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...

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...

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...

An immune inspired Network Intrusion Detection System utilising correlation (2006)
Book Chapter

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.

Diatom D18O evidence for the development of the modern halocline system in the subarctic northwest Pacific at the onset of major Northern Hemisphere glaciation (2006)
Journal Article

Paleoceanography, 21(PA1009), https://doi.org/10.1029/2005PA001147

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...

Potential limitations of biogenic silica as an indicator of abrupt climate change in Lake Baikal, Russia (2006)
Journal Article
Swann, G. E., & Mackay, A. W. (2006). Potential limitations of biogenic silica as an indicator of abrupt climate change in Lake Baikal, Russia. Journal of Paleolimnology, 36(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/s10933-006-0005-7

Biogenic Silica (BSi) has been one of the most important proxies for determining the palaeoclimate from Lake Baikal over glacial-interglacial cycles. Concentrations (calculated through a 1% Na2CO3 wet-alkaline digestion) at a site in the north basin,...

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.

Implicit attitudes towards Genetically Modified (GM) foods: a comparison of context-free and context-dependent evaluations (2006)
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...

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.

Fault tree analysis is commonly used in the reliability assessment of industrial systems. When complex systems are studied conventional methods can become computationally intensive and require the use of approximations. This leads to inaccuracies in...
