A Retórica da Academia e os Limites da Comunicação
(Conselho de Pesquisas em Educação e Ciências, 2009)In areas of design practice, the paradigm of knowledge has not been clearly articulated, but some of its characteristics appear to include a valorisation of subjectivity; plurality of interpretation; objects that embody ... -
A-Wardpβ : Effective hierarchical clustering using the Minkowski metric and a fast k-means initialisation
(2016-11-20)In this paper we make two novel contributions to hierarchical clustering. First, we introduce an anomalous pattern initialisation method for hierarchical clustering algorithms, called A-Ward, capable of substantially ... -

Abell 1367: a high fraction of late-type galaxies displaying HI morphological and kinematic perturbations
(2018-04-21)To investigate the effects the cluster environment has on late-type galaxies (LTGs), we studied HI perturbation signatures for all Abell 1367 LTGs with HI detections. We used new Very Large Array HI observations combined ... -
Aberrant driving behaviours amongst New Zealand truck drivers
(2002-01-01)Research using the driver behaviour questionnaire (DBQ) has found that aberrant driving behaviours can be categorised into: errors, lapses and violations (and aggressive violations, depending on the version of the DBQ ... -
The Ability of the Small Ice Detector (SID-2) to Characterize Cloud Particle and Aerosol Morphologies Obtained during Flights of the FAAM BAe-146 Research Aircraft
(2010)The Small Ice Detector mark 2 (SID-2), which was built by the University of Hertfordshire, has been operated by the Met Office on the Facility for Atmospheric Airborne Research (FAAM) BAe-146 aircraft during a large number ... -

Abnormal synaptic plasticity and impaired spatial cognition in mice transgenic for exon 1 of the human Huntington's disease mutation
(2000-07-01)Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive and fatal neurodegenerative brain disorder caused by an expanded CAG/polyglutamine repeat in the coding region of the gene. Presymptomatic Huntington's disease ... -
About Painting : Shadow Series
(2011-10)About Painting looks at painting from the inside and considers the forces shaping it and controversy surrounding the medium. The project considers the wider contexts in which painting is exhibited and made. For example how ... -

About the preliminary design of a self-aligning energy absorber system for railway vehicles
(2013-10-01)A new impact energy absorber for a railway car, which maintains its optimal performances even when an impact with a vertical offset occurs, is described. Starting from the description of the concept design, the present ... -
Abrasive water jet drilling of advanced sustainable bio-fibre-reinforced polymer/hybrid composites : a comprehensive analysis of machining-induced damage responses
(2018-12-01)This paper aims at investigating the effects of variable traverse speeds on machining-induced damage of fibre-reinforced composites, using the abrasive water jet (AWJ) drilling. Three different types of epoxy-based composites ... -
Absence of age effects on spontaneous past and future thinking in daily life
(2019-06)Previous research on voluntary mental time travel (i.e., deliberately thinking about the past or future) has resulted in negative age effects. In contrast, studies on spontaneous past thoughts (i.e., involuntary autobiographical ... -
The absence of an environmental dependence in the mass-metallicity relation at z = 2
(2015-04-02)We investigate the environmental dependence of the mass-metallicity relation at z = 2 with MOSFIRE/Keck as part of the ZFIRE survey. Here, we present the chemical abundance of a Virgo-like progenitor at z = 2.095 that has ... -
The Absence of Diffuse Gas around the Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Leo I
(1997)We have obtained spectra of three QSO/AGNs with the GHRS aboard the Hubble Space Telescope to search for absorption from low column density gas in the halo of the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy Leo I. The probe sight lines ... -
