A series of rare earth (RE) (La, Nd, Pr) ceria
zirconia materials were analysed for their soot combustion
activity in air and in NO/O2. The materials were characterised
using DRIFT spectroscopy. In general the presence
of ...
This paper presents an approach to the Mario AI Benchmark problem, using the A* algorithm for navigation, and an evolutionary process combining routines for the reactiveness of the resulting bot. The Grammatical Evolution ...
This work has studied a range of acidic catalysts which have been prepared through the modification of mesoporous silica materials. Specifically we have prepared –SO3H modified materials (in the presence and absence of a ...
Consumers frequently rely on user-generated product reviews to guide purchasing decisions. Given the ever increasing volume of such reviews and variations in review
quality, consumers require assistance to effectively ...
Classic computing systems are characterised by heterogeneity, with its inherent advantages and disadvantages. This
raises a number of difficulties for software engineers. The vision offered by a mix-and-match approach is ...
Sensing, monitoring and actuating systems are expected to play a key role in reducing buildings overall energy consumption. Leveraging sensor systems to support energy efficiency in buildings poses novel research challenges ...
Genetic Programming is a form of Natural Computing which adopts principles from neo-Darwinian evolution to automatically solve problems. It is a model induction method in that both the structure and parameters of the ...
This paper describes recent results concerning the notions of differentiability and harmonicity with respect to the ne topology of classical potential theory.
In this paper we focus on an approach to social search, HeyStaks that is designed to integrate with mainstream search engines such as Google, Yahoo and Bing. HeyStaks is motivated by the idea that Web search is an inherently ...

With the growing availability of geo-referenced information on the Web, the problem of spatial information overload has attracted interest both in the commercial and academic world. In order to tackle this issue, personalisation ...
While search engines are the primary means by which information is located online, significant issues remain when trying to satisfy the needs of searchers, especially in the face of the type of vague queries
that dominate ...
For the main part, when it comes to questions of retrieval, the focus of CBR research has been on the retrieval of cases from a repository of experience knowledge or case base. In this paper we consider a complementary ...
In this paper we focus on a multi-case case-based reasoning system to support users during collaborative search tasks. In particular we describe how repositories of search experiences/knowledge can be recommended to users ...
Recently the world of the web has become more social and more real-time. Facebook and Twitter are perhaps the exemplars of a new generation of social, real-time web services
and we believe these types of service provide ...
Natural and man-made brittle layers embedded in a weaker matrix and subjected to layer-parallel extension typically develop an array of opening-mode fractures with a remarkably regular spacing. This
spacing often scales ...
The human prostacyclin receptor (hIP) undergoes agonist-induced internalization but the mechanisms regulating its intracellular trafficking and/or recycling to the plasma membrane are poorly understood. Herein, we conducted ...
Seven adaptive approaches to post-processing wind speed forecasts are discussed and compared. 48-hour forecasts are run at horizontal resolutions of 7 km and 3 km for a domain centred over Ireland. Forecast wind speeds ...
Thromboxane plays an essential role in haemostasis, regulating platelet aggregation and vessel tone. In humans, it signals through the TPalpha and TPbeta isoforms that are transcriptionally regulated by distinct promoters, ...
Prostacyclin and its prostacyclin receptor, the IP, play essential roles in regulating haemostasis and vascular tone and have also been implicated in a range cardio-protective effects, but through largely unknown mechanisms. ...
