Specific factors influencing patient satisfaction in Swiss ophthalmology private practice
(Springer Nature, 2021-10-13)Over the last decades, robust evidence linking patient satisfaction to hospital reputation and profitability has accrued, and patient satisfaction has now become a key focus in the healthcare industry. A review of the ... -
Specific Frontostriatal Circuits for Impaired Cognitive Flexibility and Goal-Directed Planning in Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder : Evidence From Resting-State Functional Connectivity
(2017-04-15)Background A recent hypothesis has suggested that core deficits in goal-directed behavior in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) are caused by impaired frontostriatal function. We tested this hypothesis in OCD patients and ... -
Specific polyclonal antibodies for the obligate plant parasite Polymyxa - a targeted recombinant DNA approach
(2000-04)Highly specific rabbit polyclonal antibodies for the obligate sugar-beet root parasite, Polymyxa betae, were produced using a novel recombinant DNA approach. Parasite cDNA was selectively isolated from infected roots, ... -
The specificity of social rank in eating disorder versus depressive symptoms
(2008)It has been proposed that an evolutionary approach to understanding rank and social status may contribute to our understanding of eating disorder symptoms. The present study sought to explore the degree to which rank might ... -
Specificity of the Network-Firm and the Boundaries of the Firm

Specifying Multiple Time Granularities in Interactive Systems
(2001)Time plays an important role in interactive systems, but can be difficult to specify, particularly where temporal properties exist at several different time granularities. The relationship between different time granularities ... -
Specifying the content of home-based health behaviour change interventions for older people with frailty or at risk of frailty: an exploratory systematic review
(2017-02-01)Abstract Objectives To identify trials of home-based health behaviour change interventions for frail older people, describe intervention content and explore its potential contribution to intervention effects. Design 15 ... -
Spectacles, Sport and Soviet ideology in the 1930s
(2010-07-02)After the October Revolution of 1917, the Bolsheviks embarked on an extensive, long-lasting, and very successful campaign to encourage the population of the Soviet Union to engage with sport and physical culture. The initial ... -
A Spectacular Bow Shock in the 11 keV Galaxy Cluster Around 3C 438
(2017-01-11)We present results of deep 153 ks Chandra observations of the hot, 11 keV, galaxy cluster associated with the radio galaxy 3C 438. By mapping the morphology of the hot gas and analyzing its surface brightness and temperature ... -
Spectra probing the number ratio of C-to M-type AGB stars in the NGC 6822 galaxy.
(2012-01)Aims. We calibrate spectroscopically the C-versus (vs.) M-type asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star selection made using near-IR photometry, and investigate the spatial distribution of the C/M ratio in NGC 6822, based on low ... -
Spectral age modelling of the 'Sausage' cluster radio relic
(2014-12-01)CIZA J2242.8+5301 is a post-core passage, binary merging cluster that hosts a large, thin, arc-like radio relic, nicknamed the 'Sausage', tracing a relatively strong shock front. We perform spatially resolved spectral ... -
Spectral ageing in the era of big data : Integrated versus resolved models
(2017-04-21)Continuous injection models of spectral ageing have long been used to determine the age of radio galaxies from their integrated spectrum; however, many questions about their reliability remain unanswered. With various large ... -
Spectral ageing in the lobes of cluster-centre FR II radio galaxies
(2015-12-21)Recent investigations have shown that many parameters and assumptions made in the application of spectral-ageing models to FR II radio galaxies (e.g. injection index, uniform magnetic field, non-negligible cross-lobe age ... -
Spectral ageing in the lobes of FR-II radio galaxies : New methods of analysis for broad-band radio data
(2013-11-01)The broad-bandwidth capabilities of next generation telescopes such as the Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA) mean that the spectrum of any given source varies significantly within the bandwidth of any given observation. ... -
Spectral Ageing in the Most Powerful Radio Galaxies
(2017-02-08)Radio-loud AGN represent the most energetic and influential large-scale structures in the Universe. Through physical processes such as AGN feedback, they are suggested to play a major role in the evolution of galaxies. ... -
Spectral analysis of hot subluminous stars
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1999)Optical spectra of 40 sdOB stars drawn from the Palomar Green and the Hamburg-Schmidt surveys are presented (including three EC 14026 stars). Eight of which are spectroscopic binaries. -
Spectral analysis of sdB Stars from the Hamburg ESO Survey
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)We aim at the compilation of a statistically complete sample of sdB stars in the southern hemisphere. Candidates are selected from the database of digitized spectra of the Hamburg/ESO objective prism survey. First simulations ...
