The object modeling technique
(University of Hertfordshire, 1993)This report examines one object oriented development method, the Object Modeling Technique (OMT) of Rumbaugh et al. There are three main sections which summarise the technique, outline the key precursors and review the ... -
An object oriented design of a speech driven user interface management system
(University of Hertfordshire, 1991)This paper describes an object oriented design of a User Interface Management System (UIMS) for an intelligent speech driven interface to computer applications, which is based on a generic task model approach. An object-oriented ... -
An object that defies stereotypes : X-ray observations of SBS 1150+599A - the binary nucleus of PN G135.9+55.9
(2007)We present X-ray observations of the close binary nucleus of the planetary nebula (PN) PN G135.9+55.9 obtained with the XMM satellite. The nebula is the most oxygen-poor PN known to date and is located in the Galactic halo. ... -
Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) compared With traditional assessment methods
(2011)Objectives: To compare objective structured clinical examinations (OSCEs) and traditional assessment methods among recent pharmacy graduates. Methods: Individual student performance in OSCEs was compared with performance ... -
Objectively Measured Physical Activity in European Adults : Cross-Sectional Findings from the Food4Me Study
(2016-03-21)BACKGROUND: Comparisons of objectively measured physical activity (PA) between residents of European countries measured concurrently with the same protocol are lacking. We aimed to compare PA between the seven European ... -
The Objectives and factors affecting Performance of last mile Relief Distribution in Post-Disaster operations: The case of India
(2021-01-19)The world has witnessed an increasing number of natural disasters in recent years affecting large populations. The logistical operations to deliver relief to these populations are complex requiring careful planning and ... -
Objects of Affection? Materialising Courtship, Love and Sex in Ireland, c. 1800-1830.
(2022-04-18)This article uses a collection of mementos curated by Robert James Tennent, a middle-class man, to interrogate how objects materialised love and sex in Ireland. It problematises readings of courtship tokens as simple objects ... -

Objects with motor valence affect the visual processing of human body parts: Evidence from behavioural and ERP studies
(2022-08-01)Recent findings indicate that the mental representation of an object contains crucial information about the motor interactions relevant for its intended functional use, suggesting a possible action-specific link with body ... -
Obliquity and precession as pacemakers of Pleistocene deglaciations
(2015-08-15)The Milankovitch theory states that the orbital eccentricity, precession, and obliquity of the Earth influence our climate by modulating the summer insolation at high latitudes in the northern hemisphere. Despite considerable ... -
The obscured BLR in the radio galaxy 3C 234
(1998)We present spectropolarimetric observations of the radio galaxy 3C 234 at optical and, for the first time, near-IR wavelengths. In agreement with previous observations we detect broad Hα in total and polarized flux, ... -
Observability of intermittent radio sources in galaxy groups and clusters
(2018-11-11)We have carried out numerical hydrodynamic simulations of radio jets from active galactic nuclei using the PLUTO simulation code, with the aim of investigating the effect of different environments and intermittency of ... -
Observation of Gouy-phase-induced transversal intensity changes in focused beams
(2005)We created superpositions of two different TEM modes in focused beams. Such modes show relative dephasing along the beam axis due to Gouy's phase. This leads to interference effects and significant modifications of a beam's ... -
Observation of H2O in a strongly lensed Herschel-ATLAS source at z=2.3
(2011)The Herschel survey, H-ATLAS, with its large areal coverage, has recently discovered a number of bright, strongly lensed high-z submillimeter galaxies. The strong magnification makes it possible to study molecular species ... -
Observation of intermetallic Ni3Ti whiskers during combustion synthesis reactions in the Ni-Ti-C system
(1995-10)Initial studies of self-propagating reactions in the Ni-Ti-C system have revealed the formation of NiTi intermetallic whiskers via the VLS mechanism, in addition to the expected product of TiC in a nickel matrix. The ... -
