Happy IP: aligning intellectual property rights with well-being (2015)
Journal Article
Derclaye, E., & Taylor, T. (2015). Happy IP: aligning intellectual property rights with well-being. Intellectual Property Quarterly, 1,

The Chicago School of the law and economics movement, on which the predominant justification for independent property rights is based in most countries, is flawed mainly because it takes economic wealth as the sole proxy for well-being. We suggest re... Read More about Happy IP: aligning intellectual property rights with well-being.

What this article demonstrates is the close relation between revelatory events and their imprints in the biblical tradition. I have chosen the earliest writing in the New Testament to illustrate how quickly this process took place. Hardly more than a...

Previous attempts to synthesise biblical texts’ usage of tw‘bh have associated the language with cultic concerns in Deuteronomy and Ezekiel or with ethical concerns in Proverbs. The reconciliation of these interests, especially in conjunction with a... Read More about What makes a thing abominable?

Measuring emotional response is suggested to provide a richer insight into consum... Read More about Measuring the emotional response to beer and the relative impact of sensory and packaging cues.

A greedy heuristic for workforce scheduling and routing with time-dependent activities constraints (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Castillo-Salazar, J. A., Landa-Silva, D., & Qu, R. (2015). A greedy heuristic for workforce scheduling and routing with time-dependent activities constraints.

We present a greedy heuristic (GHI) designed to tackle five time-dependent activities constraints (synchronisation, overlap, minimum difference, maximum difference and minimum-maximum difference) on workforce scheduling and routing problems. These ty... Read More about A greedy heuristic for workforce scheduling and routing with time-dependent activities constraints.
