The dangers of being trigger-happy
(2015-06-21)We examine the evidence offered for triggered star formation against the backdrop provided by recent numerical simulations of feedback from massive stars at or below giant molecular cloud sizescales. We compile a catalogue ... -
Dark and luminous matter in THINGS dwarf galaxies
(2011)We present mass models for the dark matter component of seven dwarf galaxies taken from "The H I Nearby Galaxy Survey" (THINGS) and compare these with those taken from numerical Λ cold dark matter (ΛCDM) simulations. The ... -
Dark matter in early-type spiral galaxies: the case of NGC 2179 and of NGC 2775
(1999)We present the stellar and ionized-gas velocity curves and velocity-dispersion profiles along the major axis for six early-type spiral galaxies. Two of these galaxies, namely NGC 2179 and NGC 2775, are particularly suited ... -
Dark matter in the dwarf galaxy II Zwicky 40
(1988-03-01)H I observations of the blue compact dwarf galaxy II Zwicky 40 at high angular resolution reveal the presence of two kinematical systems. The H I structure and kinematics can be understood in terms of two interacting H I ... -
The Dark Side of Emotional Labour: Machiavellianism and Emotion Management Strategies within a Cultural Context
(2018-05-10)The current literature presents inconsistencies with regard to the ‘Bright’ and ‘Dark Sides’ of emotional labour and related emotion management strategies: it indicates that the negative effect of emotional labour cannot ... -
The dark side of high performance human resource practices in the visitor economy
(2018-08-01)Enhancing employee performance and improving staff retention are key objectives within the visitor economy, especially among the subset of tourism and hospitality businesses where there is a strong emphasis on 'people ... -
Dark-matter-deficient dwarf galaxies form via tidal stripping of dark matter in interactions with massive companions
(2021-01-15)In the standard Lambda-CDM paradigm, dwarf galaxies are expected to be dark-matter-rich, as baryonic feedback is thought to quickly drive gas out of their shallow potential wells and quench star formation at early epochs. ... -
" Darkenes was before light":hierarchy and duality in The Taming of a Shrew

Darwin, Veblen and the problem of causality in economics.
(2001-01-01)This article discusses some of the ways in which Darwinism has influenced a small minority of economists. It is argued that Darwinism involves a philosophical as well as a theoretical doctrine. Despite claims to the contrary, ... -
Darwinian coevolution of organizations and the environment
(2010)Darwinism offers a highly abstract and general meta-theoretical framework to help understand both natural and social evolution. This framework is of significance for ecological economics because it addresses the evolution ... -
Darwinian Evolutionary Ideas in Business Economics and Organization Studies
(University of Hertfordshire, 2006-04)This thesis is a study of the use of Darwinian evolutionary ideas in business economics and organization studies. Mindful of the explosion of evolutionary rhetoric in the socio-economic domain over the last three decades ... -
Darwinian evolutionary theory and the social sciences
(2008)This is an edited transcript of a symposium held by the Academy of Social Sciences and the ESRC and hosted by the University of Bath on 14 March 2007. The question addressed was ‘whether the theory of natural selection has ... -
Darwinism and Organizational Ecology: A Reply to Reydon and Scholz
(2014-06-03)In an earlier article published in this journal I challenge Reydon and Scholz's (2009) claim that Organizational Ecology is a non-Darwinian program. In this replay to Reydon and Scholz's subsequent response, I clarify the ... -
Darwinism, causality and the social sciences
(2004)Recently the degree to which ‘evolutionary economics’ does or should involve Darwinian principles has come under debate. This essay builds on previous arguments that Darwinism has a potentially wide application to ... -

The data acquisition system of the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF at CERN
(2005-02-11)The n_TOF facility at CERN has been designed for the measurement of neutron capture, fission and (n, xn) cross-sections with high accuracy. This requires a flexible and-due to the high instantaneous neutron flux-almost ... -
Data collection in care homes for older adults: A national survey in England
(2023-11-07)Context: In many countries, there is a specification for information that should be collected by care homes. So-called ‘minimum data-sets’ (MDS) are often lengthy, and report on resident health and wellbeing, staff, and ...
