The question discussed in the two following experiments concerns the effect of facial expressions on face recognition. Famous and unknown faces with neutral or smiling expression were presented for different inspection durations (15 ms vs 1000 ms). Subjects had to categorize these faces as famous or unknown (Experiment 1), or estimate their degree of familiarity on a rating scale (Experiment 2)...

This article examines attitudes towards mainstream society among Caribbeans and South Asians in Britain. Conventional wisdom predicts that Caribbeans should be more likely than South Asians to have positive attitudes towards British society, in part because Caribbeans are more socially and culturally assimilated. In addition, much of the current debate around ethnic minority alienation in Brita...

In the face of ambiguity, decision-makers are either optimistic or pessimistic. We study the ...

EDI has been promoted as a technology which helps to reduce conflict and enhances collaboration and ‘partnership’ between trading organisations. Is this always the case? In what circumstances are organisations continuing to interact in adversarial ways, and for what reasons? To answer this question, we start by examining the development and application of an EDI network in the motor industry. w...

We introduce the OneClassMaxMinOver (OMMO) algorithm for the problem of one-class support vector classification. The algorithm is extremely simple and therefore a convenient choice for practitioners. We prove that in the hard-margin case the algorithm converges with O(1/ √ t) to the maximum margin solution of the support vector approach for one-class classification introduced by Schölkopf et al...
