Copy-paste redeemed

Software evolves continuously. As software evolves, it's code bases require implementations of new features. These new functionalities are sometimes mere extensions of existing functionalities with minor changes. A commonly used method of extending an existing feature into a similar new feature is to copy the existing feature and modify it. This method of extending feature is called "Copy-paste-mo

Second-order constraints in dynamic invariant inference

Today's dynamic invariant detectors often produce invariants that are inconsistent with program semantics or programmer knowledge. We improve the consistency of dynamically discovered invariants by considering second-order constraints. These constraints encode knowledge about invariants, even when the invariants themselves are unknown. For instance, even though the invariants describing the behavi

Art, parasitic critique & hacking : Discussing international political design through Jacob Remin’s ‘Harvesting the Rare Earth’

How can we, as IR scholars, contribute to the daunting task of crafting a different world? In this paper, I suggest that we begin by looking towards art. Based on a reading of Jacob Remin’s art project ‘Harvesting the Rare Earth,’ I consider how the material imaginary presented in this particular work of art – bio-engineered worms that can extract rare earth minerals from e-waste – provides IR sch

Digital interfaces with distant suffering : Exploring the vibrant digital materiality of visual global politics

While the question of how images matters in world politics is a pertinent issue in contemporary International Relations (IR) theory, little attention has been paid to the digital interfaces on and through which images are disseminated. This article engages with recent literature on ‘new materialism,’ ‘postphenomenology’ and ‘interface theory’ as one way to bring to the fore the technological mater

The interplay between global accounting firms and national institutional contexts: The establishment of the Big Four in China from 1978 to 2007

This paper provides an analysis of the establishment of global accounting firms (the ‘Big Four’) in China between 1978 and 2007. Drawing on the extant literature on professional service firms, and the work of Faulconbridge and Muzio (2015), this paper examines how the Big Four entered China following the country’s ‘Reform and Opening-up’ and evolved from tentative representative offices to establi

Crystal graph attention networks for the prediction of stable materials

Graph neural networks for crystal structures typically use the atomic positions and the atomic species as input. Unfortunately, this information is not available when predicting new materials, for which the precise geometrical information is unknown. We circumvent this problem by replacing the precise bond distances with embeddings of graph distances. This allows our networks to be applied directl

Towards Fully Dynamic Surface Illumination in Real-Time Rendering using Acceleration Data Structures

The improvements in GPU hardware, including hardware-accelerated ray tracing, and the push for fully dynamic realistic-looking video games, has been driving more research in the use of ray tracing in real-time applications. The work described in this thesis covers multiple aspects such as optimisations, adapting existing offline methods to real-time constraints, and adding effects which were hard
