The 2 + 2 anisotropic Wilson gluon action with applications
(2004)A generalization of anisotropic lattices to include a 2+2 discretization is discussed. As a part of this program, we determine the one-loop correction to the gluon self-energy and analyse the restoration of Lorentz ... -
Adaptive medial-axis approximation for sphere-tree construction
(2004)Hierarchical object representations play an important role in performing efficient collision handling. Many different geometric primitives have been used to construct these representations, which allow areas of interaction ... -
Addressing Human Factors and Ethics in the Design of Future Work and Intelligent Systems for Use in Financial Services - Person Centered Operations, Intelligent Work & the Triple Bottom Line.
(Springer, 2021)New technologies are being introduced to support the future of work in Financial Services. Such technologies should enable work that is smart, healthy, and ethical. This paper presents an innovative and blended methodology ... -
Adenylate cycalse toxin of Bordetella pertussis inhibits TLR-induced IRF-1 and IRF-8 activation and IL-12 production and enhances IL-10 through MAPK activation in dendritic cells
(Society of Leukocyte Biology, 2008)Adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) of Bordetella pertussis binds to CD11b/CD18 on macrophages and dendritic cells (DC) and confers virulence to the bacteria by subverting innate immune responses of the host. We have previously ... -
Adenylate cyclase toxin from Bordetella pertussis synergises with lipopolysaccharide to promote innate IL-10 production and enhance the induction of Th2 and regulatory T cells
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004)Adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) from Bordetella pertussis can subvert host immune responses allowing bacterial colonization. Here we have examined its adjuvant and immunomodulatory properties and the possible contribution ... -
All-optical sampling based on two-photon absorption in a semiconductor microcavity for high-speed OTDM
(SPIE, 2005)Future high-speed optical communications networks operating at data rates in excess of 100Gbit/s per channel will require a sensitive and ultrafast technique for precise optical signal monitoring.1 The standard way ... -
ALOHA: Adaptive Level of Detail for Human Animation: Towards and new Framework.
(2000)The task of animating and rendering virtual humans in real-time is challenging. One must first establish a sense of realism through appearance, and then maintain this realism through correct and plausible motion, while ... -
An alternative fluorine precursor for the synthesis of SnO2:F by spray pyrolysis
(2012)An alternative, non-toxic precursor was employed for the synthesis of SnO2:F transparent conducting oxide. The performance of benzenesulfonyl fluoride (BSF) as F source for spray pyrolysis was investigated. Its decomposition ... -
Analysis of visibility masks and resultant image quality
(2000)Virtual Interfaces and Visibility Masks are an extremely efficient method for parallelising the Radiosity Method. They exploit data locality, and keep communication between nodes as low as possible. Previous papers on ... -
Analytic smearing of SU(3) link variables in lattice QCD
(American Physical Society, 2004)An analytic method of smearing link variables in lattice QCD is proposed and tested. The differentiability of the smearing scheme with respect to the link variables permits the use of modern Monte Carlo updating methods ... -
Angular Distribution of electron temperature and density in a laser-ablation plume
(American Physical Society, 2000)The angular distribution of electron temperature and density in a laser-ablation plume has been studied for the first time. The electron temperature ranges from 0.1 to 0.5 eV and is only weakly dependent on the angle in ... -
Animating humans on handlheld devices for interactive gaming
(2005)This paper examines the implementation and efficacy of impostor-based techniques on smallscreen devices, and compares their effectiveness with that of the same techniques when used on desktop computers. Firstly, a ... -
Anomalous dielectric relaxation in an N-fold cosine potential
(American Physical Society, 2003)The fractional Klein-Kramers (Fokker-Planck) equation describing the fractal time dynamics of an assembly of fixed axis dipoles rotating in an N-fold cosine potential representing the internal field due to neighboring ... -
Antimitotic herbicides bind to an unidentifed site on malarial parasite tubulin and block development of liver-stage Plasmodium parasites.
(2013)Malarial parasites are exquisitely susceptible to a number of microtubule inhibitors but most of these compounds also affect human microtubules. Herbicides of the dinitroaniline and phosphorothioamidate classes however ... -
An Argument for the Use of Multiple Segment Stents in Curved Arteries
(2011)Stenting of curved arteries is generally perceived to be more challenging than straight vessels. Conceptually implanting multiple shorter stents rather than a single longer stent into such a curved artery represents a ... -
Automated processing of shoeprint images based on the Fourier transform for use in forensic science
(IEEE, 2005)The development of a system for automatically sorting a database of shoeprint images based on the outsole pattern in response to a reference shoeprint image is presented. The database images are sorted so that those from ... -
Automatic classification of heartbeats using ECG morphology and heartbeat interval features
(IEEE, 2004)A method for the automatic processing of the electrocardiogram (ECG) for the classification of heartbeats is presented. The method allocates manually detected heartbeats to one of the five beat classes recommended by ... -
Automatic Segmentation and Inpainting of Specular Highlights for Endoscopic Imaging
(2010)Minimally invasive medical procedures have become increasingly common in today's healthcare practice. Images taken during such procedures largely show tissues of human organs, such as the mucosa of the gastrointestinal ... -
Band structures of rare gas solids within the GW approximation
(2005)Band structures for solid rare gases s Ne, Ar d have been calculated using the GW approximation. All electron and pseudopotential ab initio calculations were performed using Gaussian orbital basis sets and the ...
