Environmental adversity and uncertainty favour cooperation. (2007)
Journal Article
(2007). Environmental adversity and uncertainty favour cooperation. BMC Evolutionary Biology, 240 - ?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2148-7-240

BACKGROUND: A major cornerstone of evolutionary biology theory is the explanation of the emergence of cooperation in communities of selfish individuals. There is an unexplained tendency in the plant and animal world - with examples from alpine plants... Read More about Environmental adversity and uncertainty favour cooperation..

Linear and nonlinear wave propagation in coated or uncoated elastic half-spaces (2007)
Book Chapter
(2007). Linear and nonlinear wave propagation in coated or uncoated elastic half-spaces. In Waves in Nonlinear Pre-Stressed Materials (103-127)

In these lectures, we discuss three closely related topics. We first discuss derivation of the nonlinear evolution equation for surface acoustic waves and show that all known methods of derivation should and do give the same evolution equation. We th...

A note on perturbation formulae for the surface-wave speed due to perturbations in material properties (2007)
Journal Article
(2007). A note on perturbation formulae for the surface-wave speed due to perturbations in material properties. Journal of Elasticity, 187 - 192. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10659-007-9130-4

In a recent paper by Tanuma and Man, a two-term asymptotic formula was derived for the speed of surface waves propagating in an anisotropic elastic half-space whose elastic moduli differ only slightly from those for a (base) isotropic elastic materia...

A coarse-grained spectral signature generator (2007)
Conference Proceeding
Lam, K., Austin, J., & Day, C. (2007). A coarse-grained spectral signature generator. . https://doi.org/10.1117/12.736723

This paper investigates the method for object fingerprinting in the context of element specific x-ray imaging. In particular, the use of spectral descriptors that are illumination invariant and viewpoint independent for pattern identification was exa...

On the membership of invertible diagonal and scalar matrices (2007)
Journal Article
Bell, P. (2007). On the membership of invertible diagonal and scalar matrices. Theoretical Computer Science, 37 - 45. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tcs.2006.11.011

In this paper, we consider decidability questions that are related to the membership problem in matrix semigroups. In particular, we consider the membership of a given invertible diagonal matrix in a matrix semigroup and then a scalar matrix, which h...

Infinity (2007)
Book Chapter
(2007). Infinity. In Philosophy of Logic, vol. 5 of the Handbook of the Philosophy of Science (523 -585)

This essay surveys the different types of infinity that occur in pure and applied mathematics, with emphasis on: 1. the contrast between potential infinity and actual infinity; 2. Cantor's distinction between transfinite sets and absolute infinity; 3... Read More about Infinity.

Neuroevolution of agents capable of reactive and deliberative behaviours in novel and dynamic environments (2007)
Journal Article
Channon. (2007). Neuroevolution of agents capable of reactive and deliberative behaviours in novel and dynamic environments. Lecture notes in computer science, 345 - 354. https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-540-74913-4_35

Both reactive and deliberative qualities are essential for a good action selection mechanism. We present a model that embodies a hybrid of two very different neural network architectures inside an animat: one that controls their high level deliberati...
