The missing link : merging neutron stars naturally produce jet-like structures and can power short gamma-ray bursts
(2011)
Short gamma-ray Bursts (SGRBs) are among the most luminous explosions in the universe, releasing in less than one second the energy emitted by our Galaxy over one year. Despite decades of observations, the nature of their ...

Study of inheritable mutations in von Neumann self-reproducing automata using the GOLLY simulator
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)
This article involves the study of inheritable mutations in a von Neumann self-reproducing automaton, making use of the GOLLY cellular automata simulator. Multi-point mutations were done on the tape which holds the description ...
Learning preferences and self-regulation : Design of a learner-directed e-learning model
(Springer Nature, 2011)
In e-learning, questions concerned how one can create course material that motivate and support students in guiding their own learning have attracted an increasing number of research interests ranging from adaptive learning ...
Closing down a means of collective voice for workers : Victimisation of union activists in Britain’
(2011)
This article examines the incidence and nature of employer victimisation of labour union activists in Britain between 1998 and 2009. It finds that the incidence is higher than is expected, shows signs of rising, and is ...
Metal-Free Disordered Vertical Sub-Micron Silicon Wires Produced from Electrochemical p-Type Porous Silicon Layers
(2011)
In this paper, we propose a simple, original and costless method to produce monocrystalline silicon sub-micron wires by electrochemical etching of silicon wafers. For this purpose, 30-50 Omega cm p-type silicon samples ...
UH Ferret : Implementation of a copy-detection tool
(2011)
UH Ferret is a fast C++ implementation of a trigram-based copy-detection algorithm. The code forms the base of a graphical user-interface, a web-based server interface, and a ruby gem.
Property Rights and the Duty to Extend Human Life
(2011)
This article examines what the author calls the ‘argument from duty’, i.e. the argument that we should recognize private property rights in space because doing so will help us to act upon our duty to ensure the future ...
