Evolution of an advancing gravel front: observations from Vedder Canal, British Columbia (2011)
Journal Article
Channelization of the lowermost part of Vedder River in 1922 initiated a natural experiment relevant to the unresolved question of how abrupt gravel–sand transitions develop along rivers. The new channel (Vedder Canal) had a fine bed and a much lower... Read More about Evolution of an advancing gravel front: observations from Vedder Canal, British Columbia.
An analytical model of off-resonant Faraday rotation in hot alkali metal vapours (2011)
Journal Article
We report a thorough investigation of the Faraday effect on the 852 nm D2 transition in a hot caesium vapour, culminating in the development of a simple analytical model for off-resonant Faraday rotation. The model, applicable to all hot alkali metal... Read More about An analytical model of off-resonant Faraday rotation in hot alkali metal vapours.
Off-resonance laser frequency stabilization using the Faraday effect (2011)
Journal Article
We present a simple technique for stabilization of a laser frequency off resonance using the Faraday effect in a heated vapor cell with an applied magnetic field. In particular, we demonstrate stabilization of a 780nm laser detuned up to 14GHz from t... Read More about Off-resonance laser frequency stabilization using the Faraday effect.

Are There No Things That Are Scientific Theories? (2011)
Journal Article
The ontological status of theories themselves has recently re-emerged as a live topic in the philosophy of science. We consider whether a recent approach within the philosophy of art can shed some light on this issue. For many years philosophers of a...

Many-body physics with alkaline-earth Rydberg lattices (2011)
Journal Article
We explore the prospects for confining alkaline-earth Rydberg atoms in an optical lattice via optical dressing of the secondary core–valence electron. Focussing on the particular case of strontium, we identify experimentally accessible magic waveleng... Read More about Many-body physics with alkaline-earth Rydberg lattices.
A randomised evaluation of CollAborative care and active surveillance for Screen-Positive EldeRs with sub-threshold depression (CASPER): study protocol for a randomized controlled trial (2011)
Journal Article
Background: Depression accounts for the greatest burden of disease among all mental health problems, and is expected to become the second-highest amongst all general health problems by 2020. By the age of 75, 1 in 7 older people meet formal diagnosti...

A Bayesian Model Averaging Approach to the Quantification of Overlapping Peptides in an MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrum (2011)
Journal Article
In a high-resolution MALDI-TOF mass spectrum, a peptide produces multiple peaks, corresponding to the isotopic variants of the molecules. An overlap occurs when two peptides appear in the vicinity of the mass coordinate, resulting in the difficulty o...

Relationships between ‘Wellness Centre’ Use, the Surrounding Built Environment and Obesogenic Behaviours, Sunderland, UK (2011)
Journal Article
A growing body of evidence suggests that the built environment influences people's propensity to lead (un)healthy lifestyles. Researchers have suggested that some environments may promote sedentary lifestyles, while providing access to large amounts...
