The role of cold volcanic debris in glacier ablation. AGU fall meeting EP51B-0846 (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Hobbs, L., Gilbert, J., & Lane, S. (2011, December). The role of cold volcanic debris in glacier ablation. AGU fall meeting EP51B-0846. Presented at AGU Fall Meeting 2011, San Francisco, USA

Debris deposits on ice can either enhance or hinder glacial ablation relative to a clean ice surface. The effect of debris on ice is dependent on whether its thickness is above or below a critical thickness. This is the thickness at which ablation of...

Journal Article

Relearning in semantic dementia reflects contributions from both medial temporal lobe episodic and degraded neocortical semantic systems: Evidence in support of the complementary learning systems theory. Neuropsychologia, 49(13), 3591-3598. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.neuropsychologia.2011.09.010

When relearning words, patients with semantic dementia (SD) exhibit a characteristic rigidity, including a failure to generalise names to untrained exemplars of trained concepts. This has been attributed to an over-reliance on the medial temporal reg...

Biology and computing (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Gale, E. (2011, November). Biology and computing. Presented at Faculty Research Colloquium, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK

Memristors, the recently discovered 4th fundamental circuit element, have been used as models for biological components, such as neurons. It may be that neurons are memristors, rather than just conveniently modeled by them. This presentation covers r... Read More about Biology and computing.

Angewandte Chemie International Edition, 50(37), 8722-8726. https://doi.org/10.1002/anie.201102791

Silicon nanogaps were bridged in situ by grafting 4-ethynylbenzaldehyde to activate the electrodes and coupling 2,6-diaminoanthra-9,10-quinone to link the coatings. The bridged structures exhibit currents of 11-14 nA at 1 V. The process is reversed b...
