Analysis and detection of cruising computer viruses. (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Abimbola, A., Munoz, J., & Buchanan, W. J. (2004). Analysis and detection of cruising computer viruses.

Viral propagation is an important phenomenon of computer viruses. This paper focuses on viral movement and proposes the feasibility of a computer virus which is able to target a specific host, known as cruising. A novel component, based on target pro...

Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments. (2004)
Journal Article
Willis, A., Gjersoe, N., Havard, C., Kerridge, J., & Kukla, R. (2004). Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments. Environment and planning. B, Planning & design, 31(6), 805-828

Despite a burgeoning research effort directed at the design and modelling of effective urban spaces for pedestrians, remarkably little is known about how pedestrians actually negotiate urban spaces. This paper reports the results of a video-based obs... Read More about Human movement behaviour in urban spaces: Implications for the design and modelling of effective pedestrian environments..

Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tully, G., & Turner, S. (2004). Integrated Decision Points for Interactive Movies. In S. Göbel, U. Spierling, A. Hoffmann, I. Iurgel, O. Schneider, J. Dechau, & A. Feix (Eds.), Technologies for Interactive Digital Storytelling and Entertainment (61-67).

We describe a study which explores alternative means of communicating decision points in an interactive movie. The two variants used novel, non-disruptive cues embedded in the movie itself: a fade to black and white and a zoom effect accompanied by s...

Improved prediction of defibrillation success for out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest using wavelet transform methods (2004)
Journal Article
Watson, J. N., Uchaipichata, N., Addison, P., Clegg, G. R., Robertson, C. E., Eftestol, T., & Steen, P. A. (2004). Improved prediction of defibrillation success for out-of-hospital VF cardiac arrest using wavelet transform methods. Resuscitation, 63(3), 2

We report an improved method for the estimation of shock outcome prediction based on novel wavelet transform-based time-frequency methods. Wavelet-based peak frequency, energy, mean frequency, spectral flatness and a new entropy measure were studied...

Biological cell modelling using quasi static FDTD/lumped element method (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R., Excell, P. S., Qasim, G., & Vaul, J. (2004). Biological cell modelling using quasi static FDTD/lumped element method. . https://doi.org/10.1109/inmic.2004.1492942

Several numerical models have been set up in order to understand the modalities of interaction of electromagnetic (EM) fields with biological systems. This paper demonstrates the application of a quasi-static approximate version of the finite-differe... Read More about Biological cell modelling using quasi static FDTD/lumped element method.

Neural activity pattern systems (2004)
Journal Article
Andras, P. (2005). Neural activity pattern systems. Neurocomputing, 65, 531-536. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neucom.2004.10.041

Understanding how neural systems work needs appropriate models. Here we propose a model that describes neural systems in terms of abstract communication systems. We indicate how to apply the proposed framework to the analysis of real neural systems.

Older worker participation rates and the economy in Scotland (2004)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McQuaid, R. W. (2004). Older worker participation rates and the economy in Scotland.

The ageing of societies in the European Union (EU), and much of the developed world, is one of the main challenges facing the governments. This reduction is due both to relatively more people ceasing work as they reach retirement age, but also due to... Read More about Older worker participation rates and the economy in Scotland.
