Migrants' communication practices with ICTs: Tools for facilitating migration and adaptation? (2008)
Journal Article
Holmes, P., & Janson, A. (2008). Migrants' communication practices with ICTs: Tools for facilitating migration and adaptation?. International Journal of Technology, Knowledge and Society, 4(6), 51-62. https://doi.org/10.18848/1832-3669/cgp/v04i06/55946

Migrants to a new homeland face significant adaptation and communication challenges. Information communication technologies (ICTs) are obvious tools to bridge these challenges. In this paper we investigate how migrants’ communication practices shape... Read More about Migrants' communication practices with ICTs: Tools for facilitating migration and adaptation?.

We investigate the nature of molecular gas emission from z ~ 6 quasars via the commonly observed tracer of H2, carbon monoxide (CO). We achieve this by combining non-LTE radiative transfer calculations with merger-driven models of z ~ 6 quasar format... Read More about The Nature of CO Emission from z~6 Quasars.

Generating dark matter halo merger trees (2008)
