Short and long term near-infrared spectroscopic variability of eruptive protostars from VVV
(2020-02-01)
Numerous eruptive variable young stellar objects (YSOs), mostly Class I systems, were recently detected by the near-infrared Vista Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. We present an exploratory near-infrared spectroscopic ...
Cool Jupiters greatly outnumber their toasty siblings : Occurrence rates from the Anglo-Australian Planet Search
(2020-02-01)
Our understanding of planetary systems different to our own has grown dramatically in the past 30 yr. However, our efforts to ascertain the degree to which the Solar system is abnormal or unique have been hindered by the ...
Emotional Reactions to the Perception of Risk in the Pompeii Archaeological Park
(2020-02-01)
The assessment of perceived risk by people is extremely important for safety and security management. Each person is based on the opinion of others to make a choice and the Internet represents the place where these opinions ...
Leaf Scattering Polarimetry and Chlorophyll Fluorescence
(2020-02-01)
A number of spectropolarimetry measurements on leaves using white light and narrow band illumination have been reported in recent years because of interest in signatures for remote sensing of exoplanet life. Chlorophyll ...
Design recommendations for stainless steel I-sections under concentrated transverse loading
(2020-02-01)
Recent investigations have highlighted the need for improved provisions for determining the resistance of stainless steel I-sections under concentrated transverse loading. Such provisions, which reflect the particular ...
Investigating the spectral age problem with powerful radio galaxies
(2020-02-01)
The 'spectral age problem' is our systematic inability to reconcile the maximum cooling time of radiating electrons in the lobes of a radio galaxy with its age as modelled by the dynamical evolution of the lobes. While ...
Queer Densities in Garth Greenwell's What Belongs to You: Narrative, Memory, Corporeality
(2020-01-31)
Much contemporary queer US literature aims at physical and metaphorical density to write against the systematic subjugation and marginalisation of queer lives, the lingering inequalities of LGBTQIA+ people, and the ...
'I am the Bad Wolf. I create myself': the metafictional meanings of lycanthropic transformation in Doctor Who
(Manchester University Press, 2020-01-31)
This chapter was developed from a paper ('I was a teenage Whovian but I'm all right now-eee-ooooooooo-ooo-eeh-yooooooooo: the metafictional meanings of lycanthropic transformation in Doctor Who') delivered at the Open ...
Jumping-based Asymmetries are Negatively Associated with Jump, Change of Direction, and Repeated Sprint Performance, but not Linear Speed, in Adolescent Handball Athletes
(2020-01-31)
The aim of the present study was to determine the association of multi-directional jumping asymmetries with measures of physical performance. Forty-two youth handball athletes (age: 16.0 ± 1.3 years; body height: 174.11 ± ...
"Monstrous and indefensible"? Newspaper accounts of sexual assaults on children in nineteenth-century England and Wales
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-01-30)
Popular crime reportage of sexual violence has a long history in England. Despite the fact that from the 1830s onwards newspapers and periodicals – and sometimes even law reports – were increasingly liable to skim over the ...
