Dietary patterns in UK adolescents obtained from a dual-source FFQ and their associations with socio-economic position, nutrient intake and modes of eating (2013)
Journal Article

Objective To derive dietary patterns using principal components analysis from separate FFQ completed by mothers and their teenagers and to assess associations with nutrient intakes and sociodemographic variables. Design Two distinct FFQ were complete...

The Effects of Cross-border and Cross-industry Mergers and Acquisitions on Home-region and Global Multinational Enterprises (2013)
Journal Article

We examine the effects of international and product diversification through mergers and acquisitions (M&As) on the firm's risk-return profile. We identify the rewards from different types of M&As and investigate whether becoming a global firm is a va...

Implementing stochastic distribution within the utopia plane of primary producers using a hybrid genetic algorithm (2013)
Journal Article

The two key variables in estimating the water-energy dynamic, which determines proportions of plant strategy components on a macro basis, are temperature and precipitation. Additionally, use of high-resolution elevation data facilitates formation of...

Local semidefinite programming-based node localization system for wireless sensor network applications (2013)
Journal Article

Node localization has been identified as a fundamental and essential issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), which is able to determine nodes' locations in location-aware applications and provide different types of services based on the location in... Read More about Local semidefinite programming-based node localization system for wireless sensor network applications.

A priori reformulations for joint rolling-horizon scheduling of materials processing and lot-sizing problem (2013)
Journal Article

In many production processes, a key material is prepared and then transformed into different final products. The lot sizing decisions concern not only the production of final products, but also that of material preparation in order to take account of... Read More about A priori reformulations for joint rolling-horizon scheduling of materials processing and lot-sizing problem.

Border imaging revealing the gaps between the reality, the representation, and the experience of the border (2013)
Journal Article

Over the last several decades, the boundaries of languages and national and ethnic identities have been shifting, altering the notion of borders around the world. Borderland areas, such as East and West Europe, the US/Mexican frontera, and the Middle...

Using Embodied Multimodal Fusion to Perform Supportive and Instructive Robot Roles in Human-Robot Interaction (2013)
Journal Article

We present a robot that is working with humans on a common construction task. In this kind of interaction, it is important that the robot can perform different roles in order to realise an efficient collaboration. For this, we introduce embodied mult...

Crossing surfaces in search of the holy: Landscape and liminality in contemporary Christian pilgrimage (2013)
Journal Article

This paper examines the role of surfaces in pilgrimage practices and experiences in two denominational and cultural contexts and landscape settings for Christian pilgrimage: a week of Ecumenical pilgrimage walks in the Isle of Man and Orthodox pilgri...
