Re-articulating the creative hub concept as a model for business support in the local creative economy: the case of Mare Street in Hackney (2015)
Working Paper
Virani, T., & Malem, W. Re-articulating the creative hub concept as a model for business support in the local creative economy: the case of Mare Street in Hackney

The literature on ‘creative hubs’is scarce. Although the term is currently in wide use in policy circles, its actual meaning is not always clear. Accordingly, this paper aims to clarify what is meant bythe ‘creative hub’through the use of ethnographi...

Can indeterminacy and self-fulfilling expectations help explain international business cycles? A preliminary investigation (2015)
Working Paper
McKnight, S., & Povoledo, L. Can indeterminacy and self-fulfilling expectations help explain international business cycles? A preliminary investigation

We introduce equilibrium indeterminacy into a two-country incomplete asset model with imperfect competition and analyze whether self-fulfilling, belief-driven fluctuations (i.e., sunspot shocks) can help resolve the major puzzles of international bus...

Do voucher schemes matter in the long run? A brief comparison of Nesta's Creative Credits and Creativeworks London's Creative Voucher schemes (2015)
Working Paper
Virani, T. Do voucher schemes matter in the long run? A brief comparison of Nesta's Creative Credits and Creativeworks London's Creative Voucher schemes

In policy circles, the common consensus about voucher schemes aimed at the creative sector is that they have short term but no real lasting impact. This short position paper queries this notion. This is mainly because these schemes are notoriously va... Read More about Do voucher schemes matter in the long run? A brief comparison of Nesta's Creative Credits and Creativeworks London's Creative Voucher schemes.

Mechanisms of collaboration between creative small, medium and micro-sized enterprises and higher education institutions: reflections on the Creativeworks London Creative Voucher Scheme (2014)
Working Paper
Virani, T. Mechanisms of collaboration between creative small, medium and micro-sized enterprises and higher education institutions: reflections on the Creativeworks London Creative Voucher Scheme

According to the literature, university-industry collaborations are far from straightforward. This paper adds to this work by looking at how the process of collaboration has fared between higher education institutions (HEIs) and small, medium and m...

Filamentary extension of the mem-con theory of memristance and its application to titanium dioxide sol-gel memristors (2012)
Working Paper
Gale, E., de Lacy Costello, B., & Adamatzky, A. Filamentary extension of the mem-con theory of memristance and its application to titanium dioxide sol-gel memristors. Bristol

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...

The effect of electrode size on memristor properties: an experimental and theoretical study (2012)
Working Paper
Gale, E., de Lacy Costello, B., & Adamatzky, A. The effect of electrode size on memristor properties: an experimental and theoretical study. Bristol

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.
