Presentation / Conference Contribution
Victoria, M. (2010, March). Social Interaction in a Multicultural Group: How People from Different Cultural and Linguistic Background Negotiate Communication and Establish Relations. Paper presented at EPICS IV - 4th Symposium On Intercultural, Cognitive

There has been a wealth of studies that explore the interplay between culture and communication. However, many of these investigations tend to focus disproportionately on misunderstanding, communication breakdowns and failures. Indeed, it can be argu...

Dynamic capability building in the steel industry. (2010)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Pemberton, J., & Ludwig, G. (2010, March). Dynamic capability building in the steel industry. Paper presented at Strategic Management Society Conference

The existing body of knowledge within the Dynamic Capabilities View (DCV) assumes risk minimisation via establishment of extensive monitoring activities of external changes in combination with capability optimisation through renewal efforts. This pro... Read More about Dynamic capability building in the steel industry..

Reproductive control via eviction (but not the threat of eviction) in banded mongooses (2010)
Journal Article
Cant, M. A., Hodge, S. J., Bell, M. B. V., Gilchrist, J., & Nichols, H. J. (2010). Reproductive control via eviction (but not the threat of eviction) in banded mongooses. Proceedings of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 277, 2219-2226. https://doi.org/10.1098/rspb.2009.2097

Considerable research has focused on understanding variation in reproductive skew in cooperative animal societies, but the pace of theoretical development has far outstripped empirical testing of the models. One major class of model suggests that dom... Read More about Reproductive control via eviction (but not the threat of eviction) in banded mongooses.

A performance comparison of smart probabilistic broadcasting of ad hoc distance vector (AODV). (2010)
Journal Article
Yassein, M. B., Khalaf, M., & Al-Dubai, A. (2010). A performance comparison of smart probabilistic broadcasting of ad hoc distance vector (AODV). Journal of Supercomputing, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11227-010-0408-0

Broadcast is a common operation used in Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) for many services, such as, rout discovery and sending an information messages. The direct method to perform broadcast is simple flooding, which it can dramatically affect the...

Light-induced effects of a fluorescent voltage-sensitive dye on neuronal activity in the crab stomatogastric ganglion (2010)
Journal Article
Stein, W., & Andras, P. (2010). Light-induced effects of a fluorescent voltage-sensitive dye on neuronal activity in the crab stomatogastric ganglion. Journal of Neuroscience Methods, 188(2), 290-294. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jneumeth.2010.03.003

Optical imaging being one of the cutting-edge methods for the investigation of neural activity, it is very important to understand the mechanisms of how dye molecules work and the range of side effects that they may induce. In particular, it is very... Read More about Light-induced effects of a fluorescent voltage-sensitive dye on neuronal activity in the crab stomatogastric ganglion.

The efficiency analysis of container port production using DEA panel data approaches (2010)
Journal Article
Cullinane, K., & Wang, T. (2010). The efficiency analysis of container port production using DEA panel data approaches. OR Spectrum, 32(3), 717-738. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00291-010-0202-7

Applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to container port production have been largely restricted to standard DEA models using cross-sectional data. The efficiency results derived may be biased; for instance, as the result of random effects o... Read More about The efficiency analysis of container port production using DEA panel data approaches.
