Point-of-care Platelet Function Tests: Relevance to Arterial Thrombosis and Opportunities for Improvement

Gorog, Diana; Becker, Richard (2020-06-11)

Studies using whole blood platelet aggregometry as a laboratory research tool, provided important insights into the mecha- nism and modulators of platelet aggregation. Subsequently, a number of point-of-care (POC) platelet ...

Point-of-care tetanus immunoassay : an audit of unscheduled tetanus prophylaxis

Scott, Patricia (2012)

Tetanus is a life threatening non-communicable infection caused by the anaerobic bacillus tetanus clostridium which enters the body through a wound. The World Health Organisation (2006) aim to eradicate tetanus incidence ...

Poland's New Capitalism

Hardy, Jane (Pluto, 2009)

Poland was central to the historic changes that took place across Eastern Europe at the end of the Cold War. It is the largest economy in the region, and was at the forefront of opposition to communism, with the rise of ...

Polarimetric line profiles for scattering off rotating disks

Vink, J.S.; Harries, T.J.; Drew, J.E. (2005)

Polarimetric mapping of a new infrared reflection nebula GGD 27 IRS

Yamashita, T.; Sato, S.; Nagata, T.; Suzuki, H.; Hough, J.; McLean, I.; Garden, R.; Gatley, I. (1987)

We report the discovery of an infrared reflection nebula GGD27 IRS, near the optical nebulosity GGD27. It shows a dumbbell-shaped structure with large degrees of polarization, up to 64%, in the K band. From the centrosymmetric ...

Polarimetric Models of Circumstellar Discs Including Aggregate Dust Grains

Mohan, Mahesh (2016-07-29)

The work conducted in this thesis examines the nature of circumstellar discs by investigating irradiance and polarization of scattered light. Two circumstellar discs are investigated. Firstly, H-band high contrast imaging ...

Polarimetric Observations of 15 Active Galactic Nuclei at High Frequencies: Jet Kinematics from Bimonthly Monitoring with the very Long Baseline Array

Marscher, A.P.; Jorstad, S.G.; Lister, M.; Stirling, A.M.; Cawthorne, T.V.; Gear, W.K.; Gomez, J-L.; Stevens, J. A.; Smith, P.S.; Forster, J.R.; Robson, E.I. (2005-10)

Polarimetric Observations of 15 AGNs at High Frequencies

Jorstad, S.G.; Marscher, A.P.; Stevens, J. A.; Robson, I.; Lister, M.; Stirling, A.M.; Cawthorne, T.V.; Smith, P.S.; Gomez, J-L.; Gabuzda, D.; Gear, W.K. (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 from 25/26 March 1998 to 14 April 2001. The VLBA observations are accompanied at many epochs by simultaneous mea- surements ...

Polarimetric observations of the quasar 3C-345

Mead, A.R.G.; Brand, P.W.J.L.; Hough, J.; Bailey, J. (1988)

Infrared and optical polarimetric observations of the quasar 3C 345 are presented, which show a decrease in the degree of polarization with frequency previously observed by Smith et al., and interpreted by them as the ...

Polarimetry : a powerful diagnostic tool in astronomy

Hough, J. (2006)

Knowledge of the polarization state of radiation provides far more astrophysical information than intensity alone. Polarimetry has played a key role in the development of modern astronomy, providing insight into physical ...

Polarimetry and modelling of narrow-line active galaxies

Young, S.; Hough, J.; Efstathiou, A.; Wills, B.; Bailey, J.; Axon, D.J. (1996)

We present optical spectropolarimetry along with optical and infrared broad-band filter polarimetry of selected warm [f(25 μm)/f(60 μm)>=0.3] IRAS galaxies and other known Seyfert 2 galaxies. Broad lines in polarized flux ...

Polarimetry and photometry of the new AM Herculis system RE J1844-741

Bailey, J.; Ferrario, L.; Wickramasinghe, D.T.; Buckley, D.A.H.; Hough, J. (1995)

The ROSAT Wide Field Camera extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) source RE J1844-741 was identified with a 16th-magnitude cataclysmic variable with a period of 90 min by O'Donoghue et al. In this paper, we present spectropolarimetry ...

Polarimetry and the torus

Hough, J.; Young, S.; Efstathiou, A. (1996)

While the torus plays an obvious role in blocking direct light, and thus increasing the observed polarization from scattering, its role in directly producing polarized flux is less clear. Contributions to the infrared ...

Polarimetry at UKIRT

Hough, J.H. (Springer Nature, 2013)

Polarimetry has played an important role at UKIRT, both through visitor instruments and as an option on most facility instruments. A large range of science has been carried out covering galactic and extragalactic astronomy. ...

Polarimetry for the Gemini telescopes

Hough, J.; Aitken, D.; Chrysostomou, A. (1998)

Polarimeters at optical and near-IR wavelengths are increasingly available as part of facility instruments at major observatories, and are used for a large number of astronomical programs, ranging form nearby star-forming ...
