The drying phase during the manufacture of ceramic pieces is often the point of failure owing to the formation of cracks. In this study, non-destructive microfocus X-ray imaging has been employed to study the onset of cracking in porcelain and correl...

Background: The short arm of chromosome 3 is thought to include one or more tumour suppressor genes (TSGs), since carcinoma of various tissues display deletions in this region. Many genes mapping to this region have recently been identified, includin...

The effect of N-doping on the microstructure and coercivity of the 'free' Fe layer in Fe/insulator/Fe trilayers has been examined. It was found that N-doping leads to a magnetic softening of the Fe layer and a corresponding reduction in the grain siz...

On the anomaly of Balmer line profiles of A-type stars. Fundamental binary systems (2002)
Journal Article
Smalley, B., B. Gardiner, R., Kupka, F., & S. Bessell, M. (2002). On the anomaly of Balmer line profiles of A-type stars. Fundamental binary systems. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 395(2), https://doi.org/10.1051/0004-6361%3A20021330

In previous work, Gardiner et al. (1999) found evidence for a discrepancy between the Teff obtained from Balmer lines with that from photometry and fundamental values for A-type stars. An investigation into this anomaly is presented using Balmer line... Read More about On the anomaly of Balmer line profiles of A-type stars. Fundamental binary systems.

Candidate tumour suppressor LUCA-15 can regulate multiple apoptotic pathways (2002)
