Journal Article
S. Bolton, J., G. Haehnelt, M., Viel, M., & Springel, V. (2005). The Lyman-alpha forest opacity and the metagalactic hydrogen ionization rate at z~2-4. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 357(4), 1178–1188. https://doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-2966.2005.08704.x

Estimates of the metagalactic hydrogen ionization rate from the Lyman-alpha forest opacity in QSO absorption spectra depend on the complex density distribution of neutral hydrogen along the line-of-sight. We use a large suite of high resolution hydro... Read More about The Lyman-alpha forest opacity and the metagalactic hydrogen ionization rate at z~2-4.

The area of Notting Hill in west London has been subject to much media coverage in recent years, which, along with substantial gentrification, has given rise to an image of the area as the epitome of fashionable London. This study investigates the vi... Read More about Narratives great and small: neighbourhood change, place and identity in Notting Hill.

A mandate to self archive? The role of open access institutional repositories (2005)
Journal Article

Movements of interfaces can be analyzed in terms of whether they are expected, sensed, and desired. Expected movements are those that users naturally perform; sensed are those that can be measured by a computer; and desired movements are those that a...

Introgression in Festulolium is a potentially powerful tool to isolate genes for a large number of traits which differ between Festuca pratensis Huds. and Lolium perenne L. Not only are hybrids between the two species fertile, but the two genomes can...
