Rationalisation, disenchantment and re-enchantment : Engaging with Weber’s sociology of modernity
(Routledge, 2010)
Max Weber is seen as one of the founders of sociology, making up a triumvirate of ‘founding fathers’ with Marx and Durkheim. However, this does not capture the scope and ambition, nor the emotional engagement of Weber’s ...
Henry Addison’s advice manuals for expatriates and the construction of identity in 19th-century British communities on the Continent
(Pisa University Press, 2010)
This chapter analyses the advice that Henry Addison (1805-76) provides the readers of his two advice manuals for prospective 19th-century British expatriates on the continent on the issues of identity and Englishness. Light ...
Anyone out there? Galactic halo post-AGB stars
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2010)
We present results of a survey of post-asymptotic giant branch stars (post-AGBs) at high galactic latitude. To date, few post-AGB stars are known throughout the Galaxy and the number of known members of the older populations ...
2-Hexadecynoic acid inhibits plasmodial FAS-II enzymes and arrests erythrocytic and liver stage Plasmodium infections
(2010)
Acetylenic fatty acids are known to display several biological activities, but their antimalarial activity has remained unexplored. In this study, we synthesized the 2-, 5-, 6-, and 9-hexadecynoic acids (HDAs) and evaluated ...
Astrophysical S-Factors and Reaction Rates of Threshold (p,n)-Reactions on (99-102)Ru
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2010)
Astrophysical S-factors of (p,n) reactions on (99)Ru, (100)Ru, (101)Ru, and (102)Ru were derived from the sum of experimental isomeric and ground states cross sections measured in the incident proton energy range of 5-9 ...
Herschel-ATLAS: Dust temperature and redshift distribution of SPIRE and PACS detected sources using submillimetre colours
(2010)
We present colour–colour diagrams of detected sources in the Herschel-ATLAS science demonstration field from 100 to 500 μm using both PACS and SPIRE. We fit isothermal modified black bodies to the spectral energy distribution ...
Dynamic foams in topical drug delivery
(2010)
Objectives: Pharmaceutical foams are not new inventions and their application in topical therapy can be traced back three decades. However, foam formulations have been gaining in popularity with over 100 patents published ...
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 ...
