Biomimicry of crowd evacuation with a slime mould cellular automaton model (2015)
Journal Article

© Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2015. Evacuation is an imminent movement of people away from sources of danger. Evacuation in highly structured environments, e.g. building, requires advance planning and large-scale control. Finding a...

Design of a discrete tracking controller for a magnetic levitation system: A nonlinear rational model approach (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 Fernando Gómez-Salas et al. This work proposes a discrete-time nonlinear rational approximate model for the unstable magnetic levitation system. Based on this model and as an application of the input-output linearization technique, a discrete-...

Relaxed observance of traditional marriage rules allows social connectivity without loss of genetic diversity (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 The Author. Marriage rules, the community prescriptions that dictate who an individual can or cannot marry, are extremely diverse and universally present in traditional societies. A major focus of research in the early decades of modern anthro... Read More about Relaxed observance of traditional marriage rules allows social connectivity without loss of genetic diversity.

EGFR and EGFRvIII analysis in glioblastoma as therapeutic biomarkers (2015)
Journal Article

Copyright © 2014 The Neurosurgical Foundation. Introduction. EGFR and EGFRvIII analysis is of current interest because of new EGFRvIII vaccine trials opened in the UK. EGFR activation promotes cellular proliferation via activation of MAPK and PI3K-Ak... Read More about EGFR and EGFRvIII analysis in glioblastoma as therapeutic biomarkers.

Universality in ant behaviour (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 The Authors. Prediction for social systems is a major challenge. Universality at the social level has inspired a unified theory for urban living but individual variation makes predicting relationships within societies difficult. Here, we show...

Physarum polycephalum: Towards a biological controller (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. Microbial fuels cells (MFCs) are bio-electrochemical transducers that generate energy from the metabolism of electro-active microorganisms. The organism Physarum polycephalum is a slime mould, which has demonstrated many... Read More about Physarum polycephalum: Towards a biological controller.

Predictive value of abnormally raised serum bilirubin in acute appendicitis: A cohort study (2015)
Journal Article

© 2014 Surgical Associates Ltd. Appendicitis is a common clinical diagnosis aided by biochemical, haematological and radiological investigations. The role of some investigations, such as bilirubin, is controversial but could indicate complicated appe...

Enzymatic Oxygen Microsensor Based on Bilirubin Oxidase Applied to Microbial Fuel Cells Analysis (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim. A selective oxygen biosensor based on bilirubin oxidase (BOx) was developed. The sensor was used for determining oxygen profiles in a membraneless, single-chamber microbial fuel cell (SCMFC), fed w...

Measurement bias in activation-recovery intervals from unipolar electrograms (2015)
Journal Article

© the American Physiological Society. The activation-recovery interval (ARI) calculated from unipolar electrograms is regularly used as a convenient surrogate measure of local cardiac action potential durations (APD). This method enables important re... Read More about Measurement bias in activation-recovery intervals from unipolar electrograms.

Speech and Gesture Emphasis Effects for Robotic and Human Communicators: A Direct Comparison (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

© 2015 ACM. Emphasis, by means of either pitch accents or beat gestures (rhythmic co-verbal gestures with no semantic meaning), has been shown to serve two main purposes in human communication: syntactic disambiguation and salience. To use beat gestu... Read More about Speech and Gesture Emphasis Effects for Robotic and Human Communicators: A Direct Comparison.
