A cognitively plausible measure of semantic similarity between geographic concepts is valuable across several areas, including geographic information retrieval, data mining, and ontology alignment. Semantic similarity ...
We have recently developed a novel and efficient method for synthesising Erlenmeyer azlactones under mild and rapid conditions. The reaction is performed by reacting 2-phenyl-5-oxazolone with an aldehyde in dichloromethane ...
Gestural interfaces are now a familiar mode of user interaction and gestural input is an important part of the way that users can interact with such interfaces. However, entering gestures accurately and efficiently can be ...
Many next generation lithography schemes for the semiconductor industry are based on a 13.5-nm tin plasma light source, where hundreds of thousands of 4d-4f, 4p-4d, and 4d-5p transitions from Sn5+–Sn13+ ions overlap to ...
Wireless Sensor Networks(WSNs) are primarily regarded as data gathering entities that route data to a central server for subsequent processing. However, as WSN technologies mature and their prevalence increases, it is ...
End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) is an ever increasing problem worldwide. However the mechanisms underlying disease progression are not fully elucidated. This work addressed the nephrotoxicity induced by the immunosuppressive ...
In this paper we describe the results of a live-user study to demonstrate the benefits of using the social search utility HeyStaks, a novel approach to Web search that combines ideas from personalization and social networking ...
The digital camera revolution has changed the world of photography and now most people have access to, and even regularly carry, a digital camera. Often these cameras have been designed with simplicity in mind: they harness ...
The motivation behind many Information Retrieval systems is to identify and present relevant information to people given their current goals and needs. Learning about user preferences and access patterns recent technologies ...
Modern computing systems require powerful software frameworks to ease their development and manage their complexity. These issues are addressed within both Component-Based Software Engineering and Agent-Oriented Software ...
This article gives a brief description of the Degenerate Unmixing Estimation Technique (DUET) and applies it in a geophysical setting. Source separation has not been fully
addressed by geophysicists and is a crucial first ...
Bovine tuberculosis (TB) is primarily a disease of cattle. In both Ireland and the UK, badgers (Meles meles) are an important wildlife reservoir of infection. This paper examined the hypothesis that TB is spatially correlated ...
Dye sensitised solar cells (DSSCs) use a mesoporous TiO2 scaffold, typically assisted by an adsorbed dye, as the main active element, responsible for the photon absorption, exciton generation and charge separation ...
We examine spatial association of bovine TB in cattle herds using data from Ireland.
Badgers (Meles meles), a protected species under the Wildlife Act 1976 (OAG 2012),
have been implicated in the spread of the disease ...
We examine spatial association of bovine TB in cattle herds using data from Ireland. Badgers (Meles meles), a protected species under the Wildlife Act 1976 (OAG 2012), have been implicated in the spread of the disease in ...
Multiple spatial and temporal granularities are essential to extract significant knowledge from datasets at different levels of detail: they enable to zoom-in and zoom-out a dataset, enhancing the data modelling flexibility ...
We have characterized the emission spectrum and temporal history of a pure potassium plasma in a capillary discharge. Strong broadband emission was observed around 40 nm due to 3s−3p, 3p−3d, and 3d−4f transitions in ions ...
A common task in many domains with a temporal aspect involves identifying and tracking clusters over time. Often dynamic data will have a feature-based representation. In some cases, a direct mapping will exist for both ...
A range of unfaulted and faulted bed-scale models with sheet-like bed geometries
have been built and analysed in terms of static bed connectivity and fractional
permeability assuming permeable sands and impermeable shales. ...
An atom-efficient and stereoselective synthesis has been developed for the preparation of a-2H-labelled(S)-a-amino acids, starting from a novel chiral diketopiperazine scaffold. Efficient mono-alkylation of the chiral ...
