On the suboptimality of the p-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method
Journal Article
Georgoulis, E. H., Hall, E., & Melenk, J. M. (2009). On the suboptimality of the p-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method. Journal of Scientific Computing,

We address the question of the rates of convergence of the p-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method (p-IPDG) for second order elliptic problems with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is known that the p-IPDG method adm... Read More about On the suboptimality of the p-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method.

Measurements of diatom oxygen isotopes (δ18Odiatom) hold the potential to provide an important additional source of palaeoceanographic information in regions depleted in carbonates. However, despite analyses of δ18Odiatom being carried out since the... Read More about A review of diatom δ18O in palaeoceanography.

Unfinished Turns in French: How Context Matters
Journal Article
Chevalier, F. H. (2008). Unfinished Turns in French: How Context Matters. Research on Language and Social Interaction, 41(1), Article tbc-tbc

On occasions, speakers do not complete their turns in conversation. Such syntactically-incomplete turns are not treated with repair or misunderstanding. The responses that they receive display a clear understanding of the actions that the unfinished... Read More about Unfinished Turns in French: How Context Matters.

The DCA:SOMe comparison: a comparative study between two biologically-inspired algorithms
Journal Article
Greensmith, J., Feyereisl, J., & Aickelin, U. The DCA:SOMe comparison: a comparative study between two biologically-inspired algorithms. Evolutionary Intelligence, 1(2), https://doi.org/10.1007/s12065-008-0008-6

The dendritic cell algorithm (DCA) is an immune-inspired algorithm, developed for the purpose of anomaly detection. The algorithm performs multi-sensor data fusion and correlation which results in a ‘context aware’ detection system. Previous applicat...

A Mixed Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics
Journal Article
Houston, P., Schoetzau, D., & Wei, X. A Mixed Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics. Manuscript submitted for publication

We introduce and analyze a discontinuous Galerkin method for the numerical discretization of a stationary incompressible magnetohydrodynamics model problem. The fluid unknowns are discretized with inf-sup stable discontinuous P^3_{k}-P_{k-1} elements... Read More about A Mixed Discontinuous Galerkin Method for Incompressible Magnetohydrodynamics.

Spontaneous evaluations: similarities and differences between the affect heuristic and implicit attitudes

The affect heuristic and implicit attitudes are two separate concepts that have arisen within different literatures but that have a number of similarities. This paper compares these two constructs with the aim of clarifying exactly what they are and...

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.

Religious fundamentalism and utopianism in the 21st century
Journal Article
Sargisson, L. (2007). Religious fundamentalism and utopianism in the 21st century. Manuscript submitted for publication

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...
