Climatic and geometric controls on the global distribution of surge-type glaciers : implications for a unifying model of surging
(2015-09-01) - Journal articleControls on the global distribution of surge-type glaciers hold the keys to a better understanding of surge mechanisms. We investigate correlations between the distribution of surge-type glaciers and climatic and glacier ... -
Climbing the scholarly publishing mountain with SHERPA
(UKOLN, 2002-10-10) - Journal article -

(2008-11-03) - Journal articleBackground: A full-thickness macular hole (FTMH) is a common retinal condition associated with impaired vision. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have demonstrated that surgery, by means of pars plana vitrectomy and ... -
Clinical and parasitological response to oral chloroquine and primaquine in uncomplicated human Plasmodium knowlesi infections
(2010-08-19) - Journal articleBackground: Plasmodium knowlesi is a cause of symptomatic and potentially fatal infections in humans. There are no studies assessing the detailed parasitological response to treatment of knowlesi malaria infections in man ... -
Clinical characteristics and lung function in older children vertically infected with Human Immunodeficiency Virus in Malawi
(2016-06) - Journal articleBackground Antiretroviral therapy (ART) has led to increased survival of children with vertically acquired human immunodeficiency virus infection. Significant morbidity arises from respiratory symptoms, but aetiology and ... -
Clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of foam sclerotherapy, endovenous laser ablation and surgery for varicose veins : results from the comparison of LAser, Surgery and foam Sclerotherapy (CLASS) randomised controlled trial
(2015-04) - Journal articlePrimary outcome measures: Disease-specific [Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ)] and generic [European Quality of Life-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), Short Form questionnaire-36 items (SF-36) physical and mental component ... -
The clinical paradigm in organisational analysis : with reference to Beamish and Crawford Plc
(University of St Andrews, 2001) - ThesisThere has been much discussion in the literature in the past decade as boards of directors worldwide have faced increasing stakeholder demands for accountability. The conventional wisdom that stakeholders were passive ... -
Cloning and characterisation of phospholipase C X-domain containing proteins (PLCXDs)
(University of St Andrews, 2015) - ThesisMembers of the phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC) enzyme family play a fundamental role in cell signalling pathways by regulating cytosolic calcium and/or the activity of several protein kinases. This ... -
Close range passive millimetre wave imaging
(University of St Andrews, 2003-05) - ThesisThis thesis describes the design and construction of a close range Passive Millimetre Wave (PMMW) scanning thermal imager. Whilst close range PMMW imager has previously been applied to concealed weapon detection at ranges ... -
Cloud benchmarking for maximising performance of scientific applications
(2016-08-26) - Journal articleHow can applications be deployed on the cloud to achieve maximum performance? This question is challenging to address with the availability of a wide variety of cloud Virtual Machines (VMs) with different performance ... -
Cloud benchmarking for performance
(IEEE, 2014-12-15) - Conference itemHow can applications be deployed on the cloud to achieve maximum performance? This question has become significant and challenging with the availability of a wide variety of Virtual Machines (VMs) with different performance ... -
Cloud cover : monitoring large-scale clouds with Varanus
(2015-07-14) - Journal articleCloud computing has quickly become the de facto means to deploy large scale systems in a robust and cost effective manner. Central to the maintenance of large scale systems is monitoring which allows for the detection of ... -
'The Cloud of Unknowing': its inheritance and its inheritors
(University of St Andrews, 1987) - ThesisThe thesis attempts a portrait of The Cloud in the context of its position in the history of Christian mysticism. That the anonymous work owed much to spiritual writers of the preceding twelve hundred years is not ... -
Cloud Services Brokerage : a survey and research roadmap
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015-06-27) - Conference itemA Cloud Services Brokerage (CSB) acts as an intermediary between cloud service providers (e.g., Amazon and Google) and cloud service end users, providing a number of value adding services. CSBs as a research topic are in ... -
Cloud-based e-Infrastructure for scheduling astronomical observations
(IEEE Computer Society, 2015-08-31) - Conference itemGravitational microlensing exploits a transient phenomenon where an observed star is brightened due to deflection of its light by the gravity of an intervening foreground star. It is conjectured that this technique can be ... -
Cluster mean-field approach to the steady-state phase diagram of dissipative spin systems
(2016-09) - Journal articleWe show that short-range correlations have a dramatic impact on the steady-state phase diagram of quantum driven-dissipative systems. This effect, never observed in equilibrium, follows from the fact that ordering in the ... -
A cluster of cholinergic premotor interneurons modulates mouse locomotor activity
(2009-12-10) - Journal articleMammalian motor programs are controlled by networks of spinal interneurons that set the rhythm and intensity of motor neuron firing. Motor neurons have long been known to receive prominent “C bouton” cholinergic inputs ... -
The clustering of galaxies in the completed SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey : anisotropic galaxy clustering in Fourier space
