The X-ray spectra of the luminous LMXBs in NGC 3379 : field and globular cluster sources
(2010-12)
From a deep multi-epoch Chandra observation of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 we report the spectral properties of eight luminous LMXBs (L-X > 1.2 x 10(38) erg s(-1)). We also present a set of spectral simulations, produced ...
Introduction - Writing design : words, myths, practices
(2010-12-01)
The six articles presented in this fourth volume of Working Papers on Design (WPoD) are the result of a long process of collaboration. They were initially offered as abstracts in response to a call for papers published in ...
Changing places : Warping between perspectives
(2010-12)
The warp device is commonly applied as a design feature within videogames. It allows the player's avatar to be transported through the gameworld changing the relationship with the gamespace. Moving the avatar through the ...
Stellar population variations in the Milky Way's stellar halo
(2010-12)
If the stellar halos of disk galaxies are built up from the disruption of dwarf galaxies, models predict highly structured variations in the stellar populations within these halos. We test this prediction by studying the ...
Adaptation to increasing severity of phoma stem canker on winter oilseed rape in the UK under climate change
(2010-12)
Various adaptation strategies are available that will minimize or negate predicted climate change-related increases in yield loss from phoma stem canker in UK winter oilseed rape (OSR) production. A number of forecasts for ...
SED fitting of nearby galaxies in the Herschel Reference Survey
(Societe Francaise d'Astronomie et d'Astrophysique, 2010-12-01)
We compute UV to radio continuum spectral energy distributions of 51 nearby galaxies recently observed with SPIRE onboard Herschel and present infrared colours (in the 25-500 μm spectral range). SPIRE data of normal galaxies ...
Overview of optical local access networks development and design challenges
(2010-12-01)
Local access network technologies tend to take advantage of the potentially huge capabilities of fiber communication to deliver faster and more various services to end users. There has been considerable research effort in ...
Self management in atypical mole syndrome : qualitative findings from a pilot study
(2010-12)
Background: Atypical mole syndrome (AMS) is the most significant risk factor for melanoma. Although the incidence of melanoma is rising, with early detection it is more likely to be curable. Regular systematic skin ...
Interaction between polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein and jasmonic acid during defense activation in tomato against Botrytis cinerea
(2010-12-01)
Oligogalacturonic acids (OGAs) generated from in vitro interaction between fungal polygalacturonase (PG) and bean PG-inhibiting protein (PGIP) were shown to activate phytoalexin biosynthesis in soybean. Based on this ...
Classification, location and legitimacy of web-based suppliers of Viagra to the UK
(2010-12-01)
Objectives- To categorise online suppliers of Viagra based on their legal status, and to quantify the suppliers within each category. Methods- Google was used to search for websites offering to sell or supply either ...
