‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society (2013)
Journal Article
Davies, P. (2013). ‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society. Historia: Zeitschrift für Alte Geschichte, 62(3), 259-279. https://doi.org/10.25162/historia-2013-0013

In the course of his exhaustive study regarding the development of the term kalos kagathos, Félix Bourriot has proposed a specifically Spartan usage of the term, with a narrow military meaning. Here, I critically examine his arguments for this Sparta... Read More about ‘Kalos kagathos’ and Scholarly Perceptions of Spartan Society.

Globalization and the economic growth of some developing countries are not new issues. Moreover, when globalization takes the form of a knowledge-based economy, education is increasingly becoming a crucial factor in the contemporary neo-liberal marke...

Generalizations of Hedberg’s Theorem (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Kraus, N., Escardó, M., Coquand, T., & Altenkirch, T. (2013). Generalizations of Hedberg’s Theorem. In Typed Lambda Calculi and Applications: 11th International Conference, TLCA 2013, Eindhoven, The Netherlands, June (173-188). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-38946-7_14

As the groupoid interpretation by Hofmann and Streicher shows, uniqueness of identity proofs (UIP) is not provable. Generalizing a theorem by Hedberg, we give new characterizations of types that satisfy UIP. It turns out to be natural in this context... Read More about Generalizations of Hedberg’s Theorem.

An Analytical Approach to Single Node Delay-Coupled Reservoir Computing (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Schumacher, J., Toutounji, H., & Pipa, G. (2013). An Analytical Approach to Single Node Delay-Coupled Reservoir Computing. In Artificial Neural Networks and Machine Learning – ICANN 2013 23rd International Conference on Artificial Neural Networks Sofia, Bulgaria, September 10-13, 2013. Proceedings (26-33). https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-40728-4_4

Reservoir computing has been successfully applied in difficult time series prediction tasks by injecting an input signal into a spatially extended reservoir of nonlinear subunits to perform history-dependent nonlinear computation. Recently, the netwo... Read More about An Analytical Approach to Single Node Delay-Coupled Reservoir Computing.

Estimation of Conductivity Tensors from Human Ventricular Optical Mapping Recordings (2013)
Book Chapter
Walmsley, J., Mirams, G. R., Efimov, I. R., Burrage, K., & Rodriguez, B. (2013). Estimation of Conductivity Tensors from Human Ventricular Optical Mapping Recordings. In S. Ourselin, D.

Springer Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-642-38899-6_27

Experimental recordings of transmural activation in the human left ventricle show variability in recorded activation times. In this paper we demonstrate a framework for fitting the conductivity tensor of a monodomain model to reproduce activation tim...

A study of unidirectional swipe gestures on in-vehicle touch screens (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Burnett, G., Crundall, E., Large, D., Lawson, G., & Skrypchuk, L. (2013). A study of unidirectional swipe gestures on in-vehicle touch screens. doi:10.1145/2516540.2516545

Touch screens are increasingly used within modern vehicles, providing the potential for a range of gestures to facilitate interaction under divided attention conditions. This paper describes a study aiming to understand how drivers naturally make swi... Read More about A study of unidirectional swipe gestures on in-vehicle touch screens.

Enhanced unblocking from sustained post-trial surprise (2013)
Journal Article
Haselgrove, M., Tam, S. K. E., & Jones, P. M. (2013). Enhanced unblocking from sustained post-trial surprise. Journal of Experimental Psychology: Animal Behavior Processes, 39(4), 311-322. https://doi.org/10.1037/a0032569

Two appetitive conditioning experiments with rats investigated the mechanisms and properties of unblocking that results from the surprising omission of an expected post-trial unconditioned stimulus (US). Experiment 1 demonstrated unblocking under cir... Read More about Enhanced unblocking from sustained post-trial surprise.

Group Decision Support and Social Software Techniques for PLM Decision Making (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Pasley, R., & MaCarthy, B. (2013). Group Decision Support and Social Software Techniques for PLM Decision Making

Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) is a common concern in industry. The whole cycle view allows faster product development with more control of risks and processes. Through PLM quality and effectiveness of product development and planning can be impr... Read More about Group Decision Support and Social Software Techniques for PLM Decision Making.
