Sudden stratospheric warmings seen in MINOS deep underground muon data (2009)

Osprey, S., Barnett, J., Smith, J., Adamson, P., Andreopoulos, C., Arms, K. E., ...

The rate of high energy cosmic ray muons as measured underground is shown to be strongly correlated with upper-air temperatures during short-term atmospheric (10-day) events. The effects are seen by...

Search for Active Neutrino Disappearance Using Neutral-Current Interactions in the MINOS Long-Baseline Experiment (2008)

Adamson, P., Andreopoulos, C., Arms, K. E., Armstrong, R., Auty, D. J., Ayres, D. S., ...

We report the first detailed comparisons of the rates and spectra of neutral-current neutrino interactions at two widely separated locations. A depletion in the rate at the far site would indicate...

Measurement of neutrino oscillations with the MINOS detectors in the NuMI beam (2008)

Adamson, P., Andreopoulos, C., Arms, K. E., Armstrong, R., Auty, D. J., Ayres, D. S., ...

This Letter reports new results from the MINOS experiment based on a two-year exposure to muon neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam. Our data are consistent with quantum-mechanical oscillations of...

Qualitative Futures (2008)

C. J. Price, L. Travé-massuyès, R. Milne, L. Ironi, B. Bredeweg, M. H. Lee, ...

This paper considers where the QR field might be in twenty years time, outlining five areas where developments in model-based systems in general, and qualitative reasoning in particular might have a...

DOI: 10.1017/S000000000000000 Printed in the United Kingdom Qualitative Futures (2008)

C. J. Price, L. Travé-massuyès, R. Milne, L. Ironi, K. Forbus, B. Bredeweg, ...

This paper reviews the state of the art in model-based systems and qualitative reasoning, and considers where the field will be in twenty years time. It highlights six areas where developments in...

The effectiveness of nutrition interventions on dietary outcomes by relative social disadvantage : a systematic review (2008)

Oldroyd, J., Burns, C., Lucas, P., Haikerwal, A., Waters, E.

Objective: To determine whether nutrition interventions widen dietary inequalities across socioeconomic status groups.Design: Systematic review of interventions that aim to promote healthy...

Decision Network Semantics of Branching (2007)

K. Brown, P. Lucas, D. Fowler, Ken Brown, Peter Lucas, David Fowler

Branching Constraint Satisfaction Problems (BCSPs) have been introduced to model dynamic resource allocation subject to constraints and uncertainty. We give BCSPs a formal probability semantics by...

Pesticides, agriculture et environnement : réduire l'utilisation des pesticides et en limiter les impacts environnementaux. Synthèse du rapport de l'expertise (2005)

Aubertot, J.N., Barbier, J.M., Carpentier, A., Gril, J.J., Guichard, L., Lucas, P., ...

This collective expertise answers to a complex question of joinly French Minister of Agriculture and Fishery (MAP) et French Minister of Ecology and Sustainable Development (MEDD) and based on large...

Mentoring to reduce antisocial behaviour in childhood (2004)

Roberts, H., Liabo, K., Lucas, P., DuBois, D., Sheldon, T.A.

Mentoring of children and young people involved in antisocial behaviour has become a popular intervention. Research evidence to support the most commonly used programmes is lacking. Failed mentoring...

Quality checking of medical guidelines through logical abduction (2003)

P. Lucas, Peter Lucas

Formal methods have been used in the past for the verication of the correctness of formalised versions of medical guidelines. In this paper a second possible application of the use of formal methods...

Bayesian Network Modelling through Qualitative Patterns (2003)

P. Lucas, Peter Lucas

In designing a Bayesian network for an actual problem, developers need to bridge the gap between the mathematical abstractions o#ered by the Bayesian-network formalism and the features of the problem...

Study Contract: B4-3040/2001/325703/MAR/E.1 for the DG Environment Greenhouse gas Reduction Pathways: Executive summary (2003)

P. Criqui, A. Kitous, M. Berk, M. Den Elzen, B. Eickhout, P. Lucas, ...

(Note: this text is based on the executive summary of the Greenhouse gas Reduction Pathways Policymakers Summary) The long-term objective of the European Union climate policy is to prevent global...

Effects of Trifluoromethyl Ketones and Related Compounds on the EAG and Behavioural Responses to Pheromones in Male Moths (1997)

Renou, M., Lucas, P., Malo, E., Quero, C., Guerrero, A.

Trifluoromethyl ketones (TFMKs) and analogues affect pheromone detection and behaviour in male moths. 3-Octylthio-1, 1, 1-trifluoropropan-2-one (OTFP), one of the most effective antiesterase agents,...

Formal semantics of programming languages: VDL (1981)

P. Lucas

The history of ideas that led to the first formalization of the syntax and semantics of PLII is sketched. The definition method and notation are known as the Vienna Definition Language (VDL). The...

THE BÉNARD INSTABILITY IN A 3He/4He MIXTURE (1978)

Lee, G., Lucas, P., Tyler, A., Vavasour, E.

Experiments are described showing that a liquid 3He/4He mixture is a very versatile system for investigating the two-component Bénard instability, which itself provides a probe for measuring the...
