Modelling the rocking dynamics of objects with irregular geometry by Burton, MD

“…Thus, this thesis aims to fill the knowledge gap of the dynamics of irregular objects by introducing new rocking models for planar and 3-D rocking which take into account the full irregular geometry of such objects. …”

The undomesticated Rock Dove in Britain and the Isle of Man by Smith, W

“…The domestic pigeon’s ancestor, the wild Rock Dove, is, however, something of an enigma: following extensive hybridisation with Feral Pigeons across its range (with many populations of Rock Doves becoming extinct by hybridisation with Feral Pigeons), little is known of its contemporary distribution, nor of the genetic purity of the remaining populat- ions. …”

Rock art: a marker of concepts and practices by Nimura, C, O'Sullivan, R, Hommel, P

“…Rock art is found across the globe and has been used, with varying levels of success, as evidence of cultural connections between different communities. …”
