A Testing Theory for a Higher-Order Cryptographic Language
(2011)We study a higher-order concurrent language with cryptographic primitives, for which we develop a sound and complete, rstorder testing theory for the preservation of safety properties. Our theory is based on co-inductive ... -
Real Reward Testing for Probabilistic Processes
(2011)We introduce a notion of real reward testing for probabilistic processes by extending the traditional nonnegative reward testing with negative rewards. In this testing framework, the may and must preorders turn out to ... -
Cerebellar plasticity and the automation of first-order rules.
(2011)Theories of corticocerebellar function propose roles for the cerebellum in automating motor control, a process thought to depend on plasticity in cerebellar circuits that exchange information with the motor cortex. Little ... -
In-vivo generation of bone via endochondral ossification by in-vitro chondrogenic priming of adult human and rat mesenchymal stem cells
(2011)Background: Bone grafts are required to repair large bone defects after tumour resection or large trauma. The availability of patients?U? own bone tissue that can be used for these procedures is limited. Thus far bone ... -
Engineering carbon chains from mechanically stretched graphene-based materials
(American Physical Society, 2011)The electrical response of graphene-based materials can be tailored under mechanical stress. We report different switching behaviors that take place in mechanically deformed graphene nanoribbons prior to the breakage of ... -
Androgyny and (near) perfect marriage: A systems view of the genders of Leopold and Molly Bloom
(2010)The essay seeks to analyse the nature of the marital relations between Leopold and Molly Bloom from Joyce?s Ulysses in the light of the spouses? respective psychological genders. The analysis is underpinned by systems ... -
