Design drivers for a wide-field multi-object spectrograph for the William Herschel Telescope
(2010)Wide-field multi-object spectroscopy is a high priority for European astronomy over the next decade. Most 8-10m telescopes have a small field of view, making 4-m class telescopes a particularly attractive option for ... -
Insightful thinking : Cognitive dynamics and material artifacts
(2009)We trace how cognition arises beyond the skin. Experimental work on insight problem solving is used to examine how external artifacts can be used to reach the goal of assembling a 'cheap necklace'. Instead of asking how ... -
The role of vehicle-nanoparticle interactions in topical drug delivery
(2010-11-15)Loading 'difficult to deliver' therapeutic agents into lipid nanoparticles (LN) is an attractive means to administer them to the skin. However, employing colloidal carriers to administer therapeutic agents from semi-solid ... -
The FOOTPRINT software tools: pesticide risk assessment and management in the EU at different spatial scales.
(Aristotele University Thessaloniki, 2009)In the EU-project FOOTPRINT three pesticide risk assessment and management tools were developed, for use at different spatial scales. The three FOOTPRINT tools share the same underlying science, based on the consistent ... -
SKYWAY '09: Awareness of the Sky/ The Sky as Awareness - International Light Festival, Impressions and Reflections on the Proceedings
(2009)Two artists, two astrophysicists, a historian of science, a musician, the Skyway Festival director and the Toruń 2016 director met over two days on the 15th and 16th of August in this beautiful gothic city to discuss the ... -
Pest–predator spatial relationships in winter rape: implications for integrated crop management.
(Wiley, 2000)The brassica pod midge (Dasineura brassicae) is an important and widespread pest of winter and spring oilseed rape throughout Europe. Pods infested by D brassicae larvae split prematurely, releasing seeds, and the larvae ... -
Assessing the environmental impact of different crop protection strategies
(2004)In 1993, a project was established to develop more sustainable arable farming systems. Fields were divided into two plots to compare the environmental and economic performance of conventional and integrated farming systems ... -
ACCORDANCE: A novel OFDMA-PON paradigm for ultra-high capacity converged wireline-wireless access networks.
(2010)This paper presents ACCORDANCE, a novel ultra-high capacity extended reach optical access network architecture based on OFDMA technology/protocols, implemented through the proper mix of state-of-the-art photonics and ... -
Paraglacial response of steep, sediment-mantled slopes to post-‘Little Ice Age’ glacier recession in the central Swiss Alps
(2006-02-25)This research assesses the morphological consequences of recent (post-‘Little Ice Age’) paraglacial reworking of valley-side sediment mantles in the European Alps. It aims to identify the extent and conditioning factors ... -
Net CO2 storage in mediterranean olive and peach orchards
(2005)Agricultural practices can play an important role in atmospheric CO2 emission and fixation. In this study, we present results on carbon fluxes in the biomass of two typical Mediterranean orchards indicating that proper ... -
Estimation of error in bankfull width comparisons from temporally sequenced raw and corrected aerial photographs
(2003)This study investigates the propagation of error through image-to-image comparison of 285 river bankfull width measurements of the Afon Trannon, mid-Wales. Bankfull width is quantified from both aerial photographs analysed ... -
Erosion risk associated with rapid and extensive agricultural clearances on dispersive materials in southeast Spain
(2003)This research explores the socio-economic, climatic and lithological components of the contemporary erosion problems in the Sorbas area of Almeria, Spain, and devises a mapping schedule to describe the particular risks ... -
Quantitative accuracy assessment of contextually filtered classified images
(2001)The use of post-classification contextual filters to increase the overall accuracy of classified remotely sensed imagery is a well known but under-used technique. Many practitioners have used a modal majority decision rule ... -
Slope–channel coupling between pipes, gullies and tributary channels in the Mocatán catchment badlands, Southeast Spain
(2008)The dispersive nature of the highly sodic silts of the Triassic-rich unit of the Góchar formation plays a fundamental role in the erosion of the Mocatán catchment badlands in Almería, where a rejuvenating pipe and incised ... -
Moderating accurate topographic EDM survey with expert-derived planimetric geomorphological information : a case study mapping soil pipes, Mocatan, SE Spain
(2008)This paper describes the mix of methods involved in the development of a detailed geomorphology map designed to facilitate the analysis and interpretation of an area or rapidly eroding soil pipe badlands in the Mocatan ... -
Sedimentary and tectonic architecture of a large push moraine : a case study from Hagafellsjökull-Eystri, Iceland
(2004)Using a combination of geological and geophysical techniques (Ground Penetrating Radar), we explore the tectonic architecture of a push moraine formed just after the 1890 Neoglacial ice maximum of Hagafellsjökull-Eystri, ... -
Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessment of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Anal Canal Before and After Chemoradiation: Can MRI Predict for Eventual Clinical Outcome?
(2010)Purpose: To describe the MRI appearances of squamous cell carcinoma of the anal canal before and after chemoradiation and to assess whether MRI features predict for clinical outcome. Methods and Materials: Thirty-five ... -
Ethical interpretations of management decision making in higher education
(2005)This paper explores the ethical dimensions of constraint and choice in management decision making at different levels, with a focus on how managers manage and are themselves managed in UK higher education, a sector of ... -
Aspects of Growth and Metabolism in a Suspension Culture of Acer pseudoplatanus (L. ) Grown on a Glycerol Carbon Source
(1976)A suspension culture of Acer pseudoplatanus cells was transferred from medium containing 2% (w/v) glucose to an identical one containing glycerol at 2% (w/v) as the sole carbon source. The patterns of cell number increase, ... -
