Lying: A Gricean Account
(2015-08-19)It is widely assumed that in order to lie, a speaker must at least assert a falsehood. I offer an analysis of lying based on the Gricean notion of communicative-intention and show how lying through assertion operates. I ... -
Lysenko's “Michurinism" and Art at the Darwin Museum 1935-1964
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2017-02-01)This chapter offers a case study from an art historian’s perspective, of the impact of the growth and decline of Trofim Lysenko’s power between 1935 and 1964 on the displays at the Darwin Museum, a natural history museum ... -
Lysenko, “Michurinism” and Art at the Moscow Darwin Museum 1930s-1950s
(2012-06)The triumph of Lysenko’s ‘Michurinism’ in 1948 did not just affect Soviet bio-sciences per se, it also affected the ways in which bio-science and Darwinian evolutionary theory were presented for mass consumption in Soviet ... -
Lysophosphatidic acid protects mesenchymal stem cells against hypoxia and serum deprivation-induced apoptosis
(2008-01)Bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have shown great promise for cardiac repair. However, poor viability of transplanted MSCs within the ischemic heart has limited their therapeutic potential. Our previous ... -

M Dwarfs from the SDSS, 2MASS and WISE Surveys: Identification, Characterisation and Unresolved Ultracool Companionship
(2016-09-01)The aim of this thesis is to use a cross-match between WISE, 2MASS and SDSS to identify a large sample of M dwarfs. Through the careful characterisation and quality control of these M dwarfs I aim to identify rare systems ... -
M. William Shak-speare, his true chronicle historie of the life and death of King Lear and his three daughters
(Prentice Hall Trade, 1995-04-01)This series, the "Shakespearean Originals," seeks to give the reader of modern drama examples of 16th and 17th-century playtexts in a form that are published in as close as mirror-image form as possible to the original ... -
M100 and NGC 6951: Morphological Clues to Central Dynamics
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996)High-resolution optical and NIR observations are used to constrain a dynamical model of the circumnuclear star forming (SF) region in the barred galaxy M100 (NGC 4321). Small leading arms observed in our K-band image of ... -

MAC Protocol Design for the Support of DBA in OFDMA-PON Networks
(2011-06)Original MAC frame formats have been developed to provide recommendations for new protocol designs in OFDMA-PONs. The portrayed scalability of the Dynamic Subcarrier Allocation (DScA) protocol is complemented by the ... -
MAC protocol requirements for OFDMA-PONs
(IEEE, 2012)This paper provides specifications of the parameters defining the design of medium access control (MAC) protocols for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) passive optical networks (PONs). A dynamic bandwidth ... -
Machinability of Bio-composites: Challenges and Prospects
(2nd Conference_FLOWER Project, Advanced Biobased Materials and Composites for Engineering Applications, University of Portsmouth, England, UK, 2020-09-17)The exceptional inherent properties of natural fibre reinforced polymer (FRP) composite materials and their bio-based hybrid counterparts have contributed to extensive engineering applications. These properties include, ... -
Machinability of natural-fibre-reinforced polymer composites: Convectional vs ultrasonically-assisted machining
(2019-01-31)Natural-fibre-reinforced polymer (NFRP) composites are becoming a viable alternative to synthetic fibre based composites in many industrial applications. Machining is often necessary to facilitate assembly of parts in a ... -
Machine code and metaphysics : a perspective on software engineering
(2016-01)A major, but too-little-considered problem for Software Engineering (SE) is a lack of consensus concerning Computer Science (CS) and how this relates to developing unpredictable computing technology. We consider some ... -
Machine learning and computational design
(2020-05)The use of computers in design is substantially different today from what it was only 30 years ago, and light-years ahead of how things were designed before computers entered the scene 60 years ago. This article discusses ... -
Machine Learning Approaches for Traffic Flow Forecasting
(2019-10-23)Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) as a field has emerged quite rapidly in the recent years. A competitive solution coupled with big data gathered for ITS applications needs the latest AI to drive the ITS for the smart ... -
A machine-learning method for identifying multi-wavelength counterparts of submillimeter galaxies : training and testing using AS2UDS and ALESS
(2018-07-27)We describe the application of supervised machine-learning algorithms to identify the likely multiwavelength counterparts to submillimeter sources detected in panoramic, single-dish submillimeter surveys. As a training ...
