A computational framework for particle and whole cell tracking applied to a real biological dataset
(2016-05-24) - Journal articleCell tracking is becoming increasingly important in cell biology as it provides a valuable tool for analysing experimental data and hence furthering our understanding of dynamic cellular phenomena. The advent of high-throughput, ... -
Computational inference of neural information flow networks
(2006-11) - Journal articleDetermining how information flows along anatomical brain pathways is a fundamental requirement for understanding how animals perceive their environments, learn, and behave. Attempts to reveal such neural information flow ... -
Computational Insight into Rh-103 Chemical Shift-Structure Correlations in Rhodium Bis(phosphine) Complexes
(2013-11-11) - Journal article103RhNMR chemical shifts have been computed at the GIAO-B3LYP level of density functional theory (DFT) for a number of [Rh(COD)(P∩P)]+ complexes [COD = 1,5-cyclooctadiene, P∩P = chelating bis(phosphine) including ... -
Computational, experimental, and statistical analyses of social learning in humans and animals
(University of St Andrews, 2016-07-22) - ThesisSocial learning is ubiquitous among animals and humans and is thought to be critical to the widespread success of humans and to the development and evolution of human culture. Evolutionary theory, however, suggests that ... -
Computerized self-administered measures of mood and appetite for older adults : the Novel Assessment of Nutrition and Ageing toolkit
(2016-02-10) - Journal articleThe "Novel Assessment of Nutrition and Ageing" (NANA) toolkit is a computerized system for collecting longitudinal information about older adults' health and behavior. Here, we describe the validation of six items for ... -
Computing finite semigroups
(2015-10-07) - Journal articleUsing a variant of Schreier's Theorem, and the theory of Green's relations, we show how to reduce the computation of an arbitrary subsemigroup of a finite regular semigroup to that of certain associated subgroups. Examples ... -
Computing in matrix groups without memory
(2014-11-02) - Journal articleMemoryless computation is a novel means of computing any function of a set of registers by updating one register at a time while using no memory. We aim to emulate how computations are performed on modern cores, since they ... -
Computing in permutation groups without memory
(2014-11-02) - Journal articleMemoryless computation is a new technique to compute any function of a set of registers by updating one register at a time while using no memory. Its aim is to emulate how computations are performed in modern cores, since ... -
Computing partition functions of PCFGs
(2008-10) - Journal articleWe investigate the problem of computing the partition function of a probabilistic context-free grammar, and consider a number of applicable methods. Particular attention is devoted to PCFGs that result from the intersection ... -
Computing the aqueous solubility of organic drug-like molecules and understanding hydrophobicity
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06-24) - ThesisThis thesis covers a range of methodologies to provide an account of the current (2010-2014) state of the art and to develop new methods for solubility prediction. We focus on predictions of intrinsic aqueous solubility, ... -
The concept of enmity in the political philosophy of Hobbes
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06-23) - ThesisTo the author’s knowledge, this is the first systematic study of the concept of enmity in the political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes. Examining this important category does not only elucidate the concept itself, but also ... -
The concept of happiness in Kant's moral, legal and political philosophy
(University of St Andrews, 2012-11-30) - ThesisThis doctoral thesis analyzes the systematic role of Kant’s conception of happiness in his moral, legal and political theory. Although many of his conclusions and arguments are directly or indirectly influenced by his ... -
Concepts and meaning in medieval philosophy
(Fordham University Press, 2014-12) - Book itemIn his recent study, Concepts, Fodor identifies five nonnegotiable constraints on any theory of concepts. These theses were all shared by the standard medieval theories of concepts. However, those theories were cognitivist, ... -
Concepts in context

Concepts of folly in English Renaissance literature : with particular reference to Shakespeare and Jonson
(University of St Andrews, 1991) - ThesisChapter 1 considers Barclay's 'Ship of Fools' in relation to other folly literature in English, particularly Lydgate's 'Order of Fools', Skelton's 'Bowge of Courte', and 'Cocke Lorrel's Bote'. Motifs, allegories and the ... -
A conceptual framework for assessing the ecosystem service of waste remediation: in the marine environment
(2016-07-21) - Journal articleIn the marine environment, the ecosystem service of Waste Remediation (WR) enables humans to utilise the natural functioning of ecosystems to process and detoxify a large number of waste products and therefore avoid harmful ... -
Conceptual room for ontic vagueness
(University of St Andrews, 2007-06-20) - ThesisThis thesis is a systematic investigation of whether there might be conceptual room for the idea that the world itself might be vague, independently of how we describe it. This idea – the existence of so-called ontic ... -
Conceptualising ‘success’ with those convicted of terrorism offences : aims, methods, and barriers to reintegration
(2015) - Journal articleDespite an increasing need to understand the aims of work with ex-prisoners convicted of terrorism offences, the knowledge base remains underdeveloped. Notwithstanding this limited theoretical and empirical foundation, ... -
Conciliar politics and administration in the reign of Henry VII
(University of St Andrews, 2001) - ThesisSince Elton's commentary on the absence of critical study of the early Tudor council in 1964, some progress has been made towards a wider, fuller, more detailed understanding of Henry VII's council and where it fits-or ... -
