Adsorption of common solvent molecules on graphene and MoS2 from first-principles
(2018)Solvents are an essential element in the production and processing of two-dimensional (2D) materials. For example, the liquid-phase exfoliation of layered materials requires a solvent to prevent the resulting monolayers ... -
Advanced Separation Processes for Recovery of Critical Raw Materials From Renewable and Waste Resources
(Elsevier, 2019)Driven by the fact that global mineral reserves are constantly depleting, systematic mandates and policies have been initiated to augment the recovery of essential resources, which have been categorised as critical raw ... -
Altered Brain Activation During a Verbal Working Memory Task in Subjects with Amnestic Mild Cognitive Impairment.
(2010)In subjects with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) memory disorders indicate a high risk for conversion to Alzheimer?s disease (AD). The objective of this study was to delineate the differences in brain activation between ... -
Analyzing Distributed Deep Neural Network Deployment on Edge and Cloud Nodes in IoT Systems
(IEEE, 2020)For the efficient execution of Deep Neural Networks (DNN) in the Internet of Things, computation tasks can be distributed and deployed on edge nodes. In contrast to deploying all computation to the cloud, the ... -
Biocircularity: a framework to define sustainable, circular bioeconomy
(2022)Bioeconomy is proposed as a solution to reduce reliance on fossil resources. However, bioeconomy is not always inherently circular and can mimic the conventional take, make, consume, dispose linear economic model. Agricultural ... -
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 ... -
Boronic Acid Homopolymers as Effective Polycations for Sugar-Responsive Layer-by-Layer Assemblies
(2019)Due to their reversible diol-binding ability, phenylboronic acid (BA) derivatives have gained considerable interest for the development of saccharide sensors and drug delivery systems. In particular, ... -
Brain-predicted age difference score is related to specific cognitive functions: a multi-site replication analysis
(2020)Brain-predicted age difference scores are calculated by subtracting chronological age from ‘brain’ age, which is estimated using neuroimaging data. Positive scores reflect accelerated ageing and are associated with increased ... -
A calculus for costed computations
(2011)We develop a version of the picalculus Picost where channels are interpreted as resources which have costs associated with them. Code runs under the financial responsibility of owners; they must pay to use resources, but ... -
Common genetic variation and susceptibility to partial epilepsies: A genome-wide association study
(2010)Partial epilepsies have a substantial heritability. However, the actual genetic causes are largely unknown. In contrast to many other common diseases for which genetic association-studies have successfully revealed common ... -
Communicating Transactions
(Springer, 2010)We propose a novel language construct called communicating transactions, obtained by dropping the isolation requirement from classical transactions, which can be used to model automatic error re- covery in distributed ... -
Compositional reasoning for weighted Markov decision processes
(2013)Weighted Markov decision processes (MDPs) have long been used to model quantitative aspects of systems in the presence of uncertainty. However, much of the literature on such MDPs takes a monolithic approach, by modelling ... -
Controlled dehydration of a ruthenium complex-DNA crystal induces reversible DNA kinking
(2014)Hydration-dependent DNA deformation has been known since Rosalind Franklin recognised that the relative humidity of the sample had to be maintained to observe a single conformation in DNA fibre diffraction. We now report ... -
Corroboration of computational models for mechanoregulated stem cell differentiation.
(2015)Do computational models contribute to progress in mechanobiology? Jacobs and Kelly (in Advances on Modelling in Tissue Engineering, p. 1–14, 2011) suggest that they do, but at the same time propose a limitation in the ... -
Counting the cost in the picalculus.
(Elsevier Science Publishers B. V, 2009)We design a new variation on the picalculus, ?cost, in which the use of channels or resources must be paid for. Processes operate relative to a cost environment, and communications can only happen if principals have ... -
Crosslinking and mechanical properties significantly influence cell attachment, proliferation, and migration within collagen glycosaminoglycan scaffolds.
(2011)Crosslinking and the resultant changes in mechanical properties have been shown to influence cellular activity within collagen biomaterials. With this in mind, we sought to determine the effects of crosslinking on both the ... -
Development of artificial neuronal networks for molecular communication
(2011)Communication at the nanoscale can enhance capabilities for nanodevices, and at the same time open new opportunities for numerous healthcare applications. One approach towards enabling communication between nanodevices is ... -
The Development of Non-Viral Gene-Activated Matrices for Bone Regeneration Using Polyethyleneimine (PEI) and Collagen-Based Scaffolds
(2012)The healing potential of scaffolds for tissue engineering can be enhanced by combining them with genes to produce gene-activated matrices (GAMs) for tissue regeneration. We examined the potential of using polyethyleneimine ... -
Diagnostic power of default mode network resting state fMRI in the detection of Alzheimer's disease.
(2012)Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of default mode network (DMN) brain activity during resting is recently gaining attention as a potential noninvasive biomarker to diagnose incipient Alzheimer's disease. The aim ...
