Which sex should care for offspring is a fundamental question in evolution. Invertebrates, and insects in particular, show some of the most diverse kinds of parental care of all animals, but to date there has been no broad comparative study of the ev...

CESL, cross-border transactions and domestic law : why a dual approach could work (although CESL might not) (2015)
Journal Article
Twigg-Flesner, C. (2015). CESL, cross-border transactions and domestic law : why a dual approach could work (although CESL might not). European review of private law = Revue européenne de droit privé = Europäische Zeitschrift für Privatrecht, 23(2),

This article explores the case for legislation that focuses specifically on cross-border consumer transactions in the internal market. It argues that the existence of two parallel regimes (domestic and cross-border) is a positive step because the cro...

A longitudinal interpretative phenomenological analysis of the process of kidney recipients' resolution of complex ambiguities within relationships with their living donors (2015)
Journal Article

Journal of health psychology, 21(11), 2600-2611. https://doi.org/10.1177/1359105315581070

Much previous research into living kidney donation has focused on the decision-making of the donor, despite evidence suggesting this may be a more psychologically challenging time for the recipient. This longitudinal study explores the experiences of...

Interaction between colloidal particles on an oil-water interface in dilute and dense phases (2015)
Journal Article

The interaction between micron-sized charged colloidal particles at polar/non-polar liquid interfaces remains surprisingly poorly understood for a relatively simple physical chemistry system. By measuring the pair correlation function g(r) for differ... Read More about Interaction between colloidal particles on an oil-water interface in dilute and dense phases.

Measuring competition using the Boone relative profit difference indicator (2015)
Journal Article
Duygun, M., Shaban, M., & Weyman-Jones, T. (2015). Measuring competition using the Boone relative profit difference indicator. Economics letters, 132, 117-120. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.econlet.2015.04.022

This paper suggests a method for implementing the theoretical relative profit difference test for intensity of competition due to Boone (2008). An empirical illustration is given for banking systems in emerging economies.
