Biosecurity and insecurity: the interaction between policy and ritual during the foot and mouth crisis (2006)
Journal Article
Nerlich, B., & Wright, N. (2006). Biosecurity and insecurity: the interaction between policy and ritual during the foot and mouth crisis. Environmental Values, 15(4), https://doi.org/10.3197/096327106779116168

In 2001 a highly infectious animal disease, foot and mouth disease, broke out in the UK and spread rapidly. In May, when the spread seemed to be slowing down, new disease hotspots appeared in previously little affected regions, such as North Yorkshir...

The spatial character of sensor technology (2006)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Reeves, S., Pridmore, T., Crabtree, A., Green, J., Benford, S., & O'Malley, C. (2006). The spatial character of sensor technology.

By considering the spatial character of sensor-based interactive systems, this paper investigates how discussions of seams and seamlessness in ubiquitous computing neglect the complex spatial character that is constructed as a side-effect of deployin...

Qualitative analysis of complex modularized fault trees using binary decision diagrams (2006)
Journal Article

Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe (2006)
Journal Article
Rendall, M. (2006). Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe. Review of International Studies, 32(3), https://doi.org/10.1017/S0260210506007145

Why do great powers expand? Offensive realist John Mearsheimer claims that states wage an eternal struggle for power, and that those strong enough to seek regional hegemony nearly always do. Mearsheimer's evidence, however, displays a selection bias.... Read More about Defensive realism and the Concert of Europe.

This study examined behaviour towards genetically modified (GM) food in a British community-based sample. We used an equivalent gain task in which participants actually received the options they chose to encourage truthful responding. In conjunction...

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.

Potential limitations of biogenic silica as an indicator of abrupt climate change in Lake Baikal, Russia (2006)

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...

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.
