Two-grid hp-DGFEM for second order quasilinear elliptic PDEs based on an incomplete Newton iteration (2013)
Conference Proceeding

In this paper we propose a class of so-called two-grid hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element methods for the numerical solution of a second-order quasilinear elliptic boundary value problem based on the application of a single step of a no...

Mãe Africana, Pátria Brasileira: negotiating the racial politics of identity, freedom and motherhood in nineteenth-century Bahia, Brazil (2013)
Book Chapter

Margarida Ignácio de Medeiros was one of up to twelve million enslaved Africans brought to Brazil. She did not, however, remain enslaved all her life. Margarida’s trajectory from enslavement to freedom was typical of many enslaved African women labou...

Mirror symmetry and Fano manifolds (2013)
Conference Proceeding

We consider mirror symmetry for Fano manifolds, and describe how one can recover the classification of 3-dimensional Fano manifolds from the study of their mirrors. We sketch a program to classify 4-dimensional Fano manifolds using these ideas.

Application of hp-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin methods to bifurcation phenomena in pipe flows (2013)
Conference Proceeding

In this article we consider the a posteriori error estimation and adaptive mesh refinement of hp-version discontinuous Galerkin finite element approximations of the bifurcation problem associated with the steady incompressible Navier-Stokes equations...

Synergism between cAMP and PPAR? signalling in the initiation of UCP1 gene expression in HIB1B brown adipocytes (2013)
Journal Article

Expression of the brown adipocyte-specific gene, uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1), is increased by both PPAR stimulation and cAMP activation through their ability to stimulate the expression of the PPAR coactivator PGC1. In HIB1B brown preadipocytes, comb... Read More about Synergism between cAMP and PPAR? signalling in the initiation of UCP1 gene expression in HIB1B brown adipocytes.

Application of small punch creep testing to a thermally sprayed CoNiCrAlY bond coat (2013)
Journal Article

High velocity oxy-fuel thermal spraying was used to prepare free-standing CoNiCrAlY (Co–31.7% Ni–20.8% Cr–8.1% Al–0.5% Y (wt%)) bond coat alloy samples approximately 0.5 mm thick. Creep tests were conducted at 750 °C on these samples using a small pu... Read More about Application of small punch creep testing to a thermally sprayed CoNiCrAlY bond coat.

Beyond the therapeutic: a Habermasian view of self-help groups’ place in the public sphere (2013)
Journal Article

Abstract Self-help groups in the United Kingdom continue to grow in number and address virtually every conceivable health condition, but they remain the subject of very little theoretical analysis. The literature to date has predominantly focused... Read More about Beyond the therapeutic: a Habermasian view of self-help groups’ place in the public sphere.

Ultrasonic attenuation measurements at very high SNR: Correlation, information theory and performance (2013)
Journal Article

This paper describes a system for ultrasonic wave attenuation measurements which is based on pseudo-random binary codes as transmission signals combined with on-the-fly correlation for received signal detection. The apparatus can receive signals in t... Read More about Ultrasonic attenuation measurements at very high SNR: Correlation, information theory and performance.

The 'right' side of the law: state of siege and the rise of fascism in interwar Romania (2013)
Journal Article

The aim of this article is to problematize one of the most audacious tenets of the new consensus, namely the revolutionary character of fascism, by linking together the experience of the state of siege and the emergence of the fascist movement in int...

Catalytic reduction of ortho- and para-azidonitrobenzenes via tert-butoxide ion mediated electron transfer (2013)
Journal Article

The reduction of a range of substituted azidonitrobenzene derivatives to the corresponding aniline is described. The chemoselective reaction proceeds cleanly and in good yield, generating minimal waste products. The process involves a thiazolium salt...

Sexual reproduction and mating-type-mediated strain development in the penicillin-producing fungus Penicillium chrysogenum (2013)
Journal Article

Penicillium chrysogenum is a filamentous fungus of major medical and historical importance, being the original and present-day industrial source of the antibiotic penicillin. The species has been considered asexual for more than 100 y, and despite co...

A time predefined variable depth search for nurse rostering (2013)
Journal Article

This paper presents a variable depth search for the nurse rostering problem. The algorithm works by chaining together single neighbourhood swaps into more effective compound moves. It achieves this by using heuristics to decide whether to continue ex... Read More about A time predefined variable depth search for nurse rostering.
