‘An Acceptable Level of Violence’ Community Response to Crime: Northern Ireland and South Africa

Knox, Colin; Monaghan, Rachel (The Journal of Conflict Studies, 2001)

This paper, drawing on focus group interview material, will therefore examine ways in which the communities in Northern Ireland and South Africa have responded to crime both during the conflict and thereafter. If the raison ...
Establishing Research Legitimacy in the Contested Political Ground of Contemporary Northern Ireland

Knox, Colin (Qualitative Research, 2001)

Despite the plethora of literature on the macro politics of Northern Ireland, there is a dearth of material on grassroots activity, in particular the dynamic between communities and paramilitary groups which enforce ‘law ...
A Penalty Method for Approximations of the Stationary Power-Law Stokes Problem

Lefton, Lew; Wei, Dongming (Electronic journal of differential equations, 2001)

We study approximations of the steady state Stokes problem governed by the power-law model for viscous incompressible non-Newtonian flow using the penalty formulation. We establish convergence and find error estimates.
Study of the transient temperature profiles induced by changes of the welding parameters during aluminium two plate arc butt-welding

Urthaler, Yetzirah; Viggiani, Pedro; Payares, Carolina; Rojas-Solorzano, L. (Universidad Simón Bolívar Departamento de Mecánica (*) Departamento de Conversión de Energía, 2001)

The numerical study and calculation of transient temperatures developing during the arc-welding process of 6063 T5 aluminum plates is presented. The mathematical model is based on the differential energy conservation ...
Two-fluid Mixing Enhancement by Using a Static Turbulence Generator

Ortega, P.; McGrath, G.; Rojas-Solorzano, L. (SPE International Thermal Operations and Heavy Oil Symposuim, Porlamar, Venezuela, 12–17 March 2001., 2001-03-12)

The numerical simulation of a static T-type mixer for turbulent mixing of miscible liquids is reported. The simulation was carried out using CFX, a commercial computational fluid dynamic simulator. The effect of mixing ...
‘See no evil, hear no evil’: Insidious Paramilitary Violence in Northern Ireland

Knox, Colin (British Journal of Criminology, 2002)

Northern Ireland has been variously described as having an ‘imperfect peace’ in which ‘acceptable levels of violence’ persist. Despite the endorsement of the main political parties to the principles of ‘democracy and ...
Characterization of Legumain

Schwarz, Gerold; Brandenburg, Jens; Reich, Michael; Burster, Timo; Driessen, Christoph; Kalbacher, Hubert (Biological Chemistry, 2002-11)

The mammalian legumain, also called asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP), is critically involved in the processing of bacterial antigens for MHC class II presentation. In order to investigate the substrate specificity of ...
Variational calculations of excited states with zero total angular momentum vibrational spectrum of H2 without use of the Born–Oppenheimer approximation

Bubin, Sergiy; Adamowicz, Ludwik (2003)

Very accurate, rigorous and fully variational, all-particle, non-Born–Oppenheimer calculations of the vibrational spectrum of the H2 molecule have been performed. Very high accuracy has been achieved by expanding the wave ...
Violence in a Changing Political Context: Northern Ireland and South Africa

Knox, Colin; Monaghan, Rachel (2003)

Northern Ireland and South Africa are moving from conflict to post-conflict societies. Both countries have new political dispensations and seek to eschew the legacy of bitter and bloody violence. The history of the political ...
‘Joined-Up’ Government: An integrated response to communal violence in Northern Ireland?

Knox, Colin (Policy and Politics, 2003)

The growing recognition that social problems are multi-faceted and need to be tackled in a way which cut-across traditional departmental boundaries has heralded the advent of joined-up government. Yet this new emphasis ...
Democratic Renewal in Fragmental Communities: The Northern Ireland Case

Knox, Colin (Local Governance, 2003)

Northern Ireland is perhaps the locus extremis of fragmental communities in the United Kingdom. The ethno-national tensions and political violence that have ravaged the Province for over 30 years continue unabated at a ...
Railroad literature on suitable places : How the Japanese government railways forged an "old China" travel culture

Forêt, Philippe (Chronos Verlag, 2003)

This empirical study on advertising campaigns and the art of running trains in distant places finds its theoretical significance in a view of history where real and imagined geographies interact. The railroad companies of ...
Fear of Reprisal – Researching Intra-Communal Violence in Northern Ireland and South Africa

Knox, Colin; Monaghan, Rachel (2003)

Measuring the impact of violence is fraught with problems, not least because of the definitional problems around what constitutes violence and how this might be quantified. If one considers violence perpetrated by ...
Penalty finite element approximations of the stationary power- law Stokes problem

Lefton, Lew; Wei, Dongming (Journal of Numerical Mathematics, 2003)

Finite element approximations of the stationary power-law Stokes problem using penalty formulation are considered. A priori error estimates under appropriate smoothness assumptions on the solutions are established without ...
Non-Born–Oppenheimer calculations of atoms and molecules

Cafiero, Mauricio; Bubin, Sergiy; Adamowicz, Ludwik (2003)

We review a recent development in high-accuracy non-Born–Oppenheimer calculations of atomic and molecular systems in a basis of explicitly correlated Gaussian functions. Much of the recent progress in this area is due ...
New borate ester based polymer electrolyte for battery application

Kottegoda, I.R.M.; Bakenov, Zhumabay; Ikuta, H.; Uchimoto, Y.; Wakihara, M. (The Electrochemical Society, Inc., 2003-01)

Safety is an indispensable feature for a battery particularly in large scale applications. In this respect, gel electrolytes are more attractive due to less possibility of electrolyte leakage and safer if abused. ...
De la vertu au vice: l'espace des loisirs à Macao (1910-1930)

Forêt, Philippe (2003-05-16)

Le nom Macao (Aomen en chinois, Ou-mun en cantonais) proviendrait d’une corruption du nom du temple A-ma (Make miao en chinois, Ma-kok miu en cantonais) qui se situe à l’entrée (men, mun) du Port Intérieur. Le temple est ...
ANURIA SECONDARY TO HOT WEATHER-INDUCED HYPERURICAEMIA: DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Al-Tawheed, Adel R.; Al-Awadi, Khaleel A.; Kehinde, Elijah O.; Abdul-Halim, Hamdy; Al-Hunayan, Adel; Ali, Yousef; Mohammed, Akram H. (Annals of Saudi Medicine, 2003-09)

There is little information on the management of anuria secondary to severe volume depletion or as a rare manifestation of heat stroke in areas of the world with very hot summers. We present our experience with hot ...
Merger Review: How much of industry is affected in an international perspective?

Van Cayseele, Patrick; Konings, Jozef; De Loecker, Jan (Center for Economic Studies, 2003-12)

The ex ante merger control process that exists at the EC as well as in many of the constituting member states is a particular type of government intervention, namely one in the market for corporate control. As such, ...
Creative Destruction and Productivity Growth in an Emerging Economy Evidence from Slovenian Manufacturing

De Loecker, Jan; Konings, Jozef (LICOS Centre for Transition Economics, 2003-12)

In most transition countries the aggregate level evidence suggests that most industries are just destroying jobs, due to the legacy of communism where overmanning levels of employment were the norm. This paper sheds light ...
