Resilience of Luminance based Liveness Tests under Attacks with Processed Imposter Images (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Omar, L., & Ivrissimtzis, I. (2023, May). Resilience of Luminance based Liveness Tests under Attacks with Processed Imposter Images. Presented at 24th International Conference in Central Europe on Computer Graphics, Visualization and Computer Vision 2016 (WSCG 2016)., Plzen, Czech Republic

Liveness tests are techniques employed by face recognition authentication systems, aiming at verifying that a live face rather than a photo is standing in front of the system camera. In this paper, we study the resilience of a standard liveness test... Read More about Resilience of Luminance based Liveness Tests under Attacks with Processed Imposter Images.

Histone demethylation and toll‐like receptor 8–dependent cross‐talk in monocytes promotes transdifferentiation of fibroblasts in systemic sclerosis via Fra‐2 (2016)
Journal Article
Ciechomska, M., O'Reilly, S., Przyborski, S., Oakley, F., Bogunia-Kubik, K., & van Laar, J. (2016). Histone demethylation and toll‐like receptor 8–dependent cross‐talk in monocytes promotes transdifferentiation of fibroblasts in systemic sclerosis via Fra‐2. Arthritis and Rheumatology, 68(6), 1493-1504. https://doi.org/10.1002/art.39602

Objectives: To investigate whether epigenetic changes can modulate monocytes to produce tissue-inhibitor of metalloproteinase-1 (TIMP-1) via Fra2 (AP-1 family member), a novel downstream mediator promoting fibrogenesis. Methods: AP-1 transcription fa...

‘Time out’: a strategy for reducing men’s violence against women in relationships? (2016)
Journal Article
Wistow, R., Kelly, L., & Westmarland, N. (2017). ‘Time out’: a strategy for reducing men’s violence against women in relationships?. Violence Against Women, 23(6), 730-748. https://doi.org/10.1177/1077801216647944

This article critically explores accounts of how men attending domestic violence perpetrator programs (DVPP) used the “time out” strategy. Findings are drawn from 71 semi-structured interviews with 44 men attending DVPPs and 27 female partners or ex-...

Some aspects of friction measurements in hip joint simulators (2016)
Journal Article
Unsworth, A. (2016). Some aspects of friction measurements in hip joint simulators. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part H: Journal of Engineering in Medicine, 230(5), 359-365. https://doi.org/10.1177/0954411916637382

The measurement of friction in artificial hip joints can lead to the knowledge of the lubrication mechanisms occurring in the joints. However, the measurement of friction, particularly in spherical contacts, is not always straightforward. The importa... Read More about Some aspects of friction measurements in hip joint simulators.

IL-13 mediates collagen deposition via STAT6 and microRNA-135b: a role for epigenetics (2016)
Journal Article
O’Reilly, S., Ciechomska, M., Fullard, N., Przyborski, S., & van Laar, J. (2016). IL-13 mediates collagen deposition via STAT6 and microRNA-135b: a role for epigenetics. Scientific Reports, 6, Article 25066. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep25066

Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune connective tissue disease in which T cells play a prominent role. We and others have previously demonstrated a role for T cell-derived IL-13 in mediating the induction of collagen in dermal fibroblasts and that blo...

Direct growth of Si nanowires on flexible organic substrates (2016)
Journal Article
Tian (田琳), L., Di Mario, L., Minotti, A., Tiburzi, G., Mendis, B. G., Zeze, D. A., & Martelli, F. (2016). Direct growth of Si nanowires on flexible organic substrates. Nanotechnology, 27(22), Article 225601. https://doi.org/10.1088/0957-4484/27/22/225601

A key characteristic of semiconductor nanowires (NWs) is that they grow on any substrate that can withstand the growth conditions, paving the way for their use in flexible electronics. We report on the direct growth of crystalline silicon nanowires o... Read More about Direct growth of Si nanowires on flexible organic substrates.

Leidenfrost transition temperature for stainless steel meshes (2016)
Journal Article
Geraldi, N., McHale, G., Xu, B., Wells, G., Dodd, L., Wood, D., & Newton, M. (2016). Leidenfrost transition temperature for stainless steel meshes. Materials Letters, 176, 205-208. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matlet.2016.04.124

On surfaces well above 100 °C water does not simply boil away. When there is a sufficient heat transfer between the solid and the liquid a continuous vapour layer instantaneous forms under a droplet of water and the drop sits on a cushion of vapour,...

Who likes me more? Analysing entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia (2016)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Zhou, Y., Demidova, E., & Cristea, A. (2016, April). Who likes me more? Analysing entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia. Presented at SAC 2016, 31st ACM Symposium on Applied Computing, Pisa

In this paper we take an important step towards better understanding the existence and extent of entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia, and any deviation from its targeted neutral point of view. We propose a methodology usin... Read More about Who likes me more? Analysing entity-centric language-specific bias in multilingual Wikipedia.
