The role of land surface schemes in the regional climate model (RegCM) for seasonal scale simulations over Western Himalayas
(2015-04-10)Climate prediction over the Western Himalaya is a challenging task due to the highly variable altitude and orientation of orographic barriers. Surface characteristics also play a vital role in climate simulations and need ... -
The role of lateral inhibition in the sensory processing in a simulated spiking neural controller for a robot
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2009)Visual adaptation is the process that allows animals to be able to see over a wide range of light levels. This is achieved partially by lateral inhibition in the retina which compensates for low/high light levels. Neural ... -
The role of law in pandemic influenza preparedness in Europe
(2009-03)The European Union (EU) is composed of 27 states with widely varying histories, economies, cultures, legal systems, medical systems and approaches to the balance between public good and Private right. The individual nation ... -
The role of law in public health
(Ashgate Publishing, 2009)Is there anything which law can contribute to the improvement of public health? We already have a profession of public health practitioners from a wide range of disciplines, epidemiologists, statisticians, doctors, ... -
The role of law in the control of obesity in England : looking at the contribution of law to a healthy food culture
(2008)Obesity levels in England are significantly higher than in much of the rest of Europe. This article examines aspects of the physical and cultural context of food consumption in England, and the evolution of government ... -
Role of Liaison Nurses in improving communication
(2012-11)This article describes a survey of the views of clients, carers and hospital staff about the learning disability liaison nurse role in an acute hospital in the south of England. The survey found that the service benefits ... -
The role of low fat diets in the management of gall-bladder disease
(1992-10)This paper presents the results obtained from 87 questionnaires completed by dietitians about the dietary management of gall-biadder disease. Of the patients referred to the dietitians, 86% were referred by surgeons. Of ... -
The role of major mergers in the size growth of intermediate-mass spheroids
(2014-09-11)We study of the role of ‘major’ mergers (mass ratios >1: 4) in driving size growth in high-redshift (1 < z < 2) spheroidal galaxies (SGs) with stellar masses between 109.5 and 1010.7 M⊙. This is a largely unexplored mass ... -
The Role of Market-Driven Initiatives and Support for Rural Poverty Alleviation - a Case Study of AgResults Program in Nigeria
(2021-11-27)The connection between persistence rural poverty in the developing nations, agricultural-related structural problems have been debated extensively in the literature. Surmounting both challenges of the extensive rural poverty ... -
The role of mass loss in chemodynamical evolution of galaxies
(2022-11-30)Thanks to the long-term collaborations between nuclear and astrophysics, we have good understanding on the origin of elements in the universe, except for the elements around Ti and some neutron-capture elements. From the ... -
The role of mergers and interactions in driving the evolution of dwarf galaxies over cosmic time
(2020-11-07)Dwarf galaxies (M⋆ < 109 M☉) are key drivers of mass assembly in high-mass galaxies, but relatively little is understood about the assembly of dwarf galaxies themselves. Using the NEWHORIZON cosmological simulation (∼40 ... -
The role of mergers in driving morphological transformation over cosmic time
(2018-10-01)Understanding the processes that trigger morphological transformation is central to understanding how and why the Universe transitions from being disc-dominated at early epochs to having the morphological mix that is ... -
Role of MicroRNAs in LPA-Induced Regulation of Stem Cell Differentiation Into Cardiomyocytes
(2019-09-19)Lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) is known to exert a diverse range of effects in humans, specifically in the heart where it may cause apoptosis of cardiomyocytes at pathological concentrations. However, at physiological ... -
The role of minor mergers in the recent star formation history of early-type galaxies
(2009-04-01)We demonstrate that the large scatter in the ultraviolet (UV) colours of intermediate-mass early-type galaxies in the local Universe and the inferred low-level recent star formation (RSF) in these objects can be reproduced ... -
The role of motion and intensity in deaf children’s recognition of real human facial expressions of emotion
(2018-01-02)There is substantial evidence to suggest that deafness is associated with delays in emotion understanding, which has been attributed to delays in language acquisition and opportunities to converse. However, studies addressing ... -
The role of natriuretic peptides in volume assessment and mortality prediction in Haemodialysis patients
(2015-12-29)BACKGROUND: Maintaining optimal fluid balance is essential in haemodialysis (HD) patients but clinical evaluation remains problematic. Other technologies such as bioimpedance are emerging as valuable adjuncts. This study ... -
The role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy for patients with variant histology muscle invasive bladder cancer undergoing robotic cystectomy: Data from the International Robotic Cystectomy Consortium
(2024-04-30)Objective: To assess the role of neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) before robot-assisted radical cystectomy (RARC) for patients with variant histology (VH) muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC). Methods: Retrospective review ... -
Role of nitric oxide and prostacyclin as vasoactive hormones released by the endothelium
(2008-01)The endothelium lines the luminal surface of every blood vessel, allowing it contact with circulating blood elements, as well as the underlying vascular smooth muscle layer. In healthy vessels, the endothelium expresses ... -
The Role of Oath-Taking in Human Trafficking: Experiences of Survivors
(2021-10-22)Every year an unknown number of people are trafficked to the UK for the purpose of exploitation. The literature identifies numerous psychological methods traffickers use to exert power and control over individuals (e.g. ... -
