Poggianti, Bianca M., Desai, Vandana, Finn, Rose, Bamford, Steven, De Lucia, Gabriella, Varela, Jesus, ...
We investigate how the [O II] properties and the morphologies of galaxies in clusters and groups at z = 0.4–0.8 depend on projected local galaxy density, and compare with the field at similar...
Disk Sizes in a LCDM Universe (2008)
We introduce a model which uses semi-analytic techniques to trace formation and evolution of galaxy disks in their cosmological context. For the first time we model the growth of gas and stellar...

. We present spectroscopic observations of galaxies lying within 1 0 of QSO J2233--606 in the Hubble Deep Field South (HDF-S). Several are found to be coincident in redshift with absorption-line...
Simulating Weak Lensing By Large-Scale Structure (2007)

Ratio of nose blow results to intakes during the decommissioning of a facility at Dounreay (2007)
Spencer, David, Bull, Richard K., White, Simon
During the decommissioning of a large glove box facility at Dounreay, in addition to engineering and administration controls, workers wore pressurised suits to minimise their intake of radionuclides....

A Constraint-Based Approach to the Description & Detection of Fitness-for-Purpose. (2002)
This paper introduces the notion of fitness-for-purpose, presents a tractable, approximate approach to the recognition of fitness-for-purpose, and describes a working implementation using constraint...
To acquire knowledge that is fit for a specific purpose, it is very desirable to have a structured, declarative expression of the knowledge that is needed. This paper introduces a stand-alone...
