Consideration of the novel psychoactive substances (‘legal highs’)
(Home Office, 2011-08)The Advisory Council on the Misuse of Drugs (ACMD) committed to providing the Government with advice on novel psychoactive substances (often colloquially termed „legal highs‟). This is a relatively recent phenomenon, ... -
Consilience for Universal Design : The Emergence of a Third Culture
(2006-11)Consilience offers a powerful mechanism for borrowing from other disciplines, thereby extending the scope of what can be known. This paper looks at the foundations of the activity of design as a means of providing IT systems ... -
Consiousness
(Continuum, 2011)There is no utterly clean, clear and neutral account of what exactly is covered by the concept of consciousness. The situation reflects, and is exacerbated by the fact that we speak of consciousness in many different ways ... -
Consistency between parameterisations of aerosol hygroscopicity and CCN activity during the RHaMBLe discovery cruise
(2010)Results from a measurement study performed in the Tropical Atlantic on board the RHaMBLe Discovery Cruise D319 are presented. Measurements of aerosol composition, hygroscopicity and CCN activity were used to test the ability ... -
Consistency of flashbulb memories of September 11 over long delays : implications for consolidation and wrong time slice hypotheses
(2009)The consistency of flashbulb memories over long delays provides a test of theories of memory for highly emotional events. This study used September 11, 2001 as the target event, with test–retest delays of 2 and 3 years. ... -
The consistency of formant measurements in high quality audio data: the effect of agreeing measurement procedures
(2011)This study examines the inter-analyst robustness of formant frequency (F) measurements before and after agreeing a common measurement procedure. Three laboratories used the latest available version of the same formant ... -
Conspiracy and Consensus : Television Drama and the Case of A Very British Coup

Constant Modulus Shaped Beam Synthesis via Convex Relaxation
(2017-07-27)Constant modulus shaped beam synthesis is widely employed in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems and MIMO wireless communication systems to improve the effective power gain by using only phase adjustment. ... -
A constant molecular gas depletion time in nearby disk galaxies
(2011)We combine new sensitive, wide-field CO data from the HERACLES survey with ultraviolet and infrared data from GALEX and Spitzer to compare the surface densities of H2, ΣH2, and the recent star formation rate, ΣSFR, over ... -
Constrained Clustering with Minkowski Weighted K-Means
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2012)In this paper we introduce the Constrained Minkowski Weighted K-Means. This algorithm calculates cluster specific feature weights that can be interpreted as feature rescaling factors thanks to the use of the Minkowski ... -
Constrained Intelligent K-Means : Improving Results with Limited Previous Knowledge
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)It is here presented a new method for clustering that uses very limited amount of labeled data, employees two pairwise rules, namely must link and cannot link and a single wise one, cannot cluster. It is demonstrated that ... -
Constraining AGN duty cycle in the cool-core cluster MS 0735.6+7421 with LOFAR data
(2021-06-25)MS 0735.6+7421 is a galaxy cluster which hosts a central radio galaxy with a very steep spectrum, produced by one of the most powerful known jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN). The radio plasma, ejected at nearly light ... -
Constraining cosmic scatter in the Galactic halo through a differential analysis of metal-poor stars
(2017-12)Context. The chemical abundances of metal-poor halo stars are important to understanding key aspects of Galactic formation and evolution. Aims. We aim to constrain Galactic chemical evolution with precise chemical abundances ... -

Constraining Nucleosynthesis in Two CEMP Progenitors Using Fluorine
(2020-11-01)We present new fluorine abundance estimations in two carbon enhanced metal-poor (CEMP) stars, HE 1429-0551 and HE 1305+0007. HE 1429-0551 is also enriched in slow neutron-capture process (s-process) elements, a CEMP-s, and ... -
Constraining stellar assembly and active galactic nucleus feedback at the peak epoch of star formation
(2012-09-01)We study stellar assembly and feedback from active galactic nuclei (AGN) around the epoch of peak star formation (1 ≲ z ≲ 2), by comparing hydrodynamic simulations to rest-frame UV-optical galaxy colours from the Wide Field ... -
Constraining the astrophysical origin of the p-nuclei through nuclear physics and meteoritic data
(2013-06-01)A small number of naturally occurring, proton-rich nuclides (the p-nuclei) cannot be made in the s- and r-processes. Their origin is not well understood. Massive stars can produce p-nuclei through photodisintegration of ... -
Constraining the difference in convective blueshift between the components of alpha Centauri with precise radial velocities
(2002-04)New radial velocities of Cen A & B obtained in the framework the Anglo-Australian Planet Search programme as well as in the CORALIE programme are added to those by Endl et al. (2001) to improve the precision of the orbital ... -
A Constraint Satisfaction Method for Configuring Non-Local Service Interfaces
(Springer Nature, 2016-05-24)Modularity and decontextualization are core principles of a service-oriented architecture. However, the principles are often lost when it comes to an implementation of services due to rigid service interfaces. This paper ...
