SimConnector: An approach to testing disaster-alerting systems using agent based simulation models (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Niazi, M., Siddique, Q., Hussain, A., & Fortino, G. (2011, September). SimConnector: An approach to testing disaster-alerting systems using agent based simulation models. Presented at 2011 Federated Conference on Computer Science and Information Systems (FedCSIS), Szczecin, Poland

The design, development and testing of intelligent disaster detection and alerting systems pose a set of non-trivial problems. Not only are such systems difficult to design as they need to accurately predict real-world outcomes using a distributed se...

Enhancing the impact of LIS research projects (2011)
Report
Cruickshank, P., Hall, H., & Taylor-Smith, E. (2011). Enhancing the impact of LIS research projects. Edinburgh: Research Information Network

This report covers extent to which funded research projects in the domain of library and information science (LIS) influence practice in the UK. It focuses particularly on identifying factors that increase or hinder the impact of research findings on... Read More about Enhancing the impact of LIS research projects.

Ontology-driven cardiovascular decision support system (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Farooq, K., Hussain, A., Leslie, S., Eckl, C., & Slack, W. (2011, May). Ontology-driven cardiovascular decision support system. Presented at 2011 5th International Conference on Pervasive Computing Technologies for Healthcare (PervasiveHealth) and Workshops, Dublin, Ireland

We discuss work-in-progress and propose an ontology driven framework for the development of a clinical expert system for chest pain risk assessment. The framework has the following key components: adaptive questionnaire, patient medical history, risk... Read More about Ontology-driven cardiovascular decision support system.

The value of relative quality in video delivery (2011)
Journal Article
Menkovski, V., Exarchakos, G., & Liotta, A. (2011). The value of relative quality in video delivery. Journal of Mobile Multimedia, 7(3), 151-162

Estimating perceived quality of video is typically done by gauging the user's response on an absolute scale of ratings (excellent, good, fair, poor and bad). However, the internal representation of these adjectives to the stimuli varies significantly... Read More about The value of relative quality in video delivery.

Youth participation through distributed discussion. (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pruulmann-Vengerfeldt, P., Taylor-Smith, E., & Kimpeler, S. (2011, September). Youth participation through distributed discussion. Paper presented at 5th International Conference on Theory and Practice of Electronic Governance

The paper describes an eParticipation project, piloted in four EU countries: Estonia, Germany, Ireland and the UK. HUWY, Hub Websites for Youth Participation, was an initiative where young people were invited to think about current and future problem...

A side-effects mapping model in patients with lung, colorectal and breast cancer receiving chemotherapy (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mazzocco, T., & Hussain, A. (2011, June). A side-effects mapping model in patients with lung, colorectal and breast cancer receiving chemotherapy. Presented at 2011 IEEE 13th International Conference on e-Health Networking, Applications and Services, Columbia, MO, USA

Cancer treatments are now more effective than ever and, as a consequence, cancer is becoming a chronic disease. Chemotherapy is a frequently used treatment in people with cancer and it can cause a number of side-effects which if not properly managed...

Simultaneous measurement of membrane potential changes in multiple pattern generating neurons using voltage sensitive dye imaging (2011)
Journal Article
Städele, C., Andras, P., & Stein, W. (2012). Simultaneous measurement of membrane potential changes in multiple pattern generating neurons using voltage sensitive dye imaging. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 203(1), 78-88. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneumeth.2011.09.015

Optical imaging using voltage-sensitive dyes (VSDs) is a promising technique for the simultaneous activity recording of many individual neurons. While such simultaneous recordings are critical for the understanding of the integral functionality of ne...
