Rediscussion of eclipsing binaries. Paper V. The triple system V455 Aurigae (2021)
Journal Article
Southworth, J. (2021). Rediscussion of eclipsing binaries. Paper V. The triple system V455 Aurigae. Observatory, 141(1283), 190-203

V455 Aur is a detached eclipsing binary containing two F-stars in a 3.15-d orbit with a small eccentricity. Its eclipses were discovered in data from the Hipparcos satellite and a spectroscopic orbit was obtained by Griffin (2001, 2013). Griffin foun... Read More about Rediscussion of eclipsing binaries.

Beyond narrativism: the historical past and why it can be known (2021)
Journal Article
D'Oro. (2021). Beyond narrativism: the historical past and why it can be known

This paper examines narrativism’s claim that the historical past cannot be known once and for all because it must be continuously re-described from the standpoint of the present. We argue that this claim is based on a non sequitur. We take narrativis... Read More about Beyond narrativism: the historical past and why it can be known.

The potential of bird feeders to be used for ecological monitoring of vectors for Phytophthora ramorum in garden and woodland environments (2021)
Thesis
Tosdevin, M. W. (2021). The potential of bird feeders to be used for ecological monitoring of vectors for Phytophthora ramorum in garden and woodland environments. (Thesis). Keele University

Bird feeders were investigated for their use in determining whether birds are vectoring the tree disease Phytophthora ramorum, and whether feeders are acting as nodes of spore transfer. This was done by studying feeders at residences in Keele Univers...
