Plant disease risk and grower–agronomist perceptions and relationships: An analysis of the UK potato and wheat sectors (2012)
Journal Article

Towards improving numerical weather predictions by evolutionary computing techniques (2012)
Journal Article
Senar, M. A., Cortés, A., & Ihshaish, H. (2012). Towards improving numerical weather predictions by evolutionary computing techniques. Procedia Computer Science, 9, 1056-1063. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.procs.2012.04.114

Weather forecasting is complex and not always accurate, moreover, it is generally defined by its very nature as a process that has to deal with uncertainties. In a previous work, a new weather prediction scheme was presented, which uses evolutionary... Read More about Towards improving numerical weather predictions by evolutionary computing techniques.

Masculinity, homosexuality and the defence of Islam: A case study of Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s media fatwa (2012)
Journal Article
Hunt, S. (2012). Masculinity, homosexuality and the defence of Islam: A case study of Yusuf al-Qaradawi’s media fatwa. Religion and Gender, 2(2), 254-279

This paper analyses how Islamic Neo-traditionalists perceive gender constructs through a distorted view of religious texts and cultural conventions. It explores the ramifications of these constructs for attitudes towards same-sex orientations and rel...
