Sinclair, N. (2007). Expressivism and the practicality of moral convictions. Journal of Value Inquiry, 41(2-4), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10790-007-9080-x

Many expressivists have employed a claim about the practicality of morality in support of their view that moral convictions are not purely descriptive mental states. In this paper I argue that all extant arguments of this form fail. I distinguish six... Read More about Expressivism and the practicality of moral convictions.

One-class classification for monitoring a specific land cover class: SVDD classification of fenland (2007)
Journal Article
Sanchez-Hernandez, C., Boyd, D. S., & Foody, G. M. (2007). One-class classification for monitoring a specific land cover class: SVDD classification of fenland. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 45(4), https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2006.890414

Remote sensing is a major source of land cover information. Commonly, interest focuses on a single land cover class. Although a conventional multi-class classifier may be used to provide a map depicting the class of interest the analysis is not focus...

When “happy” means “sad”: neuropsychological evidence for the right prefrontal cortex contribution to executive semantic processing (2007)
Journal Article
Samson, D., Connolly, C., & Humphreys, G. W. (2007). When “happy” means “sad”: neuropsychological evidence for the right prefrontal cortex contribution to executive semantic processing. Neuropsychologia, 45(5),

The contribution of the left inferior prefrontal cortex in semantic processing has been widely investigated in the last decade. Converging evidence from functional imaging studies shows that this region is involved in the “executive” or “controlled”...

Error analyses reveal contrasting deficits in “theory of mind”: neuropsychological evidence from a 3-option false belief task (2007)

Perspective taking is a crucial ability that guides our social interactions. In this study, we show how the specific patterns of errors of brain-damaged patients in perspective taking tasks can help us further understand the factors contributing to p...

Roy, S. (2007). The everyday life of the revolution: gender, violence and memory. South Asia Research, 27(2),

The ‘heroic life’ or the life of the revolutionary is one that resists or even seeks to transcend the everyday and the ordinary. The ‘banal’ vulnerabilities of everyday life, however, continue to constitute the unseen, often unspoken background of su...

Prime implicants for modularised non-coherent fault trees using binary decision diagrams (2007)
Journal Article
Remenyte-Prescott, R., & Andrews, J. (2007). Prime implicants for modularised non-coherent fault trees using binary decision diagrams. International Journal of Reliability and Safety, 1(4), https://doi.org/10.1504/IJRS.2007.016259

This paper presents an extended strategy for the analysis of complex fault trees. The method utilises simplification rules, which are applied to the fault tree to reduce it to a series of smaller subtrees, whose solution is equivalent to the original...
