The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks (2002)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2002). The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks. Neural Processing Letters, 15, 97-104. https://doi.org/10.1023/A%3A1015292818897

We show in this brief paper the equivalence of the support vector machine and regularization neural networks. We prove both implication sides of the equivalence in a generally applicable way. The novelty lies in the effective construction of the regu... Read More about The equivalence of support vector machine and regularization neural networks.

Comparison of Calibration Methods for the Monitoring of a Fluorobenzene Batch Reaction Using Low-Field 19F NMR, 1H NMR, NIR, and Raman Spectrometries (2002)
Journal Article
Nordon, A., Meunier, C., McGill, C. A., & Littlejohn, D. (2002). Comparison of Calibration Methods for the Monitoring of a Fluorobenzene Batch Reaction Using Low-Field 19F NMR, 1H NMR, NIR, and Raman Spectrometries. Applied Spectroscopy, 56(4), 515-520. https://doi.org/10.1366/0003702021954971

The suitability of different process spectrometry techniques has been assessed, in terms of calibration requirements, accuracy, and precision, for the at-line monitoring of the sulfonation of fluorobenzene. Partial least-squares (PLS) calibration was...

Avian allergic skin disease. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fraser, M. (2002, April). Avian allergic skin disease. Paper presented at British Veterinary Dermatology Study Group Spring Meeting

A great deal of controversy surrounds whether or not allergic skin disease actually exists in birds. Many reports of allergic skin disease are anecdotal and little research has been done in this area.

Male mate choice and male-male competition coexist in the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae). (2002)
Journal Article
Craig, A. S., Herman, L. M., & Pack, A. A. (2002). Male mate choice and male-male competition coexist in the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae). Canadian Journal of Zoology, 80(4), 745-755. https://doi.org/10.1139/z02-050

Male humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) outnumber females on the winter grounds and compete physically for proximity to females. Analyses of identification photographs collected in Hawai¢i from 1976 through
1995 and scan samples collected in 1... Read More about Male mate choice and male-male competition coexist in the humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae)..

Optimisation of Reed-Muller PLA implementations. (2002)
Journal Article
Wang, L. Y., & Almaini, A. E. A. (2002). Optimisation of Reed-Muller PLA implementations. IEE proceedings. Circuits, devices, and systems, 149, 119-128. https://doi.org/10.1049/ip-cds%3A20020354

Decomposition techniques are utilised for mixed polarity Reed-Muller minimisation, which lead to Reed-Muller programmable logic array implementations for Boolean functions. The proposed algorithm produces a simplified mixed polarity Reed-Muller forma... Read More about Optimisation of Reed-Muller PLA implementations..

Accurate quantification of the proton NMR spectra of human brain metabolites. (2002)
Thesis
Bruce, S. D. Accurate quantification of the proton NMR spectra of human brain metabolites. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/5731

Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) can give chemically specific information about
biological tissue and has become an active area of research in human metabolism in health
and disease. In particular, the (1)H MKS modality is suited to studies of... Read More about Accurate quantification of the proton NMR spectra of human brain metabolites..

Transcription Mapping as a Tool in Phage Genomics: The Case of the Temperate Streptococcus thermophilus Phage Sfi21 (2002)
Journal Article
Ventura, M., Foley, S., Bruttin, A., Chennoufi, S. C., Canchaya, C., & Brüssow, H. (2002). Transcription Mapping as a Tool in Phage Genomics: The Case of the Temperate Streptococcus thermophilus Phage Sfi21. Virology, 296(1), 62-76. https://doi.org/10.1006/viro.2001.1331

For the lytic growth cycle of the temperate cos-site Streptococcus thermophilus phage Sfi21 a transcription map was developed on the basis of systematic Northern blot hybridizations. All deduced 5′ ends were confirmed by primer extension analysis. Th...

Understanding how to improve the accessibility of computers through cursor control studies (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Keates, S., Clarkson, P. J., & Robinson, P. (2002, April). Understanding how to improve the accessibility of computers through cursor control studies. Presented at CHI '02 Human Factors in Computing Systems, Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA

People with motion-impairments often find it difficult to perform many of the actions required to interact with a computer. This paper presents the results of an on-going series of experiments designed to understand how using force feedback affects i...
