An investigation of volatile organic compounds from the saliva of healthy individuals using headspace-trap/GC-MS (2013)
Journal Article

Analysis of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from saliva, to aid disease diagnoses, has received little attention. This work aims to address the paucity of information on saliva volatiles and includes a database of newly identified compounds whilst...

A Pilot Study Combining a GC-Sensor Device with a Statistical Model for the Identification of Bladder Cancer from Urine Headspace (2013)
Journal Article

There is a need to reduce the number of cystoscopies on patients with haematuria. Presently there are no reliable biomarkers to screen for bladder cancer. In this paper, we evaluate a new simple in-house fabricated, GC-sensor device in the diagnosis...

Gaussian lower bounds on the Dirichlet heat kernel and non-existence of local solutions for semilinear heat equations of Osgood type (2013)
Journal Article

We give a simple proof of a lower bound for the Dirichlet heat kernel in terms of the Gaussian heat kernel. Using this we establish a non-existence result for semilinear heat equations with zero Dirichlet boundary conditions and initial data in $L^q... Read More about Gaussian lower bounds on the Dirichlet heat kernel and non-existence of local solutions for semilinear heat equations of Osgood type.

UAV horizon tracking using memristors and cellular automata visual processing (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV)s can control their altitude and orientation using the horizon as a reference. Typically this task is performed via edge-detection vision processing techniques implemented in a computer or digital electronics. We demonst...

The Development of Novel Fuel Dehydrating Icing Inhibitors (2013)
Journal Article

Dissolved water is a normal component of jet fuel which is vapourised during combustion; however, free water is a contaminant that can starve engines, freeze to form ice crystals capable of blocking fuel feeds, support microbial growth, and contribut...

Slime extralligence: Developing a wearable sensorial and computing network with physarum polycephalum
Preprint / Working Paper

We proposed, and partly implement in laboratory conditions, an intelligent adaptive living network wearable by humans and robots. When grown on 3D bodies (living or inanimate) the living Physarum network provide a highly-distributed sensorial struc...

Logic gates and complex dynamics in a hexagonal cellular automaton: The spiral rule (2013)
Journal Article

In previous works, hexagonal cellular automata (CA) have been studied as a variation of the famous Game of Life CA, mainly for spiral phenomena simulations; where the most interesting constructions are related to the Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction. In... Read More about Logic gates and complex dynamics in a hexagonal cellular automaton: The spiral rule.

Nano-assembly with cells from particle interaction based on collisions of mobile localizations in cellular automata (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

An automatic process is proposed by construct nano-assambly devices, derived from a set of synchorinsed collisions between multiple particles, such an automation is based on programming regular expressions and finite state machines.

Flexible time and ether in one-dimensional cellular automata (2013)
Thesis

A one-dimensional cellular automaton is an infinite row of identical machines---the cells---which depend for their behaviour only on the states of their direct neighbours. This thesis introduces a new way to think about one-dimensional cellular au... Read More about Flexible time and ether in one-dimensional cellular automata.

Practical circuits with Physarum Wires (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, Korean Society of Medical and Biological Engineering and Springer. Purpose: Protoplasmic tubes of Physarum polycephalum, also know as Physarum Wires (PW), have been previously suggested as novel bio-electronic components. Until recently, prac...

On hybrid circuits exploiting thermistive properties of slime mould (2016)
Journal Article

Slime mould Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by the unaided eye. Let the slime mould span two electrodes with a single protoplasmic tube: if the tube is heated to approximately ≈40 °C, the electrical resistance of the protoplasmic tube...

On the development of slime mould morphological, intracellular and heterotic computing devices (2016)
Thesis

The use of live biological substrates in the fabrication of unconventional computing (UC) devices is steadily transcending the barriers between science fiction and reality, but efforts in this direction are impeded by ethical considerations, the fiel...

Spontaneous bursting spike patterns seen in simple three memristor circuits
Journal Article

The distinctive switching spikes seen in single memristors are suppressed in networks of memristors. Instead oscillatory behaviour interrrupted by spontaneous irregular bursting spike patterns are seen. An investigation of two and three memrisor circ...

Dynamical genetic programming in XCSF (2013)
Journal Article

A number of representation schemes have been presented for use within learning classifier systems, ranging from binary encodings to artificial neural networks. This paper presents results from an investigation into using a temporally dynamic symbolic... Read More about Dynamical genetic programming in XCSF.

Designing complex dynamics in cellular automata with memory (2013)
Journal Article

Since their inception at Macy conferences in later 1940s, complex systems have remained the most controversial topic of interdisciplinary sciences. The term "complex system" is the most vague and liberally used scientific term. Using elementary cellu... Read More about Designing complex dynamics in cellular automata with memory.

Imitation programming unorganised machines (2013)
