Aberrant driving behaviours amongst New Zealand truck drivers
(2002-01-01)Research using the driver behaviour questionnaire (DBQ) has found that aberrant driving behaviours can be categorised into: errors, lapses and violations (and aggressive violations, depending on the version of the DBQ ... -
Aberrant salience in cannabis-induced psychosis: a comparative study
(2024-01-08)Background: Natural Cannabis (NC) and Synthetic Cannabinoids (SCs) use can increase the risk and exacerbate the course of psychotic disorders. These could be influenced by the Aberrant Salience (AS) construct. It refers ... -
The Ability of the Small Ice Detector (SID-2) to Characterize Cloud Particle and Aerosol Morphologies Obtained during Flights of the FAAM BAe-146 Research Aircraft
(2010)The Small Ice Detector mark 2 (SID-2), which was built by the University of Hertfordshire, has been operated by the Met Office on the Facility for Atmospheric Airborne Research (FAAM) BAe-146 aircraft during a large number ... -
L'Abitare come potrebbe essere
(libria, 2016-06)The chapter introduces the monographic work of the architectural practice C+C04 Studio, analysing their residential projects. -
Abnormal synaptic plasticity and impaired spatial cognition in mice transgenic for exon 1 of the human Huntington's disease mutation
(2000-07-01)Huntington's disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive and fatal neurodegenerative brain disorder caused by an expanded CAG/polyglutamine repeat in the coding region of the gene. Presymptomatic Huntington's disease ... -
About Painting : Shadow Series
(2011-10)About Painting looks at painting from the inside and considers the forces shaping it and controversy surrounding the medium. The project considers the wider contexts in which painting is exhibited and made. For example how ... -
About the Impact Behaviour of Railway Fastening Systems
(Newswood Limited, 2015-07)On the basis of what established by the Product Technical Specifications - Specifiche Tecniche di Prodotto RFI (STP) - regarding the performance requirements that fastening systems between sleepers and rails should meet ... -
About the preliminary design of a self-aligning energy absorber system for railway vehicles
(2013-10-01)A new impact energy absorber for a railway car, which maintains its optimal performances even when an impact with a vertical offset occurs, is described. Starting from the description of the concept design, the present ... -
Abrasive water jet drilling of advanced sustainable bio-fibre-reinforced polymer/hybrid composites : a comprehensive analysis of machining-induced damage responses
(2018-12-01)This paper aims at investigating the effects of variable traverse speeds on machining-induced damage of fibre-reinforced composites, using the abrasive water jet (AWJ) drilling. Three different types of epoxy-based composites ... -
Absence of age effects on spontaneous past and future thinking in daily life
(2019-06)Previous research on voluntary mental time travel (i.e., deliberately thinking about the past or future) has resulted in negative age effects. In contrast, studies on spontaneous past thoughts (i.e., involuntary autobiographical ... -
The absence of an environmental dependence in the mass-metallicity relation at z = 2
(2015-04-02)We investigate the environmental dependence of the mass-metallicity relation at z = 2 with MOSFIRE/Keck as part of the ZFIRE survey. Here, we present the chemical abundance of a Virgo-like progenitor at z = 2.095 that has ... -
The Absence of Diffuse Gas around the Dwarf Spheroidal Galaxy Leo I
(1997)We have obtained spectra of three QSO/AGNs with the GHRS aboard the Hubble Space Telescope to search for absorption from low column density gas in the halo of the dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy Leo I. The probe sight lines ... -
An absolute calibration of DENIS (deep near infrared southern sky survey)
(2000)An absolute calibration of the DENIS photometric system is presented. It includes the determination of the overall transmission profiles in the 3 bands, namely i, J and Ks, combining contributions from atmosphere, telescope ... -
Absolute Electrical Impedance Tomography (aEIT) Guided Ventilation Therapy in Critical Care Patients : Simulations and Future Trends
(2010)Thoracic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a noninvasive, radiation-free monitoring technique whose aim is to reconstruct a cross-sectional image of the internal spatial distribution of conductivity from electrical ... -
The absolute limits of directors’ fiduciary liability for conflicts of interest : The director’s perspective
(2015-07-15)The absolute limits of fiduciary loyalty are misunderstood in the context of directors as analyses focus on the interests of the principal alone. This article will demonstrate that such an approach is inconsistent with ... -
ABSOLUTE PROPER MOTIONS OUTSIDE the PLANE (APOP) - A STEP TOWARD the GSC2.4
(2015-10-06)We present a new catalog of absolute proper motions and updated positions derived from the same Space Telescope Science Institute digitized Schmidt survey plates utilized for the construction of Guide Star Catalog II. As ... -
Absorbers and Globular Cluster Formation in Powerful High Redshift Radio Galaxies
(2002-04-01)A radiative hydrodynamic simulation for a typical, powerful high redshift radio galaxy is presented. The jet is injected at one third the speed of light into a 10 000 times denser, homogeneous medium. In the beginning of ... -
Absorption of the nerve agent VX (O-ethyl-S-[2(di-isopropylamino)ethyl] methyl phosphonothioate) through pig, human and guinea pig skin in vitro
(2006-12)The physico-chemical properties of VX make the skin the most likely route of absorption into the human body. The development of effective medical countermeasures against such percutaneous threat agents relies on the use ...
