A method for finding implicating rules based on the genetic algorithm (2007)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In information system, some rules have implicating relations (called implicating rules), but some rules have not. An approach of finding implicating rules based on the genetic algorithm is proposed. Some properties of independence and correlation of... Read More about A method for finding implicating rules based on the genetic algorithm.

UMTS base station location planning: A mathematical model and heuristic optimisation algorithms (2007)
Journal Article

Radio networks of universal mobile telecommunication system (UMTS) need accurate planning and optimisation, and many factors not seen in second generation (2G) networks must be considered. However, planning and optimisation of UMTS radio networks are... Read More about UMTS base station location planning: A mathematical model and heuristic optimisation algorithms.

Expression of 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, cytochrome P450-c17, and sulfotransferase 2B1 proteins in liver and testis of pigs of two breeds: Relationship with adipose tissue androstenone concentration (2007)
Journal Article

An excessive accumulation of androstenone in pig adipose tissue is a major contributor to the phenomenon of boar taint. Androstenone deposition is dependent on the rate of androstenone biosynthesis in testis and androstenone degradation in liver. The...

Voltammetric behavior of p-nitrophenol and its trace determination in human urine by liquid chromatography with a dual reductive mode electrochemical detection system (2007)
Journal Article

The determination of trace p-nitrophenol (PNP) concentrations in human urine has been successfully achieved by high performance liquid chromatography dual electrode detection (LC-DED) in the reduction-reduction mode. Initial cyclic voltammetric studi...

Understanding learning cultures (2007)
Journal Article

This paper sets out an explanation about the nature of learning cultures and how they work. In so doing, it directly addresses some key weaknesses in current situated learning theoretical writing, by working to overcome unhelpful dualisms, such as th...

Natural and anthropogenic contamination of the Fratta-Gorzone river (Veneto, Italy) (2007)
Journal Article

Stream-bed sediment samples were collected in 2001 and 2004 along the Fratta-Gorzone River (Italy) to assess the level of heavy metal contamination. The river stretch most affected by discharges of tannery effluent showed total and pseudo-total Cr le...

Particle tracking in Taylor-Couette flow (2007)
Journal Article

The paths of small inertial particles are computed in a steady Taylor vortex background flow. When buoyancy effects are neglected we find that particles denser than the background fluid tend to a limit orbit in the meridional plane. The difference in...

Conceptions of early leaving: A comparison of the views of teaching staff and students (2007)
Journal Article

Recent synthesizing work on the student retention literature suggests two divergent discourses. The first is a discourse of assimilation which locates the problem in individual students' circumstances or abilities. This is challenged by an emerging d...

A photometric stereo approach to face recognition (2007)
Thesis

Face recognition has received much interest in the last decade, as the need for reliable personal identification security has become ever more critical. At present for face recognition to be a viable personal identification method an accurate low cos... Read More about A photometric stereo approach to face recognition.

Managing appearance changes resulting from cancer treatment: Resilience in adolescent females (2007)
Journal Article

Typically, adolescence is marked by cognitive and physical developments impacting on self-esteem, independence and sexual awareness, often resulting in increased appearance awareness and dissatisfaction. Adolescents with cancer have the additional bu... Read More about Managing appearance changes resulting from cancer treatment: Resilience in adolescent females.

Influencing cognitive strategy by manipulating information access (2007)
Journal Article

Recent developments in technology have meant that operators of complex systems, such as those found in the modern aircraft cockpit, now have access to an unprecedented volume of information. Significant focus within computer science and engineering h... Read More about Influencing cognitive strategy by manipulating information access.

Improving food security in Swaziland: The transition from subsistence to communally managed cash cropping (2007)
Journal Article

The Komati Downstream Development Project (KDDP), based upon the Maguga Dam has enabled 6,000 hectares of semi-arid lowveld, in a region with low and highly variable rainfall to be converted from subsistence to irrigated commercial farming, mainly of...
