Application of the Miller cycle to reduce NOx emissions from petrol engines (2008)
Journal Article
Wang, Y., Lin, L., Zeng, S., Huang, J., Roskilly, A. P., He, Y., Huang, X., & Li, S. (2008). Application of the Miller cycle to reduce NOx emissions from petrol engines. Applied Energy, 85(6), 463-474. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2007.10.009

A conceptual analysis of the mechanism of the Miller cycle for reducing NOx emissions is presented. Two versions of selected Miller cycle (1 and 2) were designed and realized on a Rover “K” series 16-valve twin-camshaft petrol engine. The test result...

From an Archaeology of Iconoclasm to an Anthropology of the Body : Images, Punishment and Personhood in England, 1500-1660 (2008)
Journal Article
Graves, C. (2008). From an Archaeology of Iconoclasm to an Anthropology of the Body : Images, Punishment and Personhood in England, 1500-1660. Current Anthropology, 49(1), 35-57. https://doi.org/10.1086/523674

This paper argues that the iconoclastic attack on images in England in the 16th and 17th century was not random destruction. Particular parts of the body, namely the head and hands, were the focus of attack. These were the same foci upon which capita...

Complexity of clausal constraints over chains (2008)
Journal Article
Creignou, N., Hermann, M., Krokhin, A., & Salzer, G. (2008). Complexity of clausal constraints over chains. Theory of Computing Systems, 42(2), 239-255. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00224-007-9003-z

We investigate the complexity of the satisfiability problem of constraints over finite totally ordered domains. In our context, a clausal constraint is a disjunction of inequalities of the form x≥d and x≤d. We classify the complexity of constraints b...

A new algorithm for on-line coloring bipartite graphs (2008)
Journal Article
Broersma, H., Capponi, A., & Paulusma, D. (2008). A new algorithm for on-line coloring bipartite graphs. SIAM Journal on Discrete Mathematics, 22(1), 72-91. https://doi.org/10.1137/060668675

We first show that for any bipartite graph $H$ with at most five vertices there exists an on-line competitive algorithm for the class of $H$-free bipartite graphs. We then analyze the performance of an on-line algorithm for coloring bipartite graphs... Read More about A new algorithm for on-line coloring bipartite graphs.

Because a callous use of others in many short-term relationships is one criterion for diagnosing psychopathy in adults, one would expect adolescents who are high on psychopathic personality traits to have unstable, conflict-ridden peer relationships....
