The task of identifying sentiment trends in the popular media has long been of interest to analysts and pundits. Until recently, this task has required professional annotators to manually inspect individual articles in ...
Tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a pro-inflammatory cytokine, which is synthesised and released in the brain by astrocytes, microglia and neurons in response to numerous internal and external stimuli. It is involved in ...
We introduce a new method to simulate the physics of rare events. The method, an extension of the Temperature Accelerated Molecular Dynamics, comes in use when the collective variables introduced to characterize the rare ...
User-generated content has dominated the web’s recent growth and today the so-called real-time web provides us with unprecedented access to the real-time opinions, views, and ratings of millions of users. For example, ...
Two bimetallic cryptates (containing Cu and Co), which have previously been shown to react with and activate atmospheric CO2, have been tethered to modified mesoporous SiO2 and their activities in promoting the CO2 + H2 ...
In this work we report the modification of the normal Auger line shape under the action of an intense x-ray radiation. Under strong Rabi-type coupling of the core, the Auger line profile develops into a doublet structure ...
Exercise therapy is prescribed by physiotherapists and
rehabilitation practitioners as part of the treatment programme
for many movement impairment disorders. Poor adherence and
inadequate exercise technique often result ...
Both thromboxane (TX) A2 and 8-epi prostaglandin (PG) F2alpha have been reported to stimulate mitogenesis of vascular smooth muscle (SM) in a number of species. However, TXA2 and 8-epiPGF2alpha mediated mitogenic signalling ...
Since its discovery in 1975, we now have a wealth of knowledge relating to the biochemical, pharmacological and physiologic actions of thromboxane (TX) A2 and its related metabolites. These molecular insights have been ...
Given the potential scale on which a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) can be deployed, multi-hop communication will
be a pivotal component of the system. When redundant nodes are deployed, which are hibernated opportunistically ...
User opinions and reviews are an important part of the modern web and all major e-commerce sites typically provide their users with the ability to provide and access customer reviews across their product catalog. Indeed ...
While web search tasks are often inherently collaborative in nature, many search engines do not explicitly support collaboration
during search. In this paper, we describe HeyStaks (www.heystaks.com), a system that provides ...
Ambient Assisted Living (AAL) is advocated as technological solutions that will enable the elderly population maintain their independence for a longer time than would otherwise be the case. Though the facts motivating the ...
As the age profile of many societies continues to increase,
supporting health, both mental and physical, is of increasing importance
if independent living is to be maintained. Sensing and, ultimately, recognizing
activities ...
As a first step towards ambiphilic SCO systems where the hydrophobic part of the system is introduced by a non-coordinating anion (i.e. where no modification of the ligands to introduce hydrophobic substituents is required), ...
Today’s high calorie diets and low physical activity levels contributes towards childhood obesity. Exergaming, a combination
of ”exercise” and ”gaming” was conceived as a
means of addressing this problem. In this paper ...
Agent Factory is a cohesive framework for the development and
deployment of multi-agent systems. Since its inception in the mid 1990s,
Agent Factory has gone through a metamorphosis process, whereby several
new extensions, ...
A series of Ti-modified mesoporous SiO2 materials (SBA-15 and MCF) are prepared, characterised and used as catalysts in the selective epoxidation of a probe alkene (cyclohexene) using H2O2 as an oxidising agent. Similarly, ...
Abstract. Micro-blogging services are becoming very popular among users who want to share local or global news, their knowledge or their opinions on the real-time web. Lately, users are also using these services to search ...
The conventional wisdom is that certain classes of bioactive peptides have specific structural features that endow their particular functions. Accordingly, predictions of bioactivity have focused on particular subgroups, ...
