Sleeping Water : [for clarinet, viola and piano]
(2012)Textural density is described as a theoretical technique (Schillinger System of Musical Composition. New York: C. Fischer, 1946).but never fully demonstrated. In Sleeping Water I have set out to show that it can be applied ... -
Slope–channel coupling between pipes, gullies and tributary channels in the Mocatán catchment badlands, Southeast Spain
(2008)The dispersive nature of the highly sodic silts of the Triassic-rich unit of the Góchar formation plays a fundamental role in the erosion of the Mocatán catchment badlands in Almería, where a rejuvenating pipe and incised ... -
Slot rattling from law enforcement to lawbreaking : a personal construct theory exploration of police stress
(1993)Law enforcement is a highly stressful occupation, although the primary stressors involved are different from what might be expected. These stressors, and police officers' responses to them, were examined from the perspective ... -
A slow burn approach when implementing technology to support student learning in a pre-registration nursing programme. Edulearn 13. ISBN 978-84-616-3823-9
(2013)The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the challenges of implementing an institutional wide project –the use of Electronic Voting Systems (EVS), at grass roots level in the School of Health & Social Work and how that has ... -
SLuRp: a tool to help large complex systematic literature reviews deliver valid and rigorous results
(ACM Press, 2012)Background: Systematic literature reviews are increasingly used in software engineering. Most systematic literature reviews require several hundred papers to be examined and assessed. This is not a trivial task and can be ... -
Sm-144-alpha optical potential at astrophysically relevant energies derived from Sm-144(alpha,alpha) Sm-144 elastic scattering
(1997-03)For the determination of the Sm-144-alpha optical potential we measured the angular distribution bf Sm-144(alpha, alpha)Sm-144 scattering at the energy E(lab)=20 MeV with high accuracy. Using the known systematics pf ... -
Sm-147(n,alpha) cross section measurements from 3 eV to 500 keV : Implications for explosive nucleosynthesis reaction rates
(2000-10)We have measured the Sm-147(n, alpha) cross section from 3 eV to 500 keV. These data were used to test nuclear statistical models which must be relied on to calculate the rates for as yet unmeasurable reactions occurring ... -
Smacking: a family perspective

A small actively-controlled high-resolution spectrograph based on off-the-shelf components
(2021-02-01)We present the design and testing of a prototype in-plane echelle spectrograph based on an actively controlled fiber-fed double-pass design. This system aims to be small and efficient with the minimum number of optical ... -
A small and vigorous black hole in the early Universe
(2024-03-07)Several theories have been proposed to describe the formation of black hole seeds in the early Universe and to explain the emergence of very massive black holes observed in the first thousand million years after the Big ... -
Small business development and tourism: Terra incognita?
(1999-08-01)This paper argues that the relationship between tourism and small business remains terra incognita because much of the existing research is published in diverse sources and fails to explicitly contribute to methodological ... -
Small business growth through franchising : A qualitative investigation
(2008-04-01)Although franchising has long been recognised as an attractive means of growing a business, the impact of franchising for small businesses is an area that is relatively less researched and understood. Whilst resource ... -
Small Change: Economics and the British coin-tree
(2015-06-23)Throughout the c.2000 year period coins have been circulated in Britain, they have also been ritually employed, most notably as votive deposits. Focusing specifically on the understudied custom of the British coin-tree, ... -
Small Change? : Emily Post’s Etiquette (1922-2011)
(Continuum, 2012-10-04)In the contemporary book market, non-fiction genres such as biography and self-help command considerable sales, yet ‘bestseller’ is still a term primarily associated with fiction (the nature of that fiction is explored in ... -

Small farmers and sustainability : Institutional barriers to investment and innovation in the Malaysian palm oil industry in Sabah
(2015-08)The Malaysian palm oil industry is well known for the social, environmental and sustainability challenges associated with its rapid growth over the past ten years. Technologies exist to reduce the conflict between national ... -
Small Galaxies Blowing Big Bubbles
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2000)Some of the lowest-mass dwarf irregular galaxies, such as Leo A, Sag DIG and Cas 1, show a characteristic distribution of their neutral interstellar medium (ISM) as observed in the 21cm line of neutral hydrogen (HI): the ... -
Small molecule recognition of mephedrone using an anthracene molecular clip
(2016-05-16)An anthracene molecular probe has been synthesised and shown to target mephedrone, a stimulant drug from the cathinone class of new psychoactive substances (NPS). A protocol has been developed to detect mephedrone via the ... -
Small scale star formation as revealed by VVVX galactic cluster candidates
(2020-10-02)We report a search and analysis of obscured cluster candidates in the "VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea eXtended (VVVX)" ESO Public Survey area encompassing the region between 229.4 < l <295.2 and -4.3 < b <4.4 of the ...
