An annotated bibliography and webography of sources related to practice research
This document was primarily created by Sophie Stone during June and July 2017 as a research assistant to the Centre for Practice Based Research in the Arts at Canterbury Christ Church University as part of a project examining the resources available to support Practice Researchers.
The purpose of the bibliography and webography is to assist Practice Researchers (both new and experienced) in their research within academia and beyond, for example, within a methodological review chapter; when preparing written work for journals that publish Practice Research; when preparing documentation for research assessment exercises; when learning about documentation, presentation and dissemination
The Effect of the Hall Term on the Nonlinear Evolution of the Magnetorotational Instability: I. Local Axisymmetric Simulations
The effect of the Hall term on the evolution of the magnetorotational
instability (MRI) in weakly ionized accretion disks is investigated using local
axisymmetric simulations. First, we show that the Hall term has important
effects on the MRI when the temperature and density in the disk is below a few
thousand K and between 10^13 and 10^18 cm^{-3} respectively. Such conditions
can occur in the quiescent phase of dwarf nova disks, or in the inner part
(inside 10 - 100 AU) of protoplanetary disks. When the Hall term is important,
the properties of the MRI are dependent on the direction of the magnetic field
with respect to the angular velocity vector \Omega. If the disk is threaded by
a uniform vertical field oriented in the same sense as \Omega, the axisymmetric
evolution of the MRI is an exponentially growing two-channel flow without
saturation. When the field is oppositely directed to \Omega, however, small
scale fluctuations prevent the nonlinear growth of the channel flow and the MRI
evolves into MHD turbulence. These results are anticipated from the
characteristics of the linear dispersion relation. In axisymmetry on a field
with zero-net flux, the evolution of the MRI is independent of the size of the
Hall term relative to the inductive term. The evolution in this case is
determined mostly by the effect of ohmic dissipation.Comment: 31 pages, 3 tables, 12 figures, accepted for publication in ApJ,

Heavy Ions in the October 1989 Solar Flares Observed on the Galileo Spacecraft
Composition measurements were made of the energetic
particles produced in the series of large flares which began on 19 October 1989, using the Galileo Heavy Ion Counter which is sensitive to nuclei ranging from carbon (Z=6) to nickel (Z=28) over an energy range from about 5 MeV/nucleon to >70 MeV/nucleon. The observations are unique in that clean, statistically well-measured abundances are available for heavy ions for an unusually large flare. For elements with low First Ionization Potential (FIP), these results show the same correlation of relative abundances
with the ion charge to mass ratio as the earlier Voyager observations of solar energetic particles 1 . After correction for selection on the basis of this charge to mass ratio, the abundances of all the elements measured
show the expected step-function correlation with FIP, when compared to the spectroscopic photspheric abundances

Semileptonic decays of pseudoscalar mesons to scalar "f_0" meson
The transition form factors of (D_s -> f_0 l nu), (D -> f_0 l nu) and (B_u ->
f_0 l nu) decays are calculated in 3-point QCD sum rule method, assuming that
"f_0" is a quark-antiquark state with a mixture of strange and light quarks.
The branching ratios of these decays are calculated in terms of the mixing
angle.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figures, LaTeX formatte
