Cotangent Schubert Calculus in Grassmannians
We find formulas for the Segre-MacPherson classes of Schubert cells in T-equivariant cohomology and the motivic Segre classes of Schubert cells in T-equivariant K-theory. In doing so we look at the pushforward of the projection map from the Bott-Samelson (Kempf-Laksov) desingularization to the …

Fraisse Theory for Metric Structures
… that is a generalization of a theorem of H. D. Macpherson about the automorphism groups of o-categorical structures.

Enlightened Agricultural Improvement in Eighteenth-Century Scotland
… of Ossian’s translated poems by James Macpherson. This patriotic devotion to Scottish culture influenced the way that Kames went about “improving” his own lands and who he chose to work on them. There were parts of Scottish culture that were depicted in these poems regarding Gaelic …

On the Homotopy Theory of Stratified Spaces
… object of Strₚ is the exit-path ∞-category of MacPherson, Treumann, and Lurie. To prove this stratified homotopy hypothesis, we define combinatorial simplicial model structure on the category of simplicial sets over the nerve of 𝑃 whose underlying ∞-category is the ∞-category Strₚ. This model …

The art of healing : A journey through cancer : Implications for art therapy
… incurable form of cancer (Mayo Clinic, 1996; Macpherson, 1995). The principles of Holistic Medicine and Arts Medicine provide the theoretical framework. Data was accumulated from multiple sources: in-depth, open-ended interviews; direct observation; video-tapes; audio-tapes; written …

Equivariant Chow groups and multiplicities
… of Fulton, Rossmann and Borho, Brylinski and Macpherson, our approach is new. The equivariant Chow groups have not been considered in the past and relating the equivariant multiplicities to the equivariant Chow groups is new as well.

Equivariant cohomology, homogeneous spaces and graphs
… ring H*G(M). In 1998, Goresky, Kottwitz and MacPherson provided a new method for computing this ring. Their method associates to this orbit space a graph [Gamma] whose vertices are the zero-dimensional orbits and edges the connected components of the set of one-dimensional orbits. The ring …

The metabolic responses of high intensity intermittent exercise in healthy untrained adults
… (Tremblay et al., 1994; Trapp et al., 2008; Macpherson et al., 2011; Gremeaux et al., 2012), which is optimal for fat oxidation rates and was once considered the best exercise type employed to lose body fat. A recent study attributed this enigma to the rapid burst of intense exercise with the …

"Mine" or "Ours": Property and Moral Reasoning
… Karl Marx, Erich Fromm, Erik Erikson, and C. B. Macpherson to examine the relationships between individuals’ attitudes toward private property relations and the kinds of “active” or “passive” cognitive processes individuals use when reasoning about moral problems. A sample of 139 graduate and …

Describing Cognitive Change in Normal Aging and Early-stage Dementia
… frontal executive hypothesis of healthy aging (MacPherson et al., 2002). Study 3 compared healthy older adults to individuals diagnosed with AD. Measures of clustering and switching did not reliably differentiate AD from healthy aging, which could have resulted from the heterogeneity of the AD …

Monitoring of the effectiveness of the Land Transport Safety Authority's drink driving advertisement campaign: a theoretical approach
… advertisement campaign, was first challenged by Macpherson and Lewis (1997). In response to the critics of the advertisement campaign, LTSA employed Cameron and Vulcan (1998), the experts on the Victorian model, to evaluate New Zealand's SRSP performance. The review by Cameron and Vulcan (1998) …

"Injustice on Their Backs and Justice on Their Minds": Political Activism and the Policing of London's Afro-Caribbean Community, 1945-1993
Sir William Macpherson’s conclusion - following his public inquiry into the racist murder of the black teenager Stephen Lawrence in 1993 - that the Metropolitan Police was ‘institutionally racist’, was a seminal moment for policing in Britain. The publication of the Macpherson report in 1999 has …

Assessing the influence of lifter profiles on the velocity profile and the charge toe and shoulder using data from the PEPT system
… energy efficiency would decrease. In Meaders & MacPherson, (1964) the effect of lifters on energy was quantified to be between 20% and 30%. The lifters control the height and angle of departure from the charge at the mill shell and therefore control the impact area and magnitude. The area and …

Evolution of copper-containing nitrite reductase
Copper-containing nitrite reductase (NiR) is a homotrimer of two cupredoxin domains and catalyzes the single electron reduction of NO2- to NO during dissimilatory denitrification. To investigate the evolution of NiR, methods of mutagenic library generation and high-throughput variant screening from …

Tracking and Exploiting Charge Carrier Movement and Photochemical Processes in Light-Harvesting Energy Materials
Global economies are transitioning towards net-zero emissions, but technological leaps are still needed to accelerate decarbonisation within the energy sector and beyond. Here, several novel material systems are studied to uncover physical properties which will dictate their suitability for use in …
