Sales intelligence using web mining.
(Book chapter)This paper presents a knowledge extraction system for providing sales intelligence based on information downloaded from the WWW. The information is first located and downloaded from relevant companies’ websites and then ... -
Satisfied user ratio prediction with support vector regression for compressed stereo images
(Conference)We propose the first method to predict the Satisfied User Ratio (SUR) for compressed stereo images. The method consists of two main steps. First, considering binocular vision properties, we extract three types of features ... -
Scene management for modelled audio objects in interactive worlds.
(Conference)The acoustic behaviour of natural objects and their interactions can be accurately recreated in interactive world simulations. A realistic simulation may contain many such objects, any combination of which may be interacting ... -

SDRC 9.6: An assessment of the public acceptance of Demand Side Response of EV charging using Esprit
(Technical Report)This report describes the research conducted by De Montfort University as part of the My Electric Avenue project to investigate public acceptance of the Esprit system for control of electric vehicle (EV) charging. Esprit ... -
Second-order Learning in Developmental Evaluation: New Methods for Complex Conditions
(Book)This book aims to account for how project learning and adaptation occurs through Developmental Evaluation (DE), especially under conditions of uncertainty, complexity and change. Drawing on enactive cognitive science, the ... -
Security and Privacy for Green IoT-based Agriculture: Review, Blockchain solutions, and Challenges
(Article)This paper presents research challenges on security and privacy issues in the field of green IoT-based agriculture. We start by describing a four-tier green IoT-based agriculture architecture and summarizing the existing ... -
The Security Aspects of Automotive Over-the-Air Updates
(Article)Over-the-air (OTA) update is a method for vehicle manufacturers to remotely distribute maintenance updates, performance, and feature enhancements through the vehicle's lifespan. Recalls of vehicles cost the manufactures a ... -

Selection of Dominant Characteristic Modes
(Article)The theory of characteristic modes is a popular physics based deterministic approach which has found several recent applications in the fields of radiator design, electromagnetic interference modelling and radiated ... -
A self-learning particle swarm optimizer for global optimization problems
(Article)Particle swarm optimization (PSO) has been shown as an effective tool for solving global optimization problems. So far, most PSO algorithms use a single learning pattern for all particles, which means that all particles ... -
Semantic mapping of discourse and activity, using Habermas’s theory of communicative action to analyze process
(Article)Our primary objective is evaluation of quality of process. This is addressed through semantic mapping of process. We note how this is complementary to the primacy of output results or products. We use goal-oriented ... -
Shape-dependent antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles on Escherichia.coli and Enterococcus.faecium bacterium
(Article)Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been shown to exhibit strong antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive bacteria and Gram-negative bacteria including antibiotic resistant strains. The antibacterial activity of ...
