Presentation / Conference Contribution
Rossi-Doria, O., Blum, C., Knowles, J., Sampels, M., Socha, K., & Paechter, B. (2002, August). A local search for the timetabling problem. Presented at PATAT 2002

This work is part of the Metaheuristic Network, a European Commission project that seeks to empirically compare the performance of various metaheuristics on different combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper we define a representation, a ne... Read More about A local search for the timetabling problem..

Higher-order statistics-based nonlinear speech analysis (2002)
Journal Article
Soraghan, J. J., Hussain, A., Alkulabi, A., & Durrani, T. (2002). Higher-order statistics-based nonlinear speech analysis. Control and Intelligent Systems, 30, 11-18

A fast and robust three-level binary higher order statistics (HOS) based algorithm for simultaneous voiced/unvoiced detection and pitch estimation of speech signals in coloured noise environments with low SNR is presented. The use of the three-level... Read More about Higher-order statistics-based nonlinear speech analysis.

A GA evolving instructions for a timetable builder. (2002)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Blum, C., Correia, S., Dorigo, M., Paechter, B., Rossi-Doria, O., & Snoek, M. (2002, August). A GA evolving instructions for a timetable builder. Presented at PATAT 2002

In this work we present a Genetic Algorithm for tackling timetabling problems. Our approach uses an indirect solution representation, which denotes a number of instructions for a timetable builder on how to sequentially build a solution. These instru...

Unintentional Injury during Foreign Travel: A Review (2002)
Journal Article
McInnes, R. J., Williamson, L. M., & Morrison, A. (2002). Unintentional Injury during Foreign Travel: A Review. Journal of Travel Medicine, 9(6), 297-307. https://doi.org/10.2310/7060.2002.30168

Unintentional injury is a global public health problem. In 1990, an estimated 5 million people worldwide died as a result of an injury or poisoning. This accounted for 10% of deaths from all causes that year, and over half of the estimated 900 millio... Read More about Unintentional Injury during Foreign Travel: A Review.

Scoping the nursing and midwifery research and development capacity in Scotland to inform the development of a future strategy (2002)
Journal Article

Scotland is currently developing a nursing and midwifery research strategy. This paper briefly describes the process and the groundwork carried out so far. Consultation on initial proposals took place during May 2002 and, as this issue of NT Research...

Background and purpose
Little evidence is currently available on adherence to home physiotherapy within paediatrics. This study aims to provide an indication of the likely size of non-adherence with advised home therapy and identify parents' views o...
