Chirp in a wavelength converter based on a symmetrical-MZI employing SOAs
(2002-08-15)A wavelength converter based on cross-phase modulation using semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) in a symmetrical MZI is modelled. Since the model of the SOAs considers both amplitude and wavelength-dependent parameters ... -
Chitosan coated alginate beads for the survival of microencapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum in pomegranate juice
(2012-10-15)This work studied the effect of multi-layer coating of alginate beads on the survival of encapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum in simulated gastric solution and during storage in pomegranate juice at 4°C. Uncoated, single ... -
Chloramidine/Bisindolylmaleimide-I-Mediated Inhibition of Exosome and Microvesicle Release and Enhanced Efficacy of Cancer Chemotherapy
(2017-05-09)Microvesicle (MV) release from tumour cells influences drug retention, contributing to cancer drug resistance. Strategically regulating MV release may increase drug retention within cancer cells and allow for lower doses ... -
Chlorpyrifos ethyl-oxon sensitive and insensitive acetylcholinesterase variants of greenhouse whitefly, Trialeurodes vaporariorum (Westw.) (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) from Turkey
(2012-11)Resistance to the organophosphate chlorpyrifos ethyl was investigated in greenhouse populations of Trialeurodes vaporariorum from Turkey using both bioassay and biochemical studies. These populations were collected from ... -
Chocolate, Coffee and Commodity
(2014)This comment considers the history of chocolate in parallel to that of coffee, in order to identify not only patterns of similarity and distinction, but also to highlight potential strategies for explanation and their ... -
Choice Under Risk: How Occupation Influences Preferences
(2019-08-30)In the last decade, a number of studies in the behavioral sciences, particularly in psychology and economics, have explored the complexity of individual risk behavior and its underlying factors. Most previous studies have ... -
Choice, habit and evolution
(2010)Several leading mainstream economists including Gary Becker have treated habit as serially correlated behaviour resulting from deliberate choices. This approach puts choice before habit but involves assumptions of extensive ... -
Choose the Format of Your Destructor : Design Choices for Comic Creators in Print and Digital Media
(McFarland, 2019-06-30)Today, the form of comics is consumed and distributed in multiple formats across both print and digital media. For a comic creator, this variety of formats and media necessitates several important design decisions when ... -
Choosing a University : A conjoint analysis of the impact of higher fees on students applying for university in 2012
(2012)In the light of the forthcoming policy shift to full-cost fees for English undergraduates, this study examines the impact of fee changes on how students weigh up their university choices. Conjoint analysis is used to examine ... -
Choosing a university : the results of a longitudinal study using conjoint analysis
(2013-07)In 2012 a simulation of prospective students’ university choices was carried out by the authors using conjoint analysis to evaluate the utility associated with various university attributes. This paper presents the results ... -
Choosing Geographic Scales for the Analysis of Labour Market and Related Statistics
(2021-08-16)Researchers often only have access to aggregated statistics about people and businesses rather than individual data. This means that research into the relationships between labour market outcomes for geographic areas and ... -
Choosing Motherhood : The complexities of pregnancy decision-making among young black women 'looked after' by the State
(2014-03-01)Objective: This paper addresses the experiences of a group of young black teenage mothers looked after by the State, most of whom were also either migrants or asylum seekers. The paper explores the experience of discovery ... -
Choosing not to dialyse : evaluation of planned non-dialytic management in a cohort of patients with end-stage renal failure
(2003-10-31)OBJECTIVES: To study factors influencing the recommendation for palliative (non-dialytic) treatment in patients approaching end-stage renal failure and to study the subsequent outcome in patients choosing not to dialyse. ... -
Choosing Not to Take Phosphate Binders : The Role of Dialysis Patients' Medication Beliefs
(2011)Objective: Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving haemodialysis are at risk of cardiovascular disease and bone disorders related to high levels of serum phosphate (PO(4)). Phosphate binders are an important ... -
Chord line force versus displacement for thin shallow arc pre-curved bimetallic strip
(2015-01-01)A pre-curved bimetallic strip that is applied with a force in an axial orientation, i.e. along its chord line, exhibits nonlinear force-displacement characteristics. For thin bimetallic strips, whereby the radius of curvature ... -
The CHREST architecture of cognition : the role of perception in general intelligence
(Atlantis Press, 2010)This paper argues that the CHREST architecture of cognition can shed important light on developing artificial general intelligence. The key theme is that "cognition is perception." The description of the main components ... -
