Chondrogenic induction of mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from Wharton's jelly embedded in alginate hydrogel and without added growth factor: an alternative stem cell source for cartilage tissue engineering
(BioMed Central, 2015-12-30)Background: Due to their intrinsic properties, stem cells are promising tools for new developments in tissue engineering and particularly for cartilage tissue regeneration. Although mesenchymal stromal/stem cells from bone ... -
Classification applied to brain haemorrhage detection: Initial phantom studies using electrical impedance measurements
(EIT2018, 2018-06-11)Machine learning and classification algorithms are applied to data collected from an EIT system. The system is used with an anatomically accurate head phantom setup in a variety of situations modelling normal and haemorrhagic ... -
Classification of a Target Analyte in Solid Mixtures using Principal Component Analysis, Support Vector Machines and Raman Spectroscopy
(2005)The quantitative analysis of illicit materials using Raman spectroscopy is of widespread interest for law enforcement and healthcare applications. One of the difficulties faced when analysing illicit mixtures is the ... -
Cloud computing and consumer electronics: a perfect match or a hidden storm? [Soapbox]
(IEEE, 2012-04)Cloud computing has emerged strongly into the consumer domain. As industry competes to gain market share from the rapidly growing multitudes of cloud-IT users, both network and data center infrastructures will grow more ... -
Co-evolutionary analysis: a policy exploration method for system dynamics models
(System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-10-22)In system dynamics (SD), complex nonlinear systems can generate a wide range of possible behaviours that frequently require search and optimization algorithms in order to explore optimal policies. Within the SD literature, ... -
Collaboration and enterprise networks: What about SMEs?
(2004)This paper describes the research and analysis realised in relation to the creation of enterprise networks, based on the networked enterprise model, in European SMEs. It focuses on the barriers to inter-firm collaboration ... -
A collaborative knowledge management tool for product innovation
(2000)In order to create and deliver innovative new products and services at an ever increasing rate, manufacturing enterprises must adopt a deliberate and systematic approach to managing the drivers of innovation. Managing the ... -
A collaborative knowledge management tool for product innovation management
(Inderscience Publishers, 2003)Contemporary business systems are becoming increasingly competitive. Faster and smarter technology, although imperative, is not enough to survive in dynamic environments. Modern enterprises must adopt a deliberate and ... -
Collaborative Virtual Environments to Support Communication and Community in Internet-Based Distance Education
(jite.org, 2002)In this paper we discuss the use of modern information and communication technologies for distance education (DE) purposes. We argue that current technologies and implementations do not adequately support the key concepts ... -
A combined approach to feature extraction for mouth characterization and tracking
(IEEE, 2009-02-10)A statistical Active Appearance Model (AAM) is developed to model and track the lips. A major challenge in modelling the mouth area, considered the most deformable facial feature, is the weak contrast between lips and skin ... -
A combined experimental-numerical approach for generating statistically equivalent fibre distributions for high strength laminated composite materials
(Elsevier, 2009-11-04)A technique is presented where actual experimental distributions, measured from a high strength carbon fibre composite, are considered in the development of a novel method to generate statistically equivalent fibre ... -
