Prolonging the response movement inhibits the feed-forward motor program in the sustained attention to response task (2018)
Journal Article
Despite widespread use in clinical and experimental contexts, debate continues over whether or not the Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) successfully measures sustained attention. Altering physical aspects of the response movement required... Read More about Prolonging the response movement inhibits the feed-forward motor program in the sustained attention to response task.

Analysis of variance in soil research: let the analysis fit the design (2018)
Journal Article
Sound design for experiments on soil is based on two fundamental principles: replication and randomization. Replication enables investigators to detect and measure contrasts between treatments against the backdrop of natural variation. Random allocat...

Programming agent deliberation using procedural reflection (2018)
Journal Article
A key advantage of BDI-based approaches to agent programming, is that agents can deliberate about which course of action to adopt to achieve a goal or respond to an event. However, while state-of-the-art BDI-based agent programming languages allow th... Read More about Programming agent deliberation using procedural reflection.
Nutrient limitation or home field advantage: does microbial community adaptation overcome nutrient limitation of litter decomposition in a tropical peatland? (2018)
Journal Article
Litter decomposition is an important control on carbon accumulation in tropical peatlands. Stoichiometric theory suggests that decomposition is regulated by elemental ratios in litter while the home field advantage (HFA) hypothesis predicts that deco...
