Open-source Data Analysis and Machine Learning for Asthma Hospitalisation Rates (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Rooney, L., Chute, C., Buchanan, W. J., Smales, A., & Hepburn, L. (2018). Open-source Data Analysis and Machine Learning for Asthma Hospitalisation Rates. In Proceedings of ThinkMind - GLOBAL HEALTH 2018, The Seventh International Conference on Global Health Challenges

Long-term conditions in Scotland account for 80% of all GP consultations; they also account for 60% of all deaths in Scotland. Asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) are common long-term respiratory diseases [1]. Asthma is a heteroge...

How a view of language underpins approaches to supporting higher education students that facilitate neo-liberalism, and how to resist this (2018)
Journal Article
Richards, K., & Pilcher, N. (2018). How a view of language underpins approaches to supporting higher education students that facilitate neo-liberalism, and how to resist this. Power and Education, 175774381881180. https://doi.org/10.1177/1757743818811801

In this article we argue a particular view of language underpins approaches to supporting students in Higher Education, and that this view facilitates neoliberalism. Universities worldwide have glossaries of terms such as 'describe' or 'discuss', and...

Use of machine learning techniques to model wind damage to forests (2018)
Journal Article
Hart, E., Sim, K., Kamimura, K., Meredieu, C., Guyon, D., & Gardiner, B. (2019). Use of machine learning techniques to model wind damage to forests. Agricultural and forest meteorology, 265, 16-29. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.agrformet.2018.10.022

This paper tested the ability of machine learning techniques, namely artificial neural networks and random forests, to predict the individual trees within a forest most at risk of damage in storms. Models based on these techniques were developed i... Read More about Use of machine learning techniques to model wind damage to forests.

Impact of cyberattacks on stock performance: a comparative study (2018)
Journal Article
Tweneboah-Kodua, S., Atsu, F., & Buchanan, W. (2018). Impact of cyberattacks on stock performance: a comparative study. Information and Computer Security, 26(5), 637-652. https://doi.org/10.1108/ics-05-2018-0060

The study uses cyberattacks announcements on 96 firms that are listed on S&P 500 over the period January 03, 2013 and December 29, 2017. The empirical analysis was performed in two ways: cross-section and industry level. We employ statistical tests... Read More about Impact of cyberattacks on stock performance: a comparative study.

Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Mirza, N., Taylor, H., Abdelshafy, M., King, P., Romdhani, I., & Alghamdi, A. (2018). Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs. In Proceedings of the International Symposium on Networks, Computers and Communications (ISNCC). https://doi.org/10.1109/ISNCC.2018.8530886

Utilising multiple disjoint paths in multiple channels can improve network performance by enabling a node to reroute data along discovered paths seamlessly when link failure is detected. However, depending on a stale route to recover from a broken li... Read More about Cross-Layer Multipath Multichannel MAC protocol for MANETs.

MOSAIC: Simultaneous Localization and Environment Mapping using mmWave without a-priori Knowledge (2018)
Journal Article
Yassin, A., Nasser, Y., Al-Dubai, A., & Awad, M. (2018). MOSAIC: Simultaneous Localization and Environment Mapping using mmWave without a-priori Knowledge. IEEE Access, 6, 68932-68947. https://doi.org/10.1109/access.2018.2879436

Simultaneous Localization and environment mapping (SLAM) is the core to robotic mapping and navigation as it constructs simultaneously the unknown environment and localizes the agent within. However, in millimeter wave (mmWave) research, SLAM is stil... Read More about MOSAIC: Simultaneous Localization and Environment Mapping using mmWave without a-priori Knowledge.

Using P4 to enable scalable intents in software defined networks (2018)
Conference Proceeding
Lewis, B., Fawcett, L., Broadbent, M., & Race, N. (2018). Using P4 to enable scalable intents in software defined networks. In 2018 IEEE 26th International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP) (442-443). https://doi.org/10.1109/ICNP.2018.00064

When designing Software Defined Networks (SDNs), there is a risk that the additional abstractions available can result in reduced scalability and performance. One such abstraction, intents, are a way in which network administrators can express polici... Read More about Using P4 to enable scalable intents in software defined networks.
