Near-optimal service facility location in dynamic communication networks (2005)
Journal Article
Liotta, A., Ragusa, C., & Pavlou, G. (2005). Near-optimal service facility location in dynamic communication networks. IEEE Communications Letters, 9(9), 862-864. https://doi.org/10.1109/LCOMM.2005.1506728

Systems relying on increasingly large and dynamic communication networks must find effective ways to optimally localize service facilities. This can be achieved by efficiently partitioning the system and computing the partitions' centers, solving the...

Patient perspectives on multiple medications versus combined pills: a qualitative study (2005)
Journal Article
Williams, B., Shaw, A., Durrant, R., Crinson, I., Pagliari, C., & de Lusignan, S. (2005). Patient perspectives on multiple medications versus combined pills: a qualitative study. QJM : monthly journal of the Association of Physicians, 98(12), 885-893. https://doi.org/10.1093/qjmed/hci139

BACKGROUND: A growing number of patients are taking multiple medications. Unfortunately, adherence may fall as drug numbers and procedural complexity increase. While there are plausible theoretical reasons why combining pills might improve non-adher... Read More about Patient perspectives on multiple medications versus combined pills: a qualitative study.

Phenotype-environment matching in the shore crab (Carcinus maenas) (2005)
Journal Article
Todd, P. A., Briers, R. A., Ladle, R. J., & Middleton, F. (2006). Phenotype-environment matching in the shore crab (Carcinus maenas). Marine Biology, 148(6), 1357-1367. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00227-005-0159-2

The shore crab (Carcinus maenas) exhibits a range of carapace pattern polymorphisms, but little is known regarding their function or maintenance. If patterns represent some form of crypsis, then associations between carapace colouration and substrate... Read More about Phenotype-environment matching in the shore crab (Carcinus maenas).

Spatial patterns in pond invertebrate communities: separating environmental and distance effects (2005)
Journal Article
Briers, R. A., & Biggs, J. (2005). Spatial patterns in pond invertebrate communities: separating environmental and distance effects. Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 15(6), 549-557. doi:10.1002/aqc.742

1.The nature and extent of spatial pattern in communities has important implications for their dynamics and conservation. Previous studies of pond ecosystems, over relatively small spatial scales, have found little evidence of spatial autocorrelation...
