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. ... -
The Role of Organisational and Informational Factors Affecting Knowledge Utilisation in Agri-food SMEs
(2016-07-07)Given the critical role of information and marketing in SME management it is surprising that little attention has been paid to the salient factors that motivates or inhibits consumer information use by agri-food SMEs. A ... -
Role of p35/Cdk5 in preplate splitting in the developing cerebral cortex
(2006)The earliest generated cells of the mammalian cerebral cortex form the preplate layer (PPL). The subsequently born cortical plate (CP) cells split this layer into the superficial layer I (LI) and the deep subplate (SP). ... -
