HiZELS - A high-redshift survey of Hα emitters - II : the nature of star-forming galaxies at z = 0.84
(2009-09-01)
New results from a large survey of Hα emission-line galaxies at z = 0.84 using the Wide Field Camera on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope and a custom narrow-band filter in the J band are presented as part of the High-z ...
The application of Gaussian processes in the prediction of percutaneous absorption
(2009-09)
Objectives The aim was to assess mathematically the nature of a skin permeability dataset and to determine the utility of Gaussian processes in developing a predictive model for skin permeability, comparing it with existing ...
Silicate evolution in brown dwarf disks
(2009-08-10)
We present a compositional analysis of the 10 mu m silicate spectra for brown dwarf disks in the Taurus and Upper Scorpius (UppSco) star-forming regions, using archival Spitzer/Infrared Spectrograph observations. A variety ...
An investigation of stability of a control surface with structural nonlinearities in supersonic flow using Zubov's method
(2009-08-07)
It is well known that the presence of nonlinearities may significantly affect the aeroelastic response of an aerospace vehicle structure. In this paper, the aeroelastic behaviour at high Mach numbers of an all-moving control ...
Transport and Tourism: Global Perspectives.
(Prentice Hall, 2009-08-05)
A method for the localization of damage in a CFRP plate using damping
(2009-08)
In the past 25 years, the scientific and industrial communities have made great efforts on the fields of damage detection and structural health monitoring (SHM). However. no single approach has proven appropriate for all ...
Chemistry of heavy elements in the Dark Ages
(2009-08)
Context. Primordial molecules were formed during the Dark Ages, i.e. the time between recombination and reionization in the early Universe. They were the constituents of the first proto-stellar clouds. Standard Big Bang ...
The link between SCUBA and Spitzer : Cold galaxies at z ≲ 1
(2009-08-01)
We show that the far-IR properties of distant Luminous and UltraLuminous InfraRed Galaxies (LIRGs and ULIRGs, respectively) are on average divergent from analogous sources in the local Universe. Our analysis is based on ...
Optical and near-infrared colours as a discriminant of the age and metallicity of stellar populations
(2009-08-01)
We present a comprehensive analysis of the ability of current stellar population models to reproduce the optical (ugriz) and near-infrared (JHK) colours of a small sample of well-studied nearby elliptical and S0 galaxies. ...
Changing practice in dementia care for people in care homes towards the end of life
(2009-08-01)
This paper reports on the background and design of an innovative study seeking to develop and test a dementia specific approach to palliative care for older people in care homes, entitled Evidence-based interventions in ...
