Journal Article
Spence, A., & Townsend, E. (2006). Implicit attitudes towards Genetically Modified (GM) foods: a comparison of context-free and context-dependent evaluations. Appetite, 46(2), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.appet.2005.09.003

Past research on attitudes towards GM food has focused on measuring explicit attitudes. Here we compared implicit attitudes towards GM foods with explicit attitudes towards GM foods. We used the Go No-Go task to investigate context-free implicit eval...

European Cosmopolitan Solidarity (2006)
Journal Article
Stevenson, N. (2006). European Cosmopolitan Solidarity. European Journal of Social Theory, 9(4),

The idea of a cosmopolitan Europe continues to be central to contemporary debates within post-national citizenship. However, much of the writing in this area remains disconnected from the need to reinvent European social
democracy that questions the... Read More about European Cosmopolitan Solidarity.

Establishing a time frame for the development of the modern halocline and stratified water column in the subarctic North Pacific has significant paleoclimatic implications. Here we present a d18O(diatom) record consisting of only two species that rep...

Network Intrusion Detection Systems (NIDS) are computer systems which monitor a network with the aim of discerning malicious from benign activity on that network. While a wide range of approaches have met varying levels of success, most IDSs rely on... Read More about An immune inspired Network Intrusion Detection System utilising correlation.

Data Reduction in Intrusion Alert Correlation (2006)
Journal Article
Tedesco, G., & Aickelin, U. (2006). Data Reduction in Intrusion Alert Correlation. WSEAS Transactions on Computers,

Network intrusion detection sensors are usually built around low level models of network traffic. This means that their output is of a similarly low level and as a consequence, is difficult to analyze. Intrusion alert correlation is the task of autom...

Reduced models of chemical reaction in chaotic flows (2006)
Journal Article
Vikhansky, A., & Cox, S. M. (2006). Reduced models of chemical reaction in chaotic flows. Physics of Fluids, 18(3), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2182373

We describe and evaluate two reduced models for nonlinear chemical reactions in a chaotic laminar flow. Each model involves two separate steps to compute the chemical composition at a given location and time. The “manifold tracking model” first track...

How epidemiology has challenged 3 prevailing concepts about atopic dermatitis (2006)
Journal Article
Williams, H., & Flohr, C. (2006). How epidemiology has challenged 3 prevailing concepts about atopic dermatitis. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, 118,

We challenge 3 prevailing concepts in understanding atopic
dermatitis using data from epidemiologic studies. First, we
show that although atopy is associated with atopic dermatitis to
some degree, its importance is not likely to be a simple causea... Read More about How epidemiology has challenged 3 prevailing concepts about atopic dermatitis.
