Changing values? : Early retirement and the new universities
(1998)
This article examines the potential impact of the recent changes to the Teachers Superannuation Scheme (TSS) and the resulting wave of early retirements, on the nature of academic work and cultures in the ‘new’ universities. ...
Near-infrared imaging polarimetry of Cygnus A
(1998)
We present a 2.2-μm polarization image of the nuclear regions of Cygnus A. The degree of polarization in the central 1 arcsec is (4.1±0.50) per cent, at a position angle of (23.6±3.6)°, approximately perpendicular to the ...
Shortening during stimulation vs. during relaxation : How do the costs compare?
(1998)
White muscle fibres from dogfish were used to investigate the energetic cost of shortening by fully active muscle and by relaxing muscle. The muscle preparation was tetanized for 0.6 s and shortened by 1 mm (about 15% L0) ...
Application of global optimisation to particle identification using light scattering
(1998)
Numerical methods of solving the inverse light scattering problem for spheres are presented. The methods are based on two stochastic global optimization techniques: Deep's random search and the multilevel single-linkage ...
Entanglement in frequency standards and quantum information theory
(1998)
Entanglement is a key property of quantum information theory. Here we describe ways to quantify the amount of entanglement.We point out the statistical interpretation of these entanglement measures and some connections ...
The Eclipsing Binary System CM Draconis
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1998)
We compare observations from 0.40 to 2.41um of the binary system CM Draconis with synthetic spectra computed using the stellar atmosphere code PHOENIX.
