An individual-based model of the evolution of pesticide resistance in heterogeneous environments : Control of meligethes aeneus population in oilseed rape crops
(2014-12-22)
Preventing a pest population from damaging an agricultural crop and, at the same time, preventing the development of pesticide resistance is a major challenge in crop protection. Understanding how farming practices and ...
Galaxy Zoo: CANDELS barred discs and bar fractions
(2014-12-21)
The formation of bars in disc galaxies is a tracer of the dynamical maturity of the population. Previous studies have found that the incidence of bars in discs decreases from the local Universe to z ~ 1, and by z > 1 ...
ASEF Performance Report - (D07) : Automated Sample Extraction from Filters
(RED Scientific, 2014-12-19)
Tomography of Galactic star-forming regions and spiral arms with the Square Kilometer Array
(Proceedings of Science (PoS), 2014-12-19)
Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) at radio wavelengths can provide astrometry accurate to 10 micro-arcseconds or better (i.e. better than the target GAIA accuracy) without being limited by dust obscuration. This ...
United Kingdom drug situation: annual report to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA) 2014 : Contributed to Chapter 6: Health correlates and consequences.

Rheology and pressurised gyration of starch and starch-loaded poly(ethylene oxide)
(2014-12-19)
This work investigates the rheology and spinning of starch and starch-loaded poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) by pressurised gyration in order to prepare nanofibres. The spinning dope's rheological properties played a crucial ...
Searching for Ha-Selected Planetary Nebulae in the UWISH2 Galactic Plane Molecular Hydrogen Survey
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-12-18)
This thesis seeks to analyse and quantify the differences present in 2 different emission mechanisms
seen in Planetary Nebulae (PN). These are H emission from recombination of ionised
hydrogen and H2 emission from ...
Identity in the Anglo-Indian Novel: "The Passing Figure" and Performance
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-12-18)
In the following thesis, two interrelated arguments are offered: firstly, a re-appropriation of the passing figure from an African-American context to the Anglo-Indian context is suggested, which it is argued, will allow ...
Transforming Type : New Directions in Kinetic Typography
(Bloomsbury Academic, 2014-12-18)
This monograph, published by Bloomsbury Academic, identifies a category of behavior in kinetic typography that is distinct from other forms of temporal typography, and presents a typology of kinetic behaviors, in order to ...
First Investigation of the Combined Impact of Ionizing Radiation and Momentum Winds from a Massive Star on a Self-gravitating Core
(2014-12-18)
Massive stars shape the surrounding interstellar matter (ISM) by emitting ionizing photons and ejecting material through stellar winds. To study the impact of the momentum from the wind of a massive star on the surrounding ...
