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 ... -
Spatially resolved self-consistent spectral modelling of jellyfish galaxies from MUSE with FADO: trends with mass and stripping intensity
(2023-08-30)We present a spatially resolved stellar population analysis of 61 jellyfish galaxies and 47 control galaxies observed with ESO/MUSE attempting to understand the general trends of the stellar populations as a function of ... -
Spatially Resolved Spectropolarimetry of NGC 1068
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1994)A turning point in the study of AGN was the discovery of broad hydrogen lines seen in polarized light in the nucleus of NGC 1068 (Antonucci and Miller 1985). A model was developed whereby the scatterers responsible for ... -
Spatially-resolved dust properties of the GRB 980425 host galaxy
(2014-02-06)Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been proposed as a tool for studying star formation in the Universe, so it is crucial to investigate whether their host galaxies and immediate environments are in any way special compared with ... -
Spatio-temporal distributions of Meligethes aeneus and its parasitoids in an oilseed rape crop and their significance for crop protection
(2003-07-10)The distributions and phenology of Meligethes aeneus and its parasitoids were studied in relation to the potential value of spatio-temporal information for integrated crop management (ICM) and the conservation management ... -
Spatio-temporal Environmental Monitoring Systems : A data management and delivery approach based on PostGIS database and Google Maps mashup
(2011)A considerable amount of data, including spatial data referring to monitoring locations together with their related attribute time series (as in, for example, rainfall or contaminant concentrations), is usually collected ... -
Speaker Verification
(2010-05-06)A speaker verification method is proposed that first builds a general model of user utterances using a set of general training speech data. The user also trains the system by providing a training utterance, such as a ... -
Speaker verification under mismatched data conditions
(2009)This study presents investigations into the effectiveness of the state-of-the-art speaker verification techniques (i.e. GMM-UBM and GMM-SVM) in mismatched noise conditions. Based on experiments using white and real world ... -
Speaker-specific formant dynamics: an experiment on Australian English /aɪ/
(2004)Formant frequency dynamics are relevant to forensic speaker identification since they are determined by the shape and size of a speaker’s vocal tract and the way he or she configures the articulators for speech. This study ... -
Speaking of Complexity in Management Theory and Practice
(1998-08)This paper describes a complexity perspective on organizational life by drawing on three distinctive sources. First, we describe the way different natural scientists talk of their work in simulating complex dynamical ...
