The Temptation of Overgeneralizing Response-adaptive Randomization.
Dear Editor – We read with interest the recent article by Proschan and Evans [1] on the use of response-adaptive randomization (RAR) and its potential problems; however, these problems are neither new nor applicable in general...

Atlantic port cities were sites of commercial, consumer, and industrious revolutions in the eighteenth century. This essay argues that accounts of the Atlantic consumer and industrious revolutions need to include African port...
Mass bounds in a model with a triplet Higgs
We perform an analysis of the Renormalization Group evolution of the couplings in
an extension to the Standard Model which contains a real triplet in the Higgs sector.
Insisting that the model remain valid up to 1 TeV allow us...

Global competences and 21st century higher education – And why they matter
This paper brings issues around forecasting and change to the fore to stimulate a conversation around three related questions: How do we understand the challenges of this global era? What might be the role of higher...

Using flow technologies to direct the synthesis and assembly of materials in solution
K. Robertson
Jan 05, 2017
In the pursuit of materials with structure-related function, directing the assembly of materials is paramount. The resultant structure can be controlled by ordering of reactants, spatial confinement and control over the...
Can the two-time interpretation of quantum mechanics solve the measurement problem?
K Robertson
Mar 08, 2017
Over many years, Aharonov and co-authors have proposed a new interpretation of quantum mechanics: the two-time interpretation. This interpretation assigns two wavefunctions to a system, one of which propagates forwards in time...
Identification of novel modifiers of Aβ toxicity by transcriptomic analysis in the fruitfly.

The strongest risk factor for developing Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is age. Here, we study the relationship between ageing and AD using a systems biology approach that employs a Drosophila (fruitfly) model of AD in which the flies...

Psychological science is increasingly influencing public policy. Behavioral public policy (BPP) was a milestone in this regard because it influenced many areas of policy in a general way. Well-being public policy (WPP) is...
Colonising the future
SL Robertson
Jul 10, 2017
This paper explores a less well-examined aspect of time in relation to higher education and the academy; that of ‘time-future’. The paper takes the case of education trade strategies being pursued by governments and allied...
Conditionally unbiased estimation in the normal setting with unknown variances.
To efficiently and completely correct for selection bias in adaptive two-stage trials, uniformly minimum variance conditionally unbiased estimators (UMVCUEs) have been derived for trial designs with normally distributed data....
Pelvic orientation for total hip arthroplasty in lateral decubitus
Alice Sykes, Janet Hill, John Orr, Harinderjit Gill, Jose Salazar, Lee Humphreys, David Beverland
May 16, 2016
Introduction During total hip arthroplasty, accurately predicting acetabular cup orientation remains a key challenge, in great part because of uncertainty about pelvic orientation. This pilot study aimed to develop and validate...

Addressing Sustainability of Sanitation Systems
Recently, a technical draft of the international standard ISO/DIS 30500 for non-sewered sanitation systems has been developed (publication expected for 2018). Its innovative feature is the inclusion of sustainable aspects. This...

Psychology is not alone in its struggle with conceptualizing the dynamic relationship between space and individual or collective identity. This general epistemological issue haunts biology where it has a specific focus in...
Small phase pattern 2D beam steering and a single LCOS design of 40 1 × 12 stacked wavelength selective switches
Two-dimensional beam steering by small, square, phase patterns as small as 50 × 50 pixels on a phase-only liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) device is experimentally verified as suitable for the application of wavelength selective...
‘To be is to respond’
RJE Higham
Mar 28, 2017
Dewey’s pragmatism rejected ‘truth’ as indicative of an underlying reality, instead ascribing it to valuable connections between aims and ends. His argument mirrors Bishop Berkeley’s Idealism, summarised as ‘esse est percepi’...
Making education markets through global trade agreements
SL Robertson
Aug 11, 2017
This paper uses the global trade negotiations and agreements, which include education sectors as potentially tradable services, to show the complex processes at work in making global education markets. Drawing on the work of...
