Party Competition in the Spanish Regions (2009)
Party politics in multi-level systems has become a growing research field in political science (see Hough et al, 2003; Hough and Jeffery, 2006), but has rarely focused on comparing structures of...
Multi-level Coalitions and Statute Reform in Spain (2009)
Between 2003 and 2007 six regional statutes of autonomy were reformed in Spain. These are Organic Laws that form part of the 'constitutional bloc' in Spain and determine the characteristics of state...

Using data from of 60 sections of a first finance course, attributes such as schedule timing, size, duration style, and instructor status (adjunct or full-time) are examined for impact on student...
Area Optimisation for Field-Programmable Gate Arrays in SystemC Hardware Compilation (2008)
Johan Ditmar, Steve McKeever, Alex Wilson
This paper discusses a pair of synthesis algorithms that optimise a SystemC design to minimise area when targeting FPGAs. Each can significantly improve the synthesis of a high-level language...

Feedback cooling of a single trapped ion (2005)
Bushev, Pavel, Rotter, Daniel, Wilson, Alex, Dubin, Francois, Becher, Christoph, Eschner, Juergen, ...
Based on a real-time measurement of the motion of a single ion in a Paul trap, we demonstrate its electro-mechanical cooling below the Doppler limit by homodyne feedback control (cold damping). The...
Forces between a single atom and its distant mirror image (2003)
Bushev, Pavel, Wilson, Alex, Eschner, Juergen, Raab, Christoph, Schmidt-Kaler, Ferdinand, Becher, Christoph, ...
An excited-state atom whose emitted light is back-reflected by a distant mirror can experience trapping forces, because the presence of the mirror modifies both the electromagnetic vacuum field and...
