Measurements of the ultraviolet background at 4.6 < z < 6.4 using the quasar proximity effect (2011)
Journal Article
(2011). Measurements of the ultraviolet background at 4.6 < z < 6.4 using the quasar proximity effect. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 412(4), 2543-2562. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.18072.x

We present measurements of the ionizing ultraviolet background (UVB) at z∼ 5–6 using the quasar proximity effect. The 15 quasars in our sample cover the range 4.6 < zq < 6.4, enabling the first proximity-effect measurements of the UVB at z > 5. The m...

Multi-Galileons, solitons, and Derrick’s theorem (2011)
Journal Article
Padilla, A., Saffin, P. M., & Zhou, S.-Y. (2011). Multi-Galileons, solitons, and Derrick’s theorem. Physical Review D, 83(4), https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.83.045009

The field theory Galilean symmetry, which was introduced in the context of modified gravity, gives a neat way to construct Lorentz-covariant theories of a scalar field, such that the equations of motion contain at most second-order derivatives. Here... Read More about Multi-Galileons, solitons, and Derrick’s theorem.

Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology (2011)
Journal Article
Padilla, A., Saffin, P. M., & Zhou, S.-Y. (2011). Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2011(1), https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP01%282011%29099

We continue to introduce bi-galileon theory, the generalisation of the single galileon model introduced by Nicolis et al. The theory contains two coupled scalar fields and is described by a Lagrangian that is invariant under Galilean shifts in those... Read More about Bi-galileon theory II: phenomenology.

Vernier templating and synthesis of a 12-porphyrin nano-ring (2011)
Journal Article
O’Sullivan, M. C., Sprafke, J. K., Kondratuk, D. V., Rinfray, C., Claridge, T. D., Saywell, A., Blunt, M. O., O’Shea, J. N., Beton, P. H., Malfois, M., & Anderson, H. L. (2011). Vernier templating and synthesis of a 12-porphyrin nano-ring. Nature, 469, 72–75. https://doi.org/10.1038/nature09683

Templates are widely used to arrange molecular components so they can be covalently linked into complex molecules that are not readily accessible by classical synthetic methods1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Nature uses sophisticated templates such as the ribosome, w... Read More about Vernier templating and synthesis of a 12-porphyrin nano-ring.

Reducing the gradient artefact in simultaneous EEG-fMRI by adjusting the subject’s axial position (2011)
Journal Article
Mullinger, K. J., Yan, W. X., & Bowtell, R. W. (2011). Reducing the gradient artefact in simultaneous EEG-fMRI by adjusting the subject’s axial position. NeuroImage, 54(3), https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuroimage.2010.09.079

Large artefacts which compromise EEG data quality are generated when electroencephalography (EEG) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are carried out concurrently. The gradient artefact produced by the time-varying magnetic field gradien... Read More about Reducing the gradient artefact in simultaneous EEG-fMRI by adjusting the subject’s axial position.

Galaxy Zoo 1 : Data Release of Morphological Classifications for nearly 900,000 galaxies (2010)
Journal Article
Lintott, C., Schawinski, K., Bamford, S., Slosar, A., Land, K., Thomas, D., Edmondson, E., Masters, K., Nichol, R., Raddick, J., Szalay, A., Andreescu, D., Murray, P., & Vandenberg, J. (2011). Galaxy Zoo 1 : Data Release of Morphological Classifications for nearly 900,000 galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 410(1), 166–178. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2010.17432.x

Morphology is a powerful indicator of a galaxy's dynamical and merger history. It is strongly correlated with many physical parameters, including mass, star formation history and the distribution of mass. The Galaxy Zoo project collected simple morph...
