Star Power: Kirk Douglas, Celebrity Activism and the Hollywood-Israel connection
(2020-01-21)This article scrutinizes the actor Kirk Douglas’s pro-Israeli advocacy over six decades, both on the screen and off it, setting this within the contexts of the Arab-Israeli conflict and the links between Hollywood and ... -
Star-forming galaxies at z approximate to 8-9 from Hubble Space Telescope/WFC3: implications for reionization
(2011-06)We present a search for galaxies at 7.6 < z < 9.8 using the latest Hubble Space Telescope/Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) near-infrared data, based on the Lyman-break technique. We search for galaxies which have large (Y - J) ... -
STARBENCH: the D-type expansion of an H II region
(2015-10-21)STARBENCH is a project focused on benchmarking and validating different star formation and stellar feedback codes. In this first STARBENCH paper we perform a comparison study of the D-type expansion of an H II region. The ... -
Starbursts in H II Galaxies
(1997)H II galaxies fall at the lower end on the scale of the energy output of their starbursts. Still, they are genuine Starburst Galaxies, producing large numbers of massive stars, and at a rate which is unsustainable in the ... -
Starch/Poly(glycerol-adipate) Nanocomposites: A Novel Oral Drug Delivery Device
(2020-02-01)Biocompatible and bio-based materials are an appealing resource for the pharmaceutical industry. Poly(glycerol-adipate) (PGA) is a biocompatible and biodegradable polymer that can be used to produce self-assembled nanoparticles ... -
Starspot coverage and differential rotation on PZ Tel
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2000)We present Doppler images of the young, late-type star, PZ Tel from spectroscopic observations at two epochs. The 0.95d period necessitated dual-site observations in order to obtain full phase coverage. By making use of ... -
Starspot distributions on fully convective M dwarfs : implications for radial velocity planet searches
(2015-10-07)Since M4.5 - M9 dwarfs exhibit equatorial rotation velocities of order 10 km/s on average, radial velocity surveys targeting this stellar population will likely need to find methods to effectively remove starspot jitter. ... -
Starspot patterns on the M dwarfs HK Aqr and RE 1816+541
(2001-09-21)We present the first Doppler images of two M dwarfs in the solar neighbourhood. Late-type dwarfs are generally too faint to enable spectra with sufficient signal-to-noise (SIN) ratios for Doppler imaging to be obtained in ... -

Starting without theory: confronting the paradox of conceptual development
(Guilford Press, 2005)There is a paradox about how our social understanding develops if we take seriously both theory theory and the cognitivist dictum that all skilful interaction has robust conceptual underpinnings. On the one hand, it is ... -

State Development, Institutional Flexibility and Long-Run Economic Growth: a Cross Country Empirical Examination
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-07-16)This thesis is an empirical investigation examining the impact of state development and institutional flexibility on economic growth, across fifteen developed countries from 1880 to 2008. The development of the state, ... -
State of mixing, shape factor, number size distribution, and hygroscopic growth of the Saharan anthropogenic and mineral dust aerosol at Tinfou, Morocco
(2009-02-02)The Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) was conducted in May and June 2006 in Tinfou, Morocco. A H-TDMA system and a H-DMA-APS system were used to obtain hygroscopic properties of mineral dust particles at 85% RH. ... -
State of the Nations : Transport Planning for a sustainable future
(Transport Planning Society, 2020-10-19)The State of the Nations 2020 report report reviews travel trends and behaviours, current government policy, regional transport planning, spending and investment and transport taxes and charges to enable the Transport ... -
State ownership, credit risk and bank competition: a mixed oligopoly approach
(University of Hertfordshire, 2009)Recent events have led many governments to buy equity in banks leading to a situation of mixed oligopoly in banking markets. We model such a case where a partially state-owned bank competes with a private bank in collecting ... -
State transfer in highly connected networks and a quantum Babinet principle
(2008)The transfer of a quantum state between distant nodes in two-dimensional networks, is considered. The fidelity of state transfer is calculated as a function of the number of interactions in networks that are described by ...
