Implications of the Method of Construction of UK Number Plates for Infrared Reflectance and Camera Settings on ANPR System
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-10-01)This paper considers the implications of two aspects of number plates firstly the varied manufacturing process in the physical construction of vehicle number plates that might affect the reflectance characteristics and ... -
The implications of the Montgomery judgment on pharmacy practice and patients with learning disability
(2017-11-28)The judgment in Montgomery v Lanarkshire (Scotland) 2015 introduced a new definition of informed consent which has implications for all healthcare professionals. This article focuses specifically on the implications for ... -
The importance of asymptomatic infection in sustainable crop protection
(2013-08)Scald or Rhynchosporium, caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium commune, is difficult to control with fungicides and severe epidemics may appear suddenly. Its epidemiology is not well understood as it is based on disease ... -
The importance of being adhesive
(2019-06-19)Phytonematodes cause annual crop losses of $100 billion per year. Pasteuria penetrans is a bacterium that has potential to be developed into a biological control agent as an alternative to nematicides. This poster is an ... -
Importance of endogenous fibrinolysis in platelet thrombus formation
(2017-09-01)The processes of thrombosis and coagulation are finely regulated by endogenous fibrinolysis maintaining healthy equilibrium. When the balance is altered in favour of platelet activation and/or coagulation, or if endogenous ... -
The Importance of Ethnic Identity and Well-being in the Lives of Third- Generation British Bangladeshi People
(2020-01-27)Rationale and Aims: Ethnic Identity (EI) refers to the extent to which an individual identifies with their cultural group (Phinney, 2000) and has been widely documented as being beneficial for well-being (Smith and Silva, ... -
The importance of hyperparameters selection within small datasets
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2015-10-01)Gaussian Process is a Machine Learning technique that has been applied to the analysis of percutaneous absorption of chemicals through human skin. The normal, automatic method of setting the hyperparameters associated with ... -
The importance of illness perception in end-stage renal disease : Associations with psychosocial and clinical outcomes
(2012-02)Illness perceptions refer to organized beliefs surrounding the symptoms, consequences, time course, controllability, and causes of an illness. Illness perceptions have been shown to predict a range of psychosocial and ... -
The importance of learning and knowledge sharing to support implementation of total quality management in healthcare
(2021-10-02)Implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in healthcare has been affected by several shortcomings. Among these is the inadequacy of learning and knowledge sharing methods adopted to support TQM implementation. ... -
Importance of Leptosphaeria biglobosa as a cause of phoma stem canker on winter oilseed rape in the UK
(2014-11-25)Phoma stem canker is a major disease of oilseed rape in the UK, leading to annual yield losses worth more than £100M. The disease is caused by two closely related species, Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa. L. maculans ... -
The importance of minor-merger-driven star formation and black-hole growth in disk galaxies
(2014-06-01)We use the SDSS Stripe 82 to empirically quantify the stellar-mass and black-hole growth triggered by minor mergers in local spiral (disk) galaxies. Since major mergers destroy disks and create spheroids, morphologically ... -
The importance of parity-dependence of the nuclear level density in the prediction of astrophysical reaction rates
(World Scientific Publishing, 2003)A simple description for obtaining the parity distribution of nuclear levels in the pf + g(9/2) shell as a function of excitation energy was recently derived. We implement this in a global nuclear level density model. In ... -
The importance of perceiving social contexts when predicting crime and antisocial behaviour in CCTV images
(2011-09)Purpose: The aim of this study was to establish which visual cues are used within CCTV images to accurately predict a criminal act and to investigate observer descriptions of the meaning of such cues. This study also tested ... -
The importance of recovery and staffing on midwives’ emotional wellbeing: a UK national survey
(2024-03-03)Background: There is currently a gap in the evidence on how working practices, such as the ability to take rest breaks, finish on time or intershift recovery influence outcomes. Aim: The aim of this study was to explore ... -
Importance of registries in informing clinical practice for arthritis
(2013-11)The gold standard in research for evidence that underlies clinical practice is the randomized controlled trial. In recent years it has been accepted that observational studies, which include disease and drug registries and ... -
The importance of research and participation in formulating child health policy
(2012-12)Despite some evidence of the successful involvement of children in the development of health policy in the UK, the outcome of this process and its evaluation are limited. This article reflects on the development of child ... -
The Importance of Self-excitation in Spiking Neural Networks Evolved to Recognize Temporal Patterns
(Springer Nature, 2019-09-09)Biological and artificial spiking neural networks process information by changing their states in response to the temporal patterns of input and of the activity of the network itself. Here we analyse very small networks, ... -
