Misuse of prescription and over-the-counter drugs to obtain illicit highs: how pharmacists can prevent abuse
(2020-11-18)There have been increasing reports of misuse of a range of prescription and over-the-counter (OTC) drugs for recreational purposes. The use of psychoactive pharmaceuticals and ‘pharming’ are new, widespread phenomena ... -
The misuse of the NASA metrics data program data sets for automated software defect prediction
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2011)Background: The NASA Metrics Data Program data sets have been heavily used in software defect prediction experiments. Aim: To demonstrate and explain why these data sets require significant pre-processing in order to be ... -
Mitigating Modal Noise in Multimode Circular Fibres by Optical Agitation using a Galvanometer
(2024-01-02)Modal noise appears due to the non-uniform and unstable distribution of light intensity among the finite number of modes in multimode fibres. It is an important limiting factor in measuring radial velocity precisely by ... -
The mitigating role of ecological health assets in adolescent cyberbullying victimization
(2019-04-01)Over the last decade, cyberbullying has emerged as a public health concern among young people. Cyberbullying refers to intentional harmful behaviors and communication carried out repeatedly using electronic media. Considerable ... -
Mitigation effects of silicon on maize plants grown at high zinc
(2009)The effects of exogenous silicon (Si) on key growth parameters and mineral nutrients were investigated in maize grown at high zinc (Zn). Four treatments with three replicates were investigated consisting of a control (basal ... -
Mitigation of Harmonics and Inter-Harmonics with LVRT and HVRT Enhancement in Grid-Connected Wind Energy Systems Using Genetic Algorithm-Optimized PWM and Fuzzy Adaptive PID Control
(2021-03-28)The growing installed wind capacity over the last decade has led many energy regulators to define specific grid codes for wind energy generation systems connecting to the electricity grid. These requirements impose strict ... -
Mitigation of surfactant erythrocyte toxicity by egg phosphatidylcholine
(2000-10)Polyoxyethylene alkyl ether surfactants have been shown to have excellent penetration enhancing abilities although they are associated with a high level of local toxicity. We have compared the toxicity of a range of ... -
Mitochondrial DNA, a Powerful Tool to Decipher Ancient Human Civilization from Domestication to Music, and to Uncover Historical Murder Cases
(2019-05-09)Mitochondria are unique organelles carrying their own genetic material, independent from that in the nucleus. This review will discuss the nature of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and its levels in the cell, which are the key ... -
Mitochondrial donation or the Reality of the Myth of 'Three parents, One Baby'
(2015-06)In February 2015, MP’s debated a motion in the House of Commons to approve the Human Fertilisation and Embryology (Mitochondrial Donation) Regulations 2015. Having passed that hurdle, the Regulations still require approval ... -
Mitochondrial heteroplasmy and the evolution of insecticide resistance : Non-Mendelian inheritance in action
(2008-04-22)Genes encoded by mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) exist in large numbers per cell but can be selected very rapidly as a result of unequal partitioning of mtDNA between germ cells during embryogenesis. However, empirical studies ... -
Mitochondrial Targeting and Imaging with Small Organic Conjugated Fluorophores: A Review
(2022-09-19)The last decade has seen an increasingly large number of studies reporting on the development of novel small organic conjugated systems for mitochondrial imaging exploiting optical signal transduction pathways. Mitochondria ... -
Mixed infection by Clostridium difficile in an in vitro model of the human gut
(2013)OBJECTIVES: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is still a major clinical challenge. Previous studies have demonstrated multiple distinct C. difficile strains in the faeces of patients with CDI; yet whether true mixed ... -

Mixed methods research : The best of both worlds?
(2014-10-31)Introduction There has been a bias towards quantitative research approaches within manual therapy, which may have resulted in a narrow understanding of manual therapy practice. The aim of this Masterclass is to make a ... -
A Mixed Methods Study of Adherence to Prophylactic Treatment Among Young People With Haemophilia
(2016-07-27)Introduction Haemophilia is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by a deficiency in one of the coagulation or blood clotting factors in the blood. When injured someone with haemophilia does not bleed more intensely than ... -
Mixed mode fatigue crack propagation behaviour of aluminium F357 alloy
(2018-08-01)Manufacturing defects are often not in the plane perpendicular to the loading direction and will propagate under mixed mode fatigue loading condition. This paper presents a numerical study of mixed mode crack growth behaviour ... -
Mixed ownership, managerial incentives and bank competition
(2011-10-01)We consider deposit competition between two banks, where prior to competition one bank is subjected to a nationalization decision and the other bank chooses managerial incentives. The government who maximizes a modified ... -
