Hamlet’s crisis of meaning, mental wellbeing and meaninglessness in the War on Terror (2008)
Journal Article
Pupavac, V. (2008). Hamlet’s crisis of meaning, mental wellbeing and meaninglessness in the War on Terror. Mental Health Review Journal, 13(1),

Drawing on Shakespeare, and in particular Hamlet's psychological crisis, this paper examines the relationship between emotions and meaning, a key theme in artistic work, but, it is argued, neglected in social psychology. Hamlet's psychological crisis... Read More about Hamlet’s crisis of meaning, mental wellbeing and meaninglessness in the War on Terror.

Crop classification by a support vector machine with intelligently selected training data for an operational application (2008)
Journal Article
Mathur, A., & Foody, G. M. (2008). Crop classification by a support vector machine with intelligently selected training data for an operational application. International Journal of Remote Sensing, 29(8), https://doi.org/10.1080/01431160701395203

The accuracy of supervised classification is dependent to a large extent on the training data used. The aim is often to capture a large training set to fully describe the classes spectrally, commonly with the requirements of a conventional statistica...
