Le Paradoxe de l’incertitiude : Quand moins signife plus
(2009-12)Le récent écroulement de Wall Street et d’autres places financières illustre le revers de la médaille des opportunités et des potentialités. Le 29 septembre 2008, à la suite de quelques liquidations mineures dans les bourses ... -
The Paradoxes of Project Management: a Project Management Consultant’s Inquiry into the Social Reality of Technology-Driven Change Projects
(2018-08-22)This thesis is a practice-based inquiry into project management. It adds to the critique of more traditional discourse in project management literature (PMI 20013, IPMA 2010, Prince2 2009, Agile Alliance Organisation 2001) ... -
The paradoxes of the ‘everyday’: scrutinising the local turn in peace building
(2016-08-02)With the advent of the local turn in the mid-2000s, critical approaches have attempted to rethink peace building from the bottom up, placing local agents at the centre of the debate, declaring the end of top-down governance ... -
The Paradoxical Position of Self-reflection in Teaching and Assessment in Higher Education : How the application of blogging challenges learning habits
(2008-03-26)The main aim of the paper is to observe how blogging affects self-reflection. The application of blogs is discussed, based on the case study from a Year One module. A process of implementing and delivering this method ... -
The Paradoxical Profession: Project Management and the Contradictory Nature of Sustainable Project Objectives
(2021-06-01)Professions are undergoing a significant change in how they integrate environmental and social objectives into their core values. This article examines the situation in which those working in the project management profession ... -
Paraglacial response of steep, sediment-mantled slopes to post-‘Little Ice Age’ glacier recession in the central Swiss Alps
(2006-02-25)This research assesses the morphological consequences of recent (post-‘Little Ice Age’) paraglacial reworking of valley-side sediment mantles in the European Alps. It aims to identify the extent and conditioning factors ... -
Paraglacial rock-slope failure following deglaciation in western Norway
(Springer Nature, 2020-10-05)The paraglacial framework describes the geomorphological response to glaciation and deglaciation, whereby non-renewable, metastable, glacially-conditioned sediment sources are progressively released by a range of nonglacial ... -
Parallaxes and Infrared Photometry of three Y0 dwarfs
(2017-03-24)We have followed up the three Y0 dwarfs WISEPA J041022.71+150248.5, WISEPA J173835.53+273258.9 and WISEPC J205628.90+145953.3 using the UKIRT/WFCAM telescope/instruments. We find parallaxes that are more consistent and ... -
Parallaxes and physical properties of 11 mid-to-late T dwarfs
(2010)Aims. We present parallaxes of 11 mid-to-late T dwarfs observed in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. We use these results to test the reliability of model predictions in magnitude–color space, determine a magnitude-spectral ... -
Parallaxes of Five L Dwarfs with a Robotic Telescope
(2014-01-01)We report the parallax and proper motion of five L dwarfs obtained with observations from the robotic Liverpool Telescope. Our derived proper motions are consistent with published values and have considerably smaller errors. ... -
Parallaxes of L and T dwarfs

Parallaxes of southern extremely cool objects (PARSEC). II : Spectroscopic follow-up and parallaxes of 52 targets
(2013-12)We present near-infrared spectroscopy for 52 ultracool dwarfs, including two newly discovered late-M dwarfs, one new late-M subdwarf candidate, three new L, and four new T dwarfs. We also present parallaxes and proper ... -
Parallaxes of southern extremely cool objects III : 118 L and T dwarfs
(2018-12-11)We present new results from the Parallaxes of Southern Extremely Cool dwarfs program to measure parallaxes, proper motions and multiepoch photometry of L and early T dwarfs. The observations were made on 108 nights over ... -
Parallaxes of southern extremely cool objects. I. : Targets, proper motions, and first results
(2011)We present results from the PARallaxes of Southern Extremely Cool objects ( PARSEC) program, an observational program begun in 2007 April to determine parallaxes for 122 L and 28 T southern hemisphere dwarfs using the Wide ... -
Parallel dynamic subcarrier and time allocation protocol for long-reach OFDMA-PONs
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015)A new advanced medium access control protocol is described to support 100 km reach access networks, exhibiting the required quality-of-service for next generation passive optical networks based on orthogonal frequency ... -
Parallel Image Encryption Algorithm Using Partitioned Cellular Automata on Graphic Processor Unit
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2023-07-27)Image encryption is a reliable method for securely transmitting images over a network. The time required to encrypt and decrypt an image in online applications is also very important. Although cellular automata cryptography ... -
Parallel Microbial Ecology of Pasteuria and Nematode Species in Scottish soils
(2020-01-28)Pasteuria spp. are endospore forming bacteria which act as natural antagonists to many of the most economically significant plant parasitic nematodes (PPNs). Highly species-specific nematode suppression may be observed in ... -
A Parallel Pipelined Processor with Conditional Instruction Execution
(1991)In a recent paper by Smith, Lam and Horowitz [1] the concept of 'boosting' was introduced, where instructions from one of the possible instruction streams following a conditional branch were scheduled by the compiler for ... -
Parallel signal processing with S-Net
(2010)We argue that programming high-end stream-processing applications requires a form of coordination language that enables the designer to represent interactions between stream-processing functions asynchronously. We further ... -
Parallel Solution of Diffusion Equations using Laplace Transform Methods with Particular Reference to Black-Scholes Models of Financial Options
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-07-22)Diffusion equations arise in areas such as fluid mechanics, cellular biology, weather forecasting, electronics, mechanical engineering, atomic physics, environmental science, medicine, etc. This dissertation considers ...
