Model selection of the effect of binary exposures over the life course (Epidemiology (2015) 26 (719-726)) (2015)
Journal Article

Epidemiologists are often interested in examining the effect on a later-life outcome of an exposure measured repeatedly over the life course. When different hypotheses for this effect are proposed by competing theories, it is important to identify th...

Damage evaluation of composite materials using acoustic emission features and Hilbert transform (2015)
Journal Article

© SAGE Publications. Acoustic emission (AE) has good potential to characterize failure mechanisms in laminated composite materials. One of the difficult issues using this method can be to establish a good correlation between occurred failure mechanis...

A complete characterisation of local existence for semilinear heat equations in Lebesgue spaces (2015)
Journal Article

We consider the scalar semilinear heat equation ut−Δu=f(u), where f:[0,∞)→[0,∞) is continuous and non-decreasing but need not be convex. We completely characterise those functions f for which the equation has a local solution bounded in Lq(Ω) for all...

A systematic typology for negative Poisson's ratio materials and the prediction of complete auxeticity in pure silica zeolite JST (2015)
Journal Article

© the Owner Societies 2015. Single crystals can commonly have negative Poisson's ratio in a few directions; however more generalised auxeticity is rarer. We propose a typology to distinguish auxetic materials. We characterise numerous single crystals...

How ants use quorum sensing to estimate the average quality of a fluctuating resource (2015)
Journal Article

© 2015, Nature Publishing Group. All rights reserved. We show that one of the advantages of quorum-based decision-making is an ability to estimate the average value of a resource that fluctuates in quality. By using a quorum threshold, namely the num...

Systematic analysis of video data from different human-robot interaction studies: A categorisation of social signals during error situations (2015)
Journal Article

Human–robot interactions are often affected by error situations that are caused by either the robot or the human. Therefore, robots would profit from the ability to recognize when error situations occur. We investigated the verbal and non-verbal soci...
