Ecological determinants of Bemisia tabaci resistance to insecticides
(Springer Nature, 2010)
The supermassive black hole in M84 revisited
(2010)
The mass of the central black hole in the giant elliptical galaxy M84 has previously been measured by two groups using the same observations of emission-line gas with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the ...
Authoritarian vs authoritative teaching : Polya and Lakatos
(Springer Nature, 2010)
How can a teacher be authoritative without being authoritarian? Throughout his adult life, Lakatos campaigned against authoritarian teaching on both scientific and political grounds, without always disentangling the two. ...
Evaluating Three Approaches to Extracting Fault Data from Software Change Repositories
(Springer Nature, 2010)
Software products can only be improved if we have a good understanding of the faults they typically contain. Code faults are a significant source of software product problems which we currently do not understand sufficiently. ...
Compiler-support for robust multi-core computing
(Springer Nature, 2010)
Embedded computing is characterised by the limited availability of computing resources. Further, embedded systems are often used in safety-critical applications with real-time constraints. Thus, the software development ...
Phase transitions in least-effort communications
(2010)
We critically examine a model that attempts to explain the emergence of power laws (e.g., Zipf's law) in human language. The model is based on the principle of least effort in communications—specifically, the overall effort ...
Hamiltonian dynamics and the hidden symmetries of the AdS5 × S5 superstring
(2010-01)
We construct the Lax connection of the Green-Schwarz superstring in AdS5 × S5 within the Hamiltonian formalism and obtain precisely that used in 0810.4136. It differs in a crucial way from the Bena-Polchinski-Roiban ...
An analysis of the 'inconclusive' change report category in OSS assisted by a program slicing metric
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
In this paper, we investigate the Barcode open-source system (OSS) using one of Weiser's original slice-based metrics (Tightness) as a basis. In previous work, low numerical values of this slice-based metric were found to ...
CSP duality and trees of bounded pathwidth
(2010)
We study non-uniform constraint satisfaction problems definable in monadic Datalog stratified by the use of non-linearity. We show how such problems can be described in terms of homomorphism dualities involving trees of ...
Towards an Affect Space for robots to display emotional body language
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
In order for robots to be socially accepted and generate empathy it is necessary that they display rich emotions. For robots such as Nao, body language is the best medium available given their inability to convey facial ...
