Tackling NHS staff stress levels in an ‘eggstraordinary’ way (2009)
Journal Article
Occupational stress levels amongst employees are a key area of concern for the National Health Service with Government calls for healthcare employers to provide a positive ‘health culture’ and facilities which encourage staff to consider their own he...

Energy norm a-posteriori error estimation for hp-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for elliptic problems in three dimensions (2009)
Journal Article
We develop the energy norm a-posteriori error estimation for hp-version discontinuous Galerkin (DG) discretizations of elliptic boundary-value problems on 1-irregularly, isotropically refined affine hexahedral meshes in three dimensions. We derive a... Read More about Energy norm a-posteriori error estimation for hp-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods for elliptic problems in three dimensions.
"Defending humanity: when force is justified and why", by George P Fletcher and Jens Ohlin (2009)
Journal Article
A critical review of the work of Fletcher and Ohlin in which they argue for a reconceptualization of self-defence in international law.
The use of probabilistic systems to mimic the behaviour of idiotypic AIS robot controllers (2009)
Journal Article
Previous work has shown that robot navigation systems that employ an architecture based upon the idiotypic network theory of the immune system have an advantage over control techniques that rely on reinforcement learning only. This is thought to b... Read More about The use of probabilistic systems to mimic the behaviour of idiotypic AIS robot controllers.
Visualisation of the local electrochemical activity of thermally-sprayed anti-corrosion coatings using scanning electrochemical microscopy (2009)
Journal Article
Scanning electrochemical microscopy was used to probe the local electrochemical activity of anti-corrosion coatings formed from Inconel 625, a Ni-Cr-Mo alloy commonly used in engineering applications. The coatings were formed using a high velocity ox...

Towards a predictive model of Ca²⁺ puffs (2009)
Journal Article
We investigate key characteristics of Ca²⁺ puffs in deterministic and stochastic frameworks that all incorporate the cellular morphology of IP[subscript]3 receptor channel clusters. In a first step, we numerically study Ca²⁺ liberation in a three dim... Read More about Towards a predictive model of Ca²⁺ puffs.
Sensitisation waves in a bidomain fire-diffuse-fire model of intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics (2009)
Journal Article
We present a bidomain threshold model of intracellular calcium (Ca²⁺) dynamics in which, as suggested by recent experiments, the cytosolic threshold for Ca²⁺ liberation is modulated by the Ca²⁺ concentration in the releasing compartment. We explicitl... Read More about Sensitisation waves in a bidomain fire-diffuse-fire model of intracellular Ca²⁺ dynamics.
A systematic review of delays in seeking medical attention after transient ischaemic attack (2009)
Journal Article
Background: Prompt assessment and investigation of transient ischaemic attack (TIA) followed by early initiation of secondary prevention is effective in reducing recurrent stroke. Nevertheless, many patients are slow to seek medical advice after... Read More about A systematic review of delays in seeking medical attention after transient ischaemic attack.
Climate change – psychology’s contribution (2009)
Journal Article
Climate change is a word on everybody’s lips at the moment. But, what role can we, as psychologists, both individually and within our sub-disciplinary groups play in reducing and adapting to the impacts of society’s ‘carbon footprint’? This article...

Psychology, climate change & sustainable behaviour (2009)
Journal Article
Cancer profiles by Affinity Propagation (2009)
Journal Article
The Affinity Propagation algorithm is applied to various problems of breast and cutaneous tumours subtyping using traditional biologic markers. The algorithm provides a procedure to determine the number of profiles to be considered. Well know breast... Read More about Cancer profiles by Affinity Propagation.
Modelling and simulating retail management practices: a first approach (2009)
Journal Article
Multi-agent systems offer a new and exciting way of understanding the world of work. We apply agent-based modeling and simulation to investigate a set of problems in a retail context. Specifically, we are working to understand the relationship betwe... Read More about Modelling and simulating retail management practices: a first approach.
The role of hand dominance and sensorimotor congruence in voluntary movement (2009)
Journal Article
The present study evaluated the neural changes due to effector use (unimanual left, unimanual right, bimanual) and visuomotor conflict induced by mirror-reversed vision during drawing behaviour. EEG phase synchronization, expressing interregional com... Read More about The role of hand dominance and sensorimotor congruence in voluntary movement.
Effects of task complexity and sensory conflict on goal-directed movement (2009)
Journal Article
Interactions between brain regions are necessary for compound activities to take place. Accordingly, evaluating hemispheric information processing during skilled behaviour provides valuable knowledge about brain regulation. To this end, the present s...

Bimanual information processing and the impact of conflict during mirror drawing (2009)
Journal Article
Successful motor behavior depends on optimal information processing and planning. In the present study, the neural response of the motor system to conflict of visuomotor discrepancy (mirror-reversed vision) and complexity (task difficulty and hand la...

A reliability analysis method using binary decision diagrams in phased mission planning (2009)
Journal Article
The use of autonomous systems is becoming increasingly common in many fields. A significant example of this is the ambition to deploy UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for both civil and military applications. In order for autonomous systems such as th...

Commitment in symmetric contests (2009)
Journal Article
The paper proves that in two-player logit form symmetric contests with concave success function, commitment to a particular strategy does not increase a player's payoff, while in contests with more than two players it does. The paper also provides a... Read More about Commitment in symmetric contests.
Rotational symmetries of crystals with defects (2009)
Journal Article
I use the theory of Lie groups/algebras to discuss the symmetries of crystals with uniform distributions of defects.
Methodological insights into the study of centuriated field systems: a landscape archaeology perspective (2009)
Journal Article
The morphological identification of centuriated field systems has been characterised from its beginnings by methodological approaches mainly sustained on actus-based modular relationships and orientations. Many researchers dedicated to the identifica... Read More about Methodological insights into the study of centuriated field systems: a landscape archaeology perspective.
