Entanglement and Non-Markovianity of Quantum Evolutions
(2010)We address the problem of quantifying the non-Markovian character of quantum time evolutions of general systems in contact with an environment. We introduce two different measures of non-Markovianity that exploit the ... -
Fully-balanced structures of continuous-time MLF OTA-C filters
(1998)This paper presents general fully balanced structures of continuous-time OTA-C filters based on multiple loop feedback (MLF) configurations. Both simple all pole and complex arbitrary zero fully balanced implementations ... -
Multi-task learning and transfer: The effect of algorithm representation
(ICML, 2005)Exploring multiple classes of learning algorithms for those algorithms which perform best in multiple tasks is a complex problem of multiple-criteria optimisation. We use a genetic algorithm to locate sets of models which ... -
Checking chess checks with chunks: A model of simple check detection
(Cognitive Science Society, 2009)The procedure by which humans identify checks in check positions is not well understood. We report here our experience in modelling this process with CHREST, a general-purpose cognitive model that has previously successfully ... -
Building models of learning and expertise with CHREST
(Cognitive Science Society, 2010)CHREST (Chunk Hierarchy and REtrieval STructures) is a complete computational architecture implementing processes of learning and perception. CHREST models have successfully simulated human data in a variety of domains, ... -
The Illustrated Wittgenstein: A Study of the Diagrams in Wittgenstein's Published Works .
(University of Reading, 1994)This study compares the reproduction of Wittgenstein's diagrams in his published works in English and in German, with their sources in his manuscripts and typescripts. To facilitate this comparison, the relationship of ... -
Proof-of-Concept Testing of a Sustained Vortex-Flow Configuration for Hybrid Rocket Motors
(2010)One of the drawbacks of hybrid rocket motors is the limited regression rate of the fuel grain, which impacts on the scalablility of the type. A number of methods of increasing this have been proposed and successfully tested, ... -

(2010)Objective: To write a narrative review of the role of primary care physicians in the long-term care of people with dementia living at home, with a focus on psychosocial interventions, the provision of information and carer ... -
Spectropolarimetric evidence for a kicked supermassive black hole in the quasar E1821+643
(2010)We report spectropolarimetric observations of the quasar E1821+643 (z = 0.297), which suggest that it may be an example of gravitational recoil due to anisotropic emission of gravitational waves following the merger of a ... -
Ghosts and sparse properties : why physicalists have more to fear from ghosts than zombies
(2010)Zombies are bodies without minds: creatures that are physically identical to actual human beings, but which have no conscious experience. Much of the consciousness literature concerns how threatening philosophical reflection ... -
