Eigengalaxies: Galaxy Morphology as a Linear Image Space and its Applications
(2020-10-19)In this thesis I contextualise the history of morphology as underpinned by Hubble's scheme, discrete in nature, and deeply connected to theories of galaxy formation history. I set out in contrast, to describe a purely ... -
Eight criteria for practice-based research in the creative and cultural industries
(2008-08)This article addresses two core problems in practice-based research: the identification of fundamental conditions and, therefore, the identification of actual examples. It is critical of the methods in many earlier case ... -
Eight Times Acceleration of Geospatial Data Archiving and Distribution on the Grids
(2009)A grid-powered Web Geographical Information Science (GIS)/Web Processing Service (WPS) system has been developed for archiving and distributing large volumes of geospatial data. However, users, WPS servers, and data resources ... -
Ejecta and the Late Stages of Stellar Evolution
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)The late stages of stellar evolution are characterised by prodigious mass-loss, particularly on the Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB), resulting in the build up of a circumstellar envelope of gas and dust. In this way, the ... -
Ejection velocities of high galactic latitude runaway stars
(2011)We estimate the distribution of ejection velocities for the known population of high Galactic latitude runaway stars. The initial sample is a collection of 174 early-type stars selected from the literature. The stars are ... -
The elaboration of personal construct psychology
(2007)More than half a century has passed since the publication of George Kelly's (1955/1991) The Psychology of Personal Constructs. This review considers the elaboration of personal construct psychology (PCP) during this time, ... -
Elastic alpha scattering on Sn-112 and Sn-124 at astrophysically relevant energies
(2005-06)The cross sections for the elastic scattering reactions Sn-112,Sn-124(alpha,alpha)Sn-112,Sn-124 at energies above and below the Coulomb barrier are presented and compared to predictions for global alpha-nucleus potentials. ... -
Elastic alpha-scattering on proton rich nuclei at astrophysically relevant energies
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2006)In order to improve the reliability of statistical model calculations in the region of heavy proton rich nuclei several elastic alpha scattering experiments have been carried out at low bombarding energies on various ... -
Elastic energy storage and release in white muscle from dogfish scyliorhinus canicula
(1999-01)The production of work by the contractile component (CC) and the storage and release of work in the elastic structures that act in series (the series elastic component, SEC) with the contractile component were measured ... -
Elastomer-glass micropump employing active throttles
(2004)We report a reciprocating microfluidic pump, the Micro Throttle Pump (MTP), constructed in a relatively uncomplicated manner from glass and microstructured poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS). Unconventionally, the MTP employs ... -
The Elbow-EpiTrainer : A method of delivering graded resistance to the extensor carpi radialis brevis. Effectiveness of a prototype device in a healthy population
(2015-03-01)Background: Tennis elbow or lateral epicondylopathy (LE) is experienced as the lateral elbow has a reported prevalence of 1.3%, with symptoms lasting up to 18 months. LE is most commonly attributed to tendinopathy involving ... -
The Elderly Centre Location Problem
(2020-02-12)Increased human life expectancy combined with declining birth rates around the globe has led to ageing populations, particularly in the developed world. This phenomenon brings about increased dependency ratios and calls ... -
Elections to the European parliament, June 2004 : the 15 established member states
(2005-09)Among the 15 established member states of the European Union (EU-15), the 2004 elections to the European Parliament (EP) reveal four big stories. First, turnout was the lowest since the first direct EP elections in 1979, ... -
Electric pulse current effect on stress-strain state in the notch vicinity in a cantilever beam under cyclic bending
(2010)Calculation results of the thermal effect assessment induced by electric pulse current on stress variation in the edge notch vicinity in a metal cantilever beam under cyclic bending are presented. The results obtained ... -
ELECtric Tibial nerve stimulation to Reduce Incontinence in Care homes: protocol for the ELECTRIC randomised trial
(2019-12-16)Background: Urinary incontinence (UI) is highly prevalent in nursing and residential care homes (CHs) and profoundly impacts on residents' dignity and quality of life. CHs predominantly use absorbent pads to contain UI ... -
Electrical Compartmentalization in Neurons
(2019-02-12)The dendritic tree of neurons plays an important role in information processing in the brain. While it is thought that dendrites require independent subunits to perform most of their computations, it is still not understood ...
