The race for Muslim hearts and minds : a social movement analysis of the U.S. war on terror and popular support in the Muslim world
(University of St Andrews, 2010-06-22) - ThesisAccording to conventional wisdom winning hearts and minds is one of the most important goals for defeating terrorism. However, despite repeated claims about U.S. efforts to build popular support as part of the war on terror ... -
Race in a godless world : atheists and racial thought in Britain and the United States, c. 1850-1914
(University of St Andrews, 2017) - Thesis“Race in a Godless World” examines the racial thought of atheists in Britain and the United States from about 1850 to 1914. While there have been no comprehensive studies of atheists’ views on race, there is a trend in the ... -
RadarCat : Radar Categorization for input & interaction
(ACM, 2016-10-16) - Conference itemIn RadarCat we present a small, versatile radar-based system for material and object classification which enables new forms of everyday proximate interaction with digital devices. We demonstrate that we can train and ... -
Radiation carcinogenesis and delayed lethal damage in a human thyroid epithelial cell line
(University of St Andrews, 1999) - ThesisThe human thyroid epithelial cell HTori-3 has been transformed with doses of either chronic and acute x-rays or strontium beta particles. Models of the past have relied upon animal cell systems to mimic in vitro ... -
Radiation pressure on a moving body : beyond the Doppler effect
(2012-11) - Journal articleThe dependence of macroscopic radiation pressure on the velocity of the object being pushed is commonly attributed to the Doppler effect. This need not be the case, and here we highlight velocity-dependent radiation pressure ... -
Radiation thermo-chemical models of protoplanetary discs IV. Modelling CO ro-vibrational emission from Herbig Ae discs
(2013-03) - Journal articleContext. The carbon monoxide (CO) ro-vibrational emission from discs around Herbig Ae stars and T Tauri stars with strong ultraviolet emissions suggests that fluorescence pumping from the ground X1Σ+ to the electronic A1Π ... -
Radicals and reactionaries : the polarisation of community and government in the name of public safety and security
(University of St Andrews, 2013-06-25) - ThesisThe contemporary threat of terrorism has changed the ways in which government and the public view the world. Unlike the existential threat from nation states in previous centuries, today, government and the public spend ... -
RAFDA : A policy-aware middleware supporting the flexible separation of application logic from distribution
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ReportMiddleware technologies often limit the way in which object classes may be used in distributed applications due to the fixed distribution policies that they impose. These policies permeate applications developed using ... -
RAFDA : Middleware supporting the separation of application logic from distribution policy
(University of St Andrews, 2005) - ReportMiddleware technologies often limit the way in which object classes may be used in distributed applications due to the fixed distribution policies imposed by the Middleware system. These policies permeate the applications ... -
The Rainbow Family : an ethnography of spiritual postmodernism
(University of St Andrews, 2006) - ThesisThe Rainbow Family of Living Light is an intentional society devoted to achieving world peace through spiritual healing. A loose association of spiritual seekers that explicitly rejects all forms of leadership and imposed ... -
Rainfall, leafing phenology and sunrise time as potential Zeitgeber for the bimodal, dry season laying pattern of an African rain forest tit (Parus fasciiventer)
(2017-01) - Journal articleRecent studies have documented a mismatch between the phenology of leaf production, prey availability and the nestling food requirements of north temperate songbirds, attributed to climate change effects. Although tropical ... -
Raising the Gangdese Mountains in southern Tibet
(2017-01-21) - Journal articleThe surface uplift of mountain belts is in large part controlled by the effects of crustal thickening and mantle dynamic processes (e.g., lithospheric delamination or slab breakoff). Understanding the history and driving ... -
Raman imaging through a single multimode fibre
(2017-06-12) - Journal articleVibrational spectroscopy is a widespread, powerful method of recording the spectra of constituent molecules within a sample in a label-free manner. As an example, Raman spectroscopy has major applications in materials ... -
Raman scattering with strongly coupled vibron-polaritons
(2016-08) - Journal articleStrong coupling between cavity photons and molecular vibrations can lead to the formation of vibron-polaritons. In a recent experiment with PVAc molecules in a metal-metal microcavity [A.Shalabney et al., Ang.Chem.Int.Ed. ... -
Ramifications of optical pumping on the interpretation of time-resolved photoemission experiments on graphene
(2015-04) - Journal articleAbstract In pump-probe time and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (TR-ARPES) experiments the presence of the pump pulse adds a new level of complexity to the photoemission process in comparison to conventional ... -
RAMÓN, Sociedad limitada. Consumo y creación en la estética de Ramón Gómez de la Serna.
(2014-07-01) - Journal articleThis article will study the creative process of Ramón Gómez de la Serna taking into account the intertwining of the practices of consumption and production of the capitalist system and the literary practices and aesthetic ... -
Ramsey's 'Universals'
(University of St Andrews, 2013) - ThesisRamsey’s Universals has not been served well by its critics and, as a result, the real and important contentions of Ramsey’s essay are often obscured in discussion of his work. This thesis is intended to form the beginning ... -
Random coeffcient models for complex longitudinal data
(University of St Andrews, 2014-06-27) - ThesisLongitudinal data are common in biological research. However, real data sets vary considerably in terms of their structure and complexity and present many challenges for statistical modelling. This thesis proposes a series ... -
The random continued fraction transformation
(2015-07) - Journal articleWe introduce a random dynamical system related to continued fraction expansions. It uses random combination of the Gauss map and the R\'enyi (or backwards) continued fraction map. We explore the continued fraction expansions ... -
A Random Forest model for predicting allosteric and functional sites on proteins
(2016-04-05) - Journal articleWe created a computational method to identify allosteric sites using a machine learning method trained and tested on protein structures containing bound ligand molecules. The Random Forest machine learning approach was ...
