Visual control of action in step descent (2008)
Journal Article
Cowie, D., Braddick, O., & Atkinson, J. (2008). Visual control of action in step descent. Experimental Brain Research, 186(2), 343-348. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00221-008-1320-1

Visual guidance of forwards, sideways, and upwards stepping has been investigated, but there is little knowledge about the visuomotor processes underlying stepping down actions. In this study we investigated the visual control of a single vertical st... Read More about Visual control of action in step descent.

Limit theory for the random on-line nearest-neighbor graph (2008)
Journal Article
Penrose, M. D., & Wade, A. R. (2008). Limit theory for the random on-line nearest-neighbor graph. Random Structures and Algorithms, 32(2), 125-156. https://doi.org/10.1002/rsa.20185

In the on-line nearest-neighbor graph (ONG), each point after the first in a sequence of points in ℝd is joined by an edge to its nearest neighbor amongst those points that precede it in the sequence. We study the large-sample asymptotic behavior of... Read More about Limit theory for the random on-line nearest-neighbor graph.

Constraining the age and formation of stone runs in the Falkland Islands using Optically Stimulated Luminescene. (2008)
Journal Article
Hansom, J., Evans, D., Sanderson, D., Bingham, R., & Bentley, M. (2008). Constraining the age and formation of stone runs in the Falkland Islands using Optically Stimulated Luminescene. Geomorphology, 94(1-2), 117-130. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2007.05.006

The stone runs of the Falkland Islands are thought to be periglacial blockfields but their age and detailed origin remain enigmatic. We examine the fine sediments that underlie two stone runs in order to establish whether Optically Stimulated Lumines...

With the advent of Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) technologies, distance education (e-learning or Web-based learning) has enabled a new era of education. There are a number of issues that have significant impact on distance education, including th... Read More about Technology Supports for Distributed and Collaborative Learning over the Internet.

Global correlations of ocean ridge basalt chemistry with axial depth: A new perspective (2008)
Journal Article
Niu, Y., & O'Hara, M. (2008). Global correlations of ocean ridge basalt chemistry with axial depth: A new perspective. Journal of Petrology, 49(4), 633-664. https://doi.org/10.1093/petrology/egm051

The petrologic parameters Na8 and Fe8, which are Na2O and FeO contents in MORB melts corrected for fractionation effects to MgO = 8 wt%, have been widely used as indicators of the extents and pressure of mantle melting beneath ocean ridges. We find t... Read More about Global correlations of ocean ridge basalt chemistry with axial depth: A new perspective.

Spatial variability in the European winter precipitation d18O-NAO relationship: Implications for reconstructing NAO-mode climate variability in the Holocene. (2008)
Journal Article
Baldini, L., McDermott, F., Foley, A., & Baldini, J. (2008). Spatial variability in the European winter precipitation d18O-NAO relationship: Implications for reconstructing NAO-mode climate variability in the Holocene. Geophysical Research Letters, 35(4), Article L04709. https://doi.org/10.1029/2007gl032027

This paper investigates the links between precipitation δ18O and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) on decadal timescales to identify the optimum locations within Europe at which to compile δ18O-based proxy records of past NAO variability. δ18O is...

Colossal Positive and Negative Thermal Expansion in the Framework Material Ag3[Co(CN)6] (2008)
Journal Article

We show that silver(I) hexacyanocobaltate(III), Ag3[Co(CN)6], exhibits positive and negative thermal expansion an order of magnitude greater than that seen in other crystalline materials. This framework material expands along one set of directions at... Read More about Colossal Positive and Negative Thermal Expansion in the Framework Material Ag3[Co(CN)6].
