Sacral nerve neuromodulation as primary treatment for faecal incontinence with disrupted anal sphincters: medium and long-term results (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gardiner, A., Maslekar, S., & Duthie, G. (2006). Sacral nerve neuromodulation as primary treatment for faecal incontinence with disrupted anal sphincters: medium and long-term results. Gastroenterology, 130(4), A728 - A728

Introduction The standard treatment for faecal incontinence secondary to obstetric sphincterdamage is anal sphincter repair. However, the results of this procedure deteriorate withtime. Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS) has become an established therapy...

Randomised controlled trial of sedation for colonoscopy: Entonox versus intravenous sedation (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Maslekar, S. K., Hughes, M., Skinn, E., Gardiner, A., Culbert, B., & Duthie, G. S. Randomised controlled trial of sedation for colonoscopy: Entonox versus intravenous sedation

Introduction: Intravenous sedation for colonoscopy is associated with cardio-respiratory complications, delayed recovery and prolonged drowsiness. We aimed to determine whether inhaled Entonox

Implications for healthcare knowledge management systems: A case study (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dwivedi, A. N., Bali, R. K., & Naguib, R. N. Implications for healthcare knowledge management systems: A case study. Presented at 2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, Shanghai, China

The notion of Incorporating knowledge management (KM) in the healthcare sector has recently witnessed a lot of interest, both from healthcare practitioners and scholars. Because KM for healthcare has just started to appear on the radar of healthcare... Read More about Implications for healthcare knowledge management systems: A case study.

Towards a web-based knowledge management system for cardiovascular disease (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Nugent, C. D., Donnelly, M., Bali, R. K., Dwivedi, A. N., Naguib, R. N., & Black, N. D. Towards a web-based knowledge management system for cardiovascular disease. Presented at 2005 IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology 27th Annual Conference, Shanghai, China

The objective of this paper is to examine the efficacy of the Knowledge Management (KM) paradigm for a web-based patient administration system (PAS) for cardiovascular disease (CVD). We discuss the role of contemporary information and communication t... Read More about Towards a web-based knowledge management system for cardiovascular disease.

Fish assemblages in different shallow water habitats of the Venice Lagoon (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Franco, A., Franzoi, P., Malavasi, S., Riccato, F., & Torricelli, P. (2006). Fish assemblages in different shallow water habitats of the Venice Lagoon. Hydrobiologia, 555(1), 159-174. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10750-005-1113-5

The small-sized fish assemblages of the Venice Lagoon were investigated and compared among five shallow subtidal habitats (seagrass beds, sparsely vegetated habitats, unvegetated sand bottoms, mudflats and saltmarsh creeks) in the Northern lagoon bas...

Screening of metal oxide catalysts for carbon nanotubes and hydrogen production via catalytic decomposition of methane (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zein, S. H., Mohamed, A. R., & Chai, S. P. Screening of metal oxide catalysts for carbon nanotubes and hydrogen production via catalytic decomposition of methane

A number of catalysts prepared from transition metals such as copper (Cu), iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), cobalt (Co) and manganese (Mn) on TiO 2 support were tested for the decomposition of methane into hydrogen and carbon. These catalysts were used in the... Read More about Screening of metal oxide catalysts for carbon nanotubes and hydrogen production via catalytic decomposition of methane.

Learning to be responsible? A systems view of the organization-environment relationship (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Gregory, A. (2005, November). Learning to be responsible? A systems view of the organization-environment relationship. Presented at IFSR 2005

In this paper the issue of whether organizations can learn to become responsible will be addressed. Zadek [1] suggests that organizations ‘pass through 5 stages of corporate responsibility: 1. defensive, 2. compliance, 3. managerial, 4. strategic, an... Read More about Learning to be responsible? A systems view of the organization-environment relationship.

Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Li, Q. (2005, June). Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces. Presented at Applied Simulation and Modelling (ASM 2005), Benalmádena, Spain

In conventional spline geometric shape design, each part of a designed object always evolves the same number of con trol points. This has been a disadvantage of the spline based geometric shape design schemes as much more points than necessary may be... Read More about Polygon smoothing nurbs curves and surfaces.

A recurrent neural network for sound-source motion tracking and prediction (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Murray, J. C., Erwin, H., & Wermter, S. (2004, July). A recurrent neural network for sound-source motion tracking and prediction. Presented at Proceedings of the International Joint Conference on Neural Networks, Montreal, Que., Canada

Recurrent neural networks (RNN) have been used in many applications for both pattern detection and prediction. This paper shows the use of RNN's as a speed classifier and predictor for a robotic sound source tracking system. The system requires exten...
