Long-term analysis of clear nights using satellite data considering astronomical sites in western China
(2020-06-01)A large ground-based optical/infrared telescope is being planned for a world-class astronomical site in China. The cloud-free night percentage is the primary meteorological consideration for evaluating candidate sites. The ... -
Long-term conditions. 2: supporting and enabling self-care
(2006)This article is the second of a series focusing on long-term conditions. It explores supported self-care identifying that this is the most appropriate approach to managing long-term conditions in 70-80% of patients with a ... -
Long-term conditions: making sense of the current policy agenda
(2005)This article is first of a series focusing on long-term conditions and aims to guide district nurses through the whole raft of policies that are currently emerging from the Department of Health for England and Wales. The ... -
Long-term depression and recognition of parallel fibre patterns in a multi-compartmental model of a cerebellar Purkinje cell
(2001-06)It has been suggested that long-term depression (LTD) of parallel fibre (PF) synapses enables a cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) to learn to recognise PF activity patterns. We investigate the recognition of PF patterns that ... -
The Long-Term Efficacy of “Social Buffering” in Artificial Social Agents: Contextual Affective Perception Matters
(2022-09-15)In dynamic (social) environments, an affective state of “stress” can be adaptive and promote agent wellbeing, but maladaptive if not appropriately regulated. The presence of (and interactions with) affect-based social ... -
A long-term experiment to study the role of mulches in the physiology and macro-nutrition of strawberry grown under water stress
(2001)Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) cv. 'Oso Grande' was grown in the field from July 1999 to May 2000 in order to investigate the effectiveness of different mulch types on fruit yield, quality (i.e. soluble dry matter, ... -
Long-term exposure to elemental constituents of particulate matter and cardiovascular mortality in 19 European cohorts : Results from the ESCAPE and TRANSPHORM projects
(2014-05)Background: Associations between long-term exposure to ambient particulate matter (PM) and cardiovascular (CVD) mortality have been widely recognized. However, health effects of long-term exposure to constituents of PM on ... -
A long-term Human-Robot Proxemic study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)A long-term Human-Robot Proxemic (HRP) study was performed using a newly developed Autonomous Proxemic System (APS) for a robot to measure and control the approach distances to the human participants. The main findings ... -
Long-term monitoring of the dynamics and particle acceleration of knots in the jet of Centaurus A
(2010)We present new and archival multi-frequency radio and X-ray data for Centaurus A obtained over almost 20 years at the Very Large Array and with Chandra, with which we measure the X-ray and radio spectral indices of jet ... -
Long-Term Outcomes in Online Hemodiafiltration and High-Flux Hemodialysis : A Comparative Analysis
(2009)Background and objectives: Theoretical advantages exist of online hemodiafiltration (HDF) over high-flux hemodialysis (HD), but outcome data are scarce. Our objective was to compare outcomes between these modalities. Design, ... -
Long-Term Progression of Structural Joint Damage in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
(2017-06-16)Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic auto-immune disease that causes in ammation in the joints. Left uncontrolled, this prolonged in ammation can lead to pain and structural damage, resulting in erosions to the bones ... -
Long-term pulse period evolution of the ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar NGC 7793 P13
(2021-07-16)Ultra-luminous X-ray pulsars (ULXPs) provide a unique opportunity to study super-Eddington accretion. We present the results of a monitoring campaign of ULXP NGC 7793 P13. Over our four-year monitoring campaign with Swift, ... -
Long-term relationships between environment and abundance in wheat of Phaeosphaeria nodorum and Mycosphaerella graminicola
(2008)Relationships between weather, agronomic factors and wheat disease abundance were examined to determine possible causes of variability on century time scales. In archived samples of wheat grain and leaves obtained from the ... -
Long-term Stellar Variability in the Galactic Centre Region
(2019-02)We report the detection of variable stars within a 11.5' x 11.5' region near the Galactic centre (GC) that includes the Arches and Quintuplet clusters, as revealed by the VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) survey. ... -
A long-term study of children with autism playing with a robotic pet : Taking inspirations from non-directive play therapy to encourage children's proactivity and initiative-taking
(2009)This paper presents a novel methodological approach of how to design, conduct and analyse robot-assisted play. This approach is inspired by non-directive play therapy. The experimenter participates in the experiments, but ... -
Long-term survival and residual hazard after in-hospital cardiac arrest
(2006-01)The purpose of this study was to determine long-term survival after in-hospital cardiac arrests and to explore if and when the excess mortality risk imposed by the index event reaches that of an age and sex matched general ... -
Long-term variation study of fine-mode particle size and regional characteristics using AERONET data
(2022-09-06)To identify the long-term trend of particle size variation, we analyzed aerosol optical depth (AOD, τ) separated as dust (τD) and coarse-(τPC) and fine-pollution particles (τPF) depending on emission sources and size. ... -
A Longitudinal Analysis of Memory in patients with Schizophrenia
(2005)Memory deficits are widely reported in patients with schizophrenia, but uncertainties remain about the extent and the longitudinal course of these deficits. Twenty-eight patients with a DSM-IV diagnosis of schizophrenia ...
