Efficient simulations of tubulin-driven axonal growth
This work concerns efficient and reliable numerical simulations of the dynamic behaviour of a moving-boundary model for tubulin-driven axonal growth. The model is nonlinear and consists of a coupled set of a partial differential equation (PDE) and two ordinary differential equations. The PDE is defined on a computational domain with a moving boundary, which is part of the solution. Numerical simul

Patient pathways into healthcare – the need for matching? Naples Forum on Service Proceeding 2015-06-09--12
Background: Due to a lack of coordination of care flow events and uncertain capacity coordination, long patient waiting times for patients arise, entailing a medical risk and contributing towards capacity being utilized less effectively. Healthcare services are often said to be crucial to coordinate in order to create equally good availability for care-seekers. Could healthcare matching become the
Tourism as connectedness
Late modernity in developed nations is characterized by changing social and psychological conditions, including individualization, processes of competition and loneliness. Remaining socially connected is becoming increasingly important. In this situation, travel provides meaning through physical encounters, inclusion in traveller Gemeinschaft based on shared norms, beliefs and interests, and socia

Media Influence, Ontological Transformation, and Social Change : Conceptual Overlaps Between Development Communication and Public Diplomacy
Development Communication and Public Diplomacy are twin products of U.S. political science and Cold War foreign policy. As contemporary diplomatic and development policies continue to converge, new ways of interpreting the relationship between the fields are necessary. This article analyses the 2 fields' emergence out of modernization policy and their reliance on a common conception of process: na
'Putting the GREAT back into Britain' : National identity, public-private collaboration & Transfers of brand equity in 2012's global promotional campaign
Research Highlights and Abstract: This article provides A 'zeitgeist' analysis of how the Coalition leadership tried to make the most of Britain's 'big year' of 2012, particularly in terms of the government's 'prosperity agenda'; Rich empirical data about high profile, government-wide trends in British promotional strategies and practices in the context of austerity; Analysis of the consequences o
Strategic Communication Campaigns at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office : Managing Mediatization During the Papal Visit, the Royal Wedding, and the Queen’s Visit to Ireland
This article investigates strategic communication in the context of the wider adoption of “campaign” approaches to public diplomacy at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office. The three case studies are the visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United Kingdom, the marriage of HRH Prince William to Kate Middleton, and Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to Ireland. The analytical framework seeks to situate strate
Articulating influence : Toward a research agenda for interpreting the evaluation of soft power, public diplomacy and nation brands
While the terms soft power, public diplomacy (PD) and nation brands have cemented their place in academic discourse during the early 21st century, the evaluation of these activities has not been given anywhere near the same level of attention. When describing how campaigns are evaluated, scholars tend to make assumptions based on the goals or outputs of an initiative rather than on the basis of re
Strategic Narratives in US Public Diplomacy : A Critical Geopolitics
The United States has historically held a unique, complex, and dynamic relationship to international geopolitical space. From the Monroe Doctrine to Cold War demarcations such as containment and détente, the United States has sought to define its geopolitical position in relation to other nations through narratives which have served as popular reference points for interpreting shifts in internatio
The mediatization of diplomacy
Practitioners and scholars are increasingly aware that an array of new actors, communication technologies, agendas and expectations are changing the institution of diplomacy. How diplomatic actors are known and experienced through their representation assumes an increasingly important, and uncertain, role. This article argues that these changes to the field should be considered in terms of the shi
A Hydrological Concept including Lateral Water Flow Compatible with the Biogeochemical Model ForSAFE
The study presents a hydrology concept developed to include lateral water flow in the biogeochemical model ForSAFE. The hydrology concept was evaluated against data collected at Svartberget in the Vindeln Research Forest in Northern Sweden. The results show that the new concept allows simulation of a saturated and an unsaturated zone in the soil as well as water flow that reaches the stream compar
Time, Space & German Soft Power : Toward a spatio-temporal turn in diplomatic studies?
Soft power is an increasingly important concept that attempts to explain how states and organisations shape shared interests across national borders and between political, economic, social and cultural spaces. However, many of the theoretical and methodological flaws identified by scholars engaging with the term are familiar to Media & Communications research, and particularly to the sub-field
Digital Diplomacy as Transmedia Engagement : Aligning Theories of Participatory Culture with International Advocacy Campaigns
Contemporary diplomacy is subject to the same pressures of globalization as many other communication industries. However, insights from different areas of Media and Communication Studies have only been partly explored in the context of diplomacy. This article applies theories of transmedia storytelling, transmedia engagement and surveillance upon a case study of the recent Campaign to End Sexual V
The 2012 Olympics and its Legacies : State, Citizen and Corporate Mobilizations of the Olympic Spirit
The notion of legacy was intrinsic to London’s 2012 bid, drawing upon the Olympic spirit in the form of personal challenges designed to motivate and mobilize individuals and communities in Britain and around the world. However, with the economic crisis and change in government in 2010, a distinct discourse of economic legacy also emerged. This increasingly saw the citizen mobilization associated w
Intersections Between Public Diplomacy & International Development : Case Studies in Converging Fields
This volume originated out of a discussion with the BritishCouncil a few years ago. In light of changes to their grant-in-aidin 2010, nearly two thirds of their governmental funding is nowcomprised of Official Development Assistance (oda). I asked whatdifference there was between the work that was conducted as culturalrelations and the work that was budgeted as aid. The answer wasthat the same pro
