4273π : bioinformatics education on low cost ARM hardware
(2013-08-12) - Journal articleBackground: Teaching bioinformatics at universities is complicated by typical computer classroom settings. As well as running software locally and online, students should gain experience of systems administration. For a ... -
Academic Cloud computing research : five pitfalls and five opportunities
(USENIX, 2014-06-17) - Conference itemThis discussion paper argues that there are five fundamental pitfalls, which can restrict academics from conducting cloud computing research at the infrastructure level, which is currently where the vast majority of academic ... -
Acceleration-as-a-Service : exploiting virtualised GPUs for a financial application
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015-09-01) - Conference itemHow can GPU acceleration be obtained as a service in a cluster? This question has become increasingly significant due to the inefficiency of installing GPUs on all nodes of a cluster. The research reported in this paper ... -
Achieving stable subspace clustering by post-processing generic clustering results
(IEEE, 2016-10-31) - Conference itemWe propose an effective subspace selection scheme as a post-processing step to improve results obtained by sparse subspace clustering (SSC). Our method starts by the computation of stable subspaces using a novel random ... -
Ad hoc Cloud computing
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015) - Conference itemThis paper presents the first complete, integrated and end-to-end solution for ad hoc cloud computing en- vironments. Ad hoc clouds harvest resources from existing sporadically available, non-exclusive (i.e. primarily used ... -
Adapting a computational multi agent model for humpback whale song research for use as a tool for algorithmic composition
(Hochschule für Musik und Theater Hamburg, 2016-08-31) - Conference itemHumpback whales (Megaptera Novaengliae) present one of the most complex displays of cultural transmission amongst non-humans. During breeding seasons, male humpback whales create long, hierarchical songs, which are shared ... -
Adult dental anxiety : recent assessment approaches and psychological management in a dental practice setting
(2016-05) - Journal articleDental Anxiety of patients is a common feature of the everyday experience of dental practice. This article advocates the use of regular assessment of this psychological construct to assist in patient management. Various ... -

Algorithms for optimising heterogeneous Cloud virtual machine clusters
(IEEE, 2016-12-12) - Conference itemIt is challenging to execute an application in a heterogeneous cloud cluster, which consists of multiple types of virtual machines with different performance capabilities and prices. This paper aims to mitigate this challenge ... -
All across the circle : using auto-ordering to improve object transfer between mobile devices
(Canadian Human-Computer Communications Society, 2016-06-01) - Conference itemPeople frequently form small groups in many social and professional situations: from conference attendees meeting at a coffee break, to siblings gathering at a family barbecue. These ad-hoc gatherings typically form into ... -
Analysing the history of autism spectrum disorder using topic models
(IEEE, 2016-10-17) - Conference itemWe describe a novel framework for the discovery of underlying topics of a longitudinal collection of scholarly data,and the tracking of their lifetime and popularity over time. Unlike the social media or news data, as the ... -
Ancient Roman coin retrieval : a systematic examination of the effects of coin grade
(Springer, 2017-04-13) - Conference itemAncient coins are historical artefacts of great significance which attract the interest of scholars, and a large and growing number of amateur collectors. Computer vision based analysis and retrieval of ancient coins holds ... -
Anti-Müllerian hormone serum concentrations of women with germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations
(2016-05) - Journal articleStudy question: Do women with BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations have reduced ovarian reserve, as measured by circulating anti-müllerian hormone (AMH) concentration? Summary answer: Women with a germline mutation in BRCA1 have ... -
An application of formal concept analysis to neural decoding
(CEUR-WS, 2008) - Conference itemThis paper proposes a novel application of Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) to neural decoding: the semantic relationships between the neural representations of large sets of stimuli are explored using concept lattices. In ... -
Applications of real number theorem proving in PVS
(2013-11) - Journal articleReal number theorem proving has many uses, particularly for verification of safety critical systems and systems for which design errors may be costly. We discuss a chain of developments building on real number theorem ... -
An approach to ad hoc cloud computing
(University of St Andrews, 2010-02-25) - ReportWe consider how underused computing resources within an enterprise may be harnessed to improve utilization and create an elastic computing infrastructure. Most current cloud provision involves a data center model, in which ... -
