Book
Mohr, A., Raman, S., & Gibbs, B. (2013). Which publics? When? Exploring the policy potential of involving different publics in dialogue around science and technology. Sciencewise-ERC

How should we understand ‘the public’ in public dialogue given the dominant assumption within policy-making that the people brought together in these events must constitute a representative sample of the wider population? To improve the prospects for... Read More about Which publics? When? Exploring the policy potential of involving different publics in dialogue around science and technology..

Measuring the directional distance between fuzzy sets (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McCulloch, J., Wagner, C., & Aickelin, U. (2013). Measuring the directional distance between fuzzy sets.

The measure of distance between two fuzzy sets is a fundamental tool within fuzzy set theory. However, current distance measures within the literature do not account for the direction of change between fuzzy sets; a useful concept in a variety of app...
