The present study arises as a response to the historical controversy about the theoretical model of the hammer throw and performance. It starts from the fluctuations produced in the tangential velocity in the centre of gravity (CG) of the hammer…

Fixation-free rehalogenating bleaching is an interesting for the production of phase holograms. The shrinkage of the emulsion is reduced in comparison with other bleaching methods (reversal bleaching or rehalogenating bleaching with fixation). In this paper we present experimental results for…

Equations are derived for determining third-order wavefront aberrations in the plane of the exit pupil from the known aberration in the plane of a holographic lens. Using the transformation equations of wavefront aberration when the plane of the exit pupil…

We examine the evolution of the refractive index modulation when recording gratings in an acrylamide based photopolymer. A nonlocal diffusion model is used to predict theoretically the grating evolution. The model has been developed to account for both nonlocal spatial…

Melanie Peter, Senior Lecturer in Education and Early Childhood at Anglia Ruskin University, argues that the ability to engage in narrative stems from early interactive play formats and is essential for perceiving patterns and sequences in life – the fabric…

To investigate the effect of altering the spherical aberration (SA) of the eye on the static accommodative response.

METHODS:
Participants were fitted with nominally afocal contact lenses with controlled amounts…

A new fully microwave-assisted liquid sample introduction system (MASIS) is presented and evaluated in Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometry (ICP-AES). The device employs a single TM010 microwave cavity for the simultaneous aerosol generation and desolvation. The different experimental requirements…

The notion of ‘participation’ has growing currency at many levels of social policy in the UK where the Labour government uses it to
denote the engagement of ‘local people’ in decision-making about the services and structures which affect their daily…

Market-based instruments have long been advocated on efficiency and welfare grounds, particularly by academics as a means of dealing with congestion and traffic-related pollution in urban areas. This paper details a survey of key UK stakeholders, namely local politicians, local…

John Dee, ‘Queen Elizabeth’s conjuror’, as a recent biography has called him, has attracted considerable attention during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries among intellectual historians of the English Renaissance, including historians of science. During the last two decades especially there…
