Role for lichen melanins in uranium remediation (1998)
Journal Article
McLean, J., Purvis, O. W., Williamson, B. J., & Bailey, E. H. (1998). Role for lichen melanins in uranium remediation. Nature, 391(6668), 649-650. https://doi.org/10.1038/35533

Lichens are successful colonizers in extreme terrestrial habitats world-wide, including metalliferous environments1. Their ability to accumulate metals has led to their use in monitoring radionuclide fall-out from Chernobyl and uranium uptake from du...

The classical evaluation of relativistic spin networks (1998)
Journal Article
Barrett, J. W. (1998). The classical evaluation of relativistic spin networks. https://doi.org/10.4310/atmp.1998.v2.n3.a7

The evaluation of a relativistic spin network for the classical case of the Lie group SU(2) is given by an integral formula over copies of SU(2). For the graph determined by a 4-simplex this gives the evaluation as an integral over a space of geometr... Read More about The classical evaluation of relativistic spin networks.

The asylum, the workhouse, and the voice of the insane poor in nineteenth century England (1998)

The history of psychiatry is not merely the history of psychiatrists; it is also the history of patients. In this paper, admission records and case notes of a county asylum are used to consider the attitudes of those confined within it, and how the...

Hexagonal patterns in finite domains (1998)
Journal Article
Matthews, P. (1998). Hexagonal patterns in finite domains. Physica D: Nonlinear Phenomena, 116,

In many mathematical models for pattern formation, a regular hexagonal pattern is stable in an infinite region. However, laboratory and numerical experiments are carried out in finite domains, and this imposes certain constraints on the possible patt... Read More about Hexagonal patterns in finite domains.

From "Rational Utopia" to "Will-to-Utopia". On the "Post-modern" Turn in the Recent Work of Agnes Heller (1998)
Journal Article

The inverse forecast effect (1997)
Journal Article
Clarke, D., & Blake, H. (1997). The inverse forecast effect

Social behaviour depends crucially on the way events are linked over time, and on how these linkages are perceived. From a given event, people may be able to infer what followed, or what preceded it. However these two tasks are not as similar as they... Read More about The inverse forecast effect.
