The 1 : √2 mode interaction and heteroclinic networks in Boussinesq convection
(Elsevier, 2007)Methods of equivariant bifurcation theory are applied to Boussinesq convection in a plane layer with stress-free horizontal boundaries and an imposed square lattice periodicity in the horizontal directions. We consider ... -
10,000 particles
(University of Exeter, 2012-12-14)Subset of 10,000 particles from high resolution galaxy simulation followed over time. -
The 2012 Madeira dengue outbreak: epidemiological determinants and future epidemic potential
(Public Library of Science, 2014-08)Dengue, a vector-borne viral disease of increasing global importance, is classically associated with tropical and sub-tropical regions around the world. Urbanisation, globalisation and climate trends, however, are facilitating ... -
The 2014 interferometric imaging beauty contest
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE) -, 2014-07-24)Here we present the results of the 6th biennial optical interferometry imaging beauty contest. Taking advantage of a unique opportunity, the red supergiant VY CMa and the Mira variable R Car were observed in the astronomical ... -
The 21st century decline in damaging European windstorms
(European Geosciences Union (EGU) / Copernicus Publications, 2016-08-29)A decline in damaging European windstorms has led to a reduction in insured losses in the 21st century. This decline is explored by identifying a damaging windstorm characteristic and investigating how and why this ... -
2D and 3D polar plume analysis from the three vantage positions of STEREO/EUVI A, B, and SOHO/EIT
(Springer Verlag, 2011-11-17)Polar plumes are seen as elongated objects starting at the solar polar regions. Here, we analyze these objects from a sequence of images taken simultaneously by the three spacecraft telescopes STEREO/EUVI A and B, and ... -
2D Material Liquid Crystals for Optoelectronics and Photonics
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2017-07-21)The merging of the materials science paradigms of liquid crystals and 2D materials promises superb new opportunities for the advancement of the fields of optoelectronics and photonics. In this review, we summarise the ... -
3-D Vector Processing of Magnetometer and Inclinometer Data
(British Cave Research Association (BCRA), 1996-10)Cave surveying currently relies on visually reading a compass and clinometer. The price of magnetometers and solid-state inclinometers is falling rapidly; thus an electronic compass/clinometer with automatic data-logging ... -
3D electron density distribution in the solar corona during solar minima: assessment for more realistic solar wind modelling
(American Astronomical Society, 2015-11-17)Knowledge of the electron density distribution in the solar corona put constraints on the magnetic field configurations for coronal modeling and on initial conditions for solar wind modeling. We work with polarized ... -
4-dimensional functional profiling in the convulsant-treated larval zebrafish brain
(Springer Nature, 2017-07-26)Functional neuroimaging, using genetically-encoded Ca(2+) sensors in larval zebrafish, offers a powerful combination of high spatiotemporal resolution and higher vertebrate relevance for quantitative neuropharmacological ... -
40Ar/39Ar phlogopite geochronology of lamprophyre dykes in Cornwall, UK: new age constraints on Early Permian post-collisional magmatism in the Rhenohercynian Zone, SW England
(Geological Society, 2015-06-26)The spatial and temporal association of post-collisional granites and lamprophyre dykes is a common but enigmatic relationship in many orogenic belts, including the Variscan orogenic belt of SW England. The geology of SW ... -
500x CPV Receiver with Integrated Micro-Finned Heat Sink
(The Solar Energy Society (UK-ISES), 2015-04)Introduction The main aim of concentrating photovoltaics (CPV) is reducing the amount of the expensive semicondutive material by replacing part of it with a reflecting optics and, thus, increasing the density of the ... -
Ab initio calculations of surface phonons of the hydrogen-terminated Si(110)-(1 × 1) surface
(Elsevier, 2015-12-21)A first-principles study, using a linear-response approach based on the pseudopotential method and the generalised gradient approximation, has been made to examine the phonon spectrum of the hydrogen-terminated Si(110)-(1 ... -
Ab initio investigation of BCS-type superconductivity in LuNi2 B2 C -type superconductors
(American Physical Society, 2015-08-20)Ab initio pseudopotential calculations have been made to calculate the structural, electronic, vibrational, and superconducting properties of the borocarbide superconductors RM2B2C(R=Lu,La,Y;M=Ni,Pd,Pt). Using the electronic ... -
Ab initio investigation of superconductivity in orthorhombic MgPtSi
(Elseviert, 2016-07-15)We have performed an ab initio study of electronic, vibrational and superconducting properties of the orthorhombic MgPtSi by employing the density functional theory, a linear-response formalism, and the plane-wave ... -
Abrasion process between a fibre mooring line and a corroded steel element during the transit and commissioning of a Marine Renewable Energy device
(Elsevier, 2015-11-18)The interaction between fibre rope and steel parts on vessels (fairlead and roller) is technically well understood but not commonly published in codes or practised by mariners. What appears to be a smooth steel surface to ... -
Absence of Anderson localization in certain random lattices
(American Physical Society, 2017-08-10)We report on the transition between an Anderson localized regime and a conductive regime in a one-dimensional microwave scattering system with correlated disorder. We show experimentally that when long-range correlations ... -
Absorption in dipole-lattice models of dielectrics
(American Physical Society, 2016-05-05)We develop a classical microscopic model of a dielectric. The model features nonlinear interaction terms between polarizable dipoles and lattice vibrations. The lattice vibrations are found to act as a pseudoreservoir, ...
