Widening the gap between measurement and modelling of secondary organic aerosol properties?
(2010)
The link between measured sub-saturated hygroscopicity and cloud activation potential of secondary organic aerosol particles produced by the chamber photo-oxidation of alpha-pinene in the presence or absence of ammonium ...
Accounting for Merger : The Case of HM Revenue and Customs
(2010)
In 2004 the UK Central Government announced merger of its two main central tax departments, the Inland Revenue, and HM Customs & Excise. The two big departments had different historical origins and administrative structures. ...
Parallel signal processing with S-Net
(2010)
We argue that programming high-end stream-processing applications requires a form of coordination language that enables the designer to represent interactions between stream-processing functions asynchronously. We further ...
The long rapid decay phase of the extended emission from the short GRB 080503
(2010)
GRB 080503 was classified as a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) with extended emission. The origin of such extended emission (found in about a quarter of Swift short GRBs) is still unclear and may provide some clues to the ...
The effects of opposition and gender on knee kinematics and ground reaction force during landing from volleyball block jumps
(2010)
The aim of this study was to examine the effect of apposition and gender on knee kinematics and ground reaction force during landing from a volleyball block pimp. Six female and six male university volleyball players ...
Parallaxes and physical properties of 11 mid-to-late T dwarfs
(2010)
Aims. We present parallaxes of 11 mid-to-late T dwarfs observed in the UKIRT Infrared Deep Sky Survey. We use these results to test the reliability of model predictions in magnitude–color space, determine a magnitude-spectral ...
Training in SMEs and its relationship to profitability
(2010)
The continuous development of employee potential is dependent on training at every level to acquire improved skills. While attention has been devoted to its contribution within organisations, there is a dearth of research ...
Diversity and social integration on higher education campuses in India and the UK : student and staff perspectives
(2010)
This paper reports findings from the first year of a UK-India Education and Research Initiative (UKIERI), 'Widening participation: Diversity, isolation or integration in Higher Education?' Over a three-year period this ...
North-South divide : contrasting impacts of climate change on crop yields in Scotland and England
(2010)
Effects of climate change on productivity of agricultural crops in relation to diseases that attack them are difficult to predict because they are complex and non-linear. To investigate these crop-disease-climate interactions, ...
