Morphology and evolution of supraglacial hummocks on debris-covered Himalayan glaciers
(2021-03-15)Thick supraglacial debris layers often have an undulating, hummocky topography that influences the lateral transport of debris and meltwater and provides basins for supraglacial ponds. The role of ablation and other processes ... -
The morphology of the Magellanic Clouds revealed by stars of different age: results from the DENIS survey
(2000)The spatial distribution of sources populating different regions of the colour–magnitude diagram (I −J,I) extracted from the DENIS catalogue towards the Mag- ellanic Clouds (DCMC – Cioni et al. 2000) reveal signifi- cantly ... -
Morphometric Characterization of Rat and Human Alveolar Macrophage Cell Models and their Response to Amiodarone using High Content Image Analysis
(2017-12-31)Purpose. Progress to the clinic may be delayed or prevented when vacuolated or “foamy” alveolar macrophages are observed during non-clinical inhalation toxicology assessment. The first step in developing methods to study ... -
A morphometric study of the human ear
(2010)Aims: We examined variations in the shape of the human ear according to age, sex and ethnic group with particular attention to ear prominence. Methods: 420 volunteers were recruited. Measurements included; head height and ... -
Mortality and Edge-to-Edge Reachability are Decidable on Surfaces
(ACM Press, 2022-05-04)The mortality problem for a given dynamical system S consists of determining whether every trajectory of S eventually halts. In this work, we show that this problem is decidable for the class of piecewise constant derivative ... -
The mortality and hospitalization rates associated with the long interdialytic gap in thrice-weekly hemodialysis patients
(2015-09-30)Excess mortality and hospitalization have been identified after the 2-day gap in thrice-weekly hemodialysis patients compared with 1-day intervals, although findings vary internationally. Here we aimed to identify factors ... -
Mortality and the Other
(2007)In this exploration of a broadly Heideggerian and a broadly Wittgensteinian view of the personal nature of mortality, I shall argue that (i) coming to grips with the personal nature of mortality requires a recognition of ... -

The Most Metal-poor Stars. I : Discovery, Data and Atmospheric Parameters
(2013-01)We report the discovery of 34 stars in the Hamburg/ESO Survey for metal-poor stars and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey that have [Fe/H] <~ -3.0. Their median and minimum abundances are [Fe/H] = -3.1 and -4.1, respectively, ... -
The Most Metal-poor Stars. II : Chemical Abundances of 190 Metal-poor Stars Including 10 New Stars with [Fe/H] <= -3.5
(2013-01)We present a homogeneous chemical abundance analysis of 16 elements in 190 metal-poor Galactic halo stars (38 program and 152 literature objects). The sample includes 171 stars with [Fe/H] <= -2.5, of which 86 are extremely ... -
The Most Metal-poor Stars. III : The Metallicity Distribution Function and Carbon-enhanced Metal-poor Fraction
(2013)We examine the metallicity distribution function (MDF) and fraction of carbon-enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars in a sample that includes 86 stars with [Fe/H] <= -3.0, based on high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopy, ... -
The Most Metal-Poor Stars. IV : The Two Populations with [Fe/H] <~ -3.0
(2013-01-01)We discuss the carbon-normal and carbon-rich populations of Galactic halo stars having [Fe/H] lsim -3.0, utilizing chemical abundances from high-resolution, high signal-to-noise model-atmosphere analyses. The C-rich ... -
The most variable VVV sources: eruptive protostars, dipping giants in the Nuclear Disc and others
(2024-02-01)We have performed a comprehensive search of a VISTA Variables in the Via Lactea (VVV) data base of 9.5 yr light curves for variable sources with ΔKs ≥ 4 mag, aiming to provide a large sample of high amplitude eruptive young ... -

The Mother and The Child Clinical Psychologist: a Discursive Analysis of Professional Conversations
(2012-02-01)Aim Motherhood is placed under a lens by society: mothers are expected to fit within narrowly defined characteristics which dictate who mothers should be and how they should act. Although there are numbers of articles ... -

Mother's experiences of the transition of young people with autism spectrum disorder to adult care
(2019-07-03)Purpose: Research has shown that the transition planning of young people with autism spectrum disorders from child to adult-directed services, to be both problematic and limited in function. Mothers of children with autism ... -
Mother-Infant Interaction During Book Sharing Across Socio-Economic Status Groups
(2017-01-16)Book sharing is a key literacy activity in the early years that predicts children’s subsequent literacy and language abilities, and a wealth of evidence illustrates socioeconomic status (SES) differences in early childhood ... -

Motherhood and the media under the Microscope : The backlash against feminism and the Mommy Wars
(2013-11)Despite the passing of sexual discrimination legislation, the difficulty of combining work and motherhood repeatedly hits the headlines. This paper looks at the American media phenomenon known as the ‘mommy wars’ and asks ...
