Fast wavelet-based pansharpening of multi-spectral images (2010)
Conference Proceeding
Remote Sensing systems enhance the spatial quality of low-resolution Multi-Spectral (MS) images using information from Pan-chromatic (PAN) images under the pansharpening framework. Most decimated multi-resolution pansharpening approaches upsample the... Read More about Fast wavelet-based pansharpening of multi-spectral images.
The pragmatics of education journals: the case of the International Journal of Educational Development (2010)
Journal Article
This article discusses some of the pragmatics and politics of academic journal publishing within the context of the contemporary higher education and publishing political economy. The case of the International Journal of Educational Development(IJED)... Read More about The pragmatics of education journals: the case of the International Journal of Educational Development.
The role of education in development: an educationalist’s response to some recent work in development economics (2010)
Journal Article
This paper delves beneath the widespread belief that education (often repackaged as human capital) is important in development to consider the role that the discipline of education plays in shaping the wider discourses of development. In particular,... Read More about The role of education in development: an educationalist’s response to some recent work in development economics.
'A Serious menace to security': British intelligence, V.K. Krishna Menon and the Indian High Commission in London, 1947–52 (2010)
Journal Article
Recently released Security Service (MI5) documents offer new insights into the Indian government's vulnerability to communist subversion after 1947, and the extent to which this threatened British national security. Existing historical works have not... Read More about 'A Serious menace to security': British intelligence, V.K. Krishna Menon and the Indian High Commission in London, 1947–52.

The price is right: making workplace wellness financially sustainable (2010)
Journal Article
Purpose – The public health argument for developing and maintaining workplace wellness programmes in organisations is well‐documented, particularly within the healthcare sector which aims to “set the example” for workplace health. However, workplace... Read More about The price is right: making workplace wellness financially sustainable.
Calcium window currents, periodic forcing and chaos: understanding single neuron response with a discontinuous one-dimensional map (2010)
Journal Article
Thalamocortical (TC) neurones are known to express the low-voltage activated, inactivating Ca2+ current IT. The triggering of this current underlies the generation of low threshold Ca2+ potentials that may evoke single or bursts of action potentials....

Predicting ?-turns and their types using predicted backbone dihedral angles and secondary structures (2010)
Journal Article
Background: β-turns are secondary structure elements usually classified as coil. Their prediction is important, because of their role in protein folding and their frequent occurrence in protein chains. Results: We have developed a novel method tha...

On the combinatorial classification of toric log del Pezzo surfaces (2010)
Journal Article
Toric log del Pezzo surfaces correspond to convex lattice polygons containing the origin in their interior and having only primitive vertices. An upper bound on the volume and on the number of boundary lattice points of these polygons is derived in t... Read More about On the combinatorial classification of toric log del Pezzo surfaces.

Bird flu hype: the spread of a disease outbreak through the media and Internet discussion groups (2010)
Journal Article
Bird flu, otherwise known as avian influenza, has attracted widespread public and global attention. The H5N1 avian influenza virus was first documented as infecting humans in Hong Kong in 1997, and many of those infected died subsequently from the vi...

Jahn-Teller effects in molecules on surfaces with specific application to C_60 (2010)
Book Chapter
Scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) is capable of imaging molecules adsorbed onto surfaces with su±cient resolution as to permit intramolecular features to be discerned. Therefore, imaging molecules subject to the Jahn-Teller (JT) effect could, in... Read More about Jahn-Teller effects in molecules on surfaces with specific application to C_60.
Calculation of images of oriented C_60 molecules using molecular orbital theory (2010)
Journal Article
Using Hückel molecular-orbital theory, images are created to represent the electron distributions expected for a C60 molecule adsorbed on a substrate. Three different orientations of the C60 molecule on the substrate are considered. The effect of t... Read More about Calculation of images of oriented C_60 molecules using molecular orbital theory.
An audio CAPTCHA to distinguish humans from computers (2010)
Book Chapter
CAPTCHAs are employed as a security measure to differentiate human users from bots. A new sound-based CAPTCHA is proposed in this paper, which exploits the gaps between human voice and synthetic voice rather than relays on the auditory perception o...

Artificial immune systems (2010)
Book Chapter
The human immune system has numerous properties that make it ripe for exploitation in the computational domain, such as robustness and fault tolerance, and many different algorithms, collectively termed Artificial Immune Systems (AIS), have been ins... Read More about Artificial immune systems.
High-order hp-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for compressible fluid flows (2010)
Book Chapter
This article is concerned with the construction of general isotropic and anisotropic adaptive strategies, as well as hp-mesh refinement techniques, in combination with dual-weighted-residual a posteriori error indicators for the discontinuous Galerki...

Convergent adaptive finite element methods for photonic crystal applications (2010)
Journal Article
We prove the convergence of an adaptive finite element method for computing the band structure of 2D periodic photonic crystals with or without compact defects in both the TM and TE polarization cases. These eigenvalue problems involve non-coerci... Read More about Convergent adaptive finite element methods for photonic crystal applications.
