Multiuser scheduling on the LTE downlink with simulated annealing (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In this paper, the issue of multi-user radio resource scheduling on the downlink of a Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular communication system is addressed. An optimization model has been proposed in [1], where radio resources for multiple users are j... Read More about Multiuser scheduling on the LTE downlink with simulated annealing.

Ants in a labyrinth: A statistical mechanics approach to the division of labour (2011)
Journal Article

Division of labour (DoL) is a fundamental organisational principle in human societies, within virtual and robotic swarms and at all levels of biological organisation. DoL reaches a pinnacle in the insect societies where the most widely used model is... Read More about Ants in a labyrinth: A statistical mechanics approach to the division of labour.

Group dynamics and record signals in the ant Temnothorax albipennis (2011)
Journal Article

Many purely physical complex systems, in which there are both stochasticity and local interactions between the components, exhibit record dynamics. The temporal statistics of record dynamics is a Poisson process operating on a logarithmic rather than... Read More about Group dynamics and record signals in the ant Temnothorax albipennis.

Outcomes from stimulation of the caudal zona incerta and pedunculopontine nucleus in patients with Parkinson's disease (2011)
Journal Article

Introduction. Axial symptoms including postural instability, falls and failure of gait initiation are some of the most disabling motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD). We performed bilateral deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the pedunculopontine n...

Blinkered teaching: Tandem running by visually impaired ants (2011)
Journal Article

During tandem runs, one ant worker recruits another to an important resource. Here, we begin to investigate how dependent are tandem leaders and followers on visual cues by painting over their compound eyes to impair their vision. There are two ways...

Time-course of attentional bias for threat-related cues in patients with chronic daily headache-tension type: Evidence for the role of anger (2011)
Journal Article

This study investigated the role of anger in attentional bias for linguistic threat-related stimuli in individuals with chronic daily headache (CDH) tension type and healthy controls. Attentional bias was assessed using a visual probe task which pres...
