(2016-12-20)This thesis analyses artefacts belonging to the playwright, socialist and critic Bernard Shaw, which form part of the collections at Shaw’s Corner, Hertfordshire, now managed as a National Trust property. My original ... -
Beryllium Abundances in Halo Stars from Keck/HIRES Observations
(1999)We have determined the abundance of Be in stars with an array of metal abundances in order to enhance our understanding of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy, cosmic-ray theory, and cosmology. Observations of the Be II ... -
Beryllium abundances in stars with planets : extending the sample
(2011)Context : Chemical abundances of light elements such as beryllium in planet-host stars allow us to study the planet formation scenarios and/or investigate possible surface pollution processes. Aims : We present here an ... -
Bessel–Gauss beam optical resonator
(2001-04-01)In a simple picture, a Bessel beam is views as a transverse standing wave formed in the interference region between incoming and outgoing conical waves. Bases on this interpretation we porpose an optical resonator that ... -
The Best Approach to Adverse Possession, and the Decline of Factual Possession
(2016-11-07)An article exploring the decline of factual possession since the R. (on the application of Best) v The Chief Land Registrar. -
The best of both worlds : Combining LOFAR and Apertif to derive resolved radio spectral index images
(2021-04-07)Supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies can cycle through periods of activity and quiescence. Characterising the duty cycle of active galactic nuclei is crucial for understanding the impact of the energy they ... -
The Best of Everything : Dilemmas of the Working Girl in 'Mad Men'

Best Practice and Challenges in Education for Sustainable Development and Global Education
(UK TE ESD/GC network, 2009)This paper describes some of the developments to embed Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) and Global Education (GE) in programs at the University of Hertfordshire including the BA Education Studies, BEd and PGCE ... -
'The Best Way to See Waterloo is with Your Eyes Shut’ : British 'Histourism', Authenticity and Commercialisation in the Mid-Nineteenth-Century
(2013-03-01)This article analyses how nineteenth-century British visitors of Waterloo anticipated, experienced and explained their visit of 'the field'. The article shows how British visitors attempted to claim ownership over Waterloo ... -
Beta adrenoreceptor subtype cross regulation in the human heart
(1993)OBJECTIVES--To find out in a prospective study whether beta 1 blocker treatment causes selective beta 2 adrenoreceptor sensitisation, and to find whether such sensitisation is confined to the heart. DESIGN--A placebo ... -
The beta component of gamma-band auditory steady-state responses in patients with schizophrenia
(2021-10-14)Abstract: The mechanisms underlying circuit dysfunctions in schizophrenia (SCZ) remain poorly understood. Auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs), especially in the gamma and beta band, have been suggested as a potential ... -

Beta-glucans in advanced CKD : role in endotoxaemia and inflammation
(2020-04-06)BACKGROUND/AIMS: (1-3)-β-D glucans (BG) are cellular components of yeasts and fungi. Elevated blood levels may be an adjunct in diagnosing invasive fungal infection, though can be high in dialysis patients without fungaemia. ... -
[beta]2-Adrenoceptor gene polymorphisms and blood pressure variations in East Anglian Caucasians
(2000)Objective: The amino-terminal polymorphisms, Arg16Gly and Gln27Glu, of the [beta]2-adrenergic receptor ([beta]2AR) have been shown to affect regulation of the receptor expression by an agonist in cell culture studies. The ... -
Bethe Equations for a g_2 Model
(2005-12-06)We prove, using the coordinate Bethe ansatz, the exact solvability of a model of three particles whose point-like interactions are determined by the root system of g_2. The statistics of the wavefunction are left unspecified. ... -
Better age estimation using ultraviolet-optical colours : Breaking the age-metallicity degeneracy
(2007-10-01)We demonstrate that the combination of GALEX ultraviolet (UV) photometry in the far-UV (FUV; ~1530 Å) and near-UV (NUV; ~2310 Å) passbands with optical photometry in the standard U, B, V, R, I filters can efficiently break ... -
Better be reactive at the beginning. Implications of the first seconds of an encounter for the tutoring style in human-robot-interaction
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)The paper investigates the effects of a robot's on-line feedback during a tutoring situation with a human tutor. Analysis is based on a study conducted with an iCub robot that autonomously generates its feedback (gaze, ... -
Better cervical screening for women with learning disabilities
(1999)Issues of consent, acceptability and assumptions concerning women with learning disabilities often block their access to screening programmes. This article reports on the efforts of the Horizon NHS Trust in Hertfordshire ... -
A better measure of relative prediction accuracy for model selection and model estimation
(2015-08-01)Surveys show that the mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is the most widely used measure of forecast accuracy in businesses and organizations. It is however, biased: When used to select among competing prediction methods ... -
