Maritime policy in Scotland (2005)
Journal Article
Baird, A. J., & Baird, A. (2005). Maritime policy in Scotland. Maritime Policy and Management, 32(4), 383-401. https://doi.org/10.1080/03088830500300404

This paper begins by defining the meaning of the term `maritime policy'. Since devolution in the UK, the opening of the new Scottish parliament in 1998 and the creation of the Scottish Executive, little effort has been made to establish a distinct ma... Read More about Maritime policy in Scotland.

A plane-based broadcast algorithm for multicomputer networks (2005)

Maximising the performance of parallel systems requires matching message-passing algorithms and application characteristics with a suitable underling interconnection network. Broadcast algorithms for wormhole-switched meshes have been widely reported... Read More about A plane-based broadcast algorithm for multicomputer networks.

Parasitism of maternal investment selects for increased clutch size and brood reduction in a host (2005)
Journal Article
Cunningham, E. J., & Lewis, S. (2006). Parasitism of maternal investment selects for increased clutch size and brood reduction in a host. Behavioral ecology official journal of the International Society for Behavioral Ecology, 17(1), 126-131. https://doi.org/10.1093/beheco/arj006

The allocation of resources to young that will ultimately be left to die appears counterintuitive. Yet obligate brood reduction has evolved in a number of species, despite the waste of reproductive investment this may incur. Here we test whether broo...

A mixed Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing (GASA) algorithm is used for the placement of symmetrical FPGA. The prpoposed algortithm includes 2 stage processes. In the first stage process it optimizes placement solutions globally using GA. In t... Read More about FPGA placement using genetic algorithm with simulated annealing..

Design of Folded and Slotted Internal Antenna for 3G IMT-2000 Mobile Handset (2005)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
See, C. H., Abd-Alhameed, R., & Excell, P. S. (2005). Design of Folded and Slotted Internal Antenna for 3G IMT-2000 Mobile Handset.

A four-sided folded, slotted and shorted rectangular patch antenna for 3G mobile handsets is described. The antenna provides a 17.65% bandwidth at S&#x2081;&#x2081; < -10 dB from 1885 MHz to 2250 MHz, which completely encompasses the desired UMTS fre...

Why chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) mothers are less gregarious than nonmothers and males: the infant safety hypothesis (2005)
Journal Article
Otali, E., & Gilchrist, J. (2006). Why chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes schweinfurthii) mothers are less gregarious than nonmothers and males: the infant safety hypothesis. Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 59(4), 561-570. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00265-005-0081-0

Socialization of young is an important component of maternal care in social mammals. It is therefore perplexing that female chimpanzees with dependent offspring spend more time alone than females without dependent offspring, and than males. We propos...

We report on a wind-tunnel study with 1 : 75 scale model trees designed to examine the influence of canopy structure on the formation of turbulent gusts above forests. This was to test the hypothesis that more irregular canopy structures produce less... Read More about The stability of different silvicultural systems: a wind tunnel investigation..
