Researcher bias : The use of machine learning in software defect prediction
(2014-06-03)
Background. The ability to predict defect-prone software components would be valuable. Consequently, there have been many empirical studies to evaluate the performance of different techniques endeavouring to accomplish ...
Balanced budget multipliers for small open regions within a federal system : evidence from the Scottish variable rate of income tax
(2014-06-02)
This paper explores the impact on aggregate economic activity in a small, open region of an income tax funded expansion in public consumption that has no direct supply-side effects. The conventional balanced budget multiplier ...
Documents of Performance : the Assignments Book of the Britannia Theatre, Hoxton
(2014-06)
Documentary evidence about the financial terms under which nineteenth-century dramatists produced their work is generally available only in piecemeal records that have survived by happenstance. This volume of agreements ...
'An Arabian in my room' : Shakespeare and the Canon
(2014-06-01)
The literary canon commonly thought of as ancient, accepted and agreed, and consistent between high and popular cultures. This article demonstrates the falsity of these assumptions, and argues that the canon is always ...
Equivalence between free quantum particles and those in harmonic potentials and its application to instantaneous changes
(2014-06)
In quantum physics the free particle and the harmonically trapped particle are arguably the most important systems a physicist needs to know about. It is little known that, mathematically, they are one and the same. This ...
Predicting timing of release of ascospores of Leptosphaeria spp. to improve control of phoma stem canker on oilseed rape in the UK
(2014-06)
Phoma stem canker is an economically damaging disease of oilseed rape crops, causing an annual loss estimated at more than £87M in the UK at a price of £390/t. It is caused by two related pathogens: Leptosphaeria maculans ...
Research Data Management Training for the whole project lifecycle in Physics & Astronomy research Final Report
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-06)
Research Data Management Training for the whole project lifecycle in Physics & Astronomy was co-funded by the JISC Managing Research Data Programme 2011-2013 and the University of Hertfordshire. The project was carried out ...
The importance of minor-merger-driven star formation and black-hole growth in disk galaxies
(2014-06-01)
We use the SDSS Stripe 82 to empirically quantify the stellar-mass and black-hole growth triggered by minor mergers in local spiral (disk) galaxies. Since major mergers destroy disks and create spheroids, morphologically ...
Service Oriented Toolkit for Research Data Management Final Report
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-06)
The Service Oriented Toolkit for Research Data Management project was co-funded by the JISC Managing Research Data Programme 2011-2013 and The University of Hertfordshire. The project focused on the realisation of practical ...
Difficulties in early ice detection with the Small Ice Detector 2 HIAPER (SID-2H) in maritime cumuli
(2014-06)
The Small Ice Detector 2 HIAPER (SID-2H) was used to attempt to detect small ice particles in the early stages of ice formation in the high liquid water environment of tropical maritime cumulus clouds sampled during the ...
