      Background: The time course and mechanisms of resolution and repair, and the potential for fibrosis following ventilation-induced lung injury (VILI), are unclear. We sought to examine the pattern of inflammation, injury, ...

    • An evolutionary approach to automatic kernel construction 

      Madden, Michael G.; Howley, Tom (2006)
      Abstract. Kernel-based learning presents a unified approach to machine learning problems such as classification and regression. The selection of a kernel and associated parameters is a critical step in the application of ...

    • An evolutionary approach to formation control with mobile robots 

      Holland, Jane; Griffith, Josephine; O'Riordan, Colm (SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
      The field of swarm robotics studies multi-robot systems, emphasising decentralised and self-organising behaviours that deal with limited individual abilities, local sensing and local communication. A robotic system needs ...
