The Court of Star Chamber, 1629-1641
(University of St Andrews, 1988-07) - ThesisThe Court of Star Chamber was abolished by the Long Parliament for reasons, as yet, not clearly established. Most recent research has shown that the court retained its popularity with litigants until the 1640's. Three ... -
Covert operations, wars, detainee destinations, and the psychology of democratic peace
(2018-05-05) - Journal articleWe explore US covert forcible actions against democratic governments and their citizens and show that inter-democratic use of covert force is common and can be accommodated within the theory of democratic peace. Grounded ... -
CpG and UpA dinucleotides in both coding and non-coding regions of echovirus 7 inhibit replication initiation post-entry
(2017-09-29) - Journal articleMost vertebrate and plant RNA and small DNA viruses suppress genomic CpG and UpA dinucleotide frequencies, apparently mimicking host mRNA composition. Artificially increasing CpG/UpA dinucleotides attenuates viruses through ... -
CRAWDAD : A Wireless Network Data Archive for WiSec Researchers
(2014-07-23) - Conference posterWe present the CRAWDAD wireless network data archive, the largest archive of its type. CRAWDAD hosts 115 wireless network datasets and tools, many of which are of use, and have been used, for wireless network research. ... -
Creating and probing of a perfect vortex in situ with an optically trapped particle
(2015-02) - Journal articleWe experimentally create a 'perfect' vortex beam, which has a uniform ring profile and fixed radius. In contrast with other vortex fields, the intensity profile is independent of its topological charge. We then correct ... -
Creating languages in Central Europe: a longue durée perspective
(Joshibi University of Art and Design, 2016) - Book itemLanguages are made into discrete entities, as we know them nowadays, from the ‘mass of the continuous linguistic’ by the technology of writing in the service of power centers, usually state capitals. All the choices made ... -
Creating mass public engagement on climate change
(Sustainable Development Commission, 2008-10-30) - ReportThe purpose of this document is to outline an approach to building large scale public engagement around the lead up to the Copenhagen 09 climate change conference. -
Creating novel thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) emitters for light-emitting electrochemical cells (LEECs) and organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) applications and their structure-property relationship
(University of St Andrews, 2017-12-07) - ThesisDeveloping organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as the next generation display devices is not only of industrial interest, but also a scientific challenge in and of itself that requires multi-disciplinary efforts to ... -
Creating nuclear spin entanglement using an optical degree of freedom
(2011-09-21) - Journal articleMolecular nanostructures are promising building blocks for future quantum technologies, provided methods of harnessing their multiple degrees of freedom can be identified and implemented. Due to low decoherence rates, ... -
Creating numbers : carbon and capital investment
(2015) - Journal articlePurpose - This case study seeks to illustrate the way in which carbon emissions are given calculative agency. We contribute to sociology of quantification with a specific focus on the performativity of the carbon number ... -
Creating open access books: a partnership between a university library and a research centre
(Ubiquity Press, 2014) - Book itemOur e-book story from the University of St Andrews is one of partnership between the University Library and a particular research centre, the St Andrews Centre for French History and Culture. The Library and the editor ... -
Creating S0s with major mergers : a 3D view
(2015-12-03) - Journal articleA number of simulators have argued that major mergers can sometimes preserve discs, but the possibility that they could explain the emergence of lenticular galaxies (S0s) has been generally neglected. In fact, observations ... -
Creation and marginalisation in women’s writing in mid-twentieth-century Uruguay : the case of Concepción Silva Bélinzon’s poetry
(University of St Andrews, 2012-01-20) - ThesisThis thesis explores how women’s writing in mid-twentieth century Uruguay enables a reconsideration of the intertwined hegemonic practices of literary canon formation and national identity in this seminal period. Within a ... -
The creation of a contagious H5N1 influenza virus: implications for the education of life scientists
(Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, 2012-06-10) - Journal articleThe paper contends that the ongoing controversy surrounding the creation of a contagious H5N1 influenza virus has already exposed the severe limitations of the possibility of preventing the hostile misuse of the life ... -
The creation of an administrative data based 1936 birth cohort study
(2015-08-26) - Conference posterThe objective of this project is to create a new 1936 Birth Cohort Study from routine and administrative data. It is structured around the existing Scottish Longitudinal Study (SLS). We took the SLS birth date sample from ... -
Creation of arbitrary Dicke and NOON states of trapped-ion qubits by global addressing with composite pulses
(2013-02-25) - Journal articleWe propose a fast and efficient technique to create classes of highly entangled states of trapped ions, such as arbitrary Dicke states and superpositions of them, e.g. NOON states. The ions are initialized in the phonon ... -
Creation of orbital angular momentum states with chiral polaritonic lenses
(2014-11-12) - Journal articleControlled transfer of orbital angular momentum to an exciton-polariton Bose-Einstein condensate spontaneously created under incoherent, off resonant excitation conditions is a long-standing challenge in the field of ... -
The creation of real food and real people : gender complementarity among the Menku of Central Brazil
(University of St Andrews, 2000) - ThesisThe thesis aims to provide a first ethnographic description of the Menkü of Central Brazil by focussing on their non-hierarchical gender-complementarity as it realises itself in relationships of production and reproduction. ... -
Creation praise : from psalmody to traditional hymnody
(University of St Andrews, 2005) - ThesisThis thesis examines the types of creation imagery used in the Psalms, looking at the historical and cultural influences that affected the Old Testament concepts encapsulated in this Psalmody, and at how traditional creation ... -
Creation's beauty as revelation : toward a creational theology of natural beauty
(University of St Andrews, 2011) - ThesisThe thesis provides an account of how natural beauty functions as revelation and contributes to theology. The central claim is that natural beauty ‘images’ aspects of God’s nature and intentions within Creation’s artistic ...
