Atmospheric electrification in dusty, reactive gases in the solar system and beyond
(2016-07) - Journal itemDetailed observations of the solar system planets reveal a wide variety of local atmospheric conditions. Astronomical observations have revealed a variety of extrasolar planets none of which resembles any of the solar ... -
Atmospheric origins of perchlorate on Mars and in the Atacama
(2010) - Journal articleIsotopic studies indicate that natural perchlorate is produced on Earth in arid environments by the oxidation of chlorine species through pathways involving ozone or its photochemical products. With this analogy, we propose ... -
Atmospheric transport and critical layer mixing in the troposphere and stratosphere
(University of St Andrews, 2012-06-22) - ThesisThis thesis aims to improve the understanding of transport and critical layer mixing in the troposphere and stratosphere. A dynamical approach is taken based on potential vorticity which has long been recognised as the ... -
Atom guiding in free-space light beams and photonic crystal fibres
(University of St Andrews, 2007) - ThesisIn this thesis I describe experimental work and present data on the guiding of Rubidium atoms along free-space propagating light beams as well as within hollow core glass fibres, namely photonic crystal fibres. I describe ... -
Atomic-scale control of competing electronic phases in ultrathin LaNiO3
(2014-06) - Journal articleIn an effort to scale down electronic devices to atomic dimensions(1), the use of transition-metal oxides may provide advantages over conventional semiconductors. Their high carrier densities and short electronic length ... -
Atomic-scale electronic structure of the cuprate d-symmetry form factor density wave state
(2016-02) - Journal articleResearch on high-temperature superconducting cuprates is at present focused on identifying the relationship between the classic ‘pseudogap’ phenomenon and the more recently investigated density wave state. This state is ... -
An atomistic approach to graphene and carbon clusters grown on a transition metal surface
(University of St Andrews, 2011-06) - ThesisIn this thesis, graphene (i.e. monolayer carbon film) and carbon clusters supported on a transition metal surface are systematically studied by local probe techniques, with respect to their structures, electronic properties ... -
Atonement at the right hand: the sacrificial significance of Jesus’ exaltation in Acts
(2016-10) - Journal articleLuke-Acts is strangely silent regarding the sacrificial significance of Jesus’ crucifixion. Curiously, too, Acts more closely links the salvific benefits that Jesus provides with his resurrection and exaltation than with ... -
Attaching and effacing Escherichia coli downregulate DNA mismatch repair protein in vitro and are associated with colorectal adenocarcinomas in humans
(2009-05-13) - Journal articleBackground: Mucosa-associated Escherichia coli are frequently found in the colonic mucosa of patients with colorectal adenocarcinoma, but rarely in healthy controls. Chronic mucosal E. coli infection has therefore been ... -
Attention cues in apes and their role in social play behavior of western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla)
(University of St Andrews, 2013-06-25) - ThesisThe research aims of this thesis are to investigate the attention cues available to and used by apes, especially gorillas (Gorilla gorilla), to ascertain the direction of conspecific attention during social interactions ... -
Attention following and nonverbal referential communication in bonobos (Pan paniscus), chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and orangutans (Pongo pygmaeus)
(University of St Andrews, 2011-06-22) - ThesisA central issue in the study of primate communication is the extent to which individuals adjust their behaviour to the attention and signals of others, and manipulate others’ attention to communicate about external events. ... -
Attenuation of bunyavirus replication by modification of genomic untranslated regions
(University of St Andrews, 2012-11-30) - ThesisBunyamwera orthobunyavirus (BUNV) is the prototype for the family Bunyaviridae. BUNV has a tripartite RNA genome of negative polarity composed of the large(L),medium (M)and small(S)segments. Each segment contains an open ... -
Attenuation of species abundance distributions by sampling
(2015-04-22) - Journal articleQuantifying biodiversity aspects such as species presence/ absence, richness and abundance is an important challenge to answer scientific and resource management questions. In practice, biodiversity can only be assessed ... -
Attitudes to religion and the communication of Christian truth
(University of St Andrews, 1990) - ThesisThis study examines the formation and maintenance of young peoples’ attitude to Christianity and seeks to ascertain which are the salient factors, or group of factors, involved in such processes. It was stimulated by the ... -
Attitudes towards condom use among young people
(Child and Adolescent Health Research Unit (CAHRU), 2010-10) - Report -
Attractors of directed graph IFSs that are not standard IFS attractors and their Hausdorff measure
(2013) - Journal articleFor directed graph iterated function systems (IFSs) defined on R, we prove that a class of 2-vertex directed graph IFSs have attractors that cannot be the attractors of standard (1-vertex directed graph) IFSs, with or ... -
Audience manipulation? Subverting the fourth wall in Pina Bausch’s Kontakthof (1978) and Nelken (1982)
(The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, 2014-06-13) - Journal articlePina Bausch’s Tanztheater breaks everyday behaviour into its most elemental fragments, and fundamental aspects of stage etiquette are constantly challenged, not least the barrier between performer and spectator known as ... -
Audience research and social media data : Opportunities and challenges
(2015-05) - Journal articleThe widespread adoption of social media platforms and other information and communication technology innovations not only pose new challenges for audience researchers but also provide exciting opportunities to re-invigorate ... -
Auditory same/different concept learning and generalization in black-capped chickadees (Poecile atricapillus)
(2012-10-15) - Journal articleAbstract concept learning was thought to be uniquely human, but has since been observed in many other species. Discriminating same from different is one abstract relation that has been studied frequently. In the current ... -
