Evidence of a massive planet candidate orbiting the young active K5V star BD+20 1790
(2010)Context. BD+20 1790 is a young active, metal-rich, late-type K5Ve star. We have undertaken a study of stellar activity and kinematics for this star over the past few years. Previous results show a high level of stellar ... -
Evidence of different star formation histories for high- and low-luminosity radio galaxies
(2010)We present the results of our investigation into the stellar populations of 24 radio galaxies at z≃ 0.5 drawn from four complete, low-frequency-selected radio surveys. We use the strength of the 4000-Å break as an indicator ... -
Evidence of distant spiral arms in the Galactic disk quadrant IV from VVV red clump giants
(2022-09-09)The discovery of new clear windows in the Galactic plane using the VVV near-IR extinction maps allows the study of the structure of the Milky Way (MW) disk. The ultimate goal of this work is to map the spiral arms in the ... -
Evidence of European IFRS Adoption: The effect on goodwill and intangible assets.--
(University of Hertfordshire, 2006)We investigate how the adoption of IFRS 3, business combinations, affected reported goodwill and whether the change was relevant for stock market valuation of companies. We use data for all companies listed at the main ... -
Evidence of improved fluid management in patients receiving haemodialysis following a self-affirmation theory based intervention : a randomised controlled trial
(2016-01-02)Objective Haemodialysis patients are at risk of serious health complications, yet treatment non-adherence remains high. Warnings about health-risks associated with non-adherence may trigger defensive reactions. We studied ... -
Evidence that 13–14 di-hydro, 15-keto prostaglandin D2-induced airway eosinophilia in guinea-pigs is independent of interleukin-5
(2009)Objective and design: Prostaglandin D2 (PGD2) has been shown to cause eosinophil, basophil and Th2 cell chemotaxis in vitro and in vivo through an action on the prostaglandin CRTH2 receptor. In the present study, the ... -
Evidence that Diclofenac and Celecoxib are thyroid hormone receptor beta antagonists
(2016-02-01)Long term use of NSAIDs is linked to side effects such as gastric bleeding and myocardial infarction. AIMS: Use of in silico methods and pharmacology to investigate the potential for NSAIDs diclofenac, celecoxib and naproxen ... -
Evidence that links loss of cyclooxygenase-2 with increased asymmetric dimethylarginine : novel explanation of cardiovascular side effects associated with anti-inflammatory drugs
(2015-02-17)BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular side effects associated with cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor drugs dominate clinical concern. Cyclooxygenase-2 is expressed in the renal medulla where inhibition causes fluid retention and increased ... -
Evidence that Polymyxa species may infect Arabidopsis thaliana
(2011-05)Polymyxa spp. are obligate biotrophs belonging to the plasmodiophorid group, responsible for transmitting a large number of plant viruses to many crop species. Their obligate nature makes them difficult to study. Controlled ... -
Evidence That Self-Affirmation Improves Phosphate Control in Hemodialysis Patients : A Pilot Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial
(2014-10)Hemodialysis patients are at risk of serious health complications, yet treatment non-adherence remains high. -
Evidence that the AGN dominates the radio emission in z ~ 1 radio-quiet quasars
(2017-02-02)In order to understand the role of radio-quiet quasars (RQQs) in galaxy evolution, we must determine the relative levels of accretion and star-formation activity within these objects. Previous work at low radio flux-densities ... -
Evidence-Based and Theoretically-Driven Behaviour Change Interventions for Physical Activity to Enhance Health and Wellbeing
(2019-04-08)There are high rates of inactivity in UK adults, which can lead to a range of health problems. The main aims of this thesis were: first to review existing behaviour change intervention design, delivery, evaluation, and ... -
Evidence-based successful example of a structure-based approach for the prediction of designer fentanyl-like molecules
(2024-12)In 2019, we published three innovative quantitative structure-activity relationship models (QSAR) for predicting the affinity of mu-opioid receptor (µOR) ligands. The three different models were then combined to produce a ... -
Evidence-based thermal care of low birth weight neonates. Part 2: family-centred care principles
(2013-04-01)Parents should be involved in the care of, and decision making for, their newborn, and separations should be minimised. Their needs should be anticipated, respected and catered for in the neonatal unit. Open, clear, ...
