Biological productivity and carbon export in the equatorial Atlantic are thought to have been dramatically higher during the last glacial period than during the Holocene. Here we reconstruct the pH and CO2 content of surface waters from the eastern equatorial Atlantic O...

Theoretically we understand the dimensions of both generic and specific adaptive capacity, however, there are few studies which document actual observed adaptive capacity. This study aims to address this gap by documenting the adaptive capacity of Indian rice production...

We study both experimentally and theoretically soliton interaction in the presence of a weak non-soliton component and show that the existence of a frequency shifted cw wave results in a temporal shift of the soliton.

One of the main, long-term objectives of artificial intelligence is the creation of thinking machines. To that end, substantial effort has been placed into designing cognitive systems; i.e. systems that can manipulate semantic-level information. A substantial part of th...

AbstractIt is often stated that involving the client in operational research studies increases conceptual learning about a system which can then be applied repeatedly to other, similar, systems. Our study provides a novel measurement approach for behavioural OR studies ...

Psychological theory suggests that the quality of positive relationships teachers have with children could act as a resource to support their wellbeing by increasing the quality of intrinsic motivation to engage in teaching (Bakker & Demerouti, 2007b; Deci & Rya...

RRS Discovery cruise 103 departed Southampton late afternoon on the 21 June. DY103 operated in the Porcupine Abyssal Plain Sustained Observatory area (48°50´N 016°30´W) from the evening of 24th June – 6th July (with a 3 day loss to science due to a medivac into Cork fro...

Increasingly, the United Kingdom Government is looking towards the social economy to deliver welfare services. The social economy, and specifically social enterprises, are envisaged by New Labour as having the ability to train and employ those disadvantaged in the labou...

In September 2007 on RRS Discovery, the Autosub6000 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) completed its first deep water engineering trials, and less than a year later, fitted with a multibeam bathymetric mapping sonar, carried out its first science missions, as part of a...

Inorganic framework materials, with structures based on arsenate and phosphate, AsO4and PO4, tetrahedra and a variety of octahedral metal units, such as hafnium, niobiumand iron, have been synthesised and fully characterised. These materials have beensynthesised by solv...
