Equality, diversity and inclusion: learning from laying our cards on the table
(2023-02-28)This article presents preliminary findings from a study designed to evaluate, develop and disseminate a cards resource developed to support dialogue and learning about EDI. Experience of creating cards to explore disciplinary ... -
Equatorial scattering and the structure of the broad-line region in Seyfert nuclei: evidence for a rotating disc
(2005)We present detailed scattering models confirming that distinctive variations in polarization across the broad Hα line, which are observed in a significant fraction of type 1 Seyfert galaxies, can be understood in terms of ... -
Equipartition in the hot-spots of 3C 123
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the powerful, peculiar radio galaxy 3C 123 have resulted in an X-ray detection of the bright eastern hot-spot, with a 1-ke V flux density of ~5 nJy. The X-ray flux and spectrum of ... -

(2017-03-10)The research aims to study how the communication context within the Arab cultures influences the employees’ perception of equity and reaction to inequity. Specifically, the study explores how employees from Arab cultural ... -
Equivalence between focused paraxial beams and the quantum harmonic oscillator
(2005)The paraxial approximation to the scalar Helmholtz equation is shown to be equivalent to the Schrodinger equation for a quantum harmonic oscillator. This equivalence maps the Gouy-phase of classical wave optics onto the ... -
Equivalence between free quantum particles and those in harmonic potentials and its application to instantaneous changes
(2014-06)In quantum physics the free particle and the harmonically trapped particle are arguably the most important systems a physicist needs to know about. It is little known that, mathematically, they are one and the same. This ... -
Equivalences between three presentations of orthogonal and symplectic Yangians
(2019-02-01)We prove the equivalence of two presentations of the Yangian Y(g) of a simple Lie algebra g, and we also show the equivalence with a third presentation when g is either an orthogonal or a symplectic Lie algebra. As an ... -
Eradication of cassava mosaic disease from Nigerian cassava clones by meristem-tip culture
(1981-01)Methods previously established for the propagation of cassava plants free from cassava mosaic disease have been applied to Nigerian clones. Meristem tips from diseased plants subjected to heat treatment for not less than ... -
