Presentation / Conference Contribution
Tosangwarn, S., Clissett, P., & Blake, H. (2016, October). Predictors of depressive symptoms in older adults living in care homes in Thailand. Presented at 13th International Conference on Psychiatric-Mental Health Nursing, London, UK

Background: Most Thai people reject the idea of letting their ageing parents live in a care home due to the belief that a care home is a place for poor older adults who have no family. These beliefs could influence the perception of living in a care... Read More about Predictors of depressive symptoms in older adults living in care homes in Thailand.

The arpeggigon: declarative programming of a full-fledged musical application
Book
Nilsson, H., & Chupin, G. The arpeggigon: declarative programming of a full-fledged musical application. University of Nottingham

There are many systems and languages for music that essentially are declarative, often following the synchronous dataflow paradigm. As these tools, however, are mainly aimed at artists, their application focus tends to be narrow and their usefulness...

Partiality, Revisited: The Partiality Monad as a Quotient Inductive-Inductive Type
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Altenkirch, T., Danielson, N. A., & Kraus, N. (2017, April). Partiality, Revisited: The Partiality Monad as a Quotient Inductive-Inductive Type. Presented at 20th International Conference, FOSSACS 2017, Held as Part of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software, Uppsala, Sweden

Capretta’s delay monad can be used to model partial computations, but it has the “wrong” notion of built-in equality, strong bisimilarity. An alternative is to quotient the delay monad by the “right” notion of equality, weak bisimilarity. However, re...
