This article presents the method of the processing of mass spectrometry data. Mass spectra are modelled with Gaussian Mixture Models. Every peak of the spectrum is represented by a single Gaussian. Its parameters describe the location, height and width of the corresponding peak of the spectrum. An authorial version of the Expectation Maximisation Algorithm was used to perform all calculations. ...

In adults, facial identity is coded by opponent processes relative to an average face or norm, as evidenced by the face identity aftereffect: adapting to a face biases perception towards the opposite identity, so that a previously neutral face (e.g. the average) resembles the identity of the computationally opposite face. We investigated whether children as young as 8 use adaptive norm-based co...

A recently conducted piece of micro-level, interpretive IS action research has enabled the delivery of direct user benefits through the adoption of a methodological approach which focuses specifically on the interpretive generation of meaning by authorial individuals. Drawing on recent debates concerning knowledge and identity within social anthropology, IS and social psychology, this approach ...
