International oligopoly and stock market linkages: The case of global airlines (2008)
Journal Article
Gong, S. X. H., Firth, M., & Cullinane, K. (2008). International oligopoly and stock market linkages: The case of global airlines. Transportation Research Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review, 44, 621-636. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.tre.2007.05.008

This paper investigates the effect of oligopolistic rivalry on spillovers in financial reporting. Using an event study methodology and focusing on global airlines, we find that firms experience discernable abnormal stock price reactions at the announ...

Computational study of an integrated collector storage solar water heater. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Garnier, C., Currie, J., Muneer, T., & Girard, A. (2008). Computational study of an integrated collector storage solar water heater.

A simple low cost integrated collector storage solar water heater (ICS-SWH) which has the potential to substantially reduce domestic energy use was proposed for simulation. The
system takes the form of a rectangular-shape incorporating the solar col... Read More about Computational study of an integrated collector storage solar water heater..

The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification (2008)
Journal Article
Field, D., Garrity, G., Gray, T., Morrison, N., Selengut, J., Sterk, P., …Wipat, A. (2008). The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification. Nature Biotechnology, 26, 541-547. https://doi.org/10.1038/nbt1360

With the quantity of genomic data increasing at an exponential rate, it is imperative that these data be captured electronically, in a standard format. Standardization activities must proceed within the auspices of open-access and international worki... Read More about The minimum information about a genome sequence (MIGS) specification.

Synthesis of sugar-based chelating surfactants for metal removal from wastewater (2008)
Journal Article
Ferlin, N., Grassi, D., Ojeda, C., Castro, M. J., Grand, E., Fernández Cirelli, A., & Kovensky, J. (2008). Synthesis of sugar-based chelating surfactants for metal removal from wastewater. Carbohydrate Research, 343, 839-847. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carres.2008.01.015

Four chelating surfactants were synthesized in a few steps from octyl d-glucosides. Their main interfacial properties were determined, and their flotation properties were evaluated on a laboratory scale using Fe(III) as a model contaminant metal. The...

Microwave-assisted synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucopyranosides (2008)
Journal Article
Ferlin, N., Duchet, L., Kovensky, J., & Grand, E. (2008). Microwave-assisted synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucopyranosides. Carbohydrate Research, 343, 2819-2821. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.carres.2008.05.013

Long-chain (C6 to C16) alkyl glucopyranosides have been synthesized using microwave irradiation. Yields and anomeric ratios can be controlled under precise and short irradiation times (few min). Comparison with classical heating showed a better effic... Read More about Microwave-assisted synthesis of long-chain alkyl glucopyranosides.

MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fan, L., Taylor, H., & Trinder, P. (2008). MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation.

Efficient application-level multicast (ALM) is an important research area supporting applications such as P2P file sharing, multi-player online games, and multimedia streaming. Although some applications only require a best-effort service, others hav... Read More about MAMBO: Membership-Aware Multicast with Bushiness Optimisation..

Computing the State of Specknets: further analysis of an innate immune-inspired model. (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Davoudani, D., Hart, E., & Paechter, B. (2008, August). Computing the State of Specknets: further analysis of an innate immune-inspired model

Specknets consist of hundreds of miniature devices, which are each capable of processing data and communicating wirelessly across short distances. Such networks, with their great complexity, pose considerable challenges for engineers due to the unrel...

Using eye-tracking to evaluate label alignment in online forms (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Das, S., McEwan, T., & Douglas, D. (2008, October). Using eye-tracking to evaluate label alignment in online forms

We analyse the usability of different label positions in online forms, using an eye-tracking system, with a small sample of UK university-educated users. The results unexpectedly contradict Wroblewski, and recommend right-aligned labels, at least in... Read More about Using eye-tracking to evaluate label alignment in online forms.
