The Legal Underpinnings of Medical Discipline in Common Law Jurisdictions
(2019-05-29)Medical regulators have a responsibility to protect, promote, and maintain the health and safety of patients. Here, we compare and contrast the processes for addressing concerns about doctors in four countries with legal ... -
Legitimising the unacceptable and accepting the illegitimate : Symbolic violence in the engineering profession in the UK
(2016-06-22)The aim of this paper is to contribute to an understanding of the experiences of people from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities in the UK engineering profession by identifying the processes by which BME people are ... -
Legs that can walk: Embodiment-Based Modular Reinforcement Learning applied
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)Experiments to illustrate a novel methodology for reinforcement learning in embodied physical agents are described. A simulated legged robot is decomposed into structurebased modules following the authors' EMBER principles ... -
A Leibniz notation for automatic differentiation
(Springer Nature, 2012)Notwithstanding the superiority of the Leibniz notation for differential calculus, the dot-and-bar notation predominantly used by the Automatic Differentiation community is resolutely Newtonian. In this paper we extend the ... -

LeMMINGs – I. The eMERLIN legacy survey of nearby galaxies. 1.5-GHz parsec-scale radio structures and cores
(2018-05-21)We present the first data release of high-resolution (≤0.2 arcsec) 1.5-GHz radio images of 103 nearby galaxies from the Palomar sample, observed with the eMERLIN array, as part of the LeMMINGs survey. This sample includes ... -
LeMMINGs. II. The e-MERLIN legacy survey of nearby galaxies. The deepest radio view of the Palomar sample on parsec scale
(2020-11-17)We present the second data release of high-resolution ($\leq0.2$ arcsec) 1.5-GHz radio images of 177 nearby galaxies from the Palomar sample, observed with the e-MERLIN array, as part of the LeMMINGs (Legacy e-MERLIN ... -
LeMMINGs. III. The e-MERLIN Legacy Survey of the Palomar sample. Exploring the origin of nuclear radio emission in active and inactive galaxies through the [O III] -- radio connection
(2021-12-01)What determines the nuclear radio emission in local galaxies? To address this question, we combine optical [O iii] line emission, robust black hole (BH) mass estimates, and high-resolution e-MERLIN 1.5-GHz data, from the ... -
Length of polynomials over finite groups
(2015-12-01)We study the length of polynomials over finite simple non-Abelian groups needed to realize Boolean functions. We apply the results for bounding the length of 5-permutation branching programs recognizing a Boolean set. ... -
Length of stay as a performance indicator : robust statistical methodology
(2005)Length of stay (LOS) is an important performance indicator for costing and hospital management and a key measure of efficiency of NHS. However, LOS is difficult to analyse because its statistical distribution is non-normal ... -
Leptin-based hexamers facilitate memory and prevent amyloid-driven AMPA receptor internalisation and neuronal degeneration
(2022-11-29)Key pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD) include build-up of amyloid β (Aβ), which promotes synaptic abnormalities and ultimately leads to neuronal cell death. Metabolic dysfunction is known to influence the ... -
Leptosphaeria biglobosa inhibits the production of sirodesmin PL by L. maculans
(2022-11-29)BACKGROUND: Phoma stem canker is caused by two coexisting pathogens, Leptosphaeria maculans and L. biglobosa. They coexist because of their temporal and spatial separations, which are associated with the differences in ... -
Leptosphaeria maculans isolates with variations in AvrLm1 and AvrLm4 effector genes induce differences in defence responses but not in resistance phenotypes in cultivars carrying the Rlm7 gene
(2023-03-28)BACKGROUND The phoma stem canker pathogen Leptosphaeria maculans is one of the most widespread and devastating pathogens of oilseed rape (Brassica napus) in the world. Pathogen colonization is stopped by an interaction of ... -
Leptosphaeria spp. and Phoma stem canker on oilseed rape in China
(2013-08)In China, the incidence of phoma stem canker observed in pre-harvest surveys from 2005 to 2012 was greater on winter oilseed rape in provinces along the Yangtze River (in May) than on spring oilseed rape in north China (in ... -
Leptosphaeria spp., phoma stem canker and potential spread of L. maculans on oilseed rape crops in China : Phoma stem canker on oilseed rape in China
(2014-06)In China, the incidence of phoma stem canker observed in pre-harvest surveys from 2005 to 2012 was greater on winter oilseed rape in provinces in central China (in May) than on spring oilseed rape in north China (in August). ...
