Formation of slowly rotating early-type galaxies via major mergers: a resolution study
(2010)We study resolution effects in numerical simulations of gas-rich and gas-poor major mergers, and show that the formation of slowly rotating elliptical galaxies often requires a resolution that is beyond the present-day ... -
The formation of stars
(2005)We review the process of star formation, detailing the theories underlying the stability of molecular clouds and their collapse to protostars, and discussing the empirical evidence and models which inform them. We give ... -
Formation of Stars and Star Clusters in Colliding Galaxies
(2013-04-03)Mergers are known to be essential in the formation of large scale structures and to have a significant role in the history of galaxy formation and evolution. Besides a morphological transformation, mergers induce important ... -
A formation timescale of the Galactic halo from Mg isotopes in dwarf stars
(2018-04-04)We determine magnesium isotopic abundances of metal-poor dwarf stars from the galactic halo, to shed light on the onset of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star nucleosynthesis in the galactic halo and constrain the timescale ... -
A Formative Decade : Ireland in the 1920s
(Irish Academic Press, 2015-03)In the aftermath of the Great War, Europe’s empires crumbled and a patchwork of new nation states emerged across the continent. As the map of Europe was being redrawn after 1918, Ireland too stood on the threshold of great ... -
Formative Usability Evaluation of WiGlove - A Home-based Rehabilitation Device for Hand andWrist Therapy after Stroke
(ACM Press, 2023-03-13)WiGlove is a passive dynamic orthosis aimed at home-based poststroke rehabilitation of the hand and wrist. This paper highlights results from WiGlove's formative evaluation as the first step towards its deployment. In this ... -
Forming Concepts of Mozart and Homer Using Short-Term and Long-Term Memory: A Computational Model Based on Chunking
(2020-08-01)A fundamental issue in cognitive science concerns the mental processes that underlie the formation and retrieval of concepts in the short-term and long-term memory (STM and LTM respectively). This study advances Chunking ... -
Forms of bovine pepsinogen in plasma from cattle with three different 'syndromes' of Ostertagia ostertagi infection
(1988-01)Calves infected orally with third stage larvae of Ostertagia ostertagi or infected with adult O ostertagi by direct transplantation into the abomasum had raised plasma pepsinogen activity, as did four-year-old dairy cattle ... -
The Formulaic and Embryonic Dimensions of Knowledge Management Strategy : A Social Practice Perspective
(2011)Knowledge Management (KM) literature is populated with a variety of perspectives, prescriptions and studies of practice, which can be complex, contradictory and confusing to practitioners who seek to make sense of, and ... -
Formulation factors affecting acceptability of oral medicines in children
(2015-08-15)Acceptability of medicines in children and caregivers affects safety and effectiveness of medicinal treatments. The pharmaceutical industry is required to demonstrate acceptability of new paediatric formulations in target ... -

Formulation pre-screening of inhalation powders using computational atom-atom systematic search method
(2015-01-05)The synthonic modeling approach provides a molecule-centered understanding of the surface properties of crystals. It has been applied extensively to understand crystallization processes. This study aimed to investigate the ... -
The Fornax3D project: Planetary nebulae catalogue and independent distance measurements to Fornax cluster galaxies
(2021-09-29)Extragalactic planetary nebulae (PNe) offer a way to determine the distance to their host galaxies thanks to the nearly universal shape of the planetary nebulae luminosity function (PNLF). Accurate PNe distance measurements ... -
