Animal origin of 13th-century uterine vellum revealed using noninvasive peptide fingerprinting
(2015-12-08) - Journal articleTissue-thin parchment made it possible to produce the first pocket Bibles: Thousands were made in the 13th century. The source of this parchment, often called “uterine vellum,” has been a long-standing controversy in ... -
Animal population estimation using mark-recapture and plant-capture
(University of St Andrews, 2012) - ThesisMark-recapture is a method of population estimation that involves capturing a number of animals from a population of unknown size on several occasions, and marking those animals that are caught each time. By observing ... -
Animal rights and environmental terrorism
(Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of St Andrews, 2013-09-24) - Journal articleMany paradigmatic forms of animal rights and environmental activism have been classed as terrorism both in popular discourse and in law. This paper argues that the labelling of many violent forms of direct action carried ... -
Animal similes and creativity in the 'Posthomerica' of Quintus of Smyrna
(2008) - ThesisThis thesis examines the similes of wild animals in the third century epic poem Posthomerica, of Quintus of Smyrna. The similes are studied in both inter-textual and textual levels. The former approach discusses ... -
Anion gap as a prognostic tool for risk stratification in critically ill patients – a systematic review and meta-analysis
(2016-08-30) - Journal articleBackground Lactate concentration is a robust predictor of mortality but in many low resource settings facilities for its analysis are not available. Anion gap (AG), calculated from clinical chemistry results, is a marker ... -
Annelid Distal-less/Dlx duplications reveal varied post-duplication fates
(2011-08-16) - Journal articleBackground: Dlx (Distal-less) genes have various developmental roles and are widespread throughout the animal kingdom, usually occurring as single copy genes in non-chordates and as multiple copies in most chordate genomes. ... -

Anomalies of a nonequilibrium spinor polariton condensate in a magnetic field
(2014-03-06) - Journal articleWe observe a strong variation of the Zeeman splitting of exciton polaritons in microcavities when switching between the linear regime, the polariton lasing, and photon lasing regimes. In the polariton lasing regime the ... -
Anomalous change in dielectric constant of CaCu3Ti4O12 under violet-to-ultraviolet irradiation
(2013-05-20) - Journal articleThe influence of light illumination on the dielectric constant of CaCu3Ti4O12 (CCTO) polycrystals is studied in this work. When exposed to 405-nm laser light, a reversible enhancement in the room temperature capacitance ... -
Anomalous change in leakage and displacement currents after electrical poling on lead-free ferroelectric ceramics
(2015-09-21) - Journal articleWe report the polarization, displacement current, and leakage current behavior of a trivalent nonpolar cation (Al3+) substituted lead free ferroelectric (Na0.46Bi0.46-xAlxBa0.08)TiO3 (NBAT-BT) (x = 0, 0.05, 0.07 and 0.10) ... -
Anomalous motions in the Local Group : evidence of a past Milky Way–Andromeda flyby?
(2016-05-26) - Conference paperThe expansion of the Universe is not homogeneous. In the Local Group (LG), Andromeda (M31) is approaching the Milky Way (MW) at ~110 km/s. To turn around the cosmic expansion locally to this extent, their combined mass ... -
Anomalous oxidation of Fe-Si alloys under a low oxygen pressure at 800 °C
(2015) - Journal articleAbstract The oxidation of three Fe-xSi alloys (x = 5, 9, 13 at.%) under 10−20 atm O2 at 800 °C formed in all cases SiO2 layers. For Fe-5Si this layer broke down and healed up periodically forming an anomalous internal ... -
Another biomineralising protostome with an msp130 gene and conservation of msp130 gene structure across Bilateria
(2015-05) - Journal articleMsp130 genes are known for their association with biomineralisation, principally in echinoderm skeletogenesis. Recently, msp130 genes were shown to exist more widely across the animal kingdom, including in molluscs, and a ... -
Another continental vulture crisis : Africa’s vultures collapsing toward extinction
