'Naughty' or 'nice' tax avoidance : What is the difference?
(2011)This article deals mainly about the difference between unacceptable ('naughty') and acceptable ('nice') tax avoidance, both of which are 'legal'; though for unnaceptable tax avoidance, the HMRC or the courts may deny the ... -
Navigating relationships in practice learning: voices from practice educators
(2021)This paper explores the nature and quality of relationships between social work students and their practice educators and discusses how practice educators navigate their multifaceted and complex role in the context of ... -
Navigation and Geolocation Within Urban and Semi-Urban Environments Using Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Networks
(2016-11-25)IEEE 802.15.4 defines networks and hardware capable of low power, low data rate transmissions. The use of these networks for the “Internet of Things”, machine to machine communications, energy metering, control and automation ... -
Navigation in the presence of humans
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Robot navigation in the presence of humans raises new issues for motion planning and control since the humans safety and comfort must be taken explicitly into account. We claim that a human-aware motion planner must not ... -
Navigation, guidance and control of underwater vehicles within the widely scalable mobile underwater sonar technology project : An overview
(2015-05-01)The WiMUST (Widely scalable Mobile Underwater Sonar Technology) project aims at expanding and improving the functionalities of current cooperative marine robotic systems, effectively enabling distributed acoustic array ... -
Nazi policies on German women during the Second World War : lessons learned from World War 1?
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013)At the end of his book on the Second World War Antony Beevor tells the story of a German farmer’s wife who was arrested in Paris in June 1945. She had illegally boarded a train carrying French workers back from Germany so ... -
Near death experiences, cognitive function and psychological outcomes of surviving cardiac arrest
(2007-08)Cardiac arrest is associated with a number of cognitive processes as well as long term psychological outcomes. Recent studies have indicated that approximately 10-20% of cardiac arrest survivors report cognitive processes, ... -
Near Infrared Imaging Polarimetry of Proto-Planetary Nebula - OH231.8+4.2
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2002) -
Near Infrared Polarimetry of IRAS 19306+1407
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)Polarimetry can be used to observe the dusty outer shells of Post- AGB stars. We can discriminate between the unpolarized light from the central star and the re°ected polarized °ux. The polarisation vectors and polarized ... -
Near infrared spectroscopic search for the close orbiting planet HD 75289b
(2007)We present a search for the near infrared spectroscopic signature of the close orbiting extrasolar giant planet HD 75289b. We obtained »230 spectra in the wavelength range 2.18 ¹m- 2.19 ¹m using the Phoenix spectrograph ... -
Near-Capacity Sphere Decoder Based Detection Schemes for MIMO Wireless Communication Systems
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-07-08)The search for the closest lattice point arises in many communication problems, and is known to be NP-hard. The Maximum Likelihood (ML) Detector is the optimal detector which yields an optimal solution to this problem, but ... -
Near-death experiences : exploring the mind-body connection
(Routledge, 2008)Near death experiences fascinate everyone, from theologians to sociologists and neuroscientists. This groundbreaking book introduces the phenomenon of NDEs, their personal impact and the dominant scientific explanations. ... -
Near-death states reported in a sample of 50 misusers
(2010)Increase in recreational ketamine use may be a cause for concern. We aimed here at assessing, in a sample of ketamine misusers, concordance between the typical near-death experience (NDE) features and the on-drug psychoactive ... -
Near-Field Terahertz Communications: Model-Based and Model-Free Channel Estimation
(2023-04-11)Terahertz (THz) band is expected to be one of the key enabling technologies of the sixth generation (6G) wireless networks because of its abundant available bandwidth and very narrow beamwidth. Due to high frequency ... -
Near-infrared and millimetre polarimetry of CEN A
(1996)We present near-infrared polarization images of the nuclear region of CenA, and millimetre polarimetry of the nucleus. In the near-infrared the polarization vectors mainly lie along the dust lane, with the polarization ... -
Near-infrared circular polarimetry and correlation diagrams in the Orion Becklin-Neugebauer/Kleinman-low region: contribution of dichroic extinction
(2009)We present a deep circular polarization (CP) image of the Orion Becklin-Neugebauer (BN)/Kleinman-Low (KL)nebula in the K-s band and correlations of CP, linear polarization (LP) and H-K-s color representing extinction. The ... -
Near-infrared Circular Polarization Images of NGC 6334-V
(2013-03-01)We present results from deep imaging linear and circular polarimetry of the massive star-forming region NGC 6334-V. These observations show high degrees of circular polarization (CP), as much as 22% in the Ks band, in the ... -
Near-infrared circular polarization survey in star-forming regions : Correlations and trends
(2014-11-01)We have conducted a systematic near-infrared circular polarization (CP) survey in star-forming regions, covering high-mass, intermediate-mass, and low-mass young stellar objects. All the observations were made using the ...
