‘Adults at Risk’: ‘Vulnerability’ by Any Other Name? (2018)
Journal Article
Pritchard-Jones. (2018). ‘Adults at Risk’: ‘Vulnerability’ by Any Other Name?. Journal of Adult Protection, 47-58. https://doi.org/10.1108/JAP-07-2017-0029

Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore and critique the conceptual and terminological shift – particularly from ‘vulnerability’ to ‘adult at risk’ - in adult safeguarding under the Care Act 2014 and the Social Services and Well-being (Wales...

Remarkable increase in the rate of the catalytic epoxidation of electron deficient styrenes through the addition of Sc(OTf)3 to the MnTMTACN catalyst. (2018)
Journal Article
Watkinson. (2018). Remarkable increase in the rate of the catalytic epoxidation of electron deficient styrenes through the addition of Sc(OTf)3 to the MnTMTACN catalyst. Chemical Communications, 1461 -1464. https://doi.org/10.1039/C7CC09698D

The effect of Lewis acids on the catalytic activity of [Mn2(µ-O)3(TMTACN)2](PF6)2 in the epoxidation of styrenes using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidant has shown that the addition of Sc(OTf)3 at low catalytic loading results in a very significant inc...

Using principal component analysis to understand the variability of PDS 456 (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). Using principal component analysis to understand the variability of PDS 456. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 108 - 114. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stx2803

We present a spectral-variability analysis of the low-redshift quasar PDS 456 using principal component analysis. In the XMM–Newton data, we find a strong peak in the first principal component at the energy of the Fe absorption line from the highly b...

We have revisited the sdB+K-star long-period binary PG 1018–047 based on 20 new high-resolution VLT/UVES spectra that provided regular coverage over a period of more than 26 months. We refine the period and establish that the orbit is significantly e... Read More about Evolutionary Constraints on the Long-period Subdwarf B Binary PG 1018–047.

A New Relativistic Component of the Accretion Disk Wind in PDS 456 (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). A New Relativistic Component of the Accretion Disk Wind in PDS 456. Astrophysical Journal Letters, L8 -?. https://doi.org/10.3847/2041-8213/aaaae1

Past X-ray observations of the nearby luminous quasar PDS 456 (at z = 0.184) have revealed a wide angle accretion disk wind, with an outflow velocity of ~-0.25 c . Here, we unveil a new, relativistic component of the wind through hard X-ray observati... Read More about A New Relativistic Component of the Accretion Disk Wind in PDS 456.

The Variable Fast Soft X-Ray Wind in PG 1211+143 (2018)
Journal Article
(2018). The Variable Fast Soft X-Ray Wind in PG 1211+143. Astrophysical Journal, 28 - ?. https://doi.org/10.3847/1538-4357/aaa776

The analysis of a series of seven observations of the nearby ( z = 0.0809) QSO PG 1211+143, taken with the Reflection Grating Spectrometer (RGS) onboard XMM-Newton in 2014, are presented. The high-resolution soft X-ray spectrum, with a total exposure... Read More about The Variable Fast Soft X-Ray Wind in PG 1211+143.
