Influence of age on general practitioners' definition and treatment of hypertension
(1995)Recent guidelines on management of hypertension may unwittingly have focused some attention on the question of when treatment should start in younger patients. Although younger patients have a high relative risk of premature ... -
The influence of age on the variation among sheep in susceptibility to natural nematode infection
(2000-03-28)A longitudinal study of faecal nematode egg counts was made in naturally infected Scottish Blackface sheep over two grazing seasons to 75 weeks of age. Although egg counts were lower in the second grazing season the variation ... -
Influence of alcohol on the release of tramadol from 24-h controlled-release formulations during in vitro dissolution experiments
(2008)Recent warnings by regulatory bodies and a product recall by the FDA have generated much interest in the area of dose dumping from controlled-release opioid analgesic formulations when coingested with alcohol. It was the ... -
Influence of Alignment on the Scattering Properties Atmospheric Mineral Dust
(2008)We carry out an investigation of the influence of particle alignment on the scattering properties of mineral dust layers. Our modelling indicates that in addition to modifying optical thickness, the alignment can significantly ... -
The influence of Ammonia on the electrical properties of detonation nanodiamond
(2009-12-01)Detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) are an interesting class of materials for sensing applications, but little is currently understood about their electrical properties. Here, aggregated DNDs are explored with impedance ... -
Influence of barely visible impact damage on post-impact residual flexural properties of hybrid Fibri Rock – Aero Eco-composites
(2018-12-15)This study experimentally investigates the effects of barely visible impact damage (BVID) under low-velocity impact and its influence on post-impact residual flexural properties of hybrid flax-basalt Eco-composites Fibri ... -
The influence of binarity on dust obscuration events in the planetary nebula M 2-29 and its analogues
(2011)The central star of the planetary nebula (CSPN) M 2-29 shows an extraordinary R Coronae Borealis-like fading event in its optical lightcurve. The only other CSPN to show these events are CPD−56◦8032 (Hen 3-1333) and V651 ... -
Influence of biogenic pollen on optical properties of atmospheric aerosols observed by lidar over Gwangju, South Korea
(2013-04)For the first time, optical properties of biogenic pollen, i.e., backscatter coefficients and depolarization ratios at 532 nm were retrieved by lidar observations. The extinction coefficient was derived with the assumption ... -
The Influence of Care Home Managers’ Leadership on the Delivery of Person-centred Care for People Living with Dementia: A Systematic Review
(2023-05-17)Background. Care home managers’ leadership is recognised as directly influencing the care received by people living with dementia. What enables care home managers to promote and sustain person-centred care for residents ... -
Influence of Chronic Ankle Instability on Human Movement: a Three Dimensional Kinematic and Electromyographic Analysis
(2020-04-17)Context: Lateral ankle sprains are one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in the general and sporting population and as such present high-cost implications and time lost to sport and employment. Following an initial ... -
The influence of clothing on first impressions : Rapid and positive responses to minor changes in male attire
(2013)Clothing communicates information about the wearer and first impressions can be heavily influenced by the messages conveyed by attire. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of minor changes in clothing on ... -
The influence of continuing professional development portfolio records on pharmacy practice
(2009)The aim of this study was to undertake an in-depth investigation of the influence of continuing professional development (CPD) portfolios on pharmacy practice in the hospital setting. The objectives were to explore the ... -
Influence of Conventional Shot Peening Treatment on the Service Life Improvement of Bridge Steel Piles Subjected to Sea Wave Impact
(2023-08-09)The first goal of the current study is to estimate the fatigue life of the middle steel piles of an integrated bridge installed in water and subject to the impact of sea waves. In the following, the authors have tried to ... -

(2017-05-15)Purpose The purpose is to explore the significance of culture generally, and Arab culture in particular, for the development of trust in business-to-business banking relationships. Design/methodology Qualitative fieldwork ... -
The Influence of Deprivation and the Food Environment on Food and Drink Purchased by Secondary School Pupils Beyond the School Gate : final report
(Food Standards Scotland, 2015-04)The aim of the study was to investigate what food and drink young people aged 13-15 years purchase beyond the school gate at lunchtime and to explore the factors related to this purchasing. The importance of relative ... -
The influence of dietary supplementation with urea on resilience and resistance to infection with Haemonchus contortus
(1998-01)Previous research has indicated that supplementing an apparently adequate diet with additional protein improves both host resistance and resilience in lambs infected with Haemonchus contortus. The present study tested the ... -
The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during running
(2014-02-01)In running analyses where both kinetic and kinematic information is recorded, participants are required to make foot contact with a force and/or pressure measuring transducer. Problems arise if participants modify their ... -
The influence of different force and pressure measuring transducers on lower extremity kinematics measured during walking
(2014-07-01)The examination of synchronous three dimensional (3-D) kinetics and kinematics of walking in laboratory based analyses typically requires participants/patients to make foot contact with a force or pressure measuring device. ... -
