A comparison of the occurence of dry eye between arthritic and non-arthritic subjects (2013)
Journal Article

Various studies have reported that dry eye is a common occurrence in patients with rheumatoid arthritis but not much has been done to determine its occurrence in other forms of arthritis. This study was designed to compare the symptoms of dry eye, te... Read More about A comparison of the occurence of dry eye between arthritic and non-arthritic subjects.

Using adult learning principles as a framework for learning ICT skills needed for research projects (2013)
Journal Article

Executive Summary Students in higher institutions need to carry out research projects. The focus of this paper explores a model to help students learn ICT skills needed for research projects.

Faster query execution for partitioned RDF data (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This work demonstrates use of Materialized Views to enhance query performance for partitioned RDF data. Given a query, our system determines which views or combinations thereof can be used to answer it. Break- even analysis for the proposed system ha...

Related-key impossible differential cryptanalysis of full-round HIGHT (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The HIGHT algorithm is a 64-bit block cipher with 128-bit key length, at CHES'06 as a lightweight cryptographic algorithm. In this paper, a new related-key impossible differential attack on the full-round algorithm is introduced. Our cryptanalysis re...

The rule of law in the modern European context: A critical note (2013)
Journal Article

The Rule of Law as a concept in contemporary Europe is not one which has the exact same connotations as the connotations which the concept used to have decades ago. It grew to become a significantly wider concept than traditionally perceived. Its val... Read More about The rule of law in the modern European context: A critical note.

Time for a Pan-Asian court of human rights? (2013)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

The contribution examines the theoretical possibility and the practical feasibility of a regional human rights judicial forum for the whole of Asia. Whilst limited parts of Asia operate under regional charters such as the European Convention on Huma... Read More about Time for a Pan-Asian court of human rights?.

Conservation of Mesoamerican Amphibians and Reptiles (2013)
Journal Article

Mesoamerica (or Middle America) is one of the world’s major herpetofauna hotspots with over 1,900 species of which about 1,000 are endemic. It is a hugely complicated region with megadiverse habitats and complex conservation conundrums. Conservation... Read More about Conservation of Mesoamerican Amphibians and Reptiles.

Perceptual learning with complex visual stimuli is based on location, rather than content, of discriminating features (2013)
Journal Article

Exposure to complex checkerboards (comprising a common background, e.g., X, with unique features,e.g., A-D, that are placed in particular locations on the background) improves discrimination between them (perceptual learning). Such stimuli have been... Read More about Perceptual learning with complex visual stimuli is based on location, rather than content, of discriminating features.
