The Policies and Politics of Managed Migration: Exploring Mature Labour Migration from Central and Eastern Europe into the UK (2012)
Journal Article

Whilst studies have already focused on the inflow of labour migrants from Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries to the UK, most have centred on the experiences of younger migrants. Less attention has been paid to the motivations, experiences a...

Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 mu m full-orbit light curves of WASP-18 (2012)
Journal Article

We present new lightcurves of the massive hot Jupiter system WASP-18 obtained with the Spitzer spacecraft covering the entire orbit at 3.6 micron and 4.5 micron. These lightcurves are used to measure the amplitude, shape and phase of the thermal phas... Read More about Spitzer 3.6 and 4.5 mu m full-orbit light curves of WASP-18.

Very massive stars and the Eddington Limit (2012)
Journal Article

We use contemporary evolutionary models for Very Massive Stars (VMS) to assess whether the Eddington limit constrains the upper stellar mass limit. We also consider the interplay between mass and age for the wind properties and spectral morphology of... Read More about Very massive stars and the Eddington Limit.

The privileged burial of the Pava Pieve (Siena, 8th Century AD) (2012)
Journal Article

RATIONALE The 6th archaeological excavation campaign performed at the 'Pieve di Pava' (San Giovanni d'Asso, Siena, Italy) unearthed a privileged stone burial of a single individual (US 2378), covered by a monolithic slab and placed in front of an al...

Synthesis and Scalable Conversion of l-Iduronamides to Heparin-Related Di- and Tetrasaccharides (2012)
Journal Article

A diastereomerically pure cyanohydrin, preparable on kilogram scale, is efficiently converted in one step into a novel l-iduronamide. A new regioselective acylation of this iduronamide and a new mild amide hydrolysis method mediated by amyl nitrite e...

Lake and catchment response to Holocene environmental change: spatial variability along a climate gradient in southwest Greenland (2012)
Journal Article

The Kangerlussuaq area of southwest Greenland is a lake-rich landscape that covers a climate gradient: a more maritime, cooler and wetter coastal zone contrasts with a dry, continental interior. Radiocarbon-dated sediment sequences (covering ~11,200–...

Atmospheric CO2 over the last 1000 years: A high-resolution record from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide ice core (2012)
Journal Article

We report a decadally resolved record of atmospheric CO2 concentration for the last 1000 years, obtained from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) Divide shallow ice core. The most prominent feature of the pre-industrial period is a rapid ~7 ppm decre...
