Dynamical shear instability (2004)
Journal Article

The dynamical shear instability is an important mixing process in the advanced stages of the evolution of massive stars. We calculated different models of 15 Mo with an initial rotational velocity, v(rot,ini)= 300 km/s to investigate its efficiency.... Read More about Dynamical shear instability.

Using Balmer line profiles to investigate convection in A and F stars (2004)
Journal Article

Balmer lines are an important diagnostic of stellar atmospheric structure, since they are formed at a wide range of depths within the atmosphere. The different Balmer lines are formed at slightly different depths making them useful atmospheric diagno... Read More about Using Balmer line profiles to investigate convection in A and F stars.

Model atmosphere analyses of post-common envelope stars (2004)
Journal Article

Understanding post-common-envelope evolution is important in the studies of close-binary systems. The majority of all interacting binaries with a compact object in their system (e.g. cataclysmic variables, X-ray binaries) are thought to have passed t...

Sagittal plane compensations for artificially induced limitation of the first metatarsophalangeal joint: a preliminary study. (2004)
Journal Article

This study was undertaken to establish whether reduced dorsiflexion at the first metatarsophalangeal joint affects sagittal plane kinematics at the ankle, knee, and hip. Twenty individuals with symptom-free metatarsophalangeal joints were studied as...

Q-angle undervalued? The relationship between Q-angle and medio-lateral position of the patella. (2004)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: For an accurate quadriceps angle measurement, the patella must be centralised in the femoral trochlear groove, numerous authors have described lateral displacement of the patella in patellofemoral pain patients, this leads to the intrigui...

Young stars and their circumstellar disks in the Sigma Orionis cluster (2004)
Conference Proceeding

The sigma Orionis cluster is a young association evolving under the disruptive influence of its massive O-star namesake. We are analysing this cluster as part of a program to characterise the influence of O-stars on the early stages of stellar evolut...

Virtual geological outcrops - Fieldwork and analysis made less exhaustive? (2004)
Other

For geologists studying outcrops in the field, there is an ever-increasing need for the acquisition of accurate and comprehensive data, whatever their purpose. Fortunately, this need is mirrored by an expanding range of digital data capturing technol... Read More about Virtual geological outcrops - Fieldwork and analysis made less exhaustive?.

Yields of rotating stars at solar metallicity (2004)
Journal Article

We present a new set of stellar yields obtained from rotating stellar models at solar metallicity covering the massive star range (12-60 solar masses). The stellar models were calculated with the latest version of the Geneva stellar evolution code de... Read More about Yields of rotating stars at solar metallicity.

Studies on the Role of Fluoride Ion vs Reaction Concentration in Zeolite Synthesis (2004)
Journal Article

This work is an experimental response to an intriguing paper recently published by Catlow and co-workers, which looked at the computational feasibility of fluorine location in three different all-silica zeotypes (Attfield, M. P.; Catlow, C. R. A.; So... Read More about Studies on the Role of Fluoride Ion vs Reaction Concentration in Zeolite Synthesis.

Male Reproductive Health: a village based study of camp attenders in rural India (2004)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: A paucity of information about male reproductive health and a perceived interest in involvement among local men provided the impetus for carrying out a village based male reproductive health camp. The aim was to investigate men's willingn... Read More about Male Reproductive Health: a village based study of camp attenders in rural India.

Mathematical Theory of Recursive Symbol Systems. Technical Report GEN-0401. (2004)
Book

This paper introduces a new type of graph grammar for representing recursively structured two-dimensional geometric patterns, for the purposes of syntactic pattern recognition. The grammars are noise-tolerant, in the sense that they can accommodate p... Read More about Mathematical Theory of Recursive Symbol Systems. Technical Report GEN-0401..

Stellar evolution with rotation XII: Pre-supernova models (2004)
Journal Article

We describe the latest developments of the Geneva stellar evolution code in order to model the pre-supernova evolution of rotating massive stars. Rotating and non-rotating stellar models at solar metallicity with masses equal to 12, 15, 20, 25, 40 an... Read More about Stellar evolution with rotation XII: Pre-supernova models.

PEDRo: a database for storing, searching and disseminating experimental proteomics data. (2004)
Journal Article

BACKGROUND: Proteomics is rapidly evolving into a high-throughput technology, in which substantial and systematic studies are conducted on samples from a wide range of physiological, developmental, or pathological conditions. Reference maps from 2D g... Read More about PEDRo: a database for storing, searching and disseminating experimental proteomics data..

A cross-dispersed spectrophotometer with CCD detector and its automated 0.5-m telescope at the Fairborn Observatory, now under construction, should begin observations in 6 to 9 months. The Citadel ASTRA Telescope will be able to observe Vega the prim... Read More about The ASTRA Spectrophotometer: A July 2004 Progress Report.

Is acupuncture a useful adjunct to physiotherapy for older adults with knee pain?: the "acupuncture, physiotherapy and exercise" (APEX) study [ISRCTN88597683] (2004)
Journal Article

Acupuncture is a popular non-pharmacological modality for treating musculoskeletal pain. Physiotherapists are one of the largest groups of acupuncture providers within the NHS, and they commonly use it alongside advice and exercise. Conclusive eviden...

Observations of convection in A-type stars (2004)
Journal Article

Convection and turbulence in stellar atmospheres have a significant effect on the emergent flux from A-type stars. The recent theoretical advancements in convection modelling have proved a challenge to the observers to obtain measurements with suffic... Read More about Observations of convection in A-type stars.

The Li Overabundance of J37: Diffusion or Accretion? (2004)
Journal Article

In September 2002 the discovery of a super Li-rich F-dwarf (J37) in NGC 6633, an iron poor analogue of the better studied Hyades and Praecepe open clusters, was announced. This unique star was thought to be the smoking gun for the action of diffusion... Read More about The Li Overabundance of J37: Diffusion or Accretion?.
