Are the kinematics of DLAs in agreement with their arising in the gas disks of galaxies?
(2008)We demonstrate in this paper that the velocity widths of the neutral gas in damped Lyα (DLA) systems are inconsistent with these systems originating in gas disks of galaxies, similar to those seen in the local universe. ... -
Are the trapping dynamics in Photosystem II sensitive to QA redox potential?
(2001)Removal of the manganese complex from photosystem II (PSII) causes a 145 meV shift in the redox potential of the plastoquinone QA [Biochim. Biophys. Acta 1229 (1995) 193; Photosynthetica 27 (1–2) (1992) 89; Biochim. Biophys. ... -
Are there any first-generation stars in globular clusters today?
(2014-09-22)Context. Several models compete to explain the abundance properties of stellar populations in globular clusters. One of the main constraints is the present-day ratio of first- and second-generation stars that are currently ... -
Are there any parallels between object-oriented system development and other branches of engineering?
(University of Hertfordshire, 1992)The task of a software developer is to produce systems which can adapt to changing requirements. Object-oriented methods attempt to manage the complexity of the system by using encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism ... -
Are there peas in a pod when considering mobile phone and mobile applications use: A quantitative study
(2020-07)Despite the acknowledgement of the significance of income, affordability and cultural factors in using mobilephones research, there are few studies on how these factors affect females’ use of mobile technology. Hence, ... -
Are they ‘worth their weight in gold’? Sport for older adults: benefits and barriers of their participation for sporting organisations
(2016-11-01)The ageing global population has led to an increased focus on health for older adults. However, older adults have not been a specific priority for some sporting organisations (SOs). Thus, there is an emerging opportunity ... -
Are undegraduate healthcare students learning about each other from multiprofessional scenario-based simulation training?
(2008)Introduction: During initial training, students have few opportunities to practise alongside students from other disciplines other than in a classroom setting (1). Simulation offers an ideal context to provide clinical ... -
Are undergraduate students studying smart? Insights into study strategies and habits across a programme of study
(2022-04-08)The approach that students take in their studies at university is critical not only for their academic success but is equally important in life-long learning for their career and professional development. Heutagogy is the ... -
Are we prepared for high standards of trauma care?
(2016-09-12)For some years emergency nurses have speculated about what a competent standard of emergency nursing should look like. This is particularly important when managing complex trauma cases. The Trauma Quality Improvement Network ... -
Are You Impressed? An Exploration of the Pressure to Perform and Impress from the Perspective of an Organisational Development Consultant
(2021-03-10)Consultants are under pressure to perform and project an image of themselves as competent and credible within the practice of organisational development. Wanting to create a good impression is inherent in most human ... -
The area I’m from is very rough’: drug users’ views on the role of social and economic factors in their experiences of drug-related harm

Area-wide traffic calming for preventing traffic related injuries
(2003)Background: It is estimated that by 2020 road traffic crashes will have moved from ninth to third in the world disease burden ranking, as measured in disability adjusted life years, and to second in developing countries. ... -
Areas of Design Practice as an Alternative Research Paradigm
(2009)The view of the world from different subjects is quite distinct, resulting in a different view of what it is to know, and what it is that is known about. Scientists are stereotypically Realists who seek objective facts ... -
The Arecibo Galaxy Environment Survey (AGES) : XI. The expanded Abell 1367 field: Data catalogue and Hi census over the surveyed volume
(2022-09-23)Context. Many galaxy properties are known to correlate with the environment in which the galaxies are embedded. Their cold, neutral gas content, which is usually assessed through 21 cm H I observations, is related to many ... -
Arene-fused 1,2-oxazole N-oxides and derivatives. The impact of the N-O dipole and substitution on their aromatic character and reactivity profile. Can it be a useful structure in synthesis? A theoretical insight
(2014-12-01)DFT calculations have shown that the N-O dipole of benzene- and naphthalene-fused 1,2-oxazole N-oxides causes a distortion of their σ and π frame, concentrated on the 1,2-oxazole ring, such that it increases its susceptibility ... -
