In tropical areas, Dynamic Global Vegetation Models (DGVMs) still have deficiencies in simulating the timing of vegetation phenology. To start addressing this problem, standard Fourier-based methods are applied to aerosol screened monthly remotely se...

This paper advances three necessary conditions on a successful account of sentential negation. First, the ability to explain the constancy of sentential meaning across negated and unnegated contexts (the Fregean Condition). Second, the ability to exp...

Taboos surrounding human waste have resulted in a lack of attention to spatial inequalities in access to sanitation and the consequences of this for human, environmental and economic health. This paper explores spaces where urgent environmental healt... Read More about Geographies of shit: spatial and temporal variations in attitudes towards human waste.

Contested legitimacy and the ambiguous rise of vestries in early modern London (2011)

Studies of the rise of London's vestries in the period to 1640 have tended to discuss them in terms of the inexorable rise of oligarchy and state formation. This article re-examines the emergence of the vestries in several ways, moving beyond this tr... Read More about Contested legitimacy and the ambiguous rise of vestries in early modern London.

We propose an approach for opportunistic forwarding that supports optimization of multipoint high volume data flow transfer while maintaining high buffer availability and low delays. This paper explores a number of social, buffer and delay heuristics... Read More about Congestion aware forwarding in delay tolerant and social opportunistic networks.

Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology (2011)

We continue to introduce bi-galileon theory, the generalisation of the single galileon model introduced by Nicolis et al. The theory contains two coupled scalar fields and is described by a Lagrangian that is invariant under Galilean shifts in those... Read More about Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology.

Pulsating fronts in periodically modulated neural field models (2011)
Journal Article
Coombes, S., & Laing, C. (in press). Pulsating fronts in periodically modulated neural field models. Physical Review E, Article 011912. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.83.011912

We consider a coarse grained neural field model for synaptic activity in spatially extended cortical tissue that possesses an underlying periodicity in its microstructure. The model is written as an integro-differential equation with periodic modula... Read More about Pulsating fronts in periodically modulated neural field models.

A comparison of broad-spectrum and narrow-spectrum dry cow therapy used alone and in combination with a teat sealant (2011)
