The Spanish economy: from the single market to EMU
(Frank Cass Publishers, 2001) -
Spanish foreign direct investment, transnationals and the redefinition of the Spanish business realm
(2001)Spanish outward direct investment grew substantially during the 1990s, transforming some Spanish businesses from national players to transnationals and adding a distinctive Latin American dimension to an essentially European ... -
The spark in the engine : creative workers in a global economy
(2007)Introducing this volume, this paper summarises the contents and offers an analysis of the place of creative work in a global economy, focusing in particular on the restructuring of global value chains and the commodification ... -
Sparse Coding with a Somato-Dendritic Rule
(2020-06-26)Cortical neurons are silent most of the time. This sparse activity is energy efficient, and the resulting neural code has favourable properties for associative learning. Most neural models of sparse coding use some form ... -
A Sparse Reformulation of the Green's Function Formalism Allows Efficient Simulations of Morphological Neuron Models
(2015-12)We prove that when a class of partial differential equations, generalized from the cable equation, is defined on tree graphs and the inputs are restricted to a spatially discrete, well chosen set of points, the Green's ... -
Sparsely-connected associative memory models with displaced connectivity.
(2007)Our work is concerned with finding optimum connection strategies in high-performance associative memory models. Taking inspiration from axonal branching in biological neurons, we impose a displacement of the point of ... -
Spatial analysis of the benefits and burdens of ecological focus areas for water-related ecosystem services vulnerable to climate change in Europe
(2019-02-01)There are many concerns regarding the effects of climate change including threats to ecosystem services. Rural land use can influence these services and there is scope for associated policies to steer decisions towards ... -
Spatial and temporal controls on hydro-geomorphic processes in the French pre-Alps
(2011)Integration of paleoenvironmental reconstructions, environmental history and cellular modeling sheds light on the likely impacts of climate change on hydrological and geomorphological processes in the French Prealps. -
Spatial and temporal variability of greenhouse gas emissions from rural development land use operations
(2017-03-13)Climate change objectives of mitigation and adaptation are being mainstreamed into many policies and strategies around the world. In Europe, this has included the Rural Development Programme, which aims to tackle multiple ... -
Spatial aspects of light leaf spot (Pyrenopeziza brassicae) epidemic development on winter oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in the United Kingdom
(2003-06)In microplot experiments in 1998-99 and 1999-2000, the start of light leaf spot epidemics could be predicted from weather data, using empirical equations for Pyrenopeziza brassicae apothecial (ascospore) development. ... -
Spatial distribution and optical properties of Saharan dust observed by airborne high spectral resolution lidar during SAMUM 2006
(2009-02-02)Airborne measurements of pure Saharan dust extinction and backscatter coefficients, the corresponding lidar ratio and the aerosol optical thickness (AOT) have been performed during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment 2006, ... -
Spatial Dynamics of Post-Crisis Deleveraging
(2022-05-19)While the growth of household debt has been instrumental in the creation of the recent bubbles, debt disposal also plays an important role in shaping the scope and depth of busts. Much has been written about debt and ... -
Spatial light scattering analysis as a means of characterising and classifying non-spherical particles
(1998)The manner in which a particle scatters incident light is a function of the particle's shape, its size, its structure and its orientation with respect to the illumination direction, as well as to the wavelength and ... -
Spatial perspectives on the Channel Tunnel: an introduction
(1994-01-01)The opening of the Channel Tunnel will have important implications for accessibility and the European space economy. There has been a significant growth in multidisciplinary research related to the impact of the Channel ... -
Spatial relationships between carabids and pest larvae in a winter oilseed rape crop
(2006-04-03)Studies in the EU MASTER project show that carabid beetles can feed on larvae of oilseed rape pests (e.g. Piper & Williams, 2004), but to identify them as potential biocontrol agents it must be shown that significant numbers ... -
Spatially consistent microbial biomass and future cellular carbon release from melting Northern Hemisphere glacier surfaces
(2022-11-10)Melting glacier ice surfaces host active microbial communities that enhance glacial melt, contribute to biogeochemical cycling, and nourish downstream ecosystems; but these communities remain poorly characterised. Over the ... -
Spatially distributed dendritic resonance selectively filters synaptic input
(2014-08)An important task performed by a neuron is the selection of relevant inputs from among thousands of synapses impinging on the dendritic tree. Synaptic plasticity enables this by strenghtening a subset of synapses that are, ... -
The Spatially Resolved Dynamics of Dusty Starburst Galaxies in a z tilde 0.4 Cluster: Beginning the Transition from Spirals to S0s
(2016-07-21)To investigate what drives the reversal of the morphology–density relation at intermediate/high redshift, we present a multiwavelength analysis of 27 dusty starburst galaxies in the massive cluster Cl 0024+17 at z = 0.4. ... -
A Spatially Resolved Radio Spectral Index Study of the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC\,1569
(2018-04-21)We study the resolved radio continuum spectral energy distribution of the dwarf irregular galaxy, NGC 1569, on a beam-by-beam basis to isolate and study its spatially resolved radio emission characteristics. Utilizing ...
