Social support in cyberspace: A content analysis of communication within a Huntington’s Disease online support group
Journal Article

Objective: Huntington’s Disease (HD) is an inherited disorder, characterised by a progressive degeneration of the brain. Due to the nature of the symptoms, the genetic element of the disease and the fact that there is no cure, HD patients and those...

Character, Audience Agency and Trans-Media Drama
Journal Article

Changes in the television industry with regards to the development of new media technologies are having a significant impact on audience engagement with television drama. This article explores how the internet is being used to extend audience engagem... Read More about Character, Audience Agency and Trans-Media Drama.

Violent Dissent and Rebellion in Africa
Journal Article

This article analyzes how the selection process for the executive affects the risk of rebellion and insurgencies in sub-Saharan Africa between 1971 and 1995. Four executive recruitment processes are distinguished, which are characteristic for the Afr... Read More about Violent Dissent and Rebellion in Africa.

A case of mistaken identity – reappraisal of the species of canid and felid hookworms (Ancylostoma) present in Australia and India
Journal Article

This study serves to clarify the current status of canid and felid Ancylostoma species present in Australia. The morphological identification of A. ceylanicum from cats for the first time in Townsville, Australia, appears to be in error, together wit...

Asymptotic analysis of combined breather-kink modes in a Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain
Journal Article

We find approximations to travelling breather solutions of the one-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice. Both bright breather and dark breather solutions are found. We find that the existence of localised (bright) solutions depends upon the... Read More about Asymptotic analysis of combined breather-kink modes in a Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chain.

Discrete breathers in a two-dimensional hexagonal Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice
Journal Article

We consider a two-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam (FPU) lattice with hexagonal symmetry. Using asymptotic methods based on small amplitude ansatz, at third order we obtain a eduction to a cubic nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation (NLS) for the breathe...

OriDB: a DNA replication origin database
Journal Article

Replication of eukaryotic chromosomes initiates at multiple sites called replication origins. Replication origins are best understood in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, where several complementary studies have mapped their locations genom...

Moderate monism, persistence and sortal concepts
Journal Article

Coincidence (e.g., of a statue and the piece of bronze which constitutes it) comes in two varieties – permanent and temporary. Moderate monism (about coincidence) is the position that permanent coincidence, but not temporary coincidence, entails ide... Read More about Moderate monism, persistence and sortal concepts.

Religious fundamentalism and utopianism in the 21st century
Journal Article

Why is it so difficult to respond to religious fundamentalism from within a liberal paradigm? This paper explores a core problem within religious fundamentalism, stemming from its relationship to the phenomenon of utopianism. This is a complex relati...

Case Concerning the Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (Bosnia and Herzegovina v Serbia and Montenegro)
Journal Article

Doctors' thinking about the system as a threat to patient safety
Journal Article

‘Systems thinking’ is an important feature of the emerging ‘patient safety’ agenda. As a key component of a ‘safety culture’, it encourages clinicians to look past individual error to recognise the latent factors that threaten safety. This paper inv...

Motif detection inspired by immune memory
Journal Article

The search for patterns or motifs in data represents an area of key interest to many researchers. In this paper we present the Motif Tracking Algorithm, a novel immune inspired pattern identification tool that is able to identify variable length unkn...

Toward blueprints for network architecture, biophysical dynamics, and signal transduction
Journal Article

We review mathematical aspects of biophysical dynamics, signal transduction and network architecture that have been used to uncover functionally significant relations between the dynamics of single neurons and the networks they compose. We focus on... Read More about Toward blueprints for network architecture, biophysical dynamics, and signal transduction.

Conflicts of interest in dermatology
Journal Article

Conflicts of interest exist in dermatology when professional judgement concerning a primary interest, such as research validity, may be influenced by a secondary interest, such as financial gain from a for-profit organization. Conflict of interest... Read More about Conflicts of interest in dermatology.

Existence and wandering of bumps in a spiking neural network model
Journal Article

We study spatially localized states of a spiking neuronal network populated by a pulse coupled phase oscillator known as the lighthouse model. We show that in the limit of slow synaptic interactions in the continuum limit the dynamics reduce to tho... Read More about Existence and wandering of bumps in a spiking neural network model.

Belief and bounded rationality
Journal Article

Imagine the possibilities: information without overload
Journal Article

Information is often modelled as a set of relevant possibilities, treated as logically possible worlds. However, this has the unintuitive consequence that the logical consequences of an agent's information cannot be informative for that agent. There...

Discrete breathers in a two-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice
Journal Article

Using asymptotic methods, we investigate whether discrete breathers are supported by a two-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice. A scalar (one-component) two-dimensional Fermi-Pasta-Ulam lattice is shown to model the charge stored within an electr...

Coarse-graining and renormalisation group methods for the elucidation of the kinetics of complex nucleation and growth processes
Journal Article

We review our work on generalisations of the Becker-Doring model of cluster-formation as applied to nucleation theory, polymer growth kinetics, and the formation of upramolecular structures in colloidal chemistry. One valuable tool in analysing math... Read More about Coarse-graining and renormalisation group methods for the elucidation of the kinetics of complex nucleation and growth processes.
