Molecular neuroimaging – A proposal for a novel approach to high resolution recording of neural activity in nervous systems (2009)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2009). Molecular neuroimaging – A proposal for a novel approach to high resolution recording of neural activity in nervous systems. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2009.06.056

Neuroimaging is a key methodology for the understanding of how neural systems work and how neurodynamics leads to neurally controlled behavior in animals. Current neuroimaging methods (e.g. fMRI, MEG, voltage-sensitive dye imaging) provide a critical...

Why are top universities losing their lead? An economics modelling-based approach (2009)
Journal Article
Andras, P., & Charlton, B. G. (2009). Why are top universities losing their lead? An economics modelling-based approach. Science and Public Policy, 36(4), 317-330. https://doi.org/10.3152/030234209X436563

Scientific output of lower-ranked institutions is catching up with leading universities. We present a simple, conceptual model of research production describing the dynamic interaction between inputs (research staff and funding) and outputs (publicat...

Patent
Young, M. P., Andras, P. E., & O'Neill, M. A. (2009). Identifying components of a network having high importance for network integrity. US20090062136A1

A computer system (2) is provided which is arranged to receive network data (1) identifying nodes and links between nodes. The computer system (2) processes the input network data (1) to utilise the network topology to identify nodes and links having...

Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2008). Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games. In Artificial Life XI 2008 (9-16)

Iterated cooperation games (e.g. Prisoner’s Dilemma) are used to analyze the emergence and evolution of cooperation among selfish individuals. Uncertainty of outcomes of games is an important factor that influences the level of cooperation. Communica... Read More about Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games.

Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK (2008)
Journal Article
Hinks, J., Bush, J., Andras, P., Garratt, J., Pigott, G., Kennedy, A., & Pless-Mulloli, T. (2009). Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK. Science of the Total Environment, 407(4), 1299-1306. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scitotenv.2008.10.056

This study examined how groups representing four tiers in the chemical supply chain (manufacturers, vendors, workers and consumers) understood safety information, and the factors that influenced disposal behaviour. Data from seven, semi-structured, f... Read More about Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK.

Uncertainty in iterated cooperation games (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2008). Uncertainty in iterated cooperation games. In 2008 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence) (593-599). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2008.4630856

The emergence and evolution of cooperation among selfish individuals is a key question of theoretical biology. Uncertainty of outcomes of interactions between individuals is an important determinant of cooperative behavior. Here we describe a model t...

Unsupervised segmentation of cell nuclei using geometric models (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fitch, S., Jackson, T., Andras, P., & Robson, C. (2008, May). Unsupervised segmentation of cell nuclei using geometric models. Presented at 2008 5th IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro, Paris, France

Fluorescent microscopy of biological samples allows non-invasive screening of specific molecular events in-situ. This approach is useful for investigating intricate signalling pathways and in the drug discovery process. The large volumes of data invo...

Stimulating revolutionary science with mega-cash prizes (2008)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2008). Stimulating revolutionary science with mega-cash prizes. Medical Hypotheses, 70(4), 709-713. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2008.01.001

We argue that the most ambitious science is intrinsically riskier science, more likely to fail. It is almost always a safer career strategy for the best scientists to seek to extend knowledge more modestly and to build incrementally on existing ideas...

‘Down-shifting’ among top UK scientists? – The decline of ‘revolutionary science’ and the rise of ‘normal science’ in the UK compared with the USA (2008)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2008). ‘Down-shifting’ among top UK scientists? – The decline of ‘revolutionary science’ and the rise of ‘normal science’ in the UK compared with the USA. Medical Hypotheses, 70(3), 465-472. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2007.12.004

It is sometimes asserted that UK science is thriving, at other times that it has declined. We suggest that both assertions are partly true because the UK is thriving with respect to the volume of ‘normal’ science production but at the same time decli...
