Sunlands irrigation scheme headworks upgrading, hydraulics of the water distribution system.
(Institution of Engineers, 1984-09-01)High salinity levels on the River Murray have caused damage to irrigated crops due to salt toxicity. The toxic effects can be mitigated by irrigating at night only. On Sunlands irrigation scheme (700 hectares) the pumping ... -
Sunset in the West : Outsourcing editorial work from the UK to India - a case study of the impact on workers
(2007)This paper presents a case study carried out in a large academic publishing and printing house. Interviews were carried out in both locations with senior and middle management, workers and trade unionsto gain their ... -
A super-earth and two Neptunes orbiting the nearby sun-like star 61 Virginis
(2010)We present precision radial velocity data that reveal a multiple exoplanet system orbiting the bright nearby G5V star 61 Virginis. Our 4.6 years of combined Keck/HIRES and Anglo-Australian Telescope precision radial ... -
Superbubble dynamics in globular cluster infancy. I. How do globular clusters first lose their cold gas?
(2012-10-05)The picture of the early evolution of globular clusters has been significantly revised in recent years. Current scenarios require at least two generations of stars of which the first generation (1G), and therefore also the ... -
Superbubble dynamics in globular cluster infancy. II. Consequences for secondary star formation in the context of self-enrichment via fast-rotating massive stars
(2013-04-12)Context. The self-enrichment scenario for globular clusters (GC) requires large amounts of residual gas after the initial formation of the first stellar generation. Recently, we found that supernovae may not be able to ... -
Supergravity Fluxes and Generalised Geometry : LMS/EPSRC Durham Symposium on Higher Structures in M theory
(2019-08-01)We briefly review the description of the internal sector of supergravity theories in the language of generalised geometry and how this gives rise to a description of supersymmetric backgrounds as integrable geometric ... -
The Superhero Costume : Identity and Disguise in Fact and Fiction
(Bloomsbury Academic, 2015-11-19)Costume defines the superhero, disguising and distinguishing him or her from the civilian alter ego. The often garish garb expresses a hero's otherness and empowers its wearers to seek a primal form of justice. This book ... -
Superior customer service to face intensified competition : A case study of a budget hotel in Watford
(2010)Purpose – This study aims to obtain regular guests’ views regarding customer satisfaction in Watford North Premier Inn. Methodology – Self administered questionnaires were distributed over a month’s period in 2009 and 2010 ... -
Superior discrimination of speech pitch and its relationship to verbal ability in autism spectrum disorders
(2008-09)Whilst hypersensitivity to pitch information appears to be characteristic of many individuals with autism spectrum disorders little is known about the implications of such a tendency for language acquisition and development. ... -
Superior face recognition in Body Dysmorphic Disorder
(2012-07)Introduction: Individuals with Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) may have a propensity for viewing faces differently from healthy controls. In an attempt to explore these processing changes in more detail, we investigate face ... -
The supermassive black hole in M84 revisited
(2010)The mass of the central black hole in the giant elliptical galaxy M84 has previously been measured by two groups using the same observations of emission-line gas with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) on the ... -

A Supernatural War : Magic, Divination and Faith during the First World War
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2018-10-25)A comprehensive study of the major revival of supernatural beliefs, superstition, and spiritualism during the First World War and its aftermath. A look at what the beliefs, practices, and contemporary opinions on magic can ... -
Supernova feedback and the energy deposition in molecular clouds
(2020-04-01)Feedback from supernovae is often invoked as an important process in limiting star formation, removing gas from galaxies and, hence, as a determining process in galaxy formation. Here, we report on numerical simulations, ...
