Individual variation in the frication of voiceless plosives in Australian English: a study of twins’ speech.
(2010-04-20)This study is an acoustic–phonetic examination of variation in Australian English consonant production. Group and individual patterns in the rates of frication of the voiceless plosives /p t k/ in Australian English are ... -
An individual-based model of the evolution of pesticide resistance in heterogeneous environments : Control of meligethes aeneus population in oilseed rape crops
(2014-12-22)Preventing a pest population from damaging an agricultural crop and, at the same time, preventing the development of pesticide resistance is a major challenge in crop protection. Understanding how farming practices and ... -
Indo-Asian pollution during INDOEX : Microphysical particle properties and single-scattering albedo inferred from multiwavelength lidar observations
(2003-10-07)[1] We present for the first time a comprehensive data set of vertically resolved physical particle properties, and the single-scattering albedo at 532 nm, derived from multiwavelength lidar observations of pollution plumes ... -
Indoor Localisation of Scooters from Ubiquitous Cost-Effective Sensors: Combining Wi-Fi, Smartphone and Wheel Encoders
(2019-07-24)Indoor localisation of people and objects has been a focus of research studies for several decades because of its great advantage to several applications. Accuracy has always been a challenge because of the uncertainty of ... -
Induced plant defense responses against chewing insects : Ethylene signaling reduces resistance of Arabidopsis against Egyptian cotton worm but not diamondback moth
(2000)The induction of plant defenses by insect feeding is regulated via multiple signaling cascades. One of them, ethylene signaling, increases susceptibility of Arabidopsis to the generalist herbivore Egyptian cotton worm ... -
An induced population of Trypanosoma cruzi epimastigotes more resistant to complement lysis promotes a phenotype with greater differentiation, invasiveness, and release of extracellular vesicles
(2022-12-14)Introduction: Chagas disease is a neglected tropical disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, which uses blood-feeding triatomine bugs as a vector to finally infect mammalian hosts. Upon entering the host, the parasite needs ... -
Induction and decay of short-term heat acclimation
(2009)The purpose of this work was to investigate adaptation and decay from short-term (5-day) heat acclimation (STHA). Ten moderately trained males (mean ± SD age 28 ± 7 years; body mass 74.6 ± 4.4 kg; 4.26 ± 0.37 l min−1) ... -
Induction of cytochrome P4503A by the antiglucocorticoid mifepristone and a novel hypocholesterolaemic drug
(1997-06-01)Rat liver microsomal testosterone (250μM) hydroxylation and immunoreactive CYP3A protein were compared after administration of the antiglucocorticoid RU 486 (50 mg-kg-1 · day-1 for 4 days) and the hypocholesterolaemic drug ... -
Induction of labour: how do women get information and make decisions? Findings of a qualitative study
(2018-01-02)Background Induction of labour is one of the most frequent interventions in pregnancy. While it is not always unwelcome, it is associated with increased labour pain and further interventions. Evidence from earlier studies ... -
Induction of the cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 by statins is enhanced in vascular endothelium exposed to laminar shear stress and impaired by disturbed flow
(2009-07)In addition to cholesterol-lowering properties, statins exhibit lipid-independent immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory actions. However, high concentrations are typically required to induce these effects in vitro, raising ... -
Inductive Transfer and Deep Neural Network Learning-Based Cross-Model Method for Short-Term Load Forecasting in Smarts Grids
(2023-05-23)In a real-world scenario of load forecasting, it is crucial to determine the energy consumption in electrical networks. The energy consumption data exhibit high variability between historical data and newly arriving data ... -
L'industria dei call center : quando il lavoro diventa bad job
(2006-11-04)Il “cybertariato” è la nuova forza lavoro globale che sta crescendo nei Call center di tutto il mondo: una “classe operaia digitale” accomunata da identiche mansioni svolte al telefono di fronte ad un monitor. Una professione ... -
Industrial conflict in the engineering construction industry in Britain
(2012-07)The militant and unofficial grassroots-led engineering construction strikes of 2009 starkly indicated that the industrial relations of the engineering construction industry in Britain can be characterized and termed as ... -

The Industrial/Consumer Dichotomy in Marketing : Can Formal Taxonomic Thinking Help?
(2013)The question of whether or not there exists a dichotomy between industrial (business-to-business) and consumer marketing has never been satisfactorily answered. Prominent authors champion both sides of the debate. This ... -
Industrially based engineering group projects
(2013-05-02)New trends in higher education are pushing towards approaches in which new material must be gradually appreciated by students through an iterative updating process, so that life-long self-learning is stimulated after ...
