Searching for the hidden broad-line region in Centaurus A
(1999)We present the first near-infrared (K-band) spectropolarimetric observations of the nuclear region of Centaurus A. Although the data are of high signal-to-noise ratio, polarized broad Brγ is not detected and we place a 3σ ... -
Searching for the inverse-Compton emission from bright cluster-centre radio galaxies
(2010)We use deep archival Chandra and XMM–Newton observations of three of the brightest cluster-centre radio galaxies in the sky, Cygnus A, Hercules A and Hydra A, to search for inverse-Compton emission from the population of ... -
Searching for the Material in Peter K. Andersson’s ‘How Civilized Were the Victorians?’
(2016-12-06)This article is a response to Peter K. Andersson’s arguments about the ‘civilizing thesis’ in Victorian Studies. It examines his approach in relation to class, discourse, and structure, particularly in relation to the ... -
Searching for transits in the Wide Field Camera Transit Survey with difference-imaging light curves
(2013-12)The Wide Field Camera Transit Survey is a pioneer program aiming at for searching extra-solar planets in the near-infrared. The images from the survey are processed by a data reduction pipeline, which uses aperture photometry ... -
Searching for Young Substellar Companions to Gaia Stars
(2018-07-04)The aim of this thesis is to select young ultra-cool dwarf (UCD, spectral type later than M7) candidates that are likely companions to primary stars within the Tycho-Gaia Astrometric Solution (TGAS) catalogue. The intention ... -
Searle and Collective Intentionality: The Self-defeating Nature of Internalism with respect to Social Facts
(2003)Several key elements go into Searle's construction of social reality, namely, collective intentionality, constitutive rules, and status functions. But by far the most important and arguably contentious of these is collective ... -
Seasonal changes in primary and secondary inoculum during epidemics of leaf blotch (Rhynchosporium secalis) on winter barley
(1992-08)Seasonal changes in numbers of conidia of Rhynchosporium secalis on debris from previous barley crops infected with leaf blotch (primary inoculum) were monitored in 1985-86 and 1986-87. In 1986-87, changes in numbers of ... -
Seasonal characteristics of lidar ratios measured with a Raman lidar at Gwangju, Korea in spring and autumn
(2008-03)Vertical profiles of aerosol lidar ratios at wavelengths of 355 and 532nm were measured with the GIST/ADEMRC (Gwangju Institute of Science & Technology/ADvanced Environmental Monitoring Research Center) multi-wavelength ... -
Seasonal prediction skill of winter temperature over North India
(2016-04-01)The climatology, amplitude error, phase error, and mean square skill score (MSSS) of temperature predictions from five different state-of-the-art general circulation models (GCMs) have been examined for the winter ... -
Seasonal variation of aerosol water uptake and its impact on the direct radiative effect at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard
(2014-07-21)In this study we investigated the impact of water uptake by aerosol particles in ambient atmosphere on their optical properties and their direct radiative effect (ADRE, W m-2) in the Arctic at Ny-Ålesund, Svalbard, during ... -
Seasonality of Overseas Tourism Demand in Scotland: A Regional Analysis
(2015-10-03)Seasonality of overseas tourism demand in Scotland: a regional analysis, Regional Studies. This paper examines patterns of seasonality in international tourism to the regions of Scotland. Quarterly numbers of overnight ... -
Seasonally stable temperature gradients through supraglacial debris in the Everest region of Nepal, Central Himalaya
(2020-12-03)Rock debris covers about 30% of glacier ablation areas in the Central Himalaya and modifies the impact of atmospheric conditions on mass balance. The thermal properties of supraglacial debris are diurnally variable but ... -

Sebomic identification of sex- and ethnicity-specific variations in residual skin surface components (RSSC) for bio-monitoring or forensic applications
(2018-08-21)Background: “Residual skin surface components” (RSSC) is the collective term used for the superficial layer of sebum, residue of sweat, small quantities of intercellular lipids and components of natural moisturising factor ... -
The second data release of the INT Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS DR2)
(2014-11-11)The INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) is a 1800 deg2 imaging survey covering Galactic latitudes |b| < 5° and longitudes ℓ = 30°–215° in the r, i, and Hα filters using the Wide Field Camera ... -
Second harmonic generation : the solution for an amplitude-modulated initial pulse
(1998)We address the initial value problem for one-dimensional second harmonic generation starting from a purely amplitude-modulated fundamental wave. A general method to solve the problem in terms of a Schrödinger equation is ...
