Increasing safety-belt use in Spanish drivers a field test of personal prompts
(2003)A variation of the ABAB experimental design was used to assess the impact of a verbal prompt on safety-belt use for those traveling by urban roads and highways in Spain. The personal prompt resulted in an increase (29.6%) ... -
Increasing the census of L and T dwarfs in wide binary and multiple systems using Dark Energy Survey DR1 and Gaia DR2 data
(2020-10-09)We present the discovery of 255 binary and six multiple system candidates with wide (> 5") separation composed by L or T dwarfs companions to stars, plus nine double brown dwarf systems. The sample of brown dwarf candidates ... -
Increasing the usability of formal specification techniques through a combination of complementary formal languages and automated verification tools
(University of Hertfordshire, 1994)This paper addresses three main issues. Firstly, the combination of formal specification languages to model proposed systems. For this paper we introduce the dual specification of a case study system using the formal ... -
Incremental cholesterol reduction with ezetimibe/simvastatin, atorvastatin and rosuvastatin in UK General Practice (IN-PRACTICE) : randomised controlled trial of achievement of Joint British Societies (JBS-2) cholesterol targets
(2010-07)The aim of this study was to compare ezetimibe/simvastatin combination therapy with intensified statin monotherapy as alternative treatment strategies to achieve the Joint British Societies (JBS)-2 and National Institute ... -
The Incremental Cooperative Design of Preventive Healthcare Networks
(2017-06-27)In the Preventive Healthcare Network Design Problem (PHNDP), one seeks to locate facilities in a way that the uptake of services is maximised given certain constraints such as congestion considerations. We introduce the ... -
Incremental haemodialysis
(2015-06-01)Thrice-weekly haemodialysis schedules have become the standard default haemodialysis prescription worldwide. Whereas the measurement of residual renal function is accepted practice for peritoneal dialysis patients and the ... -
Incretin-modulated beta cell energetics in intact islets of Langerhans
(2014-06-01)Incretins such as glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) are released from the gut and potentiate insulin release in a glucose-dependent manner. Although this action is generally believed to hinge on cAMP and protein kinase A ... -
Incubation and Creativity : Do Something Different
(2013)The experiment reported here investigated interactions between the type of creative task (verbal or spatial) and the type of incubation activity (verbal or spatial) on creative performance. The experiment used a verbal ... -
Incubation and suppression processes in creative problem solving
(2015-01-02)The present study investigated the role of thought suppression in incubation, using a delayed incubation paradigm. A total of 301 participants were tested over five conditions, viz., continuous work control, incubation ... -
Incubation in creative thinking

Independent associations of body-size adjusted fat mass and fat-free mass with the metabolic syndrome in Chinese
(2009)Background: Excess fat leads to adverse health outcomes. Most previous studies investigating body fatness using BMI or fat percentage, which contain both fat mass and fat-free mass, were not able to differentiate the ... -
An index of fatal toxicity for drugs of misuse
(2010)Objective : To determine the lethal toxicity of five commonly-used illicit substances by relating the number of associated deaths to their availability. Methods : An index of toxicity was calculated for each of five drugs ... -
An index of fatal toxicity for new psychoactive substances
(2018-07-01)An index of fatal toxicity for new psychoactive substances has been developed based solely on information provided on death certificates. An updated index of fatal toxicity (T f), as first described in 2010, was calculated ... -
Indexing Dialysis Dose for Gender, Body size and Physical Activity: Impact on Survival
(2018-07-25)Background Current practice basing dialysis dose on urea distribution volume (V), has been questioned. We explored the impact on survival of scaling dialysis dose (Kt) to parameters reflective of metabolic activity. ... -
Indexing dialysis dose for gender, body size and physical activity: Impact on survival
(2018-09-07)Current practice basing dialysis dose on urea distribution volume (V) has been questioned. We explored the impact on survival of scaling dialysis dose (Kt) to parameters reflective of metabolic activity. In a multicentre ...
