Benchmark cool companions : Ages and abundances for the PZ Tel system
(2012-03)We present new ages and abundance measurements for the pre-main sequence star PZ Tel. PZ Tel was recently found to host a young and low-mass companion. Using FEROS spectra we have measured atomic abundances (e.g. Fe and ... -
Benchmark low-mass objects in Moving Groups
(EDP Sciences, 2013)In order to compile a sample of ultracool dwarfs that will serve as benchmarks for testing theoretical formation and evolutionary models, we selected low-mass cool (>M7) objects that are potentially members of five known ... -
A Benchmark White Dwarf-Ultracool Dwarf Wide Field Binary
(2023-12-19)We present the discovery and multi-wavelength characterisation of VVV J1438-6158 AB, a new field wide-binary system consisting of a 4.6(+5.5-2.4) Gyr and Teff = 9500+/-125 K DA white dwarf (WD) and a Teff = 2400+/-50 K M8 ... -
A benchmarking framework for eTourism capability of destinations’ industries
(2014-08-12)Purpose –The impact of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in tourism has been suggested through extensive research. Previous work has urged the development of wide-angle studies to enable benchmarking of ... -

The Beneficial Effects of Non-specific Synaptic Plasticity for Pattern Recognition in Auto-associative Memory
(2011)Poster presented at CNS 2011 -
The benefit of doing things slowly : employing dissipation for the robust creation of entanglement between ions in spatially separate cavities
(SPIE, 2003)We present protocol that allows the generation of a maximallyentangled state between individual atoms held in spatiallyseparate cavities. Under ideal conditions, the scheme isdeterministic. In a realistic setting, when the ... -
The benefit of orthographic support for oral vocabulary learning in children with Down syndrome
(2013-01-01)Children with Down syndrome typically have weaknesses in oral language, but it has been suggested that this domain may benefit from learning to read. Amongst oral language skills, vocabulary is a relative strength, although ... -
Benefiting from biomimicry through 3D printing to enhance mechanical properties of polymeric structures: Simulation approach
(2023-09-08)Numerous biological structures have intricate compositional arrangements, well-organised pieces and stronger mechanical qualities than the materials that make them up. Therefore, this study focused on enhancing the mechanical ... -
The Benefits and Challenges of Developing Collaborative Writing Skills to Support Students’ Learning
(University of Hertfordshire, 2009)While the 2008 Educause Horizon report states that collaboration webs and collective intelligence tools, such as wikis, are one of the key emergent technologies that are likely to enter the mainstream use in education ... -
The benefits and challenges of large-scale deployment of electronic voting systems : University student views from across different subject groups
(2015-09-01)Electronic Voting System (EVS) is a classroom technology that provides a means to increase students’ engagement, attention and attendance. The purpose of this paper is to provide a deeper insight into students’ views on ... -
