Disc-Magnetosphere interactions in Cataclysmic Variable Stars (2007)
Journal Article
(2007). Disc-Magnetosphere interactions in Cataclysmic Variable Stars. Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, https://doi.org/10.1017/S1743921307009684

I review, from an observational perspective, the interactions of accretion discs with magnetic fields in cataclysmic variable stars. I start with systems where the accretion flows via a stream, and discuss the circumstances in which the stream forms... Read More about Disc-Magnetosphere interactions in Cataclysmic Variable Stars.

Forensic geology: getting geological principals and practices into the classroom (2007)
Journal Article
Pringle. (2007). Forensic geology: getting geological principals and practices into the classroom

Forensic science features in a number of popular television series. This has led to a widespread interest in the application of scientific principles and practice to the world of crime detection and has resulted in a tremendous increase in forensic s...

An isotopic method for testing the influence of leaf litter quality on carbon fluxes during decomposition (2007)
Journal Article
(2007). An isotopic method for testing the influence of leaf litter quality on carbon fluxes during decomposition. Oecologia, 155 -166. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00442-007-0815-y

During microbial breakdown of leaf litter a fraction of the C lost by the litter is not released to the atmosphere as CO2 but remains in the soil as microbial byproducts. The amount of this fraction and the factors influencing its size are not yet cl...

'Sending Dollars Shows Feeling' - Emotions and Economies in Filipino Migration (2007)
Journal Article
McKay. (2007). 'Sending Dollars Shows Feeling' - Emotions and Economies in Filipino Migration. Mobilities, 175 - 194. https://doi.org/10.1080/17450100701381532

This paper analyses the conceptualization of gender, relationships, and emotions that underpin ‘care chains’ approaches to Filipino labour migration. In a case study of long-distance intimacy and economic transfers in an extended Filipino family, I s...

Assessing depleted uranium (DU) contamination of soil, plants and earthworms at UK weapons testing sites. (2007)
Journal Article
Oliver, I., Graham, M., MacKenzie, A., Ellam, R., & Farmer, J. (2007). Assessing depleted uranium (DU) contamination of soil, plants and earthworms at UK weapons testing sites. Journal of Environmental Monitoring, 740 - 748. https://doi.org/10.1039/B700719A

Depleted uranium (DU) weapons testing programmes have been conducted at two locations within the UK. An investigation was therefore carried out to assess the extent of any environmental contamination arising from these test programmes using both alph...

Introduction: Finding ‘the Field’: the Problem of Locality in a Mobile World (2007)
Journal Article
McKay. (2007). Introduction: Finding ‘the Field’: the Problem of Locality in a Mobile World. Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology, 197 - 202. https://doi.org/10.1080/14442210600965141

Place is usually considered the backdrop for motion—the ‘where’ that people move to or from. Yet contemporary processes of migration and circulation produce increasingly porous and even mobile places. Mobility offers us new ways to perceive distance—...

A new AMS system has been installed at Center for Isotopic Research on Cultural and Environmental Heritage (CIRCE) in Caserta/Italy. It was built by National Electrostatics Corp. Middleton, WI/USA, and arrived at CIRCE in the middle of January 2005;... Read More about A new AMS facility in Caserta/Italy.

Translocal Circulation: Place and Subjectivity in an Extended Filipino Community (2007)
Journal Article
McKay. (2007). Translocal Circulation: Place and Subjectivity in an Extended Filipino Community. Asia Pacific Journal of Anthropology, 265 - 278. https://doi.org/10.1080/14442210600979357

As migration and mobility produce new subject positions, they transform and extend locality and create both new subjective experiences of place and new subjectivities. This paper explores the culture of circulation that emerges between a migrant send... Read More about Translocal Circulation: Place and Subjectivity in an Extended Filipino Community.
