Continental weathering following a Cryogenian glaciation : evidence from calcium and magnesium isotopes
(2014-06-15) - Journal articleA marked ocean acidification event and elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations following the extreme environmental conditions of the younger Cryogenian glaciation have been inferred from boron isotope measurements. ... -
conting : an R package for Bayesian analysis of complete and incomplete contingency tables
(2014-06) - Journal articleThe aim of this paper is to demonstrate the R package conting for the Bayesian analysis of complete and incomplete contingency tables using hierarchical log-linear models. This package allows a user to identify interactions ... -
Contingency and necessity : human agency in Musil's the man without qualities
(2014-01) - Journal article -
Continued fractions which correspond to two series expansions and the strong Hamburger moment problem
(University of St Andrews, 1984) - ThesisJust as the denominator polynomials of a J-fraction are orthogonal polynomials with respect to some moment functional, the denominator polynomials of an M-fraction are shown to satisfy a skew orthogonality relation with ... -
The continuing story of SN IIb 2013df: new optical and IR observations and analysis
(2016-08-01) - Journal articleSN 2013df is a nearby Type IIb supernova that seems to be the spectroscopic twin of the well-known SN 1993J. Previous studies revealed many, but not all interesting properties of this event. Our goal was to add new ... -
Continuity and discontinuity: the Lord's Supper in historical perspective
(St Mary's College, University of St Andrews, 2008-12-01) - Journal articleWhile the Reformation brought a transformation in the way the Lord's Supper was celebrated in Scotland, Henry Sefton's paper shows that the change in practice was not at complete as might be thought, and that through the ... -
Continuity in intermittent organisations : the organising practices of festival and community of a UK film festival
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06-26) - ThesisThis thesis considers the relationship between practices, communities and continuity in intermittent organisational arrangements. Cultural festivals are argued to offer one such particularly rich and nuanced research ... -
Continuous flow homogeneous catalysis using ionic liquid/supercritical fluid biphasic systems
(University of St Andrews, 2010) - ThesisIonic liquid/scCO₂ biphasic systems have been studied as a possible solution to the main problems concerning homogeneous catalysis reactions such as, the product/catalyst separation, the catalyst retention in the reaction ... -
Continuous flow homogeneous hydroformylation of 1-octene over supported ionic liquid phase rhodium catalysts using supercritical CO₂
(University of St Andrews, 2011) - ThesisThe hydroformylation of 1-octene with supported ionic liquid phase catalyst was demonstrated when using a system involving the substrate, reacting gases and products in CO₂ and N₂ flow over a fixed bed supported ionic ... -
Continuous wave and modelocked femtosecond novel bulk glass lasers operating around 2000 nm
(University of St Andrews, 2010) - ThesisThis thesis reports on the development of glass-based femtosecond laser sources around 2 µm wavelength. In order to be able to produce 2 µm radiation the dopants used were trivalent Thulium (Tm³⁺) and trivalent Holmium ... -
Continuous wave terahertz radiation from an InAs/GaAs quantum-dot photomixer device
(2012-08-20) - Journal articleGeneration of continuous wave radiation at terahertz (THz) frequencies from a heterodyne source based on quantum-dot (QD) semiconductor materials is reported. The source comprises an active region characterised by multiple ... -
The contour-advective semi-Lagrangian hybrid algorithm approach to weather forecasting and freely propagating inertia-gravity waves in the shallow-water system
(University of St Andrews, 2009-06-24) - ThesisThis thesis is aimed at extending the spherical barotropic contour-advective semi-Lagrangian (CASL) Algorithm, written in 1996 by David Dritschel and Maarten Ambaum, to more complex test cases within the shallow-water ... -
Contra-directional coupling into slotted photonic crystals for spectrometric applications
(2014-08-01) - Journal articleWe propose and demonstrate the concept of a contra-directional coupler between a W1 and a slotted photonic crystal waveguide. The bandwidth and operating wavelength of such a coupler can be controlled via its geometrical ... -
Contracting institutions and development
(2012) - Journal articleThe quality of contracting institutions has been thought to be of second-order importance next to the impact that good property rights institutions can have on long- run growth. Using a large range of proxies for each type ... -
Contrasting changes in the abundance and diversity of North American bird assemblages from 1971 to 2010
(2016-12) - Journal articleAlthough it is generally recognized that global biodiversity is declining, few studies have examined long-term changes in multiple biodiversity dimensions simultaneously. In this study we quantified and compared temporal ... -
Contrasting migratory responses of two closely-related seabirds to long-term climate change
(2016-11-09) - Journal articleMany marine predators migrate between breeding and non-breeding areas to target resources that are seasonal but spatio-temporally predictable, and so are vulnerable to climate-induced changes in prey phenology and abundance. ... -
Contrastive reasons and promotion
(2014-10) - Journal articleA promising but underexplored view about normative reasons is contrastivism, which holds that considerations are fundamentally reasons for things only relative to sets of alternatives. Contrastivism gains an advantage by ... -
Contrastivism about reasons and ought
(2015-06-04) - Journal articleContrastivism about some concept says that the concept is relativized to sets of alternatives. Relative to some alternatives, the concept may apply, but relative to others, it may not. This article explores contrastivism ... -
Contribution of mode-coupling and phase-mixing of Alfvén waves to coronal heating
(2017-05-12) - Journal articleContext. Phase-mixing of Alfvén waves in the solar corona has been identified as one possible candidate to explain coronal heating. While this scenario is supported by observations of ubiquitous oscillations in the corona ... -
The contribution of the subthalamic nucleus to executive functions in rat
(University of St Andrews, 2014-12-01) - ThesisLesions of the subthalamic nucleus (STN) alleviate the cardinal signs of idiopathic as well as MPTP-induced Parkinson’s disease in primates. For this reason, the STN is a target for clinical treatment of Parkinson’s ...
