The politics of emergency and the demise of the developing state: problems for humanitarian advocacy (2006)
Journal Article
Pupavac, V. (2006). The politics of emergency and the demise of the developing state: problems for humanitarian advocacy. Development in Practice, 16(3),

This article discusses the dilemmas of humanitarian advocacy in the contemporary world. First the article considers the crisis of humanitarianism within the wider crisis of meaning in international politics which encouraged humanitarian advocacy. Hum...

Qualitative analysis of complex modularized fault trees using binary decision diagrams (2006)
Journal Article
Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (2006). Qualitative analysis of complex modularized fault trees using binary decision diagrams. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 220(1), https://doi.org/10.1243/1748006XJRR10

Fault tree analysis is commonly used in the reliability assessment of industrial systems. When complex systems are studied conventional methods can become computationally intensive and require the use of approximations. This leads to inaccuracies in...

Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe (2006)
Journal Article
Rendall, M. (2006). Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe. Review of International Studies, 32(3), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0260210506007145

Why do great powers expand? Offensive realist John Mearsheimer claims that states wage an eternal struggle for power, and that those strong enough to seek regional hegemony nearly always do. Mearsheimer's evidence, however, displays a selection bias.... Read More about Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe.

Two kinds of naturalism in ethics (2006)
Journal Article
Sinclair, N. (2006). Two kinds of naturalism in ethics. Ethical Theory and Moral Practice, 9(4), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10677-006-9017-7

What are the conditions on a successful naturalistic account of moral properties? In this paper I discuss one such condition: the possibility of moral concepts playing a role in good empirical theories on a par with those of the natural and social sc...

Examining consumer behaviour toward genetically modified (GM) food in Britain (2006)
Journal Article
Spence, A., & Townsend, E. (2006). Examining consumer behaviour toward genetically modified (GM) food in Britain. Risk Analysis, 26(3), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1539-6924.2006.00777.x

This study examined behaviour towards genetically modified (GM) food in a British community-based sample. We used an equivalent gain task in which participants actually received the options they chose to encourage truthful responding. In conjunction...

Implicit attitudes towards Genetically Modified (GM) foods: a comparison of context-free and context-dependent evaluations (2006)
Journal Article

Past research on attitudes towards GM food has focused on measuring explicit attitudes. Here we compared implicit attitudes towards GM foods with explicit attitudes towards GM foods. We used the Go No-Go task to investigate context-free implicit eval...

European Cosmopolitan Solidarity (2006)
Journal Article
Stevenson, N. (2006). European Cosmopolitan Solidarity. European Journal of Social Theory, 9(4),

The idea of a cosmopolitan Europe continues to be central to contemporary debates within post-national citizenship. However, much of the writing in this area remains disconnected from the need to reinvent European social
democracy that questions the... Read More about European Cosmopolitan Solidarity.

Potential limitations of biogenic silica as an indicator of abrupt climate change in Lake Baikal, Russia (2006)
Journal Article
Swann, G. E., & Mackay, A. W. (2006). Potential limitations of biogenic silica as an indicator of abrupt climate change in Lake Baikal, Russia. Journal of Paleolimnology, 36(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-006-0005-7

Biogenic Silica (BSi) has been one of the most important proxies for determining the palaeoclimate from Lake Baikal over glacial-interglacial cycles. Concentrations (calculated through a 1% Na2CO3 wet-alkaline digestion) at a site in the north basin,...

Diatom D18O evidence for the development of the modern halocline system in the subarctic northwest Pacific at the onset of major Northern Hemisphere glaciation (2006)
Journal Article
Swann, G. E., Maslin, M. A., Leng, M. J., Sloane, H. J., & Haug, G. H. (2006). Diatom D18O evidence for the development of the modern halocline system in the subarctic northwest Pacific at the onset of major Northern Hemisphere glaciation. Paleoceanography, 21(PA1009), https://doi.org/10.1029/2005PA001147

Establishing a time frame for the development of the modern halocline and stratified water column in the subarctic North Pacific has significant paleoclimatic implications. Here we present a d18O(diatom) record consisting of only two species that rep...

Data Reduction in Intrusion Alert Correlation (2006)
Journal Article
Tedesco, G., & Aickelin, U. (2006). Data Reduction in Intrusion Alert Correlation. WSEAS Transactions on Computers,

Network intrusion detection sensors are usually built around low level models of network traffic. This means that their output is of a similarly low level and as a consequence, is difficult to analyze. Intrusion alert correlation is the task of autom...

Reduced models of chemical reaction in chaotic flows (2006)
Journal Article
Vikhansky, A., & Cox, S. M. (2006). Reduced models of chemical reaction in chaotic flows. Physics of Fluids, 18(3), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2182373

We describe and evaluate two reduced models for nonlinear chemical reactions in a chaotic laminar flow. Each model involves two separate steps to compute the chemical composition at a given location and time. The “manifold tracking model” first track...

How epidemiology has challenged 3 prevailing concepts about atopic dermatitis (2006)
Journal Article
Williams, H., & Flohr, C. (2006). How epidemiology has challenged 3 prevailing concepts about atopic dermatitis. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 118,

We challenge 3 prevailing concepts in understanding atopic
dermatitis using data from epidemiologic studies. First, we
show that although atopy is associated with atopic dermatitis to
some degree, its importance is not likely to be a simple causea... Read More about How epidemiology has challenged 3 prevailing concepts about atopic dermatitis.
