A Degree in Advertising : an unwanted child of the business. Why academia and advertising should not be bridged.
(2009)According to the directives bestowed on British Higher Education in the aftermath of the 1992 educational reform, employability, which became the responsibility of educational institutions, and employment, which stayed in ... -
The degree of potential damage in agonistic contests and its effects on social aggression, territoriality and display evolution
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)The potential for animals to inflict damage on one another whilst competing for indivisible resources is a factor of crucial importance when determining pay-offs to such animals and consequent likelihood of adopting an ... -
Degree performance as a function of discipline studied, parental occupation and gender
(1987)Degree performance in England and Wales was investigated as a function of social class and gender for several disciplines of study. Three performance criteria were considered: FIRST class; GOOD, and COMPETENT. The findings ... -
Degrees of Democracy Framework : A Review of its Use and Impact
(University of Hertfordshire, 2013-05)The degrees of democracy framework (DoDF) was designed as an analytical research instrument that could also be used to facilitate reflection and dialogue by anyone concerned with education (school leaders, teachers, students, ... -
Degrees of School Democracy : A holistic framework
(2012)This article outlines an analytical framework which enables analysis of degrees of democracy in a school or other organisational setting. It is founded in a holistic conception of democracy, which is a model of working ... -
Dehydroepiandrosterone sulphate and Mortality in Elderly Men and Women
(2001-09-01)Dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate levels have been inversely related with cardiovascular mortality in men, but findings have been inconsistent, and there are few data in women. We examined the relationship between baseline ... -
Deidentified transcripts of focus groups and interviews and thematic aggregation of excerpted text (Excel coding framework with quotations) supporting ‘Adaptations to the Welsh National Exercise Referral Scheme during the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study exploring the experiences of service users and providers and supplementary out-of-pocket costs analysis’ (PHIRST NERS project)
(2023-03-03)Protocol available via research regsitry: https://www.researchregistry.com (#7842). Research aim: The aim of this study was to explore the barriers and facilitators to uptake and engagement of the Welsh National Exercise ... -
Delamination threshold load of composite laminate under low-velocity impact
(2013)A key factor affecting the use of carbon fibre reinforced composite laminates is the low velocity impact damage which may be introduced accidentally during manufacture, operation or maintenance of the component. Among the ... -
Delayed branches versus dynamic branch prediction in a high-performance superscalar architecture
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 1997)While delayed branch mechanisms were popular with the designers of RISC processors, most superscalar processors deploy dynamic branch prediction to minimise run-time branch penalties. We propose a generalised branch delay ... -
Delayed radical prostatectomy for localised prostate cancer – A systematic review and meta-analysis for the COVID-19 Pandemic
(2021-06-30)External factors, such as the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), can lead to cancellations and backlogs of cancer surgeries. The effects of these delays are unclear. This study summarised the evidence surrounding expectant ... -
Delayed switching applied to memristor neural networks
(2012)Magnetic flux and electric charge are linked in a memristor. We reported recently that a memristor has a peculiar effect in which the switching takes place with a time delay because a memristor possesses a certain inertia. ... -
Delayed switching in memristors and memristive systems
(2010)It was found that the switching in a memristor takes place with a time delay (this peculiar feature is named “the delayed switching”). This feature has been verified by a circuit-based experiment. The physical interpretation ... -
Delayed tall loss during the invasion of human skin by schistosome cercariae
(2003-02)Schistosomiasis is initiated when cercarial larvae invade human skin. Contrary to long-held assumptions, most cercariae of Schistosoma mansoni do not shed their propulsive tails as they penetrate. Scanning electron microscopy ... -
Delayed triggering of radio Active Galactic Nuclei in gas-rich minor mergers in the local Universe
(2017-02-01)We examine the processes triggering star formation and Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) activity in a sample of 25 low redshift ($z 10^7$ K) brightness temperature required for an mJIVE-20 detection allows us to unambiguously ... -
Delegation and not-so smart cards
(1999)We consider three aspects of delegation: What kinds of binding are required between real world artifacts and bit patterns? What are the atomic elements of a security policy and in what ways must they fit together? What are ... -
Deletion of Prophages in Clostridioides difficile
(2022-04-14)Clostridioides difficile (C. difficile) formally known as Clostridium difficile, is a Gram-positive spore forming anaerobe responsible for almost all cases of pseudomembranous colitis and is implicated in 25-33% of antibiotic ... -
Deletions of Chromosome 7q Affect Nuclear Organization and HLXB9Gene Expression in Hematological Disorders.
(2019-04-25)The radial spatial positioning of individual gene loci within interphase nuclei has been associated with up- and downregulation of their expression. In cancer, the genome organization may become disturbed due to chromosomal ... -
Deleuze, Judgment and Artistic Research
(2016-07-19)The debate concerning the legitimacy of artistic research that has taken place over the last two decades is notable for the way in which it has drawn attention to rival 'representational' and 'performative' conceptions of ...
