Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

Low luminosity elliptical galaxies [PDF]
Long-slit spectra for the photometric axes of a sample of 14 elliptical galaxies, predominantly low-luminosity ellipticals, in the Virgo cluster and in nearby groups, are studied to investigate the galaxy kinematical structure and stellar evolutionary ...

Active galaxies in the local Universe: Feedback, variability, and triggering
This thesis investigates the coevolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes. We use spatially resolved spectroscopic data to search for evidence of AGN feedback and triggering.

The crystal structures of the high‐temperature and low‐temperature phases of silver pyrophosphate are reported. The structural results are complemented by thermal analysis, vibrational and 31P‐MAS‐NMR spectroscopy studies, and density functional theory calculations.

An automated polarimeter and its use in the study of active galaxies [PDF]
In this thesis I present the design and development of an automated polarimeter for use in mapping the percentage levels and position angles of linearly polarized light from extended astronomical objects.

The ATLAS(3D) project - XXV. Two-dimensional kinematic analysis of simulated galaxies and the cosmological origin of fast and slow rotators [PDF]
We present a detailed two-dimensional stellar dynamical analysis of as ample of 44 cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of individual central galaxies with stellar masses of 2 x 1010Msun ∼≤ Mstar ∼≤ 6x 1011Msun.

On the Tully–Fisher Relation for Active Galaxies. I. Evidence of Larger Scatter
We present an investigation of the Tully–Fisher (TF) relation solely for galaxies hosting an active galactic nucleus (AGN). Using 22 galaxies with primary, z -independent distances, we find that active galaxies exhibit significantly larger scatter about ...

A low‐cost, portable, medium‐resolution polarizing digital light microscope device for monitoring crystal growth and for crystal harvesting is described. The device can be used with a cell phone or a personal computer for real‐time imaging by professional and amateur scientists alike.Motivated by the need for a convenient way to demonstrate the growth ...

A complete redshift sample of galaxies [PDF]
The role of complete redshift samples is discussed with particular attention focused on the need for new deeper and better controlled surveys for statistical clustering and dynamical studies.

‘A Sort of Armed Argument’: Ireland's Civil War of Words
Abstract This article sets out to contribute to the study of the languages of European civil wars through outlining and analysing the deployment of language as a weapon by the opposing sides of the Irish independence movement that split over the terms of the Anglo‐Irish Treaty of December 1921.
