Stellar population variations in the Milky Way's stellar halo
(2010-12)
If the stellar halos of disk galaxies are built up from the disruption of dwarf galaxies, models predict highly structured variations in the stellar populations within these halos. We test this prediction by studying the ...
Investigating the merger origin of early-type galaxies using ultra-deep optical images
(2010-12-01)
The mass assembly of galaxies leaves various imprints on their surroundings, such as shells, streams and tidal tails. The frequency and properties of these fine structures depend on the mechanism driving the mass assembly: ...
Molecular gas and star formation in local early-type galaxies
(2010-12-01)
The molecular gas content of local early-type galaxies is constrained and discussed in relation to their evolution. First, as part of the ATLAS survey, we present the first complete, large (260 objects), volume-limited ...
The X-ray spectra of the luminous LMXBs in NGC 3379 : field and globular cluster sources
(2010-12)
From a deep multi-epoch Chandra observation of the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379 we report the spectral properties of eight luminous LMXBs (L-X > 1.2 x 10(38) erg s(-1)). We also present a set of spectral simulations, produced ...
Adaptation to increasing severity of phoma stem canker on winter oilseed rape in the UK under climate change
(2010-12)
Various adaptation strategies are available that will minimize or negate predicted climate change-related increases in yield loss from phoma stem canker in UK winter oilseed rape (OSR) production. A number of forecasts for ...
Overview of optical local access networks development and design challenges
(2010-12-01)
Local access network technologies tend to take advantage of the potentially huge capabilities of fiber communication to deliver faster and more various services to end users. There has been considerable research effort in ...
Animated beings : enlightenment entomology for girls
(2010-12)
This short exploration of Enlightenment entomology for girls draws on the epistolary and dialogic form that was so crucial to young women's engagement with natural science in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth ...
Self management in atypical mole syndrome : qualitative findings from a pilot study
(2010-12)
Background: Atypical mole syndrome (AMS) is the most significant risk factor for melanoma. Although the incidence of melanoma is rising, with early detection it is more likely to be curable. Regular systematic skin ...
Changing places : Warping between perspectives
(2010-12)
The warp device is commonly applied as a design feature within videogames. It allows the player's avatar to be transported through the gameworld changing the relationship with the gamespace. Moving the avatar through the ...
Interaction between polygalacturonase-inhibiting protein and jasmonic acid during defense activation in tomato against Botrytis cinerea
(2010-12-01)
Oligogalacturonic acids (OGAs) generated from in vitro interaction between fungal polygalacturonase (PG) and bean PG-inhibiting protein (PGIP) were shown to activate phytoalexin biosynthesis in soybean. Based on this ...
