Similarities in contexts and theorizing: professionalism and inequality (2012)
Journal Article

For a long time sociologists of professions have differentiated Anglo-American and European contexts for professional work. The presentation will address this distinction and argue that processes of convergence now render such differences somewhat ob...

Le droit d'auteur et le droit sui generis sur les bases de données: quinze ans plus tard: un succès ou un échec? (2012)
Journal Article

La directive harmonisant le droit d’auteur sur les bases de données et créant un nouveau droit (le droit sui generis) fut adoptée en 1996 et transposée dans les Etats Membres de l’Union Européenne en 1998. Cet article évalue quinze plus tard si elle... Read More about Le droit d'auteur et le droit sui generis sur les bases de données: quinze ans plus tard: un succès ou un échec?.

Eudemonic intellectual property: patents and related rights as engines of happiness, peace, and sustainability (2012)
Journal Article

The predominant justification for most intellectual property rights is the incentive theory or utilitarian rationale. Behind this justification lies the Western idea of progress and its derivatives: liberalism, capitalism, and consumerism. After havi...

A toolbox for parameter-free predictions of solid-state properties of monodisperse glassy polymers with frozen-in molecular orientation (2012)
Journal Article

A toolbox that allows designers to predict the properties of oriented glassy polymers using only existing material constants is constructed from a constitutive model applicable to both polymer solids and polymer melts. Two solid-state properties of p... Read More about A toolbox for parameter-free predictions of solid-state properties of monodisperse glassy polymers with frozen-in molecular orientation.

Ideal point error for model assessment in data-driven river flow forecasting (2012)
Journal Article

When analysing the performance of hydrological models in river forecasting, researchers use a number of diverse statistics. Although some statistics appear to be used more regularly in such analyses than others, there is a distinct lack of consisten...

Bursting the bubble on bacterial biofilms: a flow cell methodology (2012)
Journal Article

The flow cell biofilm system is an important and widely used tool for the in vitro cultivation and evaluation of bacterial biofilms under hydrodynamic conditions of flow. This paper provides an introduction to the background and use of such systems,... Read More about Bursting the bubble on bacterial biofilms: a flow cell methodology.

Callers' experiences of contacting a national suicide prevention helpline: report of an online survey (2012)
Journal Article

Background: Helplines are a significant phenomenon in the mixed economy of health and social care. Given the often anonymous and fleeting nature of caller contact, it is difficult to obtain data about their impact and how users perceive their value....

Discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximation of quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems II: strongly monotone quasi-Newtonian flows (2012)
Journal Article

In this article we develop both the a priori and a posteriori error analysis of hp– version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for strongly monotone quasi-Newtonian fluid flows in a bounded Lipschitz domain Ω ⊂ R^d, d = 2,...

Characterisation of retroviruses in the horse genome and their transcriptional activity via transcriptome sequencing (2012)
Journal Article

The recently released draft horse genome is incompletely characterised in terms of its repetitive element pro?le. This paper presents characterisation of the endogenous retrovirus (ERVs) of the horse genome based on a data-mining strategy using mur...

Walter Hopps's Los Angeles pastoral (2012)
Journal Article

An intriguing tale crops up in oral history interviews conducted with Los Angeles artists and curators of the 1950s. Recounted by the curator Walter Hopps, the artist Craig Kauffman, and the gallerist Jim Newman, it concerns a Midwestern farmer, who,... Read More about Walter Hopps's Los Angeles pastoral.

Additional interventions to enhance the effectiveness of individual placement and support: a rapid evidence assessment (2012)
Journal Article

Topic: Additional interventions used to enhance the e?ectiveness of individual placement and support (IPS). Aim: To establish whether additional interventions improve the vocational outcomes of IPS alone for people with severe mental illness. Method:...

Effects of ?-synuclein overexpression in transgenic Caenorhabditis elegans strains (2012)
Journal Article

The neural protein α-synuclein aggregates both in vivo and in vitro to form insoluble fibrils that are involved in Parkinson’s disease pathogenesis. We have generated α-synuclein/fluorescent-protein fusion constructs overexpressed in muscle cells of...

An investigation into the relationship between type-2 FOU size and environmental uncertainty in robotic control (2012)
Conference Proceeding

It has often been suggested that when faced with large amount of uncertainty in situations of automated control type-2 fuzzy logic based controllers will out perform the simpler type-1 varieties due to the latter lacking a mechanism to model this un...

Magnetic field effects on the vestibular system: calculation of the pressure on the cupula due to ionic current-induced Lorentz force (2012)
Journal Article

Large static magnetic fields may be employed in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). At high magnetic field strengths (usually from about 3 tesla and above) it is possible for humans to perceive a number of effects. One such effect is mild vertigo. Rece...

Minkowski polynomials and mutations (2012)
Journal Article

Given a Laurent polynomial f, one can form the period of f: this is a function of one complex variable that plays an important role in mirror symmetry for Fano manifolds. Mutations are a particular class of birational transformations acting on Lauren... Read More about Minkowski polynomials and mutations.

Neuroemulation: definition and key benefits for water resources research (2012)
Journal Article

Neuroemulation is the art and science of using a neural network model to replicate the external behaviour of some other model and it is an activity that is distinct from neural-network-based simulation. Whilst is has become a recognised and establish... Read More about Neuroemulation: definition and key benefits for water resources research.

Modeling the re-anchoring of a ruptured tendon in bonded post-tensioned concrete (2012)
Conference Proceeding

: In this study, a theoretical model is deve loped to simulate the re-anchorage of a ruptured bonded post-tensioning tendon. This includes estimating the re-anchorage length and stress distribution over the tendon. The model accounts for equilibr...

Enclosure stories: narratives from Northamptonshire (2012)
Journal Article

This paper rethinks and revises enclosure narratives, thickening the concept of enclosure by researching a particular place and period: the English Midland county of Northamptonshire in the period between the 16th and the 19th centuries. It argues th... Read More about Enclosure stories: narratives from Northamptonshire.
