A balanced approach to modelling rotating stably stratified geophysical flows
(2003-08-10) - Journal articleWe describe a new approach to modelling three-dimensional rotating stratified flows under the Boussinesq approximation. This approach is based on the explicit conservation of potential vorticity, and exploits the underlying ... -
Balanced solutions for an ellipsoidal vortex in a rotating stratified flow
(2016-09) - Journal articleWe consider the motion of a single ellipsoidal vortex with uniform potential vorticity in a rotating stratified fluid at finite Rossby number . Building on previous solutions obtained under the quasi-geostrophic approximation ... -
Balcaskie House, Fife, and the early architecture of Sir William Bruce
(1988) - ThesisChapter 1 attempts to place Bruce’s career in a political context and argues that Bruce may not have contributed as much to the Restoration of Charles II as has been suggested. Chapter 2 examines Bruce’s education and the ... -

(University of St Andrews, 1995) - ThesisThis is an examination of a neglected class of relations that have become more common after the Cold War, those between the United Nations and sub-State insurgent groups. This relationship has changed significantly after ... -
Bandwagon for profit : Egyptian foreign policy toward Iran
(University of St Andrews, 2017-06-20) - ThesisWhat explains the lack of normalized relations between Egypt and Iran? Despite mutual potential benefits Egypt and Iran could have gained from normalized bilateral relations over the past several decades, a range of ... -
Banking and industrialization
(University of St Andrews, 2017-12-01) - Working or discussion paperWe exploit employment data from 10,528 parishes across nineteenth century England and Wales and find that a one standard deviation increase in finance employment increases the annualized growth rate of secondary labour by ... -
Bar pattern speeds in CALIFA galaxies : I. Fast bars across the Hubble sequence
(2015-04-09) - Journal articleContext. The bar pattern speed (Ωb) is defined as the rotational frequency of the bar, and it determines the bar dynamics. Several methods have been proposed for measuring Ωb. The non-parametric method proposed by Tremaine ... -
The bare necessities? a comparative study of the material evidence for Roman medical practice in urban domestic and army spheres
(2007-11-30) - ThesisThe study of medicine in the Roman world is, in many areas, hampered by lack of evidence yet, despite this, valuable research has been done in the areas of urban domestic and army medicine. The aim of this thesis is not ... -

Basal dynamics of Kronebreen, a fast-flowing tidewater glacier in Svalbard : non-local spatio-temporal response to water input
(2017-12) - Journal articleWe evaluate the variability in basal friction for Kronebreen, Svalbard, a fast-flowing tidewater glacier. We invert 3 years (2013–15) of surface velocities at high temporal resolution (generally 11 days), to estimate the ... -
Base-specific spin labeling of RNA for structure determination
(2007-05) - Journal articleTo facilitate the measurement of intramolecular distances in solvated RNA systems, a combination of spin- labeling, electron paramagnetic resonance ( EPR), and molecular dynamics ( MD) simulation is presented. The fairly ... -
