010)Currently, there are no established objective biomarkers for the diagnosis or monitoring of schizophrenia. It has been previously reported that there are notable qualitative differences in the speech of schizophrenics. The ... -
Automated processing of shoeprint images based on the Fourier transform for use in forensic science
(IEEE, 2005)The development of a system for automatically sorting a database of shoeprint images based on the outsole pattern in response to a reference shoeprint image is presented. The database images are sorted so that those from ... -
Automatic classification of ECG beats using waveform shape and heart beat interval features
(IEEE, 2003)The paper presents the classification performance of an automatic classifier of the electrocardiogram (ECG) for the detection of normal, premature ventricular contraction and fusion beat types. Both linear discriminants ... -
Automatic classification of heartbeats using ECG morphology and heartbeat interval features
(IEEE, 2004)A method for the automatic processing of the electrocardiogram (ECG) for the classification of heartbeats is presented. The method allocates manually detected heartbeats to one of the five beat classes recommended by ... -
Automatic classification of shoeprints for use in forensic science based on the fourier transform
(IEEE, 2003)This study developed a system of automatic classification of shoeprint images into groups belonging to the same sole pattern. When presented with an image of a new shoeprint the system displays a ranked sequence ... -
Biomaterials and scaffolds for tissue engineering
(2011)Every day thousands of surgical procedures are performed to replace or repair tissue that has been damaged through disease or trauma. The developing field of tissue engineering (TE) aims to regenerate damaged tissues by ... -
Characterising cytokine gene expression signatures in patients with severe sepsis
(2013)Introduction. Severe sepsis in humans may be related to an underlying profound immune suppressive state. We investigated the link between gene expression of immune regulatory cytokines and the range of illness severity in ... -
Childhood Helicobacter pylori infection and growth impairment in developing countries: a vicious cycle?
(American Academy of Paediatrics, 2007)We hypothesize that infection with the gastric pathogen Helicobacter pylori in children in developing countries is the initiator of a vicious cycle of events that result ultimately in malnutrition and growth impairment. ... -
Classification of the electrocardiogram using selected wavelet coefficients and linear discriminants
(IEEE, 2000)Twenty-live wavelet coefficients were selected as inputs and cross-validation used to estimate the classifier performance. An overall accuracy of 72.3% was achieved using a database of 500 ECG records independently classified ... -
Concurrent task performance enhances low-level visuomotor learning.
(Psychonomic Society, 2007)Visuomotor association learning involves learning to make a motor response to an arbitrary visual stimulus. This learning is essential for visual search and discrimination performance and is reliant upon a well-defined neural ... -
A double prodrug system for colon targeting of benzenesulfonamide COX-2 inhibitors
(2011)The design, synthesis and delivery potential of a new type of benzenesulfonamide cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor prodrug is investigated using celecoxib. The approach involves a double prodrug that is activated first ... -
Excitation-induced coherence in a semiconductor microcavity
(American Physical Society, 2002)We measure the dephasing times of high finesse semiconductor microcavities in the strong coupling regime using degenerate four-wave mixing. We find that under certain excitation conditions (near-normal incidence) the ... -
FASTER: Fully Automated Statistical Thresholding for EEG artifact Rejection
(2010)Electroencephalogram (EEG) data are typically contaminated with artifacts (e.g., by eye movements). The effect of artifacts can be attenuated by deleting data with amplitudes over a certain value, for example. Independent ... -
A high-density ERP study reveals latency, amplitude, and topographical differences in multiple sclerosis patients versus controls.
(2010)Objective. To quantify latency, amplitude and topographical differences in event-related potential (ERP) components between multiple sclerosis (MS) patients and controls and to compare ERP findings with results from ... -
Large-area patterning for broadband, quasi-omnidirectional low-reflectance glass
(2022)A method for producing large-area, broadband, quasi-omnidirectional low-reflectivity glass surfaces is presented. Using block copolymer (BCP) patterning and inductively coupled plasma etching, near- periodic arrays of ... -
Literature Review on Issues of Work Life Balance, Workplace Culture and Maternity/Childcare Issues
(Crisis Pregnancy Agency, 2006)This report is a literature review of work-life balance, workplace culture and maternity/childcare issues. It draws on national and international research, policy and legislation, and looks particularly at the role each ... -
Mesenchymal stem cell fate is regulated by the composition and mechanical properties of Collagen Glycosaminoglycan scaffolds
(Elsevier, 2012)In stem cell biology, focus has recently turned to the influence of the intrinsic properties of the extracellular matrix (ECM), such as structural, composition and elasticity, on stem cell differentiation. Utilising ... -
A patient adapting heartbeat classifier using ECG morphology and heart-beat interval features
(IEEE, 2006)An adaptive system for the automatic processing of the electrocardiogram (ECG) for the classification of heartbeats into one of the five beat classes recommended by ANSI/AAMI EC57:1998 standard is presented. The heartbeat ... -
Robust biometric person identification using automatic classifier fusion of speech, mouth, and face experts
(IEEE, 2007)Information about person identity is multimodal. Yet, most person-recognition systems limit themselves to only a single modality, such as facial appearance. With a view to exploiting the complementary nature of different ...
