The appearance of broad H alpha in BL Lacertae
(1996)We present optical spectropolarimetry confirming Vermeulen et al.'s recent discovery of a broad Hα emission line in BL Lacertae. This feature, which is present at about the same strength in spectra taken two days apart, ... -
Apple´s financial success : The precariousness of Power excercised in global value chains
(2013-12)The topic of this paper is the Apple Inc business model and how, in a financialized world, the success of this business model is represented by what we term financial ‘point values’. Our argument is that there is a tendency ... -
Applicability of angular orientations of gating designs to quality of sand casting components using two-cavity mould set-up.
(2021-10-28)This study aimed to examine the integrity of two-cavity sand casting products in relation to the angular orientation of gating design. Two angular orientations of 60 and 45 were investigated experimentally and numerically ... -
Applicability of cellulosic-based Polyalthia longigolia seed filler reinforced vinyl ester biocomposites on tribological performance
(2020-10-31)The focus of this work was to analyze the effect of weight percentage (wt.%) of Polyalthia longigolia seed filler (PLSF) on the wear responses (wear loss and coefficient of friction) of the vinyl ester (VE) matrix composites, ... -
The applicability of physical optics in the millimetre and sub-millimetre spectral region. : Part I: The ray tracing with diffraction on facets method
(2017-03-01)Future satellite missions, from 2022 onwards, will obtain near-global measurements of cirrus at microwave and sub-millimetre frequencies. To realise the potential of these observations, fast and accurate light-scattering ... -
The applicability of physical optics in the millimetre and sub-millimetre spectral region. Part II: Application to a three-component model of ice cloud and its evaluation against the bulk single-scattering properties of various other aggregate models
(2018-02-28)The bulk single-scattering properties of various randomly oriented aggregate ice crystal models are com- pared and contrasted at a number of frequencies between 89 and 874 GHz. The model ice particles consist of the ... -
Applicability of the Hauser-Feshbach approach for the determination of astrophysical reaction rates
(1997-08-04)Nuclear Astrophysics requires the knowledge of reaction rates over a wide range of nuclei and temperatures. In recent calculations the nuclear level density – as an important ingredient to the statistical model (Hauser-Feshbach) ... -
The application and limitations of mathematical modelling in the prediction of permeability across mammalian skin and polydimethylsiloxane membranes
(2011-11)Objectives: Predicting the rate of percutaneous absorption of a drug is an important issue with the increasing use of the skin as a means of moderating and controlling drug delivery. One key feature of this problem domain ... -
Application of a Novel Synergetic Control for Optimal Power Extraction of a Small-Scale Wind Generation System with Variable Loads and Wind Speeds
(2023-01-30)The synergetic control technique (SCT) has the solution for understanding the symmetry inherent in the non-linear properties of wind turbines (WTs); therefore, they achieve excellent performance and enhance the operation ... -
Application of a theoretical framework for behaviour change: Examining hospital workers real-time explanations for their non-compliance with hand hygiene guidelines
(2014-02-01)BACKGROUND: Insufficient use of behavioral theory to understand health care workers' (HCWs) hand hygiene compliance may result in suboptimal design of hand hygiene interventions and limit effectiveness. Previous studies ... -
The application of antimicrobial stewardship knowledge to nursing practice : A national survey of United Kingdom pre-registration nursing students
(2024-04-25)AIM: To assess student nurses understanding and skills in the application of antimicrobial stewardship knowledge to practice. DESIGN: Quantitative. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey. RESULTS: Five hundred and twenty three ... -
The application of arterio‐venous ratio (AVR) cut‐off values in clinic to stratify cardiovascular risk in patients
(2022-03-07)Introduction: Cardiovascular risk calculators are a useful tool for identifying at‐risk individuals. There are standardised methods for assessing the retinal microcirculation which alters as a consequence of cardiovascular ... -
Application of automatic differentiation to race car performance optimisation
(Springer Nature, 2002)A formal method for the evaluation of the minimum time vehicle manoeuvre is described. The problem is treated as one of optimal control and is solved using a direct transcription method. The resulting nonlinear programming ... -
Application of Bayesian model inadequacy criterion for multiple data sets to radial velocity models of exoplanet systems
(2011-08)We present a simple mathematical criterion for determining whether a given statistical model does not describe several independent sets of measurements, or data modes, adequately. We derive this criterion for two data sets ... -
Application of Behavior Change Techniques in a Personalized Nutrition Electronic Health Intervention Study : Protocol for the Web-Based Food4Me Randomized Controlled Trial
(2018-04-09)BACKGROUND: To determine the efficacy of behavior change techniques applied in dietary and physical activity intervention studies, it is first necessary to record and describe techniques that have been used during such ... -
Application of chemical transport model CMAQ to policy decisions regarding PM2.5 in the UK
(2014-01-01)This paper shows how the advanced chemical transport model CMAQ can be used to estimate future levels of PM2.5 in the UK, the key air pollutant in terms of human health effects, but one which is largely made up from the ... -
