Improved light-cone sum rules for the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon (2004)
Journal Article

We calculate the electromagnetic form factors of the nucleon within the light-cone sum rule approach. In comparison to previous work [Phys. Rev. D 65 (2002) 074011] we suggest to use a pure isospin-1/2 interpolating field for the nucleon, since the C...

This article examines the alleged links between 'partnership' forms of managing workplace relationships in Britain and the development of intra-organisational 'trust'. The potential for mutually complementary linkages between the two are clear, in th... Read More about Partnership and the development of trust in British workplaces.

Black hole accretion discs: reality confronts theory (2004)

Disc spectra from highly luminous black hole binaries are observed to be rather simple, despite theoretical predictions to the contrary. We collate the disc-dominated spectra from multiple observations of 10 separate sources and show that they are co... Read More about Black hole accretion discs: reality confronts theory.

Social policy-making in the UK under the Labour government has galvanized around the issue of social exclusion, identifying young children (0-4 years) and their families living in areas of high social disadvantage to be particularly at risk. This pap... Read More about Social exclusion, Sure Start and organizational social capital: evaluating inter-disciplinary multi-agency working in an education and health work programme.

Based on fieldwork conducted amongst the Yakkha of East Nepal from 1989-90, this article looks at the similarities and differences in how "tradition" is approached by anthropologists and historians. It focuses on reflexivity, performance and process... Read More about Traditions in transition: Sanskritization and Yakkhafication in East Nepal.

Towards explicit description of the ramification filtration in the 2-dimensional case (2004)
Journal Article

The principal result of this paper is an explicit description of the structure of ramification subgroups of the Galois group of 2-dimensional local field modulo its subgroup of commutators of order 3. This result plays a clue role in the author's pro... Read More about Towards explicit description of the ramification filtration in the 2-dimensional case.
