Prince of Wales Road, (2007)

Stephen Turner, Adam Back

In this paper we discuss our research into the use of optimistic methods for general purpose parallel computing. The optimistic execution of a program can allow code to be run in parallel which...

A Traced-based Performance Prediction Tool for Parallel Discrete Event Simulation (2007)

Zoltan Juhasz, Stephen Turner, Miklos Gerzson, Krisztian Kuntner

Developing parallel discrete event simulation programs is a complex task too often resulting in a disappointingly low runtime performance. Developers need performance prediction tools that are...

Prince of Wales Road, (2007)

Adam Back, Stephen Turner, Exeter Ex Pt

Optimistic execution techniques are widely used in the field of parallel discrete event simulation. In this paper we show that optimistic execution can also be used to parallelize program control...

Methodological problems in dementia research in primary care: a case study of a randomized controlled trial (2007)

The emerging UK national research network in neurodegenerative diseases and dementias aims to promote large-scale community-based studies of therapeutic interventions, based in primary care. However,...

Water Monitoring System for Speed and Eramosa Rivers (2007)

Larson, Blake, Mahalingam, Pirashennah, Turner, Stephen, Zhao, Zhen

The design that is being developed is a Water Monitoring System for Speed and Eramosa Rivers. This design consists of four sensors (turbidity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen and water level) which...

The State, Legal Reform and Decentralisation: Consequences for the Commons in Lesotho (2006)

Turner, Stephen

"The southern African commons are in decline, for two reasons. The first is privatisation. By legal or extra-legal means, individuals and households are taking direct control of parcels of land and...

Legal Dualism and Land Policy in Eastern and Southern Africa (2005)

Adams, Martin, Turner, Stephen

"This paper identifies tenure dualism as a central issue for countries that seek to modernise their land systems as they pursue sustainable development. Outlining the tenure experience of various...

B: Grid-Aware Large Scale Distributed Simulation of Agent-Based Systems (2005)

Yi Zhang, Georgios Theodoropoulos, Rob Minson, Stephen Turner, Wentong Cai, Yong Xie, ...

The development of many complex simulation applications requires collaborative effort from researchers with different domain knowledge and expertise, possibly at different locations. These simulation...

A Crisis in CBNRM? Affirming the Commons in Southern Africa (2004)

Turner, Stephen

"Is there a crisis in community-based natural resource management in southern Africa? Should social scientists care? Do they, or anyone else, need to affirm the commons in the region? If so, what...

Tamoxifen treatment failure in cancer and the nonlinear dynamics of TGFβ (2004)

Stephen Turner, Jonathan A. Sherratt, David Cameron

Th process of cancer invasion involves a complex interplay between cell--cell and cell--mediumadhl--med proteolytic enzyme secretion, cellbirth anddeath processes, random and directed motility, and...

General practitioners' knowledge, confidence and attitudes in the diagnosis and management of dementia (2004)

Turner, Stephen, Iliffe, Steve, Downs, Murna, Wilcock, Jane, Bryans, Michelle, Levin, Enid, ...

Objective: to measure general practitioners' knowledge of, confidence with and attitudes to the diagnosis and management of dementia in primary care. Setting: 20 general practices of varying size and...

Intercellular Adhesion and Cancer Invasion: A Discrete Simulation Using the Extended Potts model (2002)

Stephen Turner, Jonathan A. Sherratt

We develop a discrete model of malignant invasion using a thermodynamic argument. An extension of the Potts model is used to simulate a population of malignant cells experiencing interactions due to...

Social Fences, Mental Fences: Contrasting Approaches to Range Management in Southern Lesotho and the Eastern Cape (2000)

Ntshona, Zolile, Turner, Stephen

"Extensive livestock production remains a significant part of livelihoods in many parts of southern Africa where land is not held in freehold, including Lesotho and the former 'homeland' of Transkei,...

Land Tenure Reform and Rural Livelihoods in Southern Africa (1999)

Adams, Martin, Sibanda, Sipho, Turner, Stephen
