Decoding actions and emotions in deaf children: Evidence from a biological motion task
(2012-07-31)This study aimed to explore the recognition of emotional and non-emotional biological movements in children with severe and profound deafness. Twenty-four deaf children, together with 24 control children matched on mental ... -
Decoding odor quality and intensity in the Drosophila brain
(2014-12-16)To internally reflect the sensory environment, animals create neural maps encoding the external stimulus space. From that primary neural code relevant information has to be extracted for accurate navigation. We analyzed ... -
Decoding of Purkinje cell pauses by deep cerebellar nucleus neurons
(BioMed Central (BMC), 2009)The recognition of parallel fibre (PF) input patterns by Purkinje cells has been suggested to underlie cerebellar learning [1,2]. A candidate mechanism for the recognition of PF patterns is the long-term depression (LTD) ... -
Decoding the rubric for dissertation writing: a pilot workshop
(2020)Discussion of exemplars of student work is a productive means of explaining tacit knowledge and guiding students into the requirements of academic writing. Through a pilot workshop on dissertation writing, this study ... -
Decoding the spectra of SDSS early-type galaxies : New indicators of age and recent star formation
(2007-12-01)We apply principal component analysis (PCA) to a sample of early-type galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) in order to infer differences in their star formation histories from their unresolved stellar populations. ... -
Decolonising Clinical Psychology Training in Singapore: Trainee and Recently Qualified Psychologist Views about Diversifying Therapeutic Models
(2022-11-30)Despite literature suggesting that Western psychology and models might not be as culturally appropriate in other cultures (e.g. Henrich et al., 2010; Llewelyn & Shimoyama, 2012), clinical psychology courses in Singapore ... -
Decolonising economics and politics curricula in UK universities
(2023-10-16)This article explores initiatives to decolonise the curriculum via two specific disciplines, namely Economics and Politics, both of which have tended to marginalise the study of race, empire, and colonialism and whose ... -
A decomposable freight wagon frame suitable for bimodal transport systems that uses a fast locking mechanism
(2014-05)This paper describes a novel connection system which allows fast, safe and reliable coupling and uncoupling of two sections of a freight wagon body as part of a bimodal transport system. The connection system allows the ... -
Decomposing the corpus of neuropsychological tests
(1993)This commentary has had two primary concerns: We have attempted to address the difficulties and possibilities of using cognitive tests to measure the underlying biological basis for mental disorders. In particular, we have ... -
Decomposition and changes in chemical composition of leaf litter of five dominant tree species in a West African tropical forest
(2014-05)The objective of the research was to study the rate of decomposition and changes in the chemical characteristics in the leaf litter of selected tree species using a litterbag experiment. The decomposition of leaf litter ... -
Decomposition of the efficiency of the Chinese state-owned commercial banks at the provincial level
(University of Hertfordshire, 2008)This study adopts a bank production function approach to the measurement of banking efficiency at the provincial level in the Chinese state-owned commercial banking sector from 1998 to 2003. Applying Data Envelopment ... -
Decomposition, Classification and Evaluation of Business Models : the Case of Chinese Retailing
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013)This study attempts to provide a systematic approach to the decomposition, classification and evaluation of business models. We propose an internally consistent hierarchical classification scheme for decomposing a generic ... -
Deconstructing car assembler productivity
(1994-06-01)Two generations later in history, social science and management the question is not whether to measure but how to measure and how to evaluate the results of measurement. This paper aims to make a contribution to this debate: ... -
Deconstructing probation: risk and developments in practice

Decontamination and Management of Contaminated Hair following a CBRN or HazMat Incident
(2019-09)This in vitro study evaluated the “triple protocol” of dry decontamination, the ladder pipe system (a method for gross decontamination), and technical decontamination for the decontamination of hair following chemical ... -
Decontamination of multiple casualties who are chemically contaminated : a challenge for acute hospitals
(2008-03-01)Patients who have been contaminated by chemical compounds present a number of difficulties to emergency departments, in particular, the risk of secondary contamination of healthcare staff and facilities. The Department of ... -
Deconvolution of high-resolution spectra as a signal-to-noise ratio enhancement method
(2004-03-11)We demonstrate the use of singular value decomposition as a method for deconvolving high-resolution spectra of rapidly rotating stars. A convolution matrix can be built from the observed template spectrum of a slowly ... -
The Decoupled Kinematics of High- z QSO Host Galaxies and Their Ly α Halos
(2022-04-15)We present a comparison of the interstellar medium traced by [C ii] (Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array), and ionized halo gas traced by Lyα (Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer), in and around QSO host galaxies ...
