Much of the “Economics of Property Rights” Devalues Property and Legal Rights
(2015-12-01)Legal theorists and other commentators have long established a distinction between property and possession. According to this usage adopted here, possession refers to control of a resource, but property involves legally ... -
MUCHFUSS - massive unseen companions to hot faint underluminous stars from SDSS
(2012-06)The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims at finding hot subdwarf stars with massive compact companions (white dwarfs with masses M > 1.0 M?, neutron stars or black ... -
The MUCHFUSS project - Searching for hot subdwarf binaries with massive unseen companions : survey, target selection and atmospheric parameters
(2011)The project Massive Unseen Companions to Hot Faint Underluminous Stars from SDSS (MUCHFUSS) aims at finding sdBs with compact companions like supermassive white dwarfs (M > 1.0M⊙), neutron stars or black holes. The existence ... -
Mucoadhesion and mucosa-mimetic materials - a mini-review
(2015-11-30)Mucoadhesion describes an attractive interaction between dosage form and mucosal membrane. The evaluation of mucoadhesive excipients often requires the use of ex vivo mucosal tissues taken from laboratory animals. These ... -
A mucosa-mimetic material for the mucoadhesion testing of thermogelling semi-solids
(2017-08-07)Mucosa-mimetic materials are synthetic substrates which aim to replace animal tissue in mucoadhesion experiments. One potential mucosa-mimetic material is a hydrogel comprised of N-acryloyl-d-glucosamine and 2-hydroxyeth ... -
Mucosa-mimetic materials to replace animal tissue in mucoadhesion research
(2016)Pharmaceutical scientists often wish to design dosage forms which adhere to mucosal membranes to provide a localised effect. These “mucoadhesive” formulations are typically evaluated using ex vivo animal tissue, a large ... -
Multi-Agent Context Learning Strategy for Interference-Aware Beam Allocation in mmWave Vehicular Communications
(2024-02-13)Millimeter wave (mmWave) has been recognized as one of key technologies for 5G and beyond networks due to its potential to enhance channel bandwidth and network capacity. The use of mmWave for various applications including ... -
Multi-attribute selection using discrete frontier profiling
(University of Hertfordshire, 1997) -
Multi-channel key agreement using encrypted public key exchange
(2010)We present a new protocol for cryptographic key agreement between devices which have had no previous association, and which does not rely upon mutual access to a pre-existing key infrastructure. This protocol is suitable ... -
Multi-Channel Patterning of Antibodies on a Sensor Surface for Simultaneous Detection of Pathogens and Toxins
(2010)This poster describes the development of a micro-engineered, PDMS/PMMA composite patterning device for the flow immobilisation of up to 16 separate antibody stripes on a single sensor chip surface. Results for a preliminary ... -
Multi-disciplinary Evaluation of Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) for better Health (MESARCH) : protocol for a 1-year cohort study examining health, well-being and cost outcomes in adult survivors of sexual assault attending SARCs in England
(2022-05-24)Introduction Sexual violence is commonplace and has serious adverse consequences for physical and mental health. Sexual Assault Referral Centres (SARCs) are viewed as a best practice response. Little is known about their ... -
Multi-disciplinary team-based simulation training in acute care settings: a systematic review of the impact on team performance
(2021-12-16)Background: Teamwork plays an essential role in providing quality health care and ensuring good outcomes and safe practices in any health care system. This has been demonstrated in several studies in emergency care where ... -
A multi-epoch near-infrared study of the HH 7-11 protostellar outflow
(2003)We present near-infrared observations of the protostellar outflow HH 7–11 in the molecular hydrogen 1–0 S(1) and [Fe ii] 1.644-μm emission lines. Images at four epochs spread over 11 yr constrain the proper motions of the ... -
A multi-faceted formative assessment approach: better recognising the learning needs of students
(2010)Students are increasingly subject to a series of learning pressures that prevent effective engagement in assessment. Thus, the aim of this study was to create a multi-faceted formative assessment approach that better enabled ... -
Multi-fluorescence high-resolution episcopic microscopy (MF-HREM) for three dimensional imaging of adult murine organs
(2021-05-26)Three-dimensional microscopy of large biological samples (greater than 0.5 cm^3) is transforming biological research. Many existing techniques require trade-offs between image resolution, sample size and method complexity. ... -
Multi-frequency Polarization Properties of Blazars
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)We have obtained total and polarized intensity images of 15 AGNs with the VLBA at 7 mm at 17 epochs, accompanied at many epochs by nearly simultaneous measurements of polarization at 1.35/0.85 mm and at optical wavelengths. ... -
A Multi-Level Machine Learning System for Attention-Based Object Recognition
(2011-09-06)This thesis develops a trainable object-recognition algorithm. This algorithm represents objects using their salient features. The algorithm applies an attention mechanism to speed up feature detection. A trainable ... -
A multi-level monitoring framework for stream-based coordination programs
(2012)Stream-based Coordination is a promising approach to execute programs on parallel hardware such as multi-core systems. It allows to reuse sequential code at component level and to extend such code with concurrency-handling ... -
Multi-level responses to behavioural issues in schools
(David Fulton Publishing Ltd., 2004)The challenges posed by the behaviour of some pupils can only be properly addressed if support is extended beyond the classroom. Linking theory and practice, this book outlines a range of assessment and intervention ...
