Informationalising matter: systems understandings of the nanoscale (2008)
Journal Article
Kearnes, M. (2008). Informationalising matter: systems understandings of the nanoscale. Spontaneous generations, 2(1),

Themes of mastery, domination and power are familiar to any scholar of modern technology. Science is commonly cast as enabling the technological control over both the natural and physical worlds. Indeed, Francis Bacon famously equated scientific know... Read More about Informationalising matter: systems understandings of the nanoscale.

Pour des politiques publiques favorables a la sante dans le contexte de la preparation de grands evenements internationaux: l'exemple des jeux olympiques (2008)
Journal Article
Curtis, S., Pederson, A., Bruce, T., & Frankish, J. (2008). Pour des politiques publiques favorables a la sante dans le contexte de la preparation de grands evenements internationaux: l'exemple des jeux olympiques

Il est de plus en plus fréquent que s’établissent, à travers le monde, des stratégies en faveur de la santé publique (Frankish et autres, 1996; OMS, 1999). Au fur et à mesure que les décisions politiques se multiplient et que les structures organisat...

A millennial-scale record of Arctic Ocean sea ice variability and the demise of the Ellesmere Island ice shelves (2008)
Journal Article
England, J., Lakeman, T., Lemmen, D., Bednarski, J., Stewart, T., & Evans, D. (2008). A millennial-scale record of Arctic Ocean sea ice variability and the demise of the Ellesmere Island ice shelves. Geophysical Research Letters, 35, https://doi.org/10.1029/2008gl034470

Sea-ice ice shelves, at the apex of North America (>80N), constitute the oldest sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere. We document the establishment and subsequent stability of the Ward Hunt Ice Shelf, and multiyear landfast sea ice in adjacent fiords,...

Magnetic trapping of a cold Rb-Cs atomic mixture (2008)
Journal Article
Harris, M., Tierney, P., & Cornish, S. (2008). Magnetic trapping of a cold Rb-Cs atomic mixture. Journal of Physics B: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics, 41(5), Article 059803. https://doi.org/10.1088/0953-4075/41/5/059803

We present an apparatus for the study of an ultracold gaseous atomic mixture of 133Cs and 87Rb. The mixture is prepared using a double magneto-optical trap (MOT) system in which a two-species pyramid MOT acts as a source of cold atoms for a `science'...

Reliable identification of Compton-thick quasars at z~2 : Spitzer mid-infrared spectroscopy of HDF-oMD49 (2008)
Journal Article
Alexander, D., Chary, R., Pope, A., Bauer, F., Brandt, W., Daddi, E., …Reddy, N. (2008). Reliable identification of Compton-thick quasars at z~2 : Spitzer mid-infrared spectroscopy of HDF-oMD49. Astrophysical Journal, 687(2), 835-847. https://doi.org/10.1086/591928

Many models that seek to explain the origin of the unresolved X-ray background predict that Compton-thick active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are ubiquitous at high redshift. However, few distant Compton-thick AGNs have been reliably identified to date. He...

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?.

Le Cycle de Renart: From the Enfances to the Jugement in a Cyclical Roman de Renart Manuscript (2008)
Journal Article

This article is a reading of a Roman de Renart manuscript from the often neglected gamma family, which subsumes the narrative to a broadly biographical (or cyclical) framework. The manuscript studied here therefore opens with an Enfances text, which... Read More about Le Cycle de Renart: From the Enfances to the Jugement in a Cyclical Roman de Renart Manuscript.

Observer, observed and observations: Initial teacher education. English tutors' feedback on lessons taught by student teachers of English (2008)
