Different aspects of the lived experience of intellectual disabilities
(2010)
In this issue of Journal of Intellectual Disabilities the first three papers present different aspects of the lived experience of intellectual disabilities, and each of these is undertaken through the use of different ...
Constraints on star-forming galaxies at z≥ 6.5 from HAWK-I Y-band imaging of GOODS-South
(2010)
We present the results of our search for high-redshift Lyman-break galaxies over the GOODS-South field. We use Hubble Space Telescope (HST)-ACS data in B, V, i' & z', Very Large Telescope (VLT)-ISAAC J and Ks, Spitzer–Infrared ...
Human-centred design methods : developing scenarios for robot assisted play informed by user panels and field trials
(2010)
This article describes the user-centred development of play scenarios for robot assisted play, as part of the multidisciplinary IROMEC1 project that develops a novel robotic toy for children with special needs. The project ...
Trust in Technology: A Distinctive and a Problematic Relation
(2010)
The use of tools and artefacts is a distinctive and problematic phenomenon in the history of humanity, and as such it has been a topic of discussion since the beginning of Western culture, from the myths of the Ancient ...
Phase transitions in least-effort communications
(2010)
We critically examine a model that attempts to explain the emergence of power laws (e.g., Zipf's law) in human language. The model is based on the principle of least effort in communications—specifically, the overall effort ...
Testing circumstellar disk lifetimes in young embedded clusters associated with the Vela Molecular Ridge
(2010)
Context. The Vela Molecular Ridge hosts a number of young embedded star clusters at the same evolutionary stage. Aims. We test whether the fraction of members with a circumstellar disk in a sample of clusters in the cloud ...
The linear polarization of nearby bright stars measured at the parts per million level
(2010)
We report observations of the linear polarization of a sample of 49 nearby bright stars measured to sensitivities of between ∼1 and ∼ 4 × 10−6 . The majority of stars in the sample show measurable polarization, but most ...
Plänterwald : [Video and photographic installation]
(National Gallery of Canada, 2010)
The research output “Plänterwald” is an installation work consisting of an HD video projection with 4-channel sound, raised wood screen construction and a series of photographs. It is filmed on the site of a former GDR ...
The structure of the outer Galactic disc as revealed by IPHAS early A stars
(2010)
This study is an investigation of the stellar density profile of the Galactic disc in the anticentre direction. We select over 40 000 early A stars from INT/WFC Photometric Hα Survey of the Northern Galactic Plane (IPHAS) ...
Extended High Circular Polarization in the Orion Massive Star Forming Region: Implications for the Origin of Homochirality in the Solar System
(2010)
We present a wide-field (∼6′ × 6′) and deep near-infrared (K s band: 2.14 μm) circular polarization image in the Orion nebula, where massive stars and many low-mass stars are forming. Our results reveal that a high circular ...
