A generic π* shape resonance observed in energy-dependent photoelectron angular distributions from two-colour, resonant multiphoton ionization of difluorobenzene isomers
Journal Article
Staniforth, M., Daly, S., Reid, K. L., & Powis, I. A generic π* shape resonance observed in energy-dependent photoelectron angular distributions from two-colour, resonant multiphoton ionization of difluorobenzene isomers. Journal of Chemical Physics, 139(6), Article 064304. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.4817324

We present new evidence for the existence of a near threshold π* shape resonance as a common feature in the photoionization of each isomer of difluorobenzene. Experimentally this is revealed by significant changes in the anisotropy of the photoelectr...

Global warming is dead, long live global heating?
Journal Article
Hulme, M., Nerlich, B., & Pearce, W. (2014). Global warming is dead, long live global heating?

We discuss how global heating is used in comparison to global warming, look at its semantic history and examine the communicative problems it may pose and the confusion it may lead to.

This article examines the motif of the hut in the work of Paul Celan and J. H. Prynne, as a metaphor for poetry which also mediates the relationship between poetry, language and place. Both Prynne and Celan’s use of the hut motif intersects with the... Read More about "Stark, necessary and not permanent": huts in the work of Paul Celan and J.H. Prynne.

Validation of spatial microsimulation models: a proposal to adopt the Bland-Altman method
Journal Article
Timmins, K. A., & Edwards, K. L. (in press). Validation of spatial microsimulation models: a proposal to adopt the Bland-Altman method. International Journal of Microsimulation, 9(2),

Model validation is recognised as crucial to microsimulation modelling. However, modellers encounter difficulty in choosing the most meaningful methods to compare simulated and actual values.
