Integrating multi-omics data with deep learning for predictive modelling of autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases (2025)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In precision medicine, predicting the onset and progression of autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases poses a multifaceted challenge due to their intricate molecular complexities. Traditional diagnostic methods, while foundational, often fall shor...

Enhanced heart sound classification using Mel frequency cepstral coefficients and comparative analysis of single vs. ensemble classifier strategies (2024)
Journal Article

This paper seeks to enhance the performance of Mel Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCCs) for detecting abnormal heart sounds. Heart sounds are first pre-processed to remove noise and then segmented into S1, systole, S2, and diastole intervals, with...

Simulated autopoiesis in liquid automata (2024)
Journal Article

We present a novel form of Liquid Automata, using this to simulate autopoiesis, whereby living machines self-organise in the physical realm. This simulation is based on an earlier Cellular Automaton described by Francisco Varela. The basis of Liquid... Read More about Simulated autopoiesis in liquid automata.

Enhancing DDoS attack detection in software-defined networks with entropy-based techniques (2024)
Journal Article

The introduction of Software-Defined Networks (SDN) represents significant advancements in network design by separating control and forwarding planes. While SDN improves network administration productivity, it has many vulnerabilities which hackers c...

Privacy based triage of suspicious activity reports using offline large language models (2024)
Book Chapter

Suspicious Activity Reports (SAR) form a vital part of incident response and case management for the investigation of known or suspected money laundering. However, those submitting SARs, and those tasked with analysing SARs, often find the task overw...

Stress reactivity moderates the association between stressful life events and depressive symptoms in adolescents: Results from a population-based study (2024)
Journal Article

A large body of evidence links stressful life events with depression. However, little is understood about the role of perceived impact in this association. We performed regression analysis to investigate whether self-reported stress reactivity (deriv...

Clinical and patient-reported outcomes in women offered oncoplastic breast conserving surgery as an alternative to mastectomy in the ANTHEM multicentre, prospective cohort study (2024)
Journal Article

ABSTRACT

Background: Oncoplastic breast conserving surgery (OPBCS) may be a better option than mastectomy, but high-quality comparative evidence is lacking. The ANTHEM study (ISRCTN18238549) aimed to explore clinical and patient-reported outcomes...

Influence of proteinoids on calcium carbonate polymorphs precipitation in supersaturated solutions (2024)
Journal Article

Proteinoids, or thermal proteins, are amino acid polymers formed at high temperatures by non-biological processes. Pro- teinoids form microspheres in liquids. The microspheres exhibit electrical activity similar to that of neurons. The electrically s...
