Regulus modestus, Gould, a British bird

Converting Grammatical Framework to Regulus

We present an algorithm for converting Grammatical Framework grammars (Ranta, 2004) into the Regulus unification-based framework (Rayner et al., 2006). The main purpose is to take advantage of the Regulusto-Nuance compiler for generating optimized speech recognition grammars. But there is also a theoretical interest in knowing how similar the two grammar formalisms are. Since Grammatical Framew...

nature neuroscience • volume 2 no 3 • march 1999 The involvement of the hippocampal formation in learning has been recognized for decades1,2, but the cellular mechanisms underlying this association remain enigmatic. The hippocampal formation produces new neurons throughout adulthood in many vertebrates, from birds to primates3–8; however, although the number of neurons produced is high, the fun...

Mathematical models of a tick borne disease in a British game bird with potential management strategies

Louping ill virus (LIV) is a tick borne disease that causes mortality in red grouse, an economically important game bird of British uplands. The aim of this thesis is to extend previously published models of LIV , to consider the potential impact of different management strategies. In addition a new route of infection and the seasonal biology of both grouse and ticks will be explored. Grouse ch...

The past and Future History of Regulus

We show how the recent discovery of a likely close white dwarf companion to the well known star Regulus, one of the brightest stars in the sky, leads to considerable insight into the prior evolutionary history of this star, including the cause of its current rapid rotation. We infer a relatively narrow range for the initial masses of the progenitor system: M10 = 2.3± 0.2 M and M20 = 1.7± 0.2 M ...
