Geometrical issues in the continuum mechanics of solid crystals
Journal Article

We shall outline geometrical and algebraic ideas which appear to lie at the foundation of the theory of defective crystals that was introduced by Davini [5] in 1986. The focus of the paper will be on the connection between continuous and discrete mod... Read More about Geometrical issues in the continuum mechanics of solid crystals.

Effects of SKF-83566 and haloperidol on performance on progressive ratio schedules maintained by sucrose and corn oil reinforcement: quantitative analysis using a new model derived from the Mathematical Principles of Reinforcement (MPR)
Journal Article

Rationale Mathematical models can assist the interpretation of the effects of interventions on schedule-controlled behaviour and help to differentiate between processes that may be confounded in traditional performance measures such as response rate...

An indefensible frontier: the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum
Journal Article

It has been long maintained that the system of barrier walls and fortlets in the Julian Alps dates to the early 4th century and that it was a fortification line used to defend Italy during times of civil war. Reviewing the historical, archaeological... Read More about An indefensible frontier: the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum.

Re-anchorage of a ruptured tendon in bonded post-tensioned concrete beams: model validation
Journal Article

Many post-tensioned concrete bridges have been reported to have ruptured tendons due to corrosion [1] and the assessment of their residual structural capacity has to account for the possibility of re-anchorage of failed tendons. This paper presents a... Read More about Re-anchorage of a ruptured tendon in bonded post-tensioned concrete beams: model validation.

Use of transgenic GFP reporter strains of the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans to investigate the patterns of stress responses induced by pesticides and by organic extracts from agricultural soils
Journal Article

As a free-living nematode, C. elegans is exposed to various pesticides used in agriculture, as well as to persistent organic residues which may contaminate the soil for long periods. Following on from our previous study of metal effects on 24 GFP-re...

Predigtmeditation zum Vaterunser für den Sonntag Rogate 2013 / Sermon preparation on the Lord's Prayer (Matt 6:7-15)
Journal Article

Slightly extended version of a sermon preparation for the German journal "Zuversicht und Stärke: Zeitschrift für Gottesdienst und Verkündigung"

Kernels for products of L-functions
Journal Article

The Rankin-Cohen bracket of two Eisenstein series provides a kernel yielding products of the periods of Hecke eigenforms at critical values. Extending this idea leads to a new type of Eisenstein series built with a double sum. We develop the properti... Read More about Kernels for products of L-functions.

Analysis of the Sam50 translocase of excavate organisms supports evolution of divergent organelles from a common endosymbiotic event
Journal Article

As free-living organisms the ancestors of mitochondria and plastids encoded complete genomes, proteomes and metabolomes. As these symbionts became organelles all these aspects were reduced – genomes have degenerated with the host nucleus now encoding...

Class D amplifier power stage with PWM feedback loop
Journal Article

This paper presents a Second-Order Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) feedback loop to improve Power Supply Rejection (PSR) of any open-loop PWM Class-D amplifiers (CDAs). PSR of the audio amplifier has always been a key parameter in mobile phone applicat... Read More about Class D amplifier power stage with PWM feedback loop.

Neoliberalism, postcolonialism and hetero-sovereignties: emergent sexual formations in contemporary India

Phase-amplitude descriptions of neural oscillator models
Journal Article

Phase oscillators are a common starting point for the reduced description of many single neuron models that exhibit a strongly attracting limit cycle. The framework for analysing such models in response to weak perturbations is now particularly well... Read More about Phase-amplitude descriptions of neural oscillator models.

The colour of risk: an exploration of the IPCC's 'burning embers' diagram
Journal Article

This article tracks the historical emergence of a new visual convention in the representation of the risks associated with climate change. The “reasons for concern” or “burning embers” diagram has become a prominent visual element of the climate chan...

Reimagining the purpose of VET - expanding the capability to aspire in South African Further Education and Training students
Journal Article

This paper applies the capabilities approach to the broader debate of the role of vocational education and training (VET) in poverty alleviation. The capabilities approach provides an...

Using computational models to relate structural and functional brain connectivity
Journal Article

Modern imaging methods allow a non-invasive assessment of both structural and functional brain connectivity. This has lead to the identification of disease-related alterations affecting functional connectivity. The mechanism of how such alterations...

Modernising the EU’s public procurement regime: a blueprint for real simplicity and flexibility
Journal Article

On 20 December 2011 the European Commission published its proposals for two new procedural directives on public procurement, one to replace Public Sector Directive 2004/18 and one to replace Utilities Directive 2004/17, with the stated aims of “simpl...

‘It's all the way you look at it, you know’: reading Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson's film career
Journal Article

This paper engages with a major paradox in African American tap dancer Bill ‘Bojangles’ Robinson's film image – namely, its concurrent adherences to and contestations of dehumanising racial iconography – to reveal the complex and often ambivalent way...
