On undecidability bounds for matrix decision problems (2008)
Journal Article
Bell, P. (2008). On undecidability bounds for matrix decision problems. Theoretical Computer Science, 3 - 13. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tcs.2007.10.025

In this paper we consider several reachability problems such as vector reachability, membership in matrix semigroups and reachability problems in piecewise linear maps. Since all of these questions are undecidable in general, we work on lowering the... Read More about On undecidability bounds for matrix decision problems.

A Long-Distance Avian Migrant Compensates for Longitudinal Displacement during Spring Migration (2008)
Journal Article
Chernetsov, N., Kishkinev, D., & Mouritsen, H. (2008). A Long-Distance Avian Migrant Compensates for Longitudinal Displacement during Spring Migration. Current Biology, 18(3), 188-190. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2008.01.018

In order to perform true bicoordinate navigation, migratory birds need to be able to determine geographic latitude and longitude. The determination of latitude is relatively easy from either stellar or magnetic cues 1, 2, 3, but the determination of...

A survey for low mass spectroscopic binary stars in the young clusters around sigma Orionis and lambda Orionis (2008)
Journal Article
(2008). A survey for low mass spectroscopic binary stars in the young clusters around sigma Orionis and lambda Orionis. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2210-2224. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2008.13008.x

We have obtained multi-epoch, high-resolution spectroscopy of 218 candidate low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the young clusters around sigma Ori and lambda Ori. We find that 196 targets are cluster members based on their radial velocity, the equiva...

Weed and invertebrate community compositions in arable farmland (2008)
Journal Article
Smith, V., Bohan, D. A., Clark, S. J., Haughton, A. J., Bell, J. R., & Heard, M. S. (2008). Weed and invertebrate community compositions in arable farmland. Arthropod-Plant Interactions, 2, Article 21-30. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11829-007-9027-y

A large proportion of the land surface area of Great Britain (GB) is used for arable agriculture. Due to changes in farm management practices over the last 50 years, there have been marked declines in the abundance of arable wildlife groups of conser...

The role of peer communication in the socialization of adolescents' pain experiences: a qualitative investigation. (2008)
Journal Article
(2008). The role of peer communication in the socialization of adolescents' pain experiences: a qualitative investigation. BMC Pediatrics, https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2431-8-2

BACKGROUND: Recurrent pain is a common complaint among adolescents. Children learn to resolve or cope with pain largely through family dynamics, particularly maternal influences. By adolescence, young people possess an array of pain behaviors, the cu...

Experiencing and controlling time in everyday life with chronic widespread pain: a qualitative study (2008)
Journal Article
(2008). Experiencing and controlling time in everyday life with chronic widespread pain: a qualitative study. BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 3 -?. https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2474-9-3

BACKGROUND: Chronic widespread pain (CWP) affects 10% of adults and often causes significant disability in everyday life. Research on time in chronic conditions has focused on biographical disruption and perceptions of past and future. However, more...

Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis in Full Eigenspace (2008)
Book Chapter
Mandal. (2008). Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis in Full Eigenspace. In Proceedings of the 2007 International Conference on Image Processing, Computer Vision, & Pattern Recognition, IPCV 2007, June 25-28, 2007, Las Vegas Nevada, (235-241)

This work proposes a method which enables us to perform kernel Fisher discriminant analysis in the whole
eigenspace for face recognition. It employs the ratio of eigenvalues to decompose the entire kernel feature space into two subspaces: a reliable... Read More about Kernel Fisher Discriminant Analysis in Full Eigenspace.

The logic of a justified hope: The dialectic of police reform in Northern Ireland (2008)
Journal Article
Ryan, B. J. (2008). The logic of a justified hope: The dialectic of police reform in Northern Ireland. Capital and Class, 32(2), 83-107. https://doi.org/10.1177/030981680809500104

This article examines proposals for the reform of the relationship between internal security and state-society relations in Northern Ireland and finds a divergence from the usual liberal package of police reforms. These proposals embraced the politic... Read More about The logic of a justified hope: The dialectic of police reform in Northern Ireland.
