RNA Isolation & Characterization Protocols
(Humana Press, 1998) -
RNA isolation and quantitative PCR from HOPE- and formalin-fixed bovine lymph node tissues
(2008)The use of RNA extracted from HOPE fixed tissues in quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) is fairly novel. We compared qRT-PCR analysis of formalin and HOPE fixed, paraffin embedded lymph ... -
RNA polymerase activity during breakage of seed dormancy by low temperature treatment of fruits of Acer platanoides (Norway maple)
(1987-06-01)Endogenous RNA polymerase activity has been characterized in nuclei isolated from embryo axes of Acer platanoides. Optimal activity was recorded at 4·0 mol m MgCl and 50 mol m (NH) SO and total activity could be inhibited ... -
The RNID education guidelines project in the context of the changing roles of teachers of the deaf
(2003)The Royal National Institute for Deaf People recently published a series of 'Guidelines' on working with deaf children. This article looks at these publications within the context of change in deaf education and in the ... -
The Road to Vertigo : The Suppression and Eventual Rise of Mature Comics and Their Readers
(2019-07-01)The legacy of Vertigo recalls the very idea of comics finally being allowed to mature; letting people swear, drink, openly take drugs for recreation, and bringing in some serious ambiguity as to what it means to be a good ... -
Road traffic impact on urban atmospheric aerosol loading at Oporto, Portugal
(2010)At urban areas in south Europe atmospheric aerosol levels are frequently above legislation limits as a result of road traffic and favourable climatic conditions for photochemical formation and dust suspension. Strategies ... -
The road user behaviour of New Zealand adolescents
(2009)The present study aimed to describe the road user behaviour of New Zealand adolescents and to investigate the applicability of the Adolescent Road user Behaviour Questionnaire (ARBQ) to New Zealand adolescents. In total ... -
The Robot Club: Robots as Agents to Improve the Social Skills of Young People on the Autistic Spectrum
(2010-04-12)To better understand the difficulties and strengths associated with both high and low functioning individuals with an autistic spectrum disorder (ASD), the hyper-systemising theory has been proposed by Baron-Cohen and ... -
Robot companions for children with down syndrome : A case study
(2014-01-01)We describe an exploratory case study about the applicability of different robotic platforms in an educational context with a child with Down syndrome. The robotic platforms tested are the humanoid robot KASPAR and the ... -
Robot house human activity recognition dataset
(EPSRC UK-RAS Network, 2021-07-15)Human activity recognition is one of the most challenging tasks in computer vision. State-of-the art approaches such as deep learning techniques thereby often rely on large labelled datasets of human activities. However, ... -
The Robot in the Swarm : An Investigation into Agent Embodiment within Virtual Robotic Swarms
(2003)This paper explores the notion of degree of embodiment within the context of autonomous agent research, specifically within swarms of virtual robotic agents. Swarms of virtual robots with systematically varied degrees of ... -
A Robot Model of OC-Spectrum Disorders : Design Framework, Implementation and First Experiments
(2019-06-19)Computational psychiatry is increasingly establishing itself as valuable discipline for understanding human mental disorders. However, robot models and their potential for investigating embodied and contextual aspects of ... -
A Robot Model of Stress-Induced Compulsive Behavior
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2019-09-06)Stress is one of the potential mechanisms underlying compulsive behavior in obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders. In this paper, we present a robot model and experiments investigating the interactions between internally- ... -
Robot Models of Mental Disorders
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2018-02-01)Alongside technological tools to support wellbeing and treatment of mental disorders, models of these disorders can also be invaluable tools to understand, support and improve these conditions. Robots can provide ecologically ... -
Robot self-preservation and adaptation to user preferences in game play : a preliminary study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)It is expected that in a near future, personal robots will be endowed with enough autonomy to function and live in an individual's home. This is while commercial robots are designed with default configuration and factory ...
