The significant contribution of minor mergers to the cosmic star formation budget
(2013-12)We estimate an empirical lower limit for the fraction of cosmic star formation that is triggered by minor mergers in the local Universe. Splitting the star formation budget by galaxy morphology, we find that early-type ... -
Signs of Dystopia and Demoralization in global academia: Reflections on the precarious and destructive effects of the colonization of the Lebenswelt
(2017-05-02)Purpose Our paper has been written in the style of a provocative essay. It starts with the observation that neo-liberalism has become the leading “policy doctrine” in Higher Education (HE) systems across the globe. This ... -

Silencing and Freedom of Speech in UK Higher Education
(2021-06-01)Freedom of speech in universities is currently an issue of widespread concern and debate. Recent empirical findings in the UK shed some light on whether speech is unduly restricted in the university, but it suffers from ... -
Silencing of Essential Genes within a Highly Coordinated Operon in Escherichia coli
(2015-08-15)Essential bacterial genes located within operons are particularly challenging to study independently because of coordinated gene expression and the nonviability of knockout mutants. Essentiality scores for many operon genes ... -
Silent Landscapes, Textured Memory : Keith Morris Washington's Lynching Paintings
(2017-06-01)Keith Morris Washington’s landscape paintings have received surprisingly little scholarly attention, and thus the present article aims to address that lack. Primarily, this article argues that in representing landscapes ... -
Silicate evolution in brown dwarf disks
(2009-08-10)We present a compositional analysis of the 10 mu m silicate spectra for brown dwarf disks in the Taurus and Upper Scorpius (UppSco) star-forming regions, using archival Spitzer/Infrared Spectrograph observations. A variety ... -
Silicon builds resilience in strawberry plants against both strawberry powdery mildew Podosphaera aphanis and two-spotted spider mites Tetranychus urticae
(2020-12-08)Silicon is found in all plants and the accumulation of silicon can improve plant tolerance to biotic stress. Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) and two-spotted spider mite (Tetranychus urticae) are both ... -
Silicon carbide grains of type C provide evidence for the production of the unstable isotope Si in supernovae
(2013-07-01)Carbon-rich grains are observed to condense in the ejecta of recent core-collapse supernovae (SNe) within a year after the explosion. Silicon carbide grains of type X are C-rich grains with isotopic signatures of explosive ... -
Silicon enhances the constitutive defence pathway in strawberries against strawberry powdery mildew and two-spotted spider mites
(2019-11-21)Strawberry powdery mildew (Podosphaera aphanis) is a major fungal disease affecting strawberry production. The work reported here assessed the use of silicon as a nutrient (Sirius) delivered via the fertigation system in ... -
Silicon improves salinity tolerance in wheat plants
(2008)Durum wheat (Triticum durum cv. Gediz-75) and bread wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Izmir-85) were grown in a complete nutrient solution in a growth room to investigate effect of silicone supplied to the nutrient solution on ... -
A silicon micromachined device for use in blood cell deformability studies
(1995-08)An application of silicon micromachining to the analysis of blood cell theology is described. The system, based upon a micromachined flow cell, provides a specific measurement of each cell in a statistically significant ... -
Silodosin oral films: Development, physico-mechanical properties and in vitro dissolution studies in simulated saliva
(2019-10-01)Sublingual film dosage forms for drugs used for fast symptomatic treatment have promise because they allow a rapid onset of action. The aim of this study was to prepare films of silodosin intended for sublingual administration ... -
