The effect of electrode size on memristor properties: an experimental and theoretical study (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

The width of the electrodes is not included in the current phenomenological models of memristance, but is included in the memory-conservation (mem-con) theory of memristance. An experimental study of the effect of changing the top electrode width was... Read More about The effect of electrode size on memristor properties: an experimental and theoretical study.

Filamentary extension of the mem-con theory of memristance and its application to titanium dioxide sol-gel memristors (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

Titanium dioxide sol-gel memristors have two different modes of operation, believed to be dependent on whether there is bulk memristance, i.e. memristance throughout the whole volume or filamentary memristance, i.e. memristance caused by the connecti...

De-marginalising the public in PPP projects through multi-stakeholders management (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

Various problems have been encountered on PPP initiatives around the world that have eventually led to PPP projects failures. Public opposition due to various factors has been reported as the main reason for failure in several instances. A significan...

The interpretation of the convention ground of `membership of a particular social group´ in the context of gender-related claims for asylum (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

Despite often making `conventional claims’ for asylum based on their political opinion, race, nationality or religion, many women also claim asylum in the United Kingdom (UK) on the basis that they fear persecution because of their gender. To be reco... Read More about The interpretation of the convention ground of `membership of a particular social group´ in the context of gender-related claims for asylum.

The use of financial information by capital providers (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

In this brief literature review paper, we explore four areas of the theoretical and empirical literature to discuss the use of financial information by capital providers: (i) Who are capital providers to companies, including all forms of debt, equity...

Tourist destination image: A case study of Benidorm, Spain (2012)
Preprint / Working Paper

This paper explores the destination image of Benidorm, Spain, as perceived by UK-based travel intermediaries and British tourists. Using a qualitative approach based on in-depth interviews and content analysis, the paper analyses the perceptions of t... Read More about Tourist destination image: A case study of Benidorm, Spain.

Aluminium electrodes effect the operation of titanium oxide sol-gel memristors (2011)
Preprint / Working Paper

By a comparison between memristors made with aluminium and gold electrodes, this letter demonstrates that aluminium electrodes are an essential component of the TiO$_2$ sol-gel flexible memristor . Both slow varying `analogue' and sudden switching `d... Read More about Aluminium electrodes effect the operation of titanium oxide sol-gel memristors.

The missing magnetic flux in the HP memristor found (2011)
Preprint / Working Paper

Ever since real-world two terminal memristor devices were created, detractors have derided them as not `true' Chua memristors because there is no magnetic flux in the system. This report shows that the flux is present and equal to the magnetic flux o... Read More about The missing magnetic flux in the HP memristor found.

‘Exit the system’: Crafting the place of protest camps between antagonism and exception (2011)
Preprint / Working Paper

Protest camps have been a prominent feature of social movement activity in the last three decades. More than a means to enable protest in remote locations, protest camps have often been constituted as autonomous and alternative worlds, set antagonist...

The strategic defence review 1998: Politics, power and influence in government decisions (2011)
Preprint / Working Paper

This study explores the UK Strategic Defence Review [SDR] 1997/98 from a strategy process perspective. The review in contrast to previous reviews was intended to be transparent and policy rather than resource led. The paper adopts a case study approa...

Exceptional action in policymaking: Employing network analysis to capture leadership and political entrepreneurship (2010)
Preprint / Working Paper

Actions of political agents on exceptional political outcomes cannot be validated on mere descriptions of decision making. Agency at the micro level needs to be integrated with the action of all agents at the macro level and contextualised to specif...

Exceptional agency: Political brokerage in EU lobbying (2010)
Preprint / Working Paper

Interest intermediation is integral to the consultation process of most EU legislative acts. On occasion, the agenda is not set by the most prominent political actors but by peripheral political entrepreneurs, exploiting opportunities to exercise br...

Determining military expenditures: Arms races and spill-over effects in cross-section and panel data (2009)
Preprint / Working Paper

This paper considers the determinants of military spending, building on an emerging literature that estimates military expenditure demand functions in cross-section and panel data, incorporating ‘arms-race’ type effects. It updates Dunne and Perlo-Fr... Read More about Determining military expenditures: Arms races and spill-over effects in cross-section and panel data.
