A barium central star binary in the Type-I diamond ring planetary nebula Abell 70
(2012-01)Abell 70 (PN G038.1-25.4, hereafter A 70) is a planetary nebula (PN) known for its diamond ring appearance due a superposition with a background galaxy. The previously unstudied central star is found to be a binary consisting ... -
The barium isotopic fractions in five metal-poor stars
(2012)Context. Theory and observations of heavy element nucleosynthesis are in conflict with one-another. Theory states that in the most metal-poor stars, the rapid (r-) neutron-capture nucleosynthetic process would be dominant ... -
The barium isotopic mixture for the metal-poor subgiant star HD 140283
(2010)Context: Current theory regarding heavy element nucleosynthesis in metal-poor environments states that the r-process would be dominant. The star HD 140283 has been the subject of debate after it appeared in some studies ... -
Barium lines in high-quality spectra of two metal-poor giants in the Galactic halo
(2021-10-01)Context. Theoretical results showed the possibility that neutron capture elements were produced in the early Universe by two different sources: a frequent s-process source hosted by rotating massive stars, and a rare ... -
Barley elicits a similar early basal defence response during host and non-host interactions with Polymyxa root parasites
(2009-01)Plant viruses transmitted by the obligate root-infecting plasmodiophorid parasites Polymyxa graminis and Polymyxa betae cause devastating yield losses to cereal and sugar beet crops worldwide. Barley is a non-host for P. ... -
Barley root morphology affects the zoospore production rate by the obligate root parasite and soil-borne virus vector Polymyxa graminis.
(2009)Plasmodiophorid parasites in the genus Polymyxa infect roots by means of zoospores and transmit more than 15 soil-borne viruses in a wide range of arable crops. Barley mutants, selected for variations in root hair formation ... -
Barred galaxies : Stars and Bars
(2005)Bars are prominent features that occur in most disc galaxies and have important dynamical effects on their hosts. This paper describes some of the known properties of bars, illustrating the discussion with images that show ... -
Barriers and enablers of type 2 diabetes self-management in people with severe mental illness.
(2017-09-15)Background People with diabetes and severe mental illness (SMI) experience poorer outcomes than those with diabetes alone. To improve outcomes, it is necessary to understand the difficulties that people with SMI experience ... -
Barriers and Enablers to Shared Decision Making in Psychiatric Medication Management: A Qualitative Investigation of Clinician and Service Users' Views

Barriers and facilitators in the implementation of youth and young adult models of mental health care
(2024-05-20)Aim: It is increasingly recognised that traditional models of mental health (MH) care, with a service transition at age 18 years, may not reflect best practice. The literature supports a move towards youth and young adult ... -
Barriers to customer-orientation : A case applied and explained
(2002)This paper illustrates that a crucial dimension to any strategy to deliver customer-orientation is that of the organisation's cultural dynamics. If these are ignored, implementation may well fail. Within the marketing ... -
Barriers to effective diabetes management - a survey of people with severe mental illness
(2018-06-01)Background: People with severe mental illnesses (SMI) such as schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and have poorer health outcomes than those with diabetes alone. To ... -
