Effects of task complexity and sensory conflict on goal-directed movement (2009)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J., & Spapé, M. M. (2009). Effects of task complexity and sensory conflict on goal-directed movement. Neuroscience Letters, 464(1), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neulet.2009.08.022

Interactions between brain regions are necessary for compound activities to take place. Accordingly, evaluating hemispheric information processing during skilled behaviour provides valuable knowledge about brain regulation. To this end, the present s...

Bimanual information processing and the impact of conflict during mirror drawing (2009)
Journal Article
Serrien, D. J. (2009). Bimanual information processing and the impact of conflict during mirror drawing. Behavioural Brain Research, 205(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.bbr.2009.07.015

Successful motor behavior depends on optimal information processing and planning. In the present study, the neural response of the motor system to conflict of visuomotor discrepancy (mirror-reversed vision) and complexity (task difficulty and hand la...

A reliability analysis method using binary decision diagrams in phased mission planning (2009)
Journal Article
Prescott, D., Remenyte-Prescott, R., Reed, S., Andrews, J., & Downes, C. (2009). A reliability analysis method using binary decision diagrams in phased mission planning. Proceedings of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, Part O: Journal of Risk and Reliability, 223(2), https://doi.org/10.1243/1748006XJRR202

The use of autonomous systems is becoming increasingly common in many fields. A significant example of this is the ambition to deploy UAVs (unmanned aerial vehicles) for both civil and military applications. In order for autonomous systems such as th...

Commitment in symmetric contests (2009)
Journal Article
Possajennikov, A. (2009). Commitment in symmetric contests. Economics Bulletin, 29(1),

The paper proves that in two-player logit form symmetric contests with concave success function, commitment to a
particular strategy does not increase a player's payoff, while in contests with more than two players it does. The paper also provides a... Read More about Commitment in symmetric contests.

Methodological insights into the study of centuriated field systems: a landscape archaeology perspective (2009)
Journal Article

The morphological identification of centuriated field systems has been characterised from its beginnings by methodological approaches mainly sustained on actus-based modular relationships and orientations. Many researchers dedicated to the identifica... Read More about Methodological insights into the study of centuriated field systems: a landscape archaeology perspective.

Security detention - United Kingdom practice (2009)
Journal Article
McGoldrick, D. (2009). Security detention - United Kingdom practice. Case Western Reserve Journal of International Law, 40(3),

This article assesses the role of security detention within the context of a number of the United Kingdom’s anti-terrorism policies. It considers the U.K. provisions on indefinite detention and the judicial response to those policies. Close attention... Read More about Security detention - United Kingdom practice.

Women, enclosure and estate improvement in eighteenth-century Northamptonshire (2009)
Journal Article
McDonagh, B. (2009). Women, enclosure and estate improvement in eighteenth-century Northamptonshire. Rural History, 20(2), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0956793309990021

This paper examines the role of elite women in estate management, enclosure and landscape improvement in eighteenth-century England, a topic which has to date received little in the way of sustained academic consideration. The paper focuses on four w... Read More about Women, enclosure and estate improvement in eighteenth-century Northamptonshire.

Springer. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-00582-4_10

The current work aims to unveil the neural circuits under- lying visual search over time and space by using a model-based analysis of behavioural and fMRI data. It has been suggested by Watson and Humphreys [31] that the prioritization of new stimuli...

Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India (2009)
Journal Article
Legg, S. (2009). Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India. Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers, 34(2), https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1475-5661.2009.00338.x

Whilst greatly valuing recent critiques of the vertical imaginary and reified ontology of scale theory, and of the unfettered flows of network theory, this paper argues against a human geography without scale. Rather, four propositions from the theor... Read More about Of scales, networks and assemblages: the League of Nations apparatus and the scalar sovereignty of the Government of India.

Predicting the human response to an emergency (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Lawson, G., Sharples, S., Cobb, S., & Clarke, D. Predicting the human response to an emergency. Presented at Contemporary Ergonomics 2009

This paper presents a case study of an approach for predicting the human response to a domestic fire, using a combination of a talk-through technique (Kirwan and Ainsworth, 1992) and sequential analysis (Bakeman and Gottman, 1986). 20 participants we...
