Continuing Professional Development: rhetoric and practice in the NHS
(2008)This article explores the experience of Continuing Professional Development (CPD) by supervisory level clinical staff in the National Health Service. Four main themes are highlighted in the literature, namely the nature ... -
Continuing the epidemiological function of the Addicts Index - evidence from matching the Home Office Addicts Index with the National Drug Treatment Monitoring System
(2004-04)Aims: We discuss the Addicts Index (AI) and examine whether the epidemiological trends of the AI can be continued by the regional drug misuse databases (DMDs, now known as National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS). ... -
Continuity : From Garden Cities to New Towns
(University of Hertfordshire Press, 2014-06) -
Continuity and Discontinuity in Visual Experience
(1992)The argument I wish to develop describes one of the threads of continuity throughout Wittgenstein's work. Evidence for it may be found in his memorable use of visual analogy, for example of "seeing an aspect" through the ... -
The continuity of care : Should the six cs be seven?
(2013-12-12)Care; compassion; competence; communication; courage; commitment are the pillars of good care in a variety of settings by health professionals (NHS, 2013). But it is rather difficult to achieve these laudable aims without ... -
Continuity, contingency and context : Bringing the historian's cognitive toolkit into university futures and public policy development
(2012-03-01)This paper explores the affinities between the cognitive approaches of historical study and those of strategic foresight, specifically, scenario planning, drawing out their capacity to problematise perceived certainties ... -
Continuous administration of rotigotine to MPTP-treated common marmosets enhances anti-parkinsonian activity and reduces dyskinesia induction
(2009-10)Rotigotine is a novel, non-ergoline dopamine D-3/D-2/D-1-receptor agonist for the treatment of Parkinson's disease that can be Continuously delivered by the transdermal route to provide stable plasma levels. Continuous ... -
Continuous bio-aerosol monitoring in a tropical environment using a UV fluorescence and light scattering instrument
(University of Hertfordshire, 2008)This paper describes an instrument designed to achieve the continuous monitoring of ambient bio-aerosol concentrations. The instrument is a compact, relatively low-cost, UV aerosol spectrometer that monitors and classifies ... -
Continuous bioaerosol monitoring in a tropical environment using a UV fluorescence particle spectrometer
(2011)An instrument designed to continuously monitor ambient bioaerosol concentrations is presented. The instrument is a compact, relatively low-cost, UV aerosol spectrometer that monitors and classifies individual airborne ... -
Continuous delivery of ropinirole reverses motor deficits without dyskinesia induction in MPTP-treated common marmosets
(2008-05)L-DOPA treatment of Parkinson's disease induces a high incidence of motor complications, notably dyskinesia. Longer acting dopamine agonists, e.g. ropinirole, are thought to produce more continuous dopaminergic stimulation ... -
Continuous discrete-event simulation of a continuous-media server I/O subsystem
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2000)When designing computer systems, simulation tools are used to imitate a real or proposed system. Complex, dynamic systems can be simulated without the cost and time constraints involved with real systems. Experimentation ... -
Continuous rotigotine administration reduces dyskinesia resulting from pulsatile treatment with rotigotine or L-DOPA in MPTP-treated common marmosets
(2010-01)We previously showed that continuous infusion of rotigotine resulted in less dyskinesia than repeated pulsatile rotigotine administration or repeated oral administration Of L-DOPA in MPTP-treated marmosets. Now we investigate ... -
Continuous Steepest Descent Path for Traversing Non-Convex Regions
(2016-05-12)In this thesis, we investigate methods of finding a local minimum for unconstrained problems of non-convex functions with n variables, by following the solution curve of a system of ordinary differential equations. The ... -
Continuous steepest descent path for traversing non-convex regions
(2009)This paper revisits the ideas of seeking unconstrained minima by following a continuous steepest descent path (CSDP). We are especially interested in the merits of such an approach in regions where the objective function ... -
Continuous subcutaneous infusion of pramipexole protects against lipopolysaccharide-induced dopaminergic cell death without affecting the inflammatory response
(2008-08)The D2/D3 dopamine receptor agonist pramipexole, protects against toxin-induced dopaminergic neuronal destruction but its mechanism of action is unknown. Inflammation following glial cell activation contributes to cell ... -
Continuous-mode 448 kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency induces greater deep blood flow changes compared to pulsed mode shortwave: a crossover study in healthy adults
(2017-07-03)Aims: Radiofrequency-based electrophysical agents (EPAs) have been used in therapy practice over several decades (e.g. shortwave therapies). Currently, there is insufficient evidence supporting such EPAs operating below ... -
Continuously variable mixing-ratio micromixer with elastomer valves
(2005-10)We report a self-contained microfluidic alternate flow injection mixer (AFIM) employing piezoelectrically actuated, PDMS seal-valves to control injection. AFIMs employ pulsatile injection of liquids to enhance interface ... -
Continuum model of tendon pathology - where are we now?
(2013-08)Chronic tendon pathology is a common and often disabling condition, the causes of which remain poorly understood. The continuum model of tendon pathology was proposed to provide a model for the staging of tendon pathology ...
