(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 ... -
CHREST implementation : Java-based implementation of the CHREST cognitive architecture
(2012)The Chrest Shell is a graphical application and library for running a variety of Chrest models and experiments. Currently, the shell supports a limited range of domain-types, but more functionality is available using the ... -
Chromospheric activities and kinematics for solar type dwarfs and subgiants : analysis of the activity distribution and the AVR
(2011)Aims : In this work we present chromospheric activity indices, kinematics, radial-velocities, and rotational velocities for more than 850 FGK-type dwarfs and subgiant stars in the southern hemisphere and test how best to ... -
Chronic ethanol administration alters activity in ventral tegmental area neurons after cessation of withdrawal hyperexcitability
(1998)The present study investigated the activity of neurons in the mesolimbic dopamine system after the end of the acute phase of the behavioural signs of ethanol withdrawal in mice. This was designed to provide a comparison ... -
Chronic illness and critical care-A qualitative exploration of family experience and need
(2023-06-28)Background: People with chronic illnesses such as cancer and cardiovascular disease are living longer and often require the support of critical care services. Current health care provision means patients may be discharged ... -
Chronic illness, reproductive health and moral work: women’s experiences of epilepsy
(2008)Background: The impact of chronic illness on families has long been noted in the literature but in such studies families appear as ready-formed entities. This exploratory qualitative study addresses the largely unacknowledged ... -
Chronic Stroke Survivors Improve Reaching Accuracy by Reducing Movement Variability at the Trained Movement Speed
(2017-06-01)BACKGROUND: Recovery from stroke is often said to have "plateaued" after 6 to 12 months. Yet training can still improve performance even in the chronic phase. Here we investigate the biomechanics of accuracy improvements ... -
The chronicle history of Henry the fift
(Rowman and Littlefield, 1994)This text is one piece of a highly-discussed and debated new series that highlighted fundamental questions about the authenticity of Shakespeare's texts as moderns readers have come to know them. Making an extreme departure ... -
Chronobiological variations of indomethacin pharmacokinetic parameters in sheep
(2001-08)A two-phase study to investigate the influence of administration time on pharmacokinetics of indomethacin in sheep was performed. In phase I, 12 animals were allocated to four groups, each corresponding to a different time: ... -

Chronos: A NIR spectroscopic galaxy survey to probe the most fundamental stages of galaxy evolution
(2021-07-18)We propose a dedicated, ultra-deep spectroscopic survey in the near infrared (NIR), that will target a mass-limited sample of galaxies during two of the most fundamental epochs of cosmic evolution: the formation of the ... -
