Democracy in South Asia: Getting beyond the Structure-Agency Dichotomy (2004)
Journal Article
(2004). Democracy in South Asia: Getting beyond the Structure-Agency Dichotomy. Political Studies, 52(1), 1 - 8. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1467-9248.2004.00461.x

With reference to South Asia, we argue that recourse to the conventional structuralist and transition accounts of democratisation sustains an unhelpful dichotomy. Those approaches tend towards either determinism or agent-driven contingency. In contra... Read More about Democracy in South Asia: Getting beyond the Structure-Agency Dichotomy.

We use a probabilistic method to compute the propagation of an ionization front corresponding to the reionization of the intergalactic medium in a Λ-cold dark matter (ΛCDM) cosmology, including both hydrogen and helium. The effects of radiative trans... Read More about Radiative transfer through the intergalactic medium.

Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ? (2004)
Journal Article

We tested the prediction that, if hoverflies are Batesian mimics, this may extend to behavioral mimicry such that their numerical abundance at each hour of the day (the daily activity pattern) is related to the numbers of their hymenopteran models. A... Read More about Does the abundance of hoverfly mimics (Syrphidae) depend on the numbers of their hymenopteran models ?.
