Legal Origin and Social Solidarity: : The continued relevance of Durkheim to comparative institutional analysis
(2017-06-01)By using the classic works of Durkheim as a theoretical platform, this research explores the relationship between legal systems and social solidarity. We found that certain types of civil law system, most notably those of ... -
Legal Personhood and the Firm: Avoiding Anthropomorphism and Equivocation
(2016-09-01)From the legal point of view, ‘person’ is not co-extensive with ‘human being’. Nor is it synonymous with ‘rational being’ or ‘responsible subject’. Much of the confusion surrounding the issue of the firm's legal personality ... -
Legal Risk Management, Governance & Compliance - Interdisciplinary Case Studies from Leading Experts
(Globe Law and Business, 2016-10-31)Charting key cases that have occurred internationally over the past two decades, the case-study companion-volume to Wild and Weinstein’s Guide to Best Practice provides the next level of critical analysis and legal commentary ... -
Legal Risk Management, Governance and Compliance : A Guide to Best Practice from Leading Experts
(Globe Law and Business, 2013-05)While identifying risks and regulatory challenges, chapters also explore how professionals can manage processes; implement change; track issues and loss events; screen potential clients, partners, employees and contractors; ... -
The Legal Underpinnings of Medical Discipline in Common Law Jurisdictions
(2019-05-29)Medical regulators have a responsibility to protect, promote, and maintain the health and safety of patients. Here, we compare and contrast the processes for addressing concerns about doctors in four countries with legal ... -
Legitimising the unacceptable and accepting the illegitimate : Symbolic violence in the engineering profession in the UK
(2016-06-22)The aim of this paper is to contribute to an understanding of the experiences of people from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities in the UK engineering profession by identifying the processes by which BME people are ... -
Legs that can walk: Embodiment-Based Modular Reinforcement Learning applied
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Experiments to illustrate a novel methodology for reinforcement learning in embodied physical agents are described. A simulated legged robot is decomposed into structurebased modules following the authors' EMBER principles ... -
A Leibniz notation for automatic differentiation
(Springer Nature, 2012)Notwithstanding the superiority of the Leibniz notation for differential calculus, the dot-and-bar notation predominantly used by the Automatic Differentiation community is resolutely Newtonian. In this paper we extend the ... -

LeMMINGs – I. The eMERLIN legacy survey of nearby galaxies. 1.5-GHz parsec-scale radio structures and cores
(2018-05-21)We present the first data release of high-resolution (≤0.2 arcsec) 1.5-GHz radio images of 103 nearby galaxies from the Palomar sample, observed with the eMERLIN array, as part of the LeMMINGs survey. This sample includes ... -
LeMMINGs. II. The e-MERLIN legacy survey of nearby galaxies. The deepest radio view of the Palomar sample on parsec scale
(2020-11-17)We present the second data release of high-resolution ($\leq0.2$ arcsec) 1.5-GHz radio images of 177 nearby galaxies from the Palomar sample, observed with the e-MERLIN array, as part of the LeMMINGs (Legacy e-MERLIN ... -
LeMMINGs. III. The e-MERLIN Legacy Survey of the Palomar sample. Exploring the origin of nuclear radio emission in active and inactive galaxies through the [O III] -- radio connection
(2021-12-01)What determines the nuclear radio emission in local galaxies? To address this question, we combine optical [O iii] line emission, robust black hole (BH) mass estimates, and high-resolution e-MERLIN 1.5-GHz data, from the ... -
Length of polynomials over finite groups
(2015-12-01)We study the length of polynomials over finite simple non-Abelian groups needed to realize Boolean functions. We apply the results for bounding the length of 5-permutation branching programs recognizing a Boolean set. ... -
Length of stay as a performance indicator : robust statistical methodology
(2005)Length of stay (LOS) is an important performance indicator for costing and hospital management and a key measure of efficiency of NHS. However, LOS is difficult to analyse because its statistical distribution is non-normal ... -
Leptin-based hexamers facilitate memory and prevent amyloid-driven AMPA receptor internalisation and neuronal degeneration
(2022-11-29)Key pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) include build-up of amyloid β (Aβ), which promotes synaptic abnormalities and ultimately leads to neuronal cell death. Metabolic dysfunction is known to influence the ... -
Leptosphaeria biglobosa inhibits the production of sirodesmin PL by L. maculans
(2022-11-29)BACKGROUND: Phoma stem canker is caused by two coexisting pathogens, Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa. They coexist because of their temporal and spatial separations, which are associated with the differences in ...
