Wide-angle camera technology for automotive applications: a review
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2009-01-01)The development of electronic vision systems for the automotive market is a strongly growing field, driven in particular by customer demand to increase the safety of vehicles both for drivers and for other road users, ... -
Widespread exploitation of the honeybee by early neolithic farmers
(Springer Nature, 2015-11-11)The pressures on honeybee (Apis mellifera) populations, resulting from threats by modern pesticides, parasites, predators and diseases, have raised awareness of the economic importance and critical role this insect plays ... -
Widespread white matter microstructural differences in schizophrenia across 4322 individuals: results from the enigma schizophrenia dti working group
(Springer Nature, 2017-10-17)The regional distribution of white matter (WM) abnormalities in schizophrenia remains poorly understood, and reported disease effects on the brain vary widely between studies. In an effort to identify commonalities across ... -

Will life be worth living in a world without work? technological unemployment and the meaning of life
(Springer Nature, 2016-03-11)Suppose we are about to enter an era of increasing technological unemployment. What implications does this have for society? Two distinct ethical/social issues would seem to arise. The first is one of distributive justice: ... -
Wind speed dependent size-resolved parameterization for the organic mass fraction of sea spray aerosol
(Copernicus GmbH, 2011-08-30)For oceans to be a significant source of primary organic aerosol (POA), sea spray aerosol (SSA) must be highly enriched with organics relative to the bulk seawater. We propose that organic enrichment at the air-sea interface, ... -
Wind speed influences on marine aerosol optical depth
(Hindawi Limited, 2010-01-01)The Mulcahy (Mulcahy et al., 2008) power-law parameterization, derived at the coastal Atlantic station Mace Head, between clean marine aerosol optical depth (AOD) and wind speed is compared to open ocean MODIS-derived AOD ... -
Wind-driven influences on aerosol light scattering in north-east atlantic air
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2012-03-01)Ten years (2001-2010) of aerosol light-scattering measurements in N.E. Atlantic marine air are analysed to determine wind-speed related influences on scattering properties. The scattering coefficient and the backscattering ... -
Winter measurements of oceanic biogeochemical parameters in the rockall trough (2009–2012)
(Copernicus GmbH, 2013-12-11)This paper describes the sampling and analysis of biogeochemical parameters collected in the Rockall Trough in January/February of 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012. Sampling was carried out along two transects, one southern and ... -
Winter migration and diving behaviour of porbeagle shark, lamna nasus, in the northeast atlantic
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-09-29)The porbeagle is one of the top marine predators in the North Atlantic. However, little is known about its biology, abundance, or spatial ecology there. Results are presented on the migration and behaviour of three porbeagles ... -

Wiring of photosystem i and hydrogenase on an electrode for photoelectrochemical h2production by using redox polymers for relatively positive onset potential
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016-09-28)PhotosystemI (PSI) is combined with Desulfovibrio gigas hydrogenase for the bioelectrocatalytic photosynthesis of hydrogen at an electrode surface. The activity of these two biocatalysts is linked by two redox polymers; a ... -
Within- and across-breed imputation of high-density genotypes in dairy and beef cattle from medium- and low-density genotypes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2013-12-05)The objective of this study was to evaluate, using three different genotype density panels, the accuracy of imputation from lower- to higher-density genotypes in dairy and beef cattle. High-density genotypes consisting of ... -
Witnessing the emergence of a carbon star
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2015-05-11)During the late stages of their evolution, Sun-like stars bring the products of nuclear burning to the surface. Most of the carbon in the Universe is believed to originate from stars with masses up to a few solar masses. ... -
Wnt signaling promotes oral but suppresses aboral structures in hydractinia metamorphosis and regeneration
(The Company of Biologists, 2010-08-04)We studied the role of Wnt signaling in axis formation during metamorphosis and regeneration in the cnidarian Hydractinia. Activation of Wnt downstream events during metamorphosis resulted in a complete oralization of the ... -
