FGC 1287 and its enigmatic 250 kpc long HI tail in the outskirts of Abell 1367
(2022-01-17)We present HI and radio continuum, narrow-band H$\alpha$ imaging, IFU spectroscopy, and X-ray observations of the FGC 1287 triplet projected $\sim$ 1.8 Mpc west of the galaxy cluster Abell 1367. One triplet member, FGC ... -
Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) for the Subaru Telescope
(2010)Fibre Multi-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) is the first near-infrared instrument with a wide field of view capable of acquiring spectra simultaneously from up to 400 objects. It has been developed as a common-use instrument ... -
Fibrinolysis in platelet thrombi
(2021-05-12)The extent and duration of occlusive thrombus formation following an arterial atherothrombotic plaque disruption may be determined by the effectiveness of endogenous fibrinolysis. The determinants of endogenous fibrinolysis ... -
The fickleness of data: Estimating the effects of different aspects of acupuncture treatment on heart rate variability (HRV). Initial findings from three pilot studies
(2014-03-29)Heart rate variability (HRV) is a measure of the interplay between sympathetic and parasympathetic influences on heart rate. Higher HRV is usually associated with relaxation and health benefits, lower HRV with stress/pathology. ... -

Fictional Branching Time?
(Springer Nature, 2013)Some fictions seem to involve branching time, where one time-series ‘splits’ into two, or two time-series ‘fuse’ into one. We provide a new framework for thinking about these fictional representations: not as representations ... -
Fictionalism about folk psychology
(2013-10)This paper argues that fictionalism about folk psychology, FaF, is not a successful way of dealing with eliminativist threats and other concerns about the status of everyday mental states. Its moral? Friends of folk ... -
The Field : An Experiment in Levinasian Ethics
(Bloomsbury Academic, 2013-12-18)Written with Juliette Brown. This article is written in the context of social anthropology and so self-consciously navigates the different knowledges assumed in its readership. It is an attempt at describing the history ... -
FIELD AND GLOBULAR CLUSTER LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARIES IN NGC 4278
(2010-12)We report a detailed spectral analysis of the population of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) detected in the elliptical galaxy NGC 4278 with Chandra. Seven luminous sources were studied individually, four in globular clusters ... -
Field and laboratory exposures of two moss species to low level metal pollution
(2004)Moss transplants of the species Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus and Pleurozium schreberi were used as active biomonitoring organisms as a part of a monitoring study to assess the impact of metals associated with ambient particles ... -
Field based reliability and validity of the Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device
(2012-12)The Bioharness (TM) device is designed for monitoring physiological variables in free-living situations but has only been proven to be reliable and valid in a laboratory environment. Therefore, this study aimed to determine ... -
Field programmable gate arrays-based number plate binarization and adjustment for automatic number plate recognition systems
(2013-01)Number Plate (NP) binarisation and adjustment are very important pre-processing stages in Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems and are used to link the Number Plate Localisation (NPL) and Character segmentation ... -
Field test of multi-hop image sensing network prototype on a city-wide scale
(2017-07-06)Wireless multimedia sensor network drastically stretches the horizon of traditional monitoring and surveillance systems, of which most existing research have utilised Zigbee or WiFi as the communication technology. Both ... -
Field-based Determination of Critical Power and Critical Speed Among Recreational Runners
(2022-01-24)Background Critical power (CP) is a highly regarded threshold, delineating the boundary between heavy and severe intensities of exercise. Determination of CP has long been hindered by testing protocols that are time ... -
Fifteen new T dwarfs discovered in the UKIDSS Large Area Survey
(2008)We present the discovery of fifteen new T2.5-T7.5 dwarfs (with estimated distances between 24–93pc), identified in the first three main data releases of the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. This brings the total number of ... -
Fifteen years of economic transition
(Springer Nature, 2008)Three years after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, and one year after the break-up of the Soviet Union, Egon Matzner collaborated in the production of a book that was critical of the Western-inspired policy of market ‘shock ...
