Market asymmetries, arbitrage and transition: the case of Russia
(University of Hertfordshire, 2010)
This paper develops the concept of corporate strategy as a process of arbitrage between markets where asymmetries are exploited by corporate managers. From a development position, this article argues that arbitrage is ...
Analysis of leaf appearance, leaf death and phoma leaf spot, caused by Leptosphaeria maculans, on oilseed rape (Brassica napus) cultivars
(2010)
Development of phoma leaf spot (caused by Leptosphaeria maculans) on winter oilseed rape (canola, Brassica napus) was assessed in two experiments at Rothamsted in successive years (2003-04 and 2004-05 growing seasons). ...
The rediscovery and posthumous influence of scepticism
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)
The history of the transmission, recover and posthumous influence of ancient scepticism is a fascinating chapter in the history of ideas. An extraordinary collection of philosophical texts and some of the most challenging ...
Reduced overlap frontier-based exploration with two cooperating mobile robots
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
In this paper, a frontier-based exploration is used with a couple of cooperating mobile robots to explore unknown environments. The aim is to decrease the overlap between the robots to minimize the exploration time. The ...
Audit as evidence : the effectiveness of '123 magic' programmes
(2010)
This paper reports on an audit to determine the effectiveness of '123 Magic', a group-based parenting programme that encourages parents to explore, discuss and practice strategies to manage child behaviour. The audit's use ...
Deformation Quasi-Hopf Algebras of Non-semisimple Type from Cochain Twists
(2010)
One way to obtain Quantized Universal Enveloping Algebras (QUEAs) of non-semisimple Lie algebras is by contracting QUEAs of semisimple Lie algebras. We prove that every contracted QUEA in a certain class is a cochain twist ...
Augmented reality stereoscopic visualization for intuitive robot teleguide
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
This paper proposes a method to simultaneously and coherently present visual and laser sensors information through an augmented reality visualization interface further enhanced by stereoscopic viewing. The use of graphical ...
Exploration with Two Cooperating Mobile Robots
(2010)
In this paper a new exploration algorithm using two cooperating robots is introduced. The new technique is a combination of wall-following exploration algorithm and frontier-based exploration algorithm. Furthermore, robots ...
Midpoint ratings on personal constructs : constriction or the middle way?
(2010)
Midpoint ratings of elements on personal constructs have been given various interpretations, and the placement of the ideal self at the midpoint of a construct has been viewed as violating Kelly's (1955) dichotomy and ...
Food and family practices : teenagers, eating and domestic life in differing socio-economic circumstances
(2010)
This paper draws on accounts from young teenagers and their parents in two linked qualitative studies of families living in Scotland in differing socio-economic circumstances. We compare and contrast teenager experiences ...
