'Seize that chance!' Leaving home and transitions to higher education (2005)
Journal Article

This paper interrogates assumptions surrounding the practices of leaving home and going to higher education in England and Wales. As more students from non-traditional backgrounds are encouraged to go to university, this is leading to greater diversi... Read More about 'Seize that chance!' Leaving home and transitions to higher education.

Pre-suprenova evolution of rotating massive stars (2005)
Conference Proceeding

The Geneva evolutionary code has been modified to study the advanced stages (Ne, O, Si burnings) of rotating massive stars. Here we present the results of four 20 solar mass stars at solar metallicity with initial rotational velocities of 0, 100, 200... Read More about Pre-suprenova evolution of rotating massive stars.

Interclinician variation in diabetes foot assessment--a national lottery? (2005)
Journal Article

AIM: The aim was to evaluate variation among clinicians in the outcome of assessments of foot health status and risk status in patients with diabetes. METHODS: Seventeen clinicians assessed three patients with diabetes using a standardized assessment... Read More about Interclinician variation in diabetes foot assessment--a national lottery?.

Regression techniques for the prediction of lower limb kinematics. (2005)
Journal Article

This work presents a novel and extensive investigation of mathematical regression techniques, for the prediction of laboratory-type kinematic measurements during human gait, from wearable measurement devices, such as gyroscopes and accelerometers. Sp... Read More about Regression techniques for the prediction of lower limb kinematics..

Automated design of robust discriminant analysis classifier for foot pressure lesions using kinematic data. (2005)
Journal Article

In the recent years, the use of motion tracking systems for acquisition of functional biomechanical gait data, has received increasing interest due to the richness and accuracy of the measured kinematic information. However, costs frequently restrict... Read More about Automated design of robust discriminant analysis classifier for foot pressure lesions using kinematic data..

PopII 1/2 stars: very high N14 and low O16 yields (2005)
Journal Article

Nine 20 Mo models were computed with metallicities ranging from solar, through $Z=10^{-5}$ ([Fe/H]=~-3.1) down to $Z=10^{-8}$ ([Fe/H]=~-6.1) and with initial rotational velocities between 0 and 600 km/s to study the impact of initial metallicity and...

The emergence of manipulative experiments in ecological spider research (1684-1973) (2005)
Journal Article

The history of spider ecology is discussed from its early beginnings in 1684 when the natural historian Martin Lister published his observations, to the post-war period up until 1973 when ecological spider research gathered momentum. While there have... Read More about The emergence of manipulative experiments in ecological spider research (1684-1973).

Improved Bayesian Approach for Face Recognition (2005)
Conference Proceeding

In subspace face recognition, PCA, LDA and Bayesian are the most commonly used methods. Each of them has their own advantages and disadvantages in recognizing human faces. Their recognition rates depend much on the methodologies used in selecting/tra... Read More about Improved Bayesian Approach for Face Recognition.

Detection of secondary predation by PCR analyses of the gut contents of invertebrate generalist predators (2005)
Journal Article

Predation by generalist predators is difficult to study in the field because of the complex effects of positive and negative interactions within and between predator species and guilds. Predation can be monitored by molecular means, through identific... Read More about Detection of secondary predation by PCR analyses of the gut contents of invertebrate generalist predators.

Stellar evolution with rotation XIII: Predicted GRB rates at various Z (2005)
Journal Article

We present the evolution of rotation in models of massive single stars covering a wide range of masses and metallicities. These models reproduce very well observations during the early stages of the evolution (in particular WR populations and ratio b...

A glow on Pythagoras’ curtain: a composer’s perspective on electroacoustic music with video (2005)
Presentation / Conference

Composers of Electroacoustic Music worldwide seem to be drawn almost instinctively to a new, exciting media which combines electroacoustic sounds with the moving image, captured with digital cameras, processed with off-the-shelf commercial software o...

Idealism and the Philosophy of Mind (2005)
Journal Article

This paper defends an idealist form of non-reductivism in the philosophy of mind. I refer to it as a kind of conceptual dualism without substance dualism. I contrast this idealist alternative with the two most widespread forms of non-reductivism: mul... Read More about Idealism and the Philosophy of Mind.

There are no wrong answers: an investigation into the assessment of candidates’ responses to essay‐based examinations (2005)
Journal Article

Essay‐based examinations form a cornerstone of the public assessment system in the UK, but comparatively little research has been conducted into the processes involved in designing, answering and appraising essay‐based questions/responses. This study... Read More about There are no wrong answers: an investigation into the assessment of candidates’ responses to essay‐based examinations.

Synthesis of the Beryllium 3131A Spectral Region (2005)
Journal Article

The Beryllium spectral region of the Sun, Procyon and 4 stars in the open cluster NGC6633 up to Teff = 7500K have been synthesised using ATLAS9 model atmospheres and the MOOG spectral synthesis program. The line list used for these syntheses has bee... Read More about Synthesis of the Beryllium 3131A Spectral Region.

Teff and log g Determinations (2005)
Journal Article

A discussion on the determination of effective temperature (Teff) and surface gravity (log g) is presented. The observational requirements for model-independent fundamental parameters are summarized, including an assessment of the accuracy of these v... Read More about Teff and log g Determinations.
