The Long March or Bold Strokes : Comparing Strategies for Adopting EVS Learning Technology at a UK University
(ACPI (Academic Conference Publishing International), 2014-10)In recent years there has been much encouragement to investigate the use of classroom technologies to enhance the student learning experience especially in the STEM subjects but now extending across other subject areas as ... -
The long rapid decay phase of the extended emission from the short GRB 080503
(2010)GRB 080503 was classified as a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) with extended emission. The origin of such extended emission (found in about a quarter of Swift short GRBs) is still unclear and may provide some clues to the ... -
Long secondary periods in variable red giants
(2009)We present a study of a sample of Large Magellanic Cloud red giants exhibiting Long Secondary Periods (LSPs). We use radial velocities obtained from VLT spectral observations and MACHO and OGLE light curves to examine ... -

The Long Stare at Hercules X-1. I. Emission Lines from the Outer Disk, the Magnetosphere Boundary, and the Accretion Curtain
(2022-09-14)Hercules X-1 is a nearly edge-on accreting X-ray pulsar with a warped accretion disk, precessing with a period of about 35 days. The disk precession allows for unique and changing sightlines toward the X-ray source. To ... -
The long term impact of caesarean section scar problems on the individual and associated healthcare needs
(2016-03-01)The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term impact of Caesarian section (CS) scar problems on the individual. It also assessed the help that women would like to receive for these issues. Nineteen participants ... -
Long term outcome after stroke : does dysphagia matter?
(2007)Background: swallowing problems (dysphagia) are common following acute stroke and are independent predictors of short-term outcome. It is uncertain as to whether these swallowing problems are associated with outcome in the ... -

A long-period planet orbiting a nearby Sun-like star
(2010)The Doppler wobble induced by the extra-solar planet HD 134987b was first detected by data from the Keck Telescope nearly a decade ago, and was subsequently confirmed by data from the Anglo-Australian Telescope (AAT). ... -
Long-period Radio Pulsars: Population Study in the Neutron Star and White Dwarf Rotating Dipole Scenarios
(2024-02-01)The nature of two recently discovered radio emitters with unusually long periods of 18min (GLEAM-X J1627-52) and 21min (GPM J1839-10) is highly debated. Their bright radio emission resembles that of radio magnetars, but ... -

Long-term depression and recognition of parallel fibre patterns in a multi-compartmental model of a cerebellar Purkinje cell
(2001-06)It has been suggested that long-term depression (LTD) of parallel fibre (PF) synapses enables a cerebellar Purkinje cell (PC) to learn to recognise PF activity patterns. We investigate the recognition of PF patterns that ... -
