The Basis of Correctness in the Religious Studies Classroom
(2016-11-18)What is it that makes a student’s answer correct or incorrect in Religious Studies? In practice, the standards of correctness in the RS classroom are generally applied with relative ease by teachers and students. Nevertheless, ... -
BASIS: Bayfordbury single-object integral field spectrograph
(SPIE, 2012-09)We present an inexpensive (<US$500) and easily replicable integral field unit for use on small aperture telescopes. Based on a commercial small spectrograph (SBIG Self-Guiding Spectrograph) and a 37 optical fibre bundle ... -
The ‘Bastilles’ of the Constitution: political prisoners, radicalism and prison reform in early nineteenth-century England
(2018-07-01)This article examines the experience of English working-class radicals imprisoned on charges of treason and sedition in the early nineteenth century. It offers a new analysis of the impact of government repression of the ... -

The battle of living with obsessive compulsive disorder : a qualitative study of young people's experiences
(2018-09-01)Background: There has been an abundance of studies that have employed quantitative methods to research obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and its neurobiology and neurochemistry. However, there appears to be a paucity of ... -
Batum
(2016-04-01)Batum takes as its starting point the experience of near drowning in the Black Sea of Batumi, Georgia. As such, the film is induced with a desire for an auto-ethnographical self-interrogation. Images that feature in the ... -
Bayes and the Law
(2016-03-09)Although the last forty years has seen considerable growth in the use of statistics in legal proceedings, it is primarily classical statistical methods rather than Bayesian methods that have been used. Yet the Bayesian ... -
Bayesian analysis of the radial velocities of HD 11506 reveals another planetary companion
(2009-03-01)Aims. We aim to demonstrate the efficiency of a Bayesian approach in analysing radial velocity data by reanalysing a set of radial velocity measurements. Methods. We present Bayesian analysis of a recently published set ... -
Bayesian estimation of the true prevalence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis infection in Cypriot dairy sheep and goat flocks
(2011)We estimated the prevalence of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (MAP) infected sheep and goats, older than 2 years, reared in the region effectively controlled by the Government of the Republic of Cyprus, in ... -
Bayesian hierarchical modelling of the M*–SFR relation from 1 ≲ z ≲ 6 in ASTRODEEP
(2022-07-31)The Hubble Frontier Fields represent the opportunity to probe the high-redshift evolution of the main sequence of star-forming galaxies to lower masses than possible in blank fields thanks to foreground lensing of massive ... -
Bayesian inference of jet bulk-flow speeds in Fanaroff–Riley type II radio sources
(2009)Radio jet and core data for a complete sample of 98 Fanaroff–Riley type II sources with z < 1 are analysed with a Markov Chain Monte Carlo model fitting method to obtain constraints on bulk-flow speeds in the beam. The ... -
Bayesian inference of T Tauri star properties using multi-wavelength survey photometry
(2013-01-01)There are many pertinent open issues in the area of star and planet formation. Large statistical samples of young stars across star-forming regions are needed to trigger a breakthrough in our understanding, but most optical ... -
Bayesian Learning Networks Approach to Cybercrime Detection
(2003)The growing dependence of modern society on telecommunication and information networks has become inevitable. The increase in the number of interconnected networks to the Internet has led to an increase in security threats ... -
Bayesian re-analysis of the radial velocities of Gliese 581. Evidence in favour of only four planetary companions
(2011-02-16)Aims: The Gliese 581 planetary system has received attention because it has been proposed to host a low-mass planet in its habitable zone. We re-analyse the radial velocity measurements reported to contain six planetary ... -
Bayesian search for low-mass planets around nearby M dwarfs. Estimates for occurrence rate based on global detectability statistics
(2014-06-21)Due to their higher planet-star mass ratios, M dwarfs are the easiest targets for detection of low-mass planets orbiting nearby stars using Doppler spectroscopy. Furthermore, because of their low masses and luminosities, ... -
BBC Broadcast of CD 'Reflection'
(2009)BBC Radio 3 broadcast of 'Reflection.' 'Reflection' is a CD recording substantially comprising choral music by T J Blinko and conducted by the composer. It has received multiple broadcasts on BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 4 ... -
The BBC, the State and Cold War Culture : The Case of Television’s The War Game (1965)
(2006-12)The Cold War was as much a propaganda conflict as one fought between soldiers and politicians. The BBC, as a broadcaster of news and entertainment in large parts of the world, stood at the very centre of this battle. Indeed, ... -
BD+20 1790 b : chronicle of an exoplanetary discovery
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)In this contribution we report evidence for a planetary companion around a young and active late-type K star. Our group has been developing a study of stellar activity and kinematics for this star over the past years. ...
