British 21st Infantry Division on the Western Front 1914 - 1918: A Case Study in Tactical Evolution
… experienced by the British Expeditionary Force (BEF). 21st Division was a New Army division, typical of those raised after the declaration of war, and its performance throughout the war may be regarded as indicative of the progress or otherwise of these units within the BEF. The conclusions are …

The importance of interaction strength for food web dynamics and ecosystem functioning
… Biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) research has explored the likely consequences of biodiversity loss on the functioning of natural systems and the provision of important ecosystem services. Empirical tests of BEF theory often consist of simplified laboratory and field …

Recognizing expressive movement in arm gestures using Hidden Markov Models
… which are described as the Basic Effort Factors (BEF) in LMA and we construct a classifier for each BEF using HMMs. We use a Microsoft Kinect to capture the body movement and try to recognize the quality of each BEF in hand gestures. Various preprocessing are done on the motion data to extract …

Simulation of Irradiation of a Molten Salt Loop at the MIT Reactor
… use in MSRs. The salts considered are FLiBe, LiF-BeF₂-ZrF₄-UF₄ used in the MSRE, LiF-BeF₂-UF₄ suggested as a fuel salt by Terrestrial Energy and Flibe Energy, LiF-BeF₂-ThF₄ suggested as a blanket salt by Flibe Energy, and NaCl-UCl₃ suggested as a fuel salt by TerraPower. FLiBe will generate 1.413 …

‘A matter of persistence’: Lessons learnt by the British Expeditionary Force and its operational development following The Battle of Festubert, 15-25 May 1915
… an important insight in the development of the BEF during this period, despite it being neglected in much of the historiography concerning the British Army in the First World War. It focuses on how well the BEF’s First Army, commanded by General Haig, was organised and equipped upon entering the …

Analysis of recursive cache-adaptive algorithms
… In 2014, the cache-adaptive model was proposed [BEF+14]. The cache-adaptive model is a model where the cache can change in size when a cache miss occurs [BEF+14]. In more recent work, to be published, methods for analysis in the cache-adaptive context are proposed [MABM]. In this thesis we …

The diversity and functioning of coastal microbial communities
… and their biodiversity-ecosystem functioning (BEF) relationships. Therefore, there is great importance in researching these aspects in greater detail. In order to do this kind of analysis, large datasets are needed to properly capture the nuances of microbial communities. The CBESS (Coastal …

The evolution of infantry brigade command in the British Army on the Western Front, 1916-1918
… learning process. Much like that of the wider BEF however, this process was complex and uneven. As a consequence, the development and battlefield performance of the brigades varied in accordance with factors of an external and internal nature: of these, the influence of the corps or division …

Tritium retention in nuclear graphite, system-level transport, and management strategies for the fluoride-salt-cooled high-temperature reactor
… (FHR), which combines a molten Flibe (2LiF-BeF₂) salt coolant and tri-structural isotropic coated-particle fuel to produce power or process heat. Compared to current water-cooled reactors, managing tritium release from a FHR is further complicated by the mobility of tritium at high …

Thermal hydraulic design of a salt-cooled highly efficient environmentally friendly reactor
… The reactor uses the binary salt NaF-BeF₂ as the primary coolant, and uses U-Zr-H as fuel and to provide neutron moderation. Design options were studied under the constraints of maximum fuel temperature of 720[degree]C, and a vessel wall temperature similar to today's reactors (i.e. …

The Influence of Plant Diversity on Soil Physical Properties in Grasslands.
… Such studies of biodiversity-ecosystem function (BEF) relationships have generated a wealth of knowledge on the consequences of diversity loss for a range of ecosystem processes, such as primary productivity, nutrient cycling and the stability of communities under environmental change. However, …

Modelización de la producción de biomasa de Eucalyptus nitens (Deane & Maiden) Maiden en corta rotación para cultivo energético
… de biomasa, factores de expansión de la biomasa (BEFs) y ecuaciones de BEF. Las ecuaciones ajustadas explicaron un alto porcentaje de la variabilidad de los datos mientras que los BEFs constantes proporcionaron estimaciones menos precisas para todos los componentes, por ello se recomienda evitar …

‘Soldier-Diplomat: a reassessment of Sir Henry Wilson’s influence on British Strategy in the last 18 months of the Great War’
Sir Henry Wilson remains one of the most controversial British Army generals of the Great War. A colourful character in life, he attracted admirers and detractors in equal measure; in death, his reputation was ruined by a biography based on his personal diaries. The Wilson of the historiography is, …
