The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey: spectra and redshifts
The 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) is designed to measure redshifts for approximately 250 000 galaxies. This paper describes the survey design, the spectroscopic observatio...
Clinical findings in a group of patients infected with the 2019 novel coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) outside of Wuhan, China: retrospective case series
Abstract Objective To study the clinical characteristics of patients in Zhejiang province, China, infected with the 2019 severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Co...
Bayes Estimates for the Linear Model
Summary The usual linear statistical model is reanalyzed using Bayesian methods and the concept of exchangeability. The general method is illustrated by applications to two-fact...
X. The Bakerian Lecture. —Experimental relations of gold (and other metals) to light
That wonderful production of the human mind, the undulatory theory of light, with the phenomena for which it strives to account, seems to me, who am only an experimentalist, to ...
The clustering of galaxies in the SDSS-III Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey: baryon acoustic oscillations in the Data Releases 10 and 11 Galaxy samples
We present a one per cent measurement of the cosmic distance scale from the detections of the baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) in the clustering of galaxies from the Baryon Os...
The interpretation of a moving retinal image
It is shown that from a monocular view of a rigid, textured, curved surface it is possible, in principle, to determine the gradient of the surface at any point, and the motion o...
Quantum computational networks
The theory of quantum computational networks is the quantum generalization of the theory of logic circuits used in classical computing machines. Quantum gates are the generaliza...
An energy principle for hydromagnetic stability problems
The problem of the stability of static, highly conducting, fully ionized plasmas is investigated by means of an energy principle developed from one introduced by Lundquist. The ...
Establishing rigour in qualitative research: the decision trail
The aim of this paper is to show the way in which the decision trail of a qualitative research process can be maintained. It is argued that the trustworthiness (rigour) of a stu...
Model Uncertainty, Data Mining and Statistical Inference
This paper takes a broad, pragmatic view of statistical inference to include all aspects of model formulation. The estimation of model parameters traditionally assumes that a mo...
An application of normal mode theory to the retrieval of structural parameters and source mechanisms from seismic spectra
A cyclic process of refining models of the mechanical structure of the Earth and models of the mechanism of one or more earthquakes is developed. The theory of the elastic-gravi...
