Smoke and Mirrors: U.K. Newspaper Representations of Intimate Partner Domestic Violence
(2017-01-01)News media are in a position to project certain perspectives on domestic violence while marginalizing others, which has implications for public understanding and policy development. This study applies discourse analysis ... -
Smoke in the Pipe Nebula: dust emission and grain growth in the starless core FeSt 1-457
(2015-08-13)(abridged) Methods: We derive maps of submillimeter dust optical depth and effective dust temperature from Herschel data that were calibrated against Planck. After calibration, we then fit a modified blackbody to the ... -
Smollett and the Novel of Irritability
(Voltaire Foundation, 2013)The problematic nature of Smollett’s narrative mode has been a central focus of critical debate about his novels. This article proposes that the discontinuity of Smollettian narrative can be usefully understood in the ... -
Smooth HI Low Column Density Outskirts In Nearby Galaxies
(2018-05-14)The low column density gas at the outskirts of galaxies as traced by the 21 cm hydrogen line emission (H i) represents the interface between galaxies and the intergalactic medium, i.e., where galaxies are believed to get ... -
Smooth seas - rough sailing : the case of the lame ship
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2000-01-01)The US Navy has embarked on an initiative to migrate applications from UNIX to Windows NT. This represents part of the adoption of Smart Ship technology which was meant to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of future ... -
Smoothing the transition from formal specification to object-oriented implementation
(University of Hertfordshire, 1995)The advances in object-oriented design and programming languages have left many formal specification languages behind in terms of the facilities offered to the specifier. The very languages that were developed to formalise ... -
SMT19969 as a treatment for Clostridium difficile infection : an assessment of antimicrobial activity using conventional susceptibility testing and an in vitro gut model
(2015-01-01)OBJECTIVES: We investigated the efficacy of the novel antimicrobial agent SMT19969 in treating simulated Clostridium difficile infection using an in vitro human gut model. METHODS: Concentrations of the predominant cultivable ... -
SMT19969 – a novel antibiotic for C. difficile : Clostridium difficile growth inhibition, spectrum of activity and resistance development
(2011-09)Background: C.difficile infection (CDI) is now established as a major healthcare issue. However, therapy options are limited and recurrent disease remains a significant problem. SMT19969 is the lead compound from a novel ... -
SN 2001em: NOT SO FAST
(2009)SN 2001em, originally classified as type Ib/c, is a peculiar supernova. It was observed in the radio about two years after its optical detection, showing a rising radio flux with an optically thin spectral slope; it also ... -
SN2014J gamma rays from the $^56$Ni decay chain
(2015-02-01)Context. The detection and measurement of gamma-ray lines from the decay chain of 56Ni provides unique information about the explosion in supernovae. SN2014J at 3.3 Mpc is a sufficiently-nearby supernova of type Ia so that ... -
Snacking patterns according to location among Northern Ireland children
(2010-05)Objective:To examine the influence of location on snack intake among Northern Ireland (NI) children aged 5-8 years. Methods: Dietary intake was assessed by 7-day weighed dietary records. Parents/children self defined type ... -
Snacking patterns among adolescents: a comparison of type, frequency and portion size between Britain in 1997 and Northern Ireland in 2005
(2009)Despite the potential link between snack food intake and obesity and the reportedly high prevalence of snacking among adolescents, adolescent snack food patterns (types of foods consumed, frequency and portion size) have ... -
Snakes and their influence on visual processing
(University of Hertfordshire, 1998)Consideration is given to the use of snakes (active contour models) for tracking objects in a visual field. The basic theory of snakes is covered, and a greater depth of analysis is given to both the original [1] and the ... -
A Snapshot of photoresponsive liposomes in cancer chemotherapy and immunotherapy: opportunities and challenges
(2023-11-28)To provide precise medical regimens, photonics technologies have been involved in the field of nanomedicine. Phototriggered liposomes have been cast as promising nanosystems that achieve controlled release of payloads in ... -
A snapshot of the oldest AGN feedback phases
(2021-10-18)Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) inject large amounts of energy into their host galaxies and surrounding environment, shaping their properties and evolution. In particular, AGN jets inflate cosmic-ray lobes, which can rise ... -
Snoop behaviour in multihop wireless networks
(ACM Press, 2010)Snoop is one proposal for improving TCP throughput in wireless networks. We investigated the application of this protocol in wireless ad hoc networks and observed that a single hop in the ad hoc network experienced large ... -
