Load reconstruction on a missile structure using the Pseudo-Inverse methods
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-01-01)A missile during air carriage is subjected to high vibratory forces. These forces consequently impose high levels of stress on the attachment points to the aircraft A repetitive application of stress causes fatigue. However, ... -
Load sequence effect on fatigue damage
(2012)Reliable damage tolerant design of airframe structures relies on the accurate life prediction of fatigue cracks propagating from a detectable size to the critical size, which is challenging due to the complex load sequence ... -
Local analogues of high-redshift star-forming galaxies: integral field spectroscopy of green peas
(2017-10-21)We use integral field spectroscopy, from the SWIFT and Palm3K instruments, to perform a spatially-resolved spectroscopic analysis of four nearby highly star-forming `green pea' (GP) galaxies, that are likely analogues of ... -
Local and differential control of vegetative storage protein expression in response to herbivore damage in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2002-01-01)Vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) are thought to fulfil important nutritional roles during plant development and stress adaptation. Plant responses to mechanical wounding and herbivore damage include an activation of VSP ... -
Local and non-local controls on a persistent cold-air pool in the Arve River Valley
(2020-02-28)A numerical model is used to simulate a persistent cold-air pool (PCAP) event that occurred in the section of the Arve River Valley around Passy in the French Alps. During this period, an upper-level ridge from the Atlantic ... -
Local and plasma antibody responses to the parasitic larval stages of the abomasal nematode Ostertagia circumcincta
(1995-09)Ovine isotype-specific antibody responses to the parasitic larval stages of the abomasal nematode Ostertagia circumcincta were measured in a simple, indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Analysis of variance of ... -
Local examination of skin diffusion using FTIR spectroscopic imaging and multivariate target factor analysis
(2009-05-29)In the context of trans-dermal drug delivery it is very important to have mechanistic insight into the barrier function of the skin's stratum corneum and the diffusion mechanisms of topically applied drugs. Currently ... -
Local Heat Transfer Measurements on a Rotating Flat Blade Model with a Single Film Hole
(2009-05-10)An experimental study was performed to measure the heat transfer coefficient distributions on a flat blade model under rotating operating conditions. A steady-state thermochromic liquid crystal technique was employed to ... -
Local Information Maximisation creates Emergent Flocking Behaviour
(MIT Press, 2011)The three boids rules of alignment, separation and cohesion, introduced by Reynolds to recreate flocking behaviour have become a well known standard to create swarm behaviour. In this paper we want to demonstrate how similar ... -
Local Join Optimization over a Heterogeneously Distributed Scientific Database
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)This paper begins by discussing the running of the first distributed queries across a heterogeneously distributed scientific database between Manchester and Portsmouth. It then investigates the join operations over the ... -
Local projects and cross-institution development of learning and teaching
(2006)This article focuses on the potential for local projects or initiatives to have cross-institution impact. With an increasing emphasis on sharing good practice across institutions and across the sector, there is often an ... -
Local, National and Global Citizenship
(2003)This paper puts local, national and global citizenship into context post 11.9.01 and pre Johannesburg Earth Summit 2002. It contextulises the strands of the Crick report (1998) and how these integrate with the national ... -
The Local, the ‘Indigenous’ and the Limits of Rethinking Peacebuilding
(2021-03-01)Recent critical perspectives on peacebuilding have sought to shed light on experiences so far marginalized by mainstream approaches. In particular, critics have pushed peacebuilding towards radically different ways of ... -
Localism: a planning panacea?
(2019-09-01)It has been observed that there is a 'global trend' towards devolution of power from national governments to regional and local authorities, and planning is one of the activities often devolved. In England, the UK government ... -
A localist implementation of the Primacy model of immediate serial recall
(Springer Nature, 1997)We present a localist, connectionist implementation of the Primacy model of immediate serial recall. We demonstrate a connectionist ordering mechanism which is localist and activation-based rather than based on association ... -
Localist models are compatible with information measures, sparseness indices and complementary learning systems in the brain
(2017-03-16)In this paper, I express continued support for localist modelling in psychology and critically evaluate previous studies that have sought to weaken the localist case in favour of models with thoroughgoing distributed ... -
Localized and non-contact mechanical stimulation of dorsal root ganglion sensory neurons using scanning ion conductance microscopy
(2007)Mechanosensitive ion channels convert external mechanical force into electrical and chemical signals in cells, but their physiological function in different tissues is not clearly understood. One reason for this is that ...
