Analytical and Computational Methods for Analyzing Feedback Structure in System Dynamics Models
(2012-07-10)The system dynamics approach is based on the observation that dynamic behaviour arises as a result of endogenous interactions, particularly the interplay of various feedback loops. There are many open questions relating ... -
Chondrogenic and vascular priming: an endochondral ossification approach to bone tissue regeneration
(2015-11-30)Tissue engineering and regenerative medicine have significant potential to treat bone pathologies by exploiting the capacity for bone progenitors to grow and produce tissue constituents under specific biochemical and ... -
Experimental investigations of driven cast-in-situ piles
(2014-08-29)The prediction of displacement pile capacity in sand is hampered by the extreme changes in stress which occur in the immediate vicinity of the pile during installation (Randolph 2003). High quality instrumented tests on ... -
Fuzzy k-mers and their application to comparative genome assembly
(2013-10-22)The application of k-mer matching to problems in the field of bioinformatics is long established, with k-mer techniques underpinning standard heuristic approaches to sequence alignment and genome assembly. Despite their ... -
Utilising Wikipedia for text mining applications
(2015-10-08)The process whereby inferences are made from textual data is broadly referred to as text mining. In order to ensure the quality and effectiveness of the derived inferences, several approaches have been proposed for different ...
