Dunfermline GPR Draft R3 - 2019
No full textThese are the results of a ground-penetrating radar pilot survey in search of the remains of the over-built monastic choir of the medieval Benedictine Abbey of Dunfermline in Fife, Scotland. This third stage surveyed the Abbey Church south transept exteriors, identifying possible architectural features at the medieval depths. This work was undertaken on 21st-22nd August 2019 by Erica Carrick Utsi of EMC Radar Consulting assisted by Mr Alex Birtwistle of Atlas Geophysical and Dr Michael Penman of the University of Stirling. The work was commissioned by Dr Penman as part of his research into the medieval royal mausoleum of Dunfermline, with the kind permission of the Abbey Church of Dunfermline Kirk Session, Fife Council and Historic Environment Scotland, and funded by the Faculty of Arts & Humanities of the University of Stirling. Erica Utsi is the GPR data report's sole author and retains copyright of its underlying IP and scan data. These results, and those reporting two further pilot stage surveys of 2016 and 2017 (also written by Erica Utsi, available through this repository and the websites of Dunfermline Abbey Church and Historic Environment Scotland [CANMORE database]), are in turn interpreted in our project-end report (also available through these repositories): M.

This work was undertaken on 13-14th June 2016 by Erica Carrick Utsi of EMC Radar Consulting assisted by Dr Oliver O'Grady of OJT Heritage and Dr Michael Penmen of the University of Stirling. The work was commissioned by Dr Penman as part of his research into the medieval royal mausoleum of Dunfermline, with the kind permission of the Abbey Church of Dunfermline Kirk Session, and funded by the G.W.S. Barrow Award and the Strathmartine Trust. Erica Utsi is the GPR data report's sole author and retains copyright of its underlying IP and scan data.

Dunfermline Draft GPR R2 - 2017
No full textThese are the results of a ground-penetrating radar pilot survey in search of the remains of the over-built monastic choir of the medieval Benedictine Abbey of Dunfermline in Fife, Scotland. This second stage surveyed the Abbey Church north transept exteriors (east and weast, atop the medieval Lady Chapel) and the central east-end (atop the medieval chancel/altar), identifying numerous possible burials and architectural features at the medieval depths. This work was undertaken on 12-14th June 2017 by Erica Carrick Utsi of EMC Radar Consulting assisted by Dr Oliver O'Grady of OJT Heritage and Dr Michael Penmen of the University of Stirling. The work was commissioned by Dr Penman as part of his research into the medieval royal mausoleum of Dunfermline, with the kind permission of the Abbey Church of Dunfermline Kirk Session, Fife Council and Historic Enviornment Scotland, and funded by the Royal Society of Edinburgh.

q-Differential equations for q-classical polynomials and q-Jacobi-Stirling numbers
No full textWe introduce, characterise and provide a combinatorial interpretation for the so-called q-Jacobi–Stirling numbers.
This study is motivated by their key role in the (reciprocal) expansion of any power of a second order
q-differential operator having the q-classical polynomials as eigenfunctions in terms of other even order operators,
which we explicitly construct in this work. The results here obtained can be viewed as the q-version of
those given by Everitt et al. and by the first author, whilst the combinatorics of this new set of numbers is a
q-version of the Jacobi–Stirling numbers given by Gelineau and the second author
Estimating the Price of ROCs
No full textThe UK government introduced the Renewable Obligation (RO), a system of tradable quotas, to encourage the installation of renewable electricity capacity. Each unit of generation from renewables created a renewable obligation certificate (ROC). Electricity generators must either; earn ROCs through their own production, purchase ROCs in the market or pay the buy-out price to comply with the quota set by the RO. A unique aspect of this regulation is that all entities holding ROCs receive a share of the buy-out fund (the sum of all compliance purchases using the buy-out price). This set-up ensures that the difference between the market price for ROCs and the buy-out price should equal the expected share of the buy-out fund, as regulated entities arbitrage these two compliance options. The expected share of the buy-out fund depends on whether enough renewable generation is available to meet the quota. This analysis tests whether variables associated with renewable generation or electricity demand are correlated with, and thus can help predict, the price of ROCs
Rule-Understanding, subjective preferences, and social display rules
No full textDataset 1 is a straight replication of the original true and false belief conditions in Buttelmann, Carpenter and Tomasello (2009). Materials were produced according to the description in Buttelmann et al. (2009) and we videotaped our procedure and received written feedback from the first author (David Buttelmann). Overall, 45 children between 18 and 32 months (Mage=24.47, SD=4.08, 20 girls) participated in the study. The age range was chosen to cover the range between BCT’s youngest in their sample of 18 month olds in Study 2 and their oldest in Study 1. Data were collected in the Theory of mind Child Lab of the University of Salzburg (n=20), the Parent-Toddler Group of the University of Stirling, (n=17) and in the Little Stars Nursery (n=8). Seventeen children had to be excluded because of parental/teacher error (3), fussiness (10), unclear responses (2), or because they did not respond to any helping request by opening or at least touching one of the boxes (2). The main finding in our study shows that children were more likely to help find a toy in the false belief than in the true belief condition. The data do not clearly speak against the null-hypothesis.Dataset 1, Excel spreadshee

Feasibility study of dish/stirling power systems in Turkey
No full text© 2017 Author(s).In this study, two different commercial dish/stirling systems, SES (Stirling Energy Systems) and WGA-ADDS (WGAssociates - Advanced Dish Development System), are modeled using the "System Advisor Model" (SAM) modeling software in designated settlement areas. Both systems are modeled for the US state of Albuquerque, where they were designed, and Turkish provinces of Ankara, Van, Muǧla, Mersin, Urfa and Konya. At first, the dish/stirling system is optimized according to the power output values and the system loss parameters. Then, the layout of the solar field is designed with an installed capacity of 600kW both of SES and WGA-ADDS systems, Upon securing the most suitable layout, the system is modeled for the aforementioned settlements using the optimum output values gathered from the parametric analysis. As a result of the simulation studies, the applicability of this model is discussed according to the power output and the efficiency. Although Turkey is located in an area called "the sun belt" where solar energy technologies can be used, there is no advanced application of these systems. This study aims to discuss the application of these systems in detail and to pave the way for future studies in this field
