Transhumance in the Early Neolithic? Carbon and oxygen isotope insights into sheep husbandry at Arene Candide, Northern Italy (2021)
Journal Article
Karkuleviciute, K., Gron, K., Patterson, W., Panelli, C., Rossi, S., Timsic, S., Gröcke, D., Maggi, R., & Rowley-Conwy, P. (2021). Transhumance in the Early Neolithic? Carbon and oxygen isotope insights into sheep husbandry at Arene Candide, Northern Italy. Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports, 40(Part B), Article 103240. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2021.103240

Vertical transhumance is historically known as an animal management practice in the Mediterranean that mitigates the risk of overgrazing and unpalatable pastures. It has long been debated whether the practice developed together with the spread of the... Read More about Transhumance in the Early Neolithic? Carbon and oxygen isotope insights into sheep husbandry at Arene Candide, Northern Italy.

Autoencoders Without Reconstruction for Textural Anomaly Detection (2021)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Adey, P., Akcay, S., Bordewich, M., & Breckon, T. (2021, July). Autoencoders Without Reconstruction for Textural Anomaly Detection. Presented at 2021 International Joint Conference on Neural Networks (IJCNN), Shenzhen, China

Automatic anomaly detection in natural textures is a key component within quality control for a range of high-speed, high-yield manufacturing industries that rely on camera-based visual inspection techniques. Targeting anomaly detection through the u... Read More about Autoencoders Without Reconstruction for Textural Anomaly Detection.

Magnifying Grains of Sand, Seeds, and Blades of Grass: Optical Effects in Robert Grosseteste’s De iride (On the Rainbow) (circa 1228–1230) (2021)
Journal Article
White, R. C., Gasper, G. E., McLeish, T. C., Tanner, B. K., Harvey, J. S., Sønnesyn, S. O., Young, L. K., & Smithson, H. E. (2021). Magnifying Grains of Sand, Seeds, and Blades of Grass: Optical Effects in Robert Grosseteste’s De iride (On the Rainbow) (circa 1228–1230). Isis: A Journal of the History of Science Society, 112(1), 93-107. https://doi.org/10.1086/713724

In his treatise On the Rainbow (De iride), composed nearly four hundred years before the first known telescope, the English polymath Robert Grosseteste identified three striking optical effects: distant objects can be rendered close by; close-by larg...

X-ray imaging of silicon die within fully packaged semiconductor devices (2021)
Journal Article
Tanner, B. K., McNally, P. J., & Danilewsky, A. N. (2021). X-ray imaging of silicon die within fully packaged semiconductor devices. Powder Diffraction, 36(2), 78-84. https://doi.org/10.1017/s088571562100021x

X-ray diffraction imaging (XRDI) (topography) measurements of silicon die warpage within fully packaged commercial quad-flat no-lead devices are described. Using synchrotron radiation, it has been shown that the tilt of the lattice planes in the Anal... Read More about X-ray imaging of silicon die within fully packaged semiconductor devices.

Effects of marine biofertilisation on Celtic bean carbon, nitrogen and sulphur isotopes: implications for reconstructing past diet and farming practices (2021)
Journal Article
Gröcke, D. R., Treasure, E. R., Lester, J. J., Gron, K. J., & Church, M. J. (2021). Effects of marine biofertilisation on Celtic bean carbon, nitrogen and sulphur isotopes: implications for reconstructing past diet and farming practices. Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, 35(5), Article e8985. https://doi.org/10.1002/rcm.8985

Rationale: The application of fertilisers to crops can be monitored and assessed using stable isotope ratios. However, the application of marine biofertilisers (e.g. fish, macroalgae/seaweed) on crop stable isotope ratios has been rarely studied, des...
