Draw a line on your PDA to authenticate
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Liu, X., Ren, Z., Chang, X., Gao, H., & Aickelin, U. Draw a line on your PDA to authenticate.

The trend toward a highly mobile workforce and the ubiquity of graphical interfaces (such as the stylus and touch-screen) has enabled the emergence of graphical authentications in Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs) [1]. However, most of the current g... Read More about Draw a line on your PDA to authenticate.

Journal Article
McGrath, S. Education and development: thirty years of continuity and change. International Journal of Educational Development, 30(6), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijedudev.2010.04.004

At the end of the thirtieth volume of IJED and in the year that the journal published its 1000th paper, it is appropriate to look back at the journal’s development. In so doing, this article will discuss a series of important issues regarding the fu... Read More about Education and development: thirty years of continuity and change.

Respectable white ladies, wayward girls, and telephone thieves in Miami’s “Case of the Clinking Brassieres”
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Miller, V. Respectable white ladies, wayward girls, and telephone thieves in Miami’s “Case of the Clinking Brassieres”.

This essay uses the 1950 “case of the clinking brassieres” to explore female theft in Miami at mid-century and the ways in which gender, race, class, respectability, and youth offered protections and shaped treatment within Florida’s criminal justice...

Works in progress: new technologies and the European Court of Human Rights
Journal Article
Murphy, T., & Ó Cuinn, G. Works in progress: new technologies and the European Court of Human Rights. Human Rights Law Review, 10(4), https://doi.org/10.1093/hrlr/ngq038

A field—new technologies and human rights or, more broadly, law and technology—is in the process of being framed. Should the European Court of Human Rights be seen as part of that process? To find out, we searched the Court’s case-law using HUDOC, a... Read More about Works in progress: new technologies and the European Court of Human Rights.

'Climategate': paradoxical metaphors and political paralysis
Journal Article
Nerlich, B. 'Climategate': paradoxical metaphors and political paralysis. Environmental Values, 14(9), https://doi.org/10.3197/096327110X531543

Climate scepticism in the sense of climate denialism or contrarianism is not a new phenomenon, but it has recently been very much in the media spotlight. When, in November 2009, emails by climate scientists were published on the internet without thei... Read More about 'Climategate': paradoxical metaphors and political paralysis.

Information fusion in the immune system

Biologically-inspired methods such as evolutionary algorithms and neural networks are proving useful in the field of information fusion. Artificial immune systems (AISs) are a biologically-inspired approach which take inspiration from the biological... Read More about Information fusion in the immune system.

Against spyware using CAPTCHA in graphical password scheme
Journal Article
Wang, L., Chang, X., Ren, Z., Haichang, G., Liu, X., & Aickelin, U. Against spyware using CAPTCHA in graphical password scheme. https://doi.org/10.1109/AINA.2010.46

Text-based password schemes have inherent security and usability problems, leading to the development of graphical password schemes. However, most of these alternate schemes are vulnerable to spyware attacks. We propose a new scheme, using CAPTCHA (... Read More about Against spyware using CAPTCHA in graphical password scheme.

Schoenauer, & E. Lutton (Eds.), Artificial evolution: 9th International Conference = Evolution Artificielle, EA 2009: Strasbourg, France, October 26-28, 2009: revised selected papers. Springer

This paper demonstrates that a set of behaviours evolved in simulation on a miniature robot (epuck) can be transferred to a much larger scale platform (a virtual Pioneer P3-DX) that also differs in shape, sensor type, sensor configuration and progra...

Two-timescale learning using idiotypic behaviour mediation for a navigating mobile robot
Journal Article
Whitbrook, A., Aickelin, U., & Garibaldi, J. M. Two-timescale learning using idiotypic behaviour mediation for a navigating mobile robot. Applied Soft Computing, 10(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.asoc.2009.10.005

A combined short-term learning (STL) and long-term learning (LTL) approach to solving mobile-robot navigation problems is presented and tested in both the real and virtual domains. The LTL phase consists of rapid simulations that use a genetic algo... Read More about Two-timescale learning using idiotypic behaviour mediation for a navigating mobile robot.

From the centre to the margins: German-speaking scholarship on Matthew’s Gospel as a case study for Matthean scholarship as a whole
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Deines, R. From the centre to the margins: German-speaking scholarship on Matthew’s Gospel as a case study for Matthean scholarship as a whole.

Matthean scholarship was once a booming discipline and one of the centres of New Testament research; it’s probably not just biased prejudice when a German claims that the initial thrust behind the heyday of Matthean scholarship in the early second ha...

Automorphic forms of higher order
Journal Article
Deitmar, A., & Diamantis, N. Automorphic forms of higher order. Journal of the London Mathematical Society, 80(1), https://doi.org/10.1112/jlms/jdp015

In this paper a theory of Hecke operators for higher-order modular forms is established. The definition of higher-order forms is extended beyond the realm of parabolic invariants. A canonical inner product is introduced. The role of representation th... Read More about Automorphic forms of higher order.

System dynamics modelling of the processes involving the maintenance of the naive T cell repertoire
Book Chapter

The study of immune system aging, i.e. immunosenescence, is a relatively new research topic. It deals with understanding the processes of immuno-degradation that indicate signs of functionality loss possibly leading to death. Even though it is not po...

The comparison of classification accuracy statements has generally been based upon tests of difference or inequality when other scenarios and approaches may be more appropriate. Procedures for evaluating two scenarios with interest focused on the sim...

On the suboptimality of the p-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method
Journal Article
Georgoulis, E. H., Hall, E., & Melenk, J. M. (2009). On the suboptimality of the p-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method. Journal of Scientific Computing,

We address the question of the rates of convergence of the p-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method (p-IPDG) for second order elliptic problems with non-homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. It is known that the p-IPDG method adm... Read More about On the suboptimality of the p-version interior penalty discontinuous Galerkin method.
