Food supply chains and sustainability: Evidence from specialist food producers in the Scottish/English borders (2005)
Journal Article

Despite an increasing interest in more sustainable forms of land management, few analyses have examined whether 'local' or 'alternative' food supply systems are sustainable in environmental, economic and social terms. Using SUSTAIN's 'sustainable foo... Read More about Food supply chains and sustainability: Evidence from specialist food producers in the Scottish/English borders.

Dynamics of arc phenomena at closure of electrical contacts in vacuum circuit breakers (2005)
Journal Article

Dynamic phenomena accompanying electrical contact closure in vacuum circuit breakers are considered as consecutive stages, including breakdown, touch, compression, restitution, bridging, and arcing at bouncing. The hybrid mathematical model is elabor... Read More about Dynamics of arc phenomena at closure of electrical contacts in vacuum circuit breakers.

Simulation of an optical-sensing technique for tracking surgical tools employed in computer-assisted interventions (2005)
Journal Article

Establishing the accuracy of optical-sensing systems for tools used in surgical procedures is an essential and nontrivial task. This paper shows that an optical-tracking system may be regarded as a cooperative system in that its accuracy is related n...

Discrepancy between viable counts and light output as viability measurements, following ciprofloxacin challenge of self-bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms (2005)
Journal Article

Objectives: To utilize bioluminescence to follow the effect of ciprofloxacin challenge on Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms. Methods: The Sorbarod continuous perfusion culture system was used for the cultivation of biofilms of a self-bioluminescent str... Read More about Discrepancy between viable counts and light output as viability measurements, following ciprofloxacin challenge of self-bioluminescent Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilms.

Understanding the schematic representation of pain and general symptomatology: The contribution of the cognitive miser perspective (2005)
Journal Article

In this study we aimed to investigate the contribution of a model of schema use originally from social psychology, the cognitive miser perspective, to understanding pain and illness representations. Recall of pain and general symptom information was...

Automatic machine vision calibration using statistical and neural network methods (2005)
Journal Article

A methodology is presented for camera calibration that is designed to improve the accuracy of machine vision based object measurement systems. The regression and artificial neural network techniques studied are considered to be complimentary rather t...

X-TCS: Accuracy-based learning classifier system robotics (2005)
Journal Article

Although most learning classifier system (LCS) research uses the accuracy-based XCS, it had never been used to control a physical robot before. In comparison to purely evolutionary or purely reinforcement learning approaches, an LCS should be faster... Read More about X-TCS: Accuracy-based learning classifier system robotics.

Proteomic identification of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase as an inhibitory target of hydrogen peroxide in Arabidopsis (2005)
Journal Article

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is now recognised as a key signalling molecule in eukaryotes. In plants, H2O2 is involved in regulating stomatal closure, gravitropic responses, gene expression and programmed cell death. Although several kinases, such as oxi...

Dynamic photometric stereo - A new technique for moving surface analysis (2005)
Journal Article

This paper describes a novel approach for two- and three-dimensional surface data capture from moving surfaces based upon an evolution of the existing photometric stereo (PS) technique. Limitations in current methods are described, together with the... Read More about Dynamic photometric stereo - A new technique for moving surface analysis.
