The neoliberal convergence of European industrial relations: economic inevitability or result of European political choices? by Jefferys, Steve

“…Nevertheless, they make an important contribution to understanding how far Western Europe’s capitalist classes and managers have, from the 1980s to the 2000s, acted in new political and industrial ways as a result of having embraced, or been taken over by, a ‘mass movement’ of managerialism in the US and Western Europe closely allied to the new free-market political right, and the much higher levels of interpenetration of US and Western European capital.…”

Accountability: setting the standards for policing in Northern Ireland by Best, Clifford, G.

“…Following a concise summary on the development of policing in Ireland and NI, this thesis will consider whether police reform and legitimacy has been enhanced by the accountability architecture which emerged from the Report of the Independent Commission on Policing for Northern Ireland. …”

Identifying individuals in video by combining 'generative' and discriminative head models by Everingham, M, Zisserman, A

“…The objective of this work is automatic detection and identification of individuals in unconstrained consumer video, given a minimal number of labelled faces as training data. Whilst much work has been done on (mainly frontal) face detection and recognition, current methods are not sufficiently robust to deal with the wide variations in pose and appearance found in such video. …”

Extending material cognition to primate tool use by Mosley, H, Haslam, M

“…The concept of extended or distributed cognition has been present in archaeology for some time, yet despite its inclusion of non-human hominin ancestors, it has remained distinctly anthropocentric in nature. …”

Single view reconstruction of curved surfaces by Prasad, M, Zisserman, A, Fitzgibbon, A

“…Recent advances in single-view reconstruction (SVR) have been in modelling power (curved 2.5D surfaces) and automation (automatic photo pop-up). …”

The Hierarchy of Victimhood: Prisons and States’ Responsibility to Protect Every Victim of Modern Slavery and Human Trafficking by Jovanović, M, Topp, V, Fluhr, F

“…In an environment where being a victim of a crime and human rights violation both matter less than the State’s interest in immigration and crime control, prisons will struggle to deliver on their commitment and international obligation to protect those inmates who have been or are at risk of being exploited.…”

Well-posedness and stability of a stochastic neural field in the form of a partial differential equation by Carrillo de la Plata, JA, Roux, P, Solem, S

“…The system was rigorously derived from a stochastic particle system and its noisedriven pattern-forming bifurcations have been characterised. However, due to its nonlinear and non-local nature, standard well-posedness theory for smooth time-dependent solutions of parabolic equations does not apply. …”

Automatic retrieval of visual continuity errors in movies by Pickup, L, Zisserman, A

“…We discover mistakes that have previously been missed in the listings for these movies on such websites as moviemistakes.com.…”

Safe POMDP online planning among dynamic agents via adaptive conformal prediction by Sheng, S, Yu, P, Parker, D, Kwiatkowska, M, Feng, L

“…Through experimental evaluation in various dynamic environments using real-world pedestrian trajectory data, the proposed approach has been shown to effectively maintain probabilistic safety guarantees while accommodating up to hundreds of dynamic agents.…”

Piecewise damage model for SiC/SiC composites with multilevel experimental validation by Shi, D, Wang, Z, Marrow, J, Liu, C, Wan, F, Yang, X

“…Using multiscale and multidimensional data from experiments and advanced microscopic characterisation, a piecewise damage model for SiC/SiC composite structures has been proposed. First, the geometric information of the microstructure was acquired using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray computed tomography (X-CT). …”

The political-economic risks of AI by Carvalho, J-P

Sacred rubble and humble shelters: German church building after the Second World War by Betts, PR

“…After the war, church-building resumed its leading historical role from before the Industrial Revolution as the avant-garde of innovative international architecture, although its comeback has been largely overlooked by architectural and cultural historians alike. …”

Stable transformation of pleomorphic bloodstream form Trypanosoma brucei by MacGregor, P, Rojas, F, Dean, S, Matthews, KR

“…However, most trypanosome studies are carried out on laboratory-adapted monomorphic cell lines, incapable of differentiating to stumpy-forms or completing the life cycle through the tsetse fly. Partly, this has been due to the inefficiency of transfection of pleomorphic strains which have retained the ability to generate stumpy-forms. …”

Identification of the meiotic life cycle stage of Trypanosoma brucei in the tsetse fly by Peacock, L, Ferris, V, Sharma, R, Sunter, J, Bailey, M, Carrington, M, Gibson, W

“…Genetic exchange occurs in the parasitic protists Trypanosoma brucei, T. cruzi, and Leishmania major, but the precise cellular mechanisms are unknown, because the process has not been observed directly. Here we exploit the identification of homologs of meiotic genes in the T. brucei genome and demonstrate that three functionally distinct, meiosis-specific proteins are expressed in the nucleus of a single specific cell type, defining a previously undescribed developmental stage occurring within the tsetse fly salivary gland. …”

J-integral analysis: an EDXD and DIC comparative study for a fatigue crack by Koko, A, Earp, P, Wigger, T, Tong, J, Marrow, TJ

“…Synchrotron Energy Dispersive X-ray Diffraction (EDXD) and Digital Image Correlation (DIC) have been applied to map simultaneously the 2D elastic strain and displacement fields of a propagating fatigue crack in the HAZ of a welded Cr2Ni4MoV bainitic steel. …”
