Protein interaction network topology analysis for drug target discovery (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lynden, S., Idowu, O., Periorellis, P., Young, M., & Andras, P. (2004). Protein interaction network topology analysis for drug target discovery. In Japan Human Proteomics 2004 (54-54). https://doi.org/10.14889/jhupo.2004.0.54.0

The aim of our work is to accumulate protein interaction data and to develop computational techniques for analysing the topologies of protein interaction networks to reveal network vulnerabilities. We have developed a variety of network analysis algo... Read More about Protein interaction network topology analysis for drug target discovery.

Personification technologies: developing artificial companions for older people. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mival, O., Cringean, S., & Benyon, D. (2004). Personification technologies: developing artificial companions for older people. In CHI 2004 conference proceedings : Connect

This paper reports on the work of the UTOPIA project, a consortium of four Scottish universities concerned with technology issues for older people, focusing specifically on artificial companionship. The importance of companionship to the emotional an... Read More about Personification technologies: developing artificial companions for older people..

Improving vehicle routing using a customer waiting time colony. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sa'adah, S., Ross, P., & Paechter, B. (2004, April). Improving vehicle routing using a customer waiting time colony

In the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), there are two main objectives. The primary objective is to reduce the number of vehicles, the secondary one is to minimise the total distance travelled by all vehicles. This paper describes so...

Using technology to positively influence dietary knowledge in colorectal clinic patients. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dyer, K. J., Buckner, K., Richardson, R. A., & Fearon, K. C. H. (2004). Using technology to positively influence dietary knowledge in colorectal clinic patients.

Colorectal cancer is a major public health problem that is strongly associated
with poor diet. The acceptability and effectiveness of a nutrition education website
was investigated in those attending cancer-screening clinics. Sixteen subjects
were... Read More about Using technology to positively influence dietary knowledge in colorectal clinic patients..

Pattern languages: a new paradigm for neurocomputation (2004)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2004). Pattern languages: a new paradigm for neurocomputation. Neurocomputing, 58-60, 223-228. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2004.01.047

Existing neurocomputation models do not describe very faithfully biological neural systems. Here we offer a new look at neural activity data, by introducing the paradigm of pattern languages. Biological examples are presented to provide the biologica... Read More about Pattern languages: a new paradigm for neurocomputation.

Towards the wireless ward: evaluating a trial of networked PDAs in the National Health Service. (2004)
Book Chapter
Turner, P., Milne, G., Turner, S., Kubitscheck, M., & Penman, I. (2004). Towards the wireless ward: evaluating a trial of networked PDAs in the National Health Service. In Mobile and Ubiquitous Information Access. Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-24641-1_15

In this paper, we describe a pilot study of the clinical use of a wireless network of personal digital assistants (PDAs). We describe how we are dealing with the concerns of the clinicians with respect to maintaining the security of patient records a...

The Past, Present, and Future of Information Policy: Towards a normative theory of the information society (2004)
Journal Article
Duff, A. S. (2004). The Past, Present, and Future of Information Policy: Towards a normative theory of the information society. Information, Communication and Society, 7(1), 69-87. https://doi.org/10.1080/1369118042000208906

The profile of information policy in academic and policy-making circles has been rising in recent decades, a function, presumably, of the expansion of an 'information society'. Nevertheless, there is widespread confusion over its meaning and purpose....

The sickness of an information society: R.H.Tawney and the post-industrial condition. (2004)
Journal Article
Duff, A. (2004). The sickness of an information society: R.H.Tawney and the post-industrial condition. Information, Communication and Society, 7(3), 403-422. https://doi.org/10.1080/1369118042000284632

R. H. Tawney is frequently cited as one of the most distinguished social theorists of the twentieth century, and his position in the British school of ethical, democratic socialism is assured. This paper revisits that contribution for the so-called p... Read More about The sickness of an information society: R.H.Tawney and the post-industrial condition..
