Healthcare professionals' hand hygiene : predicting and improving practice
(University of Hertfordshire, 2005)This programme of research consists of eight studies which sought to determine how healthcare professionals' hand hygiene practice might be improved. The Theory of Planned Behaviour was used to isolate perceived cognitive ... -
Healthcare Systems and Covid-19: Lessons to be Learnt from Efficient Countries
(2021-05-02)Background: The novel coronavirus is rapidly spreading over the world and puts the health systems of countries under intense pressure. High hospitalization levels due to the pandemic outbreak have caused the intensive care ... -
Hearing Impairment in Children Living with HIV in Haiti
(2022-11-30)Objective To identify the prevalence of hearing impairment and associated risk factors in children living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in Haiti. Methods A validated smartphone-based platform with pure-tone ... -
Hearing, policing, and using gender diversity: the role of institutional gatekeepers in researching youth and gender
(2022-02-14)This article comprises a critical reflection on our experiences of recruiting participants and organising focus groups through institutional gatekeepers for research about young people and changing gendered landscapes. We ... -
Heart Rate Recovery Assessed by Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing in Patients with Cardiovascular Disease: Relationship with Prognosis
(2023-03-07)Background: The use of exercise testing has expanded in recent decades and there is a wealth of information examining the prognostic significance of exercise variables, such as peak oxygen consumption or ventilatory measures ... -
Hearts and Minds: the Propaganda War Over the British Nuclear Deterrent, 1957 – 1963
(2020-09-29)The main subject of this thesis is Britain’s independent nuclear deterrent between the years 1957 and 1963 and the propaganda surrounding it. The thesis examines both the promotion of the nuclear deterrent by the Conservative ... -
Heat enhanced follicular delivery of isotretinoin to the skin
(2019-08-01)Purpose: The aim of this work was to evaluate the use of short durations of externally applied heat with chemical penetration enhancers to improve delivery of isotretinoin to the skin and in particular via the follicular ... -
Heat production and oxygen consumption during metabolic recovery of white muscle fibres from the dogfish Scyliorhinus canicula
(2000-04)Oxygen consumption and heat production were measured during contraction and recovery of isolated, white muscle fibres from dogfish (Scyliorhinus canicula) at 19 degrees C. The contraction period consisted of 20 isometric ... -
Heat transfer analysis for phase change materials (PCMs)
(2009)The heat transfer enhancement for phase change materials (PCMs) has received much attention nowadays, since most of PCMs have low thermal conductivities which prolong the charging and discharging processes. Metal foams, ... -
Heat transfer correlations and pressure drop dynamics of palm fibre wetting media for evaporative cooling at different air flow rates
(2023-10-03)The thermal and flow resistance properties of wetting pads play a key role in how effective direct evaporative cooling (DEC) systems Perform. To make an informed decision, it's crucial to study the heat transfer properties ... -
Heat transfer enhancement for thermal energy storage using metal foams embedded within phase change materials (PCMs)
(2010-08)In this paper the experimental investigation on the solid/liquid phase change (melting and solidification) processes have been carried out. Paraffin wax RT58 is used as phase change material (PCM), in which metal foams are ... -
Heat-maps and visualization for heterogeneous biomedical data based on information distance geometry
(Springer Nature, 2012)Systems biology is very much concerned with gaining an overview of what is happening in complex systems, such as in biomedical data sets, for which we need good global visualization tools. This research uses a method based ... -
Heavy elements and age determinations
(2002-01)The age of the universe, measured from the Big Bang to the present, is at the focus of cosmology. Its determination relies, however, on the use of stellar objects or their products. Stellar explosions, like type Ia supernovae ... -
