An inductive logic programming approach to learning which uORFs regulate gene expression. (2008)
Thesis
SELPI 2008. An inductive logic programming approach to learning which uORFs regulate gene expression. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Some upstream open reading frames (uORFs) regulate gene expression (i.e. they are functional) and can play key roles in keeping organisms healthy. However, how uORFs are involved in gene regulation is not het fully understood. In order to get a compl...

DEUM: a framework for an estimation of distribution algorithm based on Markov random fields. (2006)
Thesis
SHAKYA, S.K. 2006. DEUM: a framework for an estimation of distribution algorithm based on Markov random fields. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) belong to the class of population based optimisation algorithms. They are motivated by the idea of discovering and exploiting the interaction between variables in the solution. They estimate a probability...

A lightweight, graph-theoretic model of class-based similarity to support object-oriented code reuse. (2003)
Thesis
MACLEAN, A. 2003. A lightweight, graph-theoretic model of class-based similarity to support object-oriented code reuse. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis. Hosted on OpenAIR [online]. Available from: https://doi.org/10.48526/rgu-wt-1871759

The work presented in this thesis is principally concerned with the development of a method and set of tools designed to support the identification of class-based similarity in collections of object-oriented code. Attention is focused on enhancing th... Read More about A lightweight, graph-theoretic model of class-based similarity to support object-oriented code reuse..

An application of genetic algorithms to chemotherapy treatment. (1998)
Thesis
PETROVSKI, A. 1998. An application of genetic algorithms to chemotherapy treatment. Robert Gordon University, PhD thesis.

The present work investigates methods for optimising cancer chemotherapy within the bounds of clinical acceptability and making this optimisation easily accessible to oncologists. Clinical oncologists wish to be able to improve existing treatment reg... Read More about An application of genetic algorithms to chemotherapy treatment..
