Automatic machine vision calibration using statistical and neural network methods (2005)
Journal Article
Smith, L. N., & Smith, M. L. (2005). Automatic machine vision calibration using statistical and neural network methods. Image and Vision Computing, 23(10), 887-899. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.imavis.2005.03.009

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
Studley, M., & Bull, L. (2005). X-TCS: Accuracy-based learning classifier system robotics. https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2005.1554954

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.

Predicting inter-taxa differences in plant uptake of cesium-134/137 (2005)
Journal Article
Willey, N., Tang, S., & Watt, N. R. (2005). Predicting inter-taxa differences in plant uptake of cesium-134/137. Journal of Environmental Quality, 34(5), 1478-1489. https://doi.org/10.2134/jeq2004.0454

For 134/137Cs, and many other soil contaminants, research into transfer to plants has focused on particular crops and phytoremediation candidates, producing uptake data for a small proportion of all plant taxa. Despite the significance of differences... Read More about Predicting inter-taxa differences in plant uptake of cesium-134/137.

Proteomic identification of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase as an inhibitory target of hydrogen peroxide in Arabidopsis (2005)
Journal Article
Harrison, J., Hancock, J. T., Henson, D., Nyirenda, M., Desikan, R., Lewis, M., …Neill, S. (2005). Proteomic identification of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase as an inhibitory target of hydrogen peroxide in Arabidopsis. Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, 43(9), 828-835. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.plaphy.2005.07.012

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
Smith, M. L., & Smith, L. N. (2005). Dynamic photometric stereo - A new technique for moving surface analysis. Image and Vision Computing, 23(9), 841-852. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.imavis.2005.01.007

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.

Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium (2005)
Journal Article
de Lacy Costello, B., & Adamatzky, A. (2005). Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium. Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, 25(3), 535-544. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2004.11.056

We experimentally demonstrate that excitation wave-fragments in a Belousov-Zhabotinsky (BZ) medium with immobilised catalyst can be used to build elementary logical gates and circuits. Following our previous theoretical constructions [Adamatzky A. Co... Read More about Experimental implementation of collision-based gates in Belousov-Zhabotinsky medium.

Promoting social change: The experience of health action zones in England (2005)
Journal Article
Barnes, M., Judge, K., Bauld, L., Judge, J., Barnes, K., Benzeval, M., …Sullivan, H. (2005). Promoting social change: The experience of health action zones in England. Journal of Social Policy, 34(3), 427-445. https://doi.org/10.1017/S0047279405008858

When New Labour came to power in the UK in 1997 it brought with it a strong commitment to reducing inequality and social exclusion. One strand of its strategy involved a focus on area-based initiatives to reduce the effects of persistent disadvantage...

Encouraging 'environmental action' by exhortation: Evidence from a study in Devon (2005)
Journal Article
Gilg, A., & Barr, S. (2005). Encouraging 'environmental action' by exhortation: Evidence from a study in Devon. Journal of Environmental Planning and Management, 48(4), 593-618. https://doi.org/10.1080/09640560500128533

National and local campaigns to encourage 'Environmental Action' use a range of media to increase the levels of activities such as recycling, energy saving and water conservation. These are conventionally focused on the population as a whole. The res... Read More about Encouraging 'environmental action' by exhortation: Evidence from a study in Devon.

Some issues regarding spectral element meshes for moving journal bearing systems (2005)
Journal Article
Gwynllyw, D. R., & Phillips, T. N. (2005). Some issues regarding spectral element meshes for moving journal bearing systems. International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, 48(4), 423-454. https://doi.org/10.1002/fld.932

This paper concerns the modelling of dynamically loaded journal bearing systems using a moving spectral element method. The moving grid method employed in this paper is the arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) method. The ALE methodology is compared w...
