Muddying the waters or clearing the stream? Open Science as a communication medium (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Open Science is an approach to the conduct of science in which the whole of an ongoing scientific investigation – data, ideas, questions, plans, results and more – is made available online. Open Science began as a way to facilitate the workings of mu... Read More about Muddying the waters or clearing the stream? Open Science as a communication medium.

New frontiers in science communication: Researchers’ experiences of coming out of the lab (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Researchers are increasingly playing a key role in the public communication of science. This makes understanding researchers’ motivations, and the benefits and barriers they perceive, an important step to ensuring successful direct interactions betwe...

Swarms of metaheuristic agents: A model for collective intelligence (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Swarm intelligence algorithms are created to build collective intelligence based on inherent properties of populations. However, this sort of problem solving approaches use collective evolution of solutions, which make up the population relied on. Th...

Grounding motivation in energy autonomy: A study of artificial metabolism constrained robot dynamics (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

We present an evolutionary robotics investigation into the metabolism constrained homeostatic dynamics of a simulated robot. Unlike existing research that has focused on either energy or motivation autonomy the robot described here is considered in t...

Microbial fuel cell driven behavioral dynamics in robot simulations (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

With the present study we report the first application of a recently proposed model for realistic microbial fuel cells (MFCs) energy generation dynamics, suitable for robotic simulations with minimal and extremely limited computational overhead. A si... Read More about Microbial fuel cell driven behavioral dynamics in robot simulations.

MFCs and algae (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Algae and photosynthetic bacteria may be integrated or associated with Microbial Fuel Cells MFCs in a number of different ways including: (1) use of whole (intact) or lipid-extracted lyzed cells as the primary carbon-energy source for anodic microbia... Read More about MFCs and algae.

Influences of history, geography, and religion on genetic structure: The Maronites in Lebanon (2010)
Journal Article

Cultural expansions, including of religions, frequently leave genetic traces of differentiation and in-migration. These expansions may be driven by complex doctrinal differentiation, together with major population migrations and gene flow. The aim of...

In-cylinder studies of hybrid combustion in a direct injection single-cylinder optical engine (2010)
Journal Article

Over the last decade, controlled autoignition (CAI) combustion, or homogeneous charge compression ignition (HCCI), has been the subject of numerous studies and has shown its potential to reduce fuel consumption and NO x emissions simultaneously from...

Injecting practices and knowledge of the associated risk among 1619-year-old injecting drug users in Plymouth, UK (2010)
Journal Article

There has been significant research into the harms associated with injecting drugs and about the use of needle exchange programmes (NEPs) by adult injecting drug users (IDUs) in the United Kingdom. However, very limited research has been conducted in... Read More about Injecting practices and knowledge of the associated risk among 1619-year-old injecting drug users in Plymouth, UK.

Identifying trade entry and exit timing using mathematical technical indicators in XCS (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper extends current LCS research into financial time series forecasting by analysing the performance of agents utilising mathematical technical indicators for both environment classification and in selecting actions to be executed.
