Regulation/deregulation
Book Chapter
Lim, K. F. Regulation/deregulation. In D. Richardson, N. Castree, M. F. Goodchild, A. L. Kobayashi, & R. Marston (Eds.), International encyclopedia of geography: people, the earth, environment, and technology. Wiley Blackwell

Economic regulation is dynamically entwined with deregulation. Contrary to the logic of market fundamentalism, producers and/or consumers do not always benefit from deregulation. Rational-choice theories of regulation have not impacted economic-geogr... Read More about Regulation/deregulation.

Grand Push Auto: a car based exertion game
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Marshall, J., Loesche, F., Linehan, C., Johnson, D., & Martelli, B. (2015). Grand Push Auto: a car based exertion game.

Grand Push Auto is an exertion game in which players aim to push a full sized car to ever increasing speeds. The re-appropriation of a car as essentially a large weight allows us to create a highly portable and distributable exertion game in which th...

Coupled parity-time symmetric cavities: results from transmission line modelling simulations
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Creagh, S., Sewell, P. D., Gradoni, G., & Benson, T. M. (2015). Coupled parity-time symmetric cavities: results from transmission line modelling simulations.

This paper studies the impact of a dispersive gain/loss material model on Parity-Time (PT) coupled microresonator cavity structures using the time-domain Transmission-Line Modelling method. A modal analysis is also performed to compare the modal comp... Read More about Coupled parity-time symmetric cavities: results from transmission line modelling simulations.

Threshold preservation of PT-resonant structures in realistic-dispersive medium
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Phang, S., Vukovic, A., Creagh, S. C., Benson, T. M., Sewell, P., & Gradoni, G. Threshold preservation of PT-resonant structures in realistic-dispersive medium.

The impact of material dispersion in the performance of parity-time (PT) symmetric coupled microresonators is studied. The eigenfrequencies of the coupled PT-system are analysed for different dispersion parameter. We show that realistic dispersion pr...

Research data sharing: developing a stakeholder-driven model for journal policies
Journal Article
Sturges, P., Bamkin, M., Anders, J. H., Hubbard, B., Hussain, A., & Heeley, M. Research data sharing: developing a stakeholder-driven model for journal policies. Journal of the Association for Information Science and Technology,

The conclusions of research articles generally depend on bodies of data that cannot be included in the articles themselves. The sharing of this data is important for reasons of both transparency and possible reuse. Science, Technology and Medicine jo...

The toponymy of communal activity: Anglo-Saxon assembly sites and their functions
Book Chapter
Baker, J. The toponymy of communal activity: Anglo-Saxon assembly sites and their functions. In J. Tort I Donada (Ed.), Els noms en la vida quotidiana. Actes del XXIV Congrés Internacional d’ICOS sobre Ciències Onomàstiques. ICOS

The paper builds on earlier discussion of the multiple functions of medieval judicial assembly sites, providing a comprehensive evaluation of relevant English hundred-names, and making reference to associated microtoponymy. While religious, military,... Read More about The toponymy of communal activity: Anglo-Saxon assembly sites and their functions.

What’s special about the ethical challenges of studying disorders with altered brain activity?
Book Chapter
Cassaday, H. J. What’s special about the ethical challenges of studying disorders with altered brain activity?. In G. Lee, J. Illes, & F. Ohl (Eds.), Ethical issues in behavioral neuroscience. Springer-Verlag. https://doi.org/10.1007/7854_2014_333

Where there is no viable alternative, studies of neuronal activity are conducted on animals. The use of animals, particularly for invasive studies of the brain, raises a number of ethical issues. Practical or normative ethics are enforced by legislat... Read More about What’s special about the ethical challenges of studying disorders with altered brain activity?.

The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Dalby, D. (2014). The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways.

Recent policy changes continue to raise the profile of mathematics in post-16 education but the integration of this seemingly academic subject within the context of vocational education remains challenging. In this paper evidence from a multi-method... Read More about The place and purpose of mathematics within post-16 vocational pathways.

Geometrical issues in the continuum mechanics of solid crystals
Journal Article
Nicks, R., & Parry, G. P. Geometrical issues in the continuum mechanics of solid crystals. Miskolc Mathematical Notes,

We shall outline geometrical and algebraic ideas which appear to lie at the foundation of the theory of defective crystals that was introduced by Davini [5] in 1986. The focus of the paper will be on the connection between continuous and discrete mod... Read More about Geometrical issues in the continuum mechanics of solid crystals.

Bayesian model choice via mixture distributions with application to epidemics and population process models
Book
O'Neill, P. D., & Kypraios, T. Bayesian model choice via mixture distributions with application to epidemics and population process models. University of Nottingham

We consider Bayesian model choice for the setting where the observed data are partially observed realisations of a stochastic population process. A new method for computing Bayes factors is described which avoids the need to use reversible jump appro...

Psychopharmacology, 230(4), https://doi.org/10.1007/s00213-013-3189-3

Rationale Mathematical models can assist the interpretation of the effects of interventions on schedule-controlled behaviour and help to differentiate between processes that may be confounded in traditional performance measures such as response rate...

Journal Article
Poulter, A. G. An indefensible frontier: the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum. Jahreshefte des Österreichischen Archäologischen Instituts in Wien, 81,

It has been long maintained that the system of barrier walls and fortlets in the Julian Alps dates to the early 4th century and that it was a fortification line used to defend Italy during times of civil war. Reviewing the historical, archaeological... Read More about An indefensible frontier: the Claustra Alpium Iuliarum.
