T Tauri candidates and accretion rates using IPHAS : method and application to IC 1396
(2011-07)The Isaac Newton Telescope (INT) Photometric H-Alpha Survey (IPHAS) is a 1800 deg(2) survey of the Northern Galactic Plane, reaching down to r' similar to 21. We demonstrate how the survey can be used to (1) reliably select ... -
T-cell subpopulations αβ and γδ in cord blood of very preterm infants : The influence of intrauterine infection
(2013-12-01)Preterm infants are very susceptible to infections. Immune response mechanisms in this group of patients and factors that influence cord blood mononuclear cell populations remain poorly understood and are considered ... -
T-RaMiSu : The Two-meter Radio Mini Survey I. The Bootes Field
(2013-01-01)We present wide area, deep, high-resolution 153 MHz GMRT observations of the NOAO Bootes field, adding to the extensive, multi-wavelength data of this region. The observations, data reduction, and catalogue construction ... -
The table in space : A planning perspective
(1990)Exploring the physical design of cities in relation to food with the emphasis on the use of public space and sustainable consumption practices -
Tables of nuclear cross sections and reaction rates : An addendum to the paper "Astrophysical reaction rates from statistical model calculations"
(2001-09)In a previous publication (ATOMIC DATA AND NUCLEAR DATA TABLES 75, 1 (2000)), we gave seven-parameter analytical fits to theoretical reaction rates derived from nuclear cross sections calculated in the statistical model ... -
Tackling childhood obesity
(2008)Childhood obesity is becoming a major problem and this article highlights the rising levels in the UK and considers how key government policy, aimed at tackling the problem, may impact upon school nurses. -
Tackling obesity : promoting physical activity and healthy eating in schools
(Routledge, 2010)Since the 1970s, rates of obesity amongst school-aged children have doubled or tripled in economically developed countries such as the UK, USA, Canada and Australia (Wang and Lobstein 2006). Obesity is defined as excess ... -
Tackling the PAN’09 External Plagiarism Detection Corpus with a Desktop Plaigiarism Detector
(2009)Ferret is a fast and effective tool for detecting similarities in a group of files. Applying it to the PAN’09 corpus required modifications to meet the requirements of the competition, mainly to deal with the very large number ... -
The tactile depiction of visual conventions : the advantage of explicit cues.
(2000-01)The introduction of representational standards for tactile diagrams might improve their use. Two elements central to the design of visual diagrams are the relative positioning and movement of the objects yet no standard ... -
Tactile interaction with a humanoid robot for children with autism: a case study analysis involving user requirements and results of an initial implementation
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)The work presented in this paper is part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The project aims to develop and demonstrate a range of new robot capabilities based on the tactile feedback provided by a robotic skin. ... -
Tactile Interactions with a Humanoid Robot : Novel Play Scenario Implementations with Children with Autism
(2014-08-01)The work presented in this paper was part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The project has developed new robot capabilities based on the tactile feedback provided by novel robotic skin, with the aim to provide ... -
Tactile modulation of emotional speech samples
(2012-10-17)Traditionally only speech communicates emotions via mobile phone. However, in daily communication the sense of touch mediates emotional information during conversation. The present aim was to study if tactile stimulation ... -
Tactile-based direct manipulation in GUIs for blind users
(ACM Press, 1995)The increasing use of graphical user interfaces is making computer systems more, rather than less difficult to interact with for blind users. One solution is to create interfaces for blind users which are based on auditory ... -
