Between compassion and conservatism: a genealogy of British humanitarian sensibilities (2010)
Book Chapter
Pupavac, V. (2010). Between compassion and conservatism: a genealogy of British humanitarian sensibilities. In D. Fassin, & M. Pandolfi (Eds.), Contemporary states of emergency: the politics of military and humanitarian interventions. Zone Books

Abstract: The chapter explores continuities in modern British humanitarianism at its birth two hundred years ago and today. Modern British humanitarianism arose out of the contradictions between humanist ideals, expanding social sympathies, and fears...

Elastic symmetries of defective crystals (2010)
Journal Article
Parry, G. P. (2010). Elastic symmetries of defective crystals. Journal of Elasticity, 101(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10659-010-9254-9

I construct discrete and continuous crystal structures that are compatible with a given choice of dislocation density tensor, and (following Mal’cev) provide a canonical form for these discrete structures. The symmetries of the discrete structures ex... Read More about Elastic symmetries of defective crystals.

Feature selection for classification of hyperspectral data by SVM (2010)
Journal Article
Pal, M., & Foody, G. M. (2010). Feature selection for classification of hyperspectral data by SVM. IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, 48(5), https://doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2009.2039484

SVM are attractive for the classification of remotely sensed data with some claims that the method is insensitive to the dimensionality of the data and so not requiring a dimensionality reduction analysis in pre-processing. Here, a series of classifi... Read More about Feature selection for classification of hyperspectral data by SVM.

A multiphase model for tissue construct growth in a perfusion bioreactor (2010)
Journal Article
O'Dea, R. D., Waters, S. L., & Byrne, H. M. (2010). A multiphase model for tissue construct growth in a perfusion bioreactor. Mathematical Medicine and Biology, 27(2), https://doi.org/10.1093/imammb/dqp003

The growth of a cell population within a rigid porous scaffold in a perfusion bioreactor is studied, using a three phase continuum model of the type presented by Lemon et al. (2006, Multiphase modelling of tissue growth using the theory of mixtures.... Read More about A multiphase model for tissue construct growth in a perfusion bioreactor.

Fast wavelet-based pansharpening of multi-spectral images (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitianoudis, N., Tzimiropoulos, G., & Stathaki, T. (2010). Fast wavelet-based pansharpening of multi-spectral images.

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
McGrath, S., & Mason, M. (2010). The pragmatics of education journals: the case of the International Journal of Educational Development

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
McGrath, S. (2010). The role of education in development: an educationalist’s response to some recent work in development economics. Comparative Education, 46(2), https://doi.org/10.1080/03050061003775553

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.

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
Laudanski, J., Sumner, C., & Coombes, S. (2010). Calcium window currents, periodic forcing and chaos: understanding single neuron response with a discontinuous one-dimensional map. Physical Review E, 82(1), Article e011924. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.82.011924

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....
