Skin problems : assessing needs and delivering services
(2009)The high prevalence and morbidity of conditions affecting skin breakdown is strongly related to age and creates a large burden of disease. More research is needed into the complex mechanism of skin breakdown, but impaired ... -
The skin reservoir of sulphur mustard
(2008-09)Studies of the percutaneous reservoir of sulphur mustard (HD) formed during absorption carried out during WWI and WWII are inconclusive. More recent studies have indicated that a significant amount of HD remains in human ... -
Skin thermophysiological effects of 448 kHz capacitive resistive monopolar radiofrequency in healthy adults : A randomised crossover study and comparison with Pulsed Shortwave Therapy
(2018-01-08)Radiofrequency-based electrophysical agents (EPA) have been used in therapy practice over several decades (e.g., shortwave therapies). Currently, there is insufficient evidence supporting such devices operating below ... -
SKYWAY '09: Awareness of the Sky/ The Sky as Awareness - International Light Festival, Impressions and Reflections on the Proceedings
(2009)Two artists, two astrophysicists, a historian of science, a musician, the Skyway Festival director and the Toruń 2016 director met over two days on the 15th and 16th of August in this beautiful gothic city to discuss the ... -
Sleeping Water : [for clarinet, viola and piano]
(2012)Textural density is described as a theoretical technique (Schillinger System of Musical Composition. New York: C. Fischer, 1946).but never fully demonstrated. In Sleeping Water I have set out to show that it can be applied ... -
Slope–channel coupling between pipes, gullies and tributary channels in the Mocatán catchment badlands, Southeast Spain
(2008)The dispersive nature of the highly sodic silts of the Triassic-rich unit of the Góchar formation plays a fundamental role in the erosion of the Mocatán catchment badlands in Almería, where a rejuvenating pipe and incised ... -
Slot rattling from law enforcement to lawbreaking : a personal construct theory exploration of police stress
(1993)Law enforcement is a highly stressful occupation, although the primary stressors involved are different from what might be expected. These stressors, and police officers' responses to them, were examined from the perspective ... -
A slow burn approach when implementing technology to support student learning in a pre-registration nursing programme. Edulearn 13. ISBN 978-84-616-3823-9
(2013)The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the challenges of implementing an institutional wide project –the use of Electronic Voting Systems (EVS), at grass roots level in the School of Health & Social Work and how that has ... -
Slowly but surely? Assessing EU actorness in energy sanctions against Russia
(2024-07-02)The ongoing Russian war against Ukraine has brought the energy policy of the European Union (EU) back to the headlines. The reaction of the EU and its member states to the unfolding energy crisis, has cast doubts on their ... -
SLuRp: a tool to help large complex systematic literature reviews deliver valid and rigorous results
(ACM Press, 2012)Background: Systematic literature reviews are increasingly used in software engineering. Most systematic literature reviews require several hundred papers to be examined and assessed. This is not a trivial task and can be ... -
Sm-144-alpha optical potential at astrophysically relevant energies derived from Sm-144(alpha,alpha) Sm-144 elastic scattering
(1997-03)For the determination of the Sm-144-alpha optical potential we measured the angular distribution bf Sm-144(alpha, alpha)Sm-144 scattering at the energy E(lab)=20 MeV with high accuracy. Using the known systematics pf ... -
Sm-147(n,alpha) cross section measurements from 3 eV to 500 keV : Implications for explosive nucleosynthesis reaction rates
(2000-10)We have measured the Sm-147(n, alpha) cross section from 3 eV to 500 keV. These data were used to test nuclear statistical models which must be relied on to calculate the rates for as yet unmeasurable reactions occurring ... -

A small actively-controlled high-resolution spectrograph based on off-the-shelf components
(2021-02-01)We present the design and testing of a prototype in-plane echelle spectrograph based on an actively controlled fiber-fed double-pass design. This system aims to be small and efficient with the minimum number of optical ... -
A small and vigorous black hole in the early Universe
(2024-03-07)Several theories have been proposed to describe the formation of black hole seeds in the early Universe and to explain the emergence of very massive black holes observed in the first thousand million years after the Big ... -
Small business development and tourism: Terra incognita?
(1999-08-01)This paper argues that the relationship between tourism and small business remains terra incognita because much of the existing research is published in diverse sources and fails to explicitly contribute to methodological ... -
Small business growth through franchising : A qualitative investigation
(2008-04-01)Although franchising has long been recognised as an attractive means of growing a business, the impact of franchising for small businesses is an area that is relatively less researched and understood. Whilst resource ... -
Small Change: Economics and the British coin-tree
(2015-06-23)Throughout the c.2000 year period coins have been circulated in Britain, they have also been ritually employed, most notably as votive deposits. Focusing specifically on the understudied custom of the British coin-tree, ... -
