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 ... -
Speaking Stitches, Laughing Flowers: an Emblematic Reinterpretation of the 'Rainbow' Portrait of Elizabeth I
(2019-11-11)The imagery of the ‘Rainbow’ Portrait of Elizabeth I which hangs at Hatfield House in Hertfordshire has been the subject of numerous academic investigations. However, few have addressed in satisfactory depth the many ... -
Speaking the target language outside the classroom in friendship groups: : a comparative study of international and local modern foreign language students with a focus on employability
(2018-04-01)Foreign language students at university in the UK, both international and local, do not appear to practise the target language much outside class nor form international friendships that would be positive for their learning, ... -
Speaking, Writing and Thinking: linguistic relativity and research
(Adaya Press, 2023)We note that our writing systems suffer from the same problem of linguistic relativity as our spoken languages, i.e., that our first language influences how we think. This is known inaccurately as the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis ... -
The special challenges of marketing the arts festival

A special issue of selected papers from the 7th International Conference on Air Quality - Science and Application : Istanbul, 24-27 March 2009
(2011)The study of urban and regional air quality remains as important as ever. In 2007, the number of people living in urban areas exceeded the number living in rural areas for the first time in history. Further continuation ... -
Special issue on cooperative wireless and mobile communications
(2013-11-26)The fundamental idea of cooperative communications in wireless networks originates from the design of multiple-antenna systems. In multiple-antenna systems, communicating terminals are equipped with multiple antennas to ...
