Copyright © Cambridge University Press and British Association for American Studies 2017 Writers and critics in the Gilded Age United States frequently debated the relations between literature and science. A common contemporary interpretation of this... Read More about American scientists and their fictions: professional authorship and intellectual identity, 1870-1900.

Magnetic anisotropy in antiferromagnetic hexagonal MnTe (2017)
Journal Article

Antiferromagnetic hexagonal MnTe is a promising material for spintronic devices relying on the control of antiferromagnetic domain orientations. Here we report on neutron diffraction, magnetotransport, and magnetometry experiments on semiconducting e... Read More about Magnetic anisotropy in antiferromagnetic hexagonal MnTe.

SDSS-IV MaNGA: probing the kinematic morphology–density relation of early-type galaxies with MaNGA (2017)
Journal Article

The “kinematic” morphology–density relation for early-type galaxies posits that those galaxies with low angular momentum are preferentially found in the highest-density regions of the universe. We use a large sample of galaxy groups with halo masses... Read More about SDSS-IV MaNGA: probing the kinematic morphology–density relation of early-type galaxies with MaNGA.

Quantum chaos for nonstandard symmetry classes in the Feingold-Peres model of coupled tops (2017)
Journal Article

We consider two coupled quantum tops with angular momentum vectors L and M. The coupling Hamiltonian defines the Feingold-Peres model, which is a known paradigm of quantum chaos. We show that this model has a nonstandard symmetry with respect to the... Read More about Quantum chaos for nonstandard symmetry classes in the Feingold-Peres model of coupled tops.

‘I’ve no fear of dying alone’: exploring perspectives on living and dying alone (2017)
Journal Article

Dying alone is portrayed as undesirable in terms of policy, health and social care provision, the wishes of family and friends, and in popular culture. Despite this, people do often die alone, both in institutional and domestic settings. This paper r... Read More about ‘I’ve no fear of dying alone’: exploring perspectives on living and dying alone.

Imagine arts: how the arts can transform care homes (2017)
Journal Article

There is a growing body of evidence that demonstrates that the arts have an important role in the care of people with dementia. The Baring Foundation, a UK based organisation which aims to improve the quality of life of those who may be disadvantaged... Read More about Imagine arts: how the arts can transform care homes.

Impression creep test of a P91 steel: a round robin programme (2017)
Journal Article

The process of standardisation of small specimen creep testing techniques, specifically the impression creep test requires the repeatability of the test method. In this study it is accomplished through a round robin programme involving four different... Read More about Impression creep test of a P91 steel: a round robin programme.

A non-imaging high throughput approach to chemical library screening at the unmodified adenosine-A3 receptor in living cells (2017)
Journal Article

Recent advances in fluorescent ligand technology have enabled the study of G protein-coupled receptors in their native environment without the need for genetic modification such as addition of N-terminal fluorescent or bioluminescent tags. Here, we h... Read More about A non-imaging high throughput approach to chemical library screening at the unmodified adenosine-A3 receptor in living cells.

Magnetic monopole mass bounds from heavy ion collisions and neutron stars (2017)
Journal Article

Magnetic monopoles, if they exist, would be produced amply in strong magnetic fields and high temperatures via the thermal Schwinger process. Such circumstances arise in heavy-ion collisions and in neutron stars, both of which imply lower bounds on t...

Macroeconomic and financial stability in a monetary union: the case of Lithuania (2017)
Journal Article

In this paper, we study the implications for macroeconomic and financial stability of macroprudential policies in a monetary union. With this purpose, we develop a two-country monetary union new Keynesian general equilibrium model with housing and co...

Efficient bio-production of citramalate using an engineered Escherichia coli strain (2017)
Journal Article

Citramalic acid is a central intermediate in a combined biocatalytic and chemocatalytic route to produce bio-based methylmethacrylate, the monomer used to manufacture Perspex and other high performance materials. We developed an engineered E. coli st... Read More about Efficient bio-production of citramalate using an engineered Escherichia coli strain.

Lattice-Matched Epitaxial Graphene Grown on Boron Nitride (2017)
Journal Article

Lattice-matched graphene on hexagonal boron nitride is expected to lead to the formation of a band-gap but requires the formation of highly strained material and has not hitherto been realised. We demonstrate that aligned, lattice-matched graphene ca... Read More about Lattice-Matched Epitaxial Graphene Grown on Boron Nitride.

Co-research with adults with Intellectual Disability: a systematic review (2017)
