    • ALMA observations of massive molecular gas reservoirs in dusty early-type galaxies 

      Sansom, A. E.; Glass, D. H. W.; Bendo, G. J.; Davis, T. A.; Rowlands, K.; Bourne, N.; Dunne, L.; Eales, S.; Kaviraj, S.; Popescu, C.; Smith, M.; Viaene, S. (2019-02-01)
      Unresolved gas and dust observations show a surprising diversity in the amount of interstellar matter in early-type galaxies. Using Atacama Large Millimetre/submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations we resolve the ISM in z ...

    • Can animals detect when their owners are returning home? An experimental test of the 'psychic pet' phenomenon 

      Wiseman, R.; Smith, M.; Milton, J. (1998)
      In his book, Seven Experiments That Could Change The World, Rupert Sheldrake suggested that the public carry out experiments to test whether pets can psychically detect when their owners are returning home. The first of ...

    • Exploring possible sender-to-experimenter acoustic leakage in the PRL autoganzfeld experiments 

      Wiseman, R.; Smith, M.; Kornbrot, D. (1996)

    • A Herschel study of YSO evolutionary stages and formation timelines in two fields of the Hi-GAL survey 

      Elia, D.; Schisano, E.; Molinari, S.; Robitaille, T.; Anglés-Alcázar, D.; Bally, J.; Battersby, C.; Benedettini, M.; Billot, N.; Calzoletti, L.; Di Giorgio, A. M.; Faustini, F.; Li, J.

S.; Testi, L.; Thompson, M.A.; Traficante, A.; Veneziani, M. (2010-05-11)
      We present a first study of the star-forming compact dust condensations revealed by Herschel in the two 2 \times 2 \degr Galactic Plane fields centered at [l;b] = [30\degr; 0 \degr] and [l;b] = [59\degr; 0 \degr], respectively, ...

    • A Herschel*-ATLAS study of dusty spheroids : Probing the minor-merger process in the local Universe 

      Kaviraj, S.; Rowlands, K.; Alpaslan, M.; Dunne, L.; Ting, Y. S.; Bureau, M.; Shabala, S.; Lintott, C.J.; Smith, Daniel; Agius, N.; Auld, R.; Baes, M.; Bourne, N.; Cava, A.; Clements, D. L.; Cooray, A.; Dariush, A.; de Zotti, G.; Driver, S. P.; Eales, S.; Hopwood, R.; Hoyos, C.; Ibar, E.; Maddox, S.; Michalowski, M. J.; Sansom, A. E.; Smith, M.; Valiante, E. (2013-10)
      We use multiwavelength (0.12-500 μm) photometry from Herschel-ATLAS, WISE, UKIDSS, SDSS and GALEX to study 23 nearby spheroidal galaxies with prominent dust lanes (DLSGs). DLSGs are considered to be remnants of recent minor ...

    • The 'psychic pet' phenomenon: a reply to Rupert Sheldrake 

      Wiseman, R.; Smith, M.; Milton, J. (2000)
      Rupert Sheldrake (1999a) has published a note in the previous issue of the Journal criticising our research into the ‘psychic pet’ phenomenon. Certain points arising from this criticism have also been included in his recent ...

      The UKIDSS Galactic Plane Survey (GPS) is one of the five near-infrared Public Legacy Surveys that are being undertaken by the UKIDSS consortium, using the Wide Field Camera on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope

    • Uptake and transport of novel amphiphilic polyelectrolyte-insulin nanocomplexes by caco-2 cells - towards oral insulin 

      Thompson, C.; Cheng, W.P.; Gadad, P.; Skene, K.; Smith, M.; Smith, G.; McKinnon, A.; Knott, R. (2011)
      Purpose: The influence of polymer architecture on cellular uptake and transport across Caco-2 cells of novel amphiphilic polyelectrolyte-insulin nanocomplexes was investigated. Method: Polyallylamine (PAA) (15 kDa) was ...
