Differences on social acceptance of humanoid robots between Japan and the UK
(The Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and the Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), 2015-04)To validate a questionnaire for measuring people's acceptance of humanoid robots in cross-cultural research (the Frankenstein Syndrome Questionnaire: FSQ), an online survey was conducted in both the UK and Japan including ... -
A different approach of using Personas in human-robot interaction : Integrating Personas as computational models to modify robot companions' behaviour
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2013)The current paper focuses on a novel integration of the Personas technique into HRI studies, and the definition of a Persona-Based Computational Behaviour Model for achieving socially intelligent robot companions in living ... -
A different approach to university rankings
(2012-01)Educationalists are well able to find fault with rankings on numerous grounds and may reject them outright. However, given that they are here to stay, we could also try to improve them wherever possible. All currently ... -
A different approach to university rankings (WP)
(University of Hertfordshire, 2011)Educationalists are well able to find fault with rankings on numerous grounds and may reject them outright. However, given that they are here to stay, we could also try to improve them wherever possible. All currently ... -
Different aspects of the lived experience of intellectual disabilities
(2010)In this issue of Journal of Intellectual Disabilities the first three papers present different aspects of the lived experience of intellectual disabilities, and each of these is undertaken through the use of different ... -
Different classifiers find different defects although with different level of consistency
(ACM Press, 2015-10-21)BACKGROUND - During the last 10 years hundreds of different defect prediction models have been published. The performance of the classifiers used in these models is reported to be similar with models rarely performing above ... -
The different impact of attention, movement and sensory information on body metric representation
(2023-06-29)A growing body of research investigating the relationship between body representation and tool-use has shown that body representation is highly malleable. The nature of the body representation does not consist only of ... -
Different patterns of faecal egg output following infection of Scottish blackface lambs with Ostertagia circumcincta
(1995-08)Faecal nematode egg counts were monitored in 184 Scottish Blackface lambs during natural exposure to a mixed, predominantly Ostertagia circumcincta infection and 12 lambs were selected which showed consistently zero (low ... -
Different strokes for different folks : The bodymind approach as a learning tool for patients with medically unexplained symptoms to self-manage
(2018-11-13)Medically unexplained symptoms (MUS) are common and costly in both primary and secondary health care. It is gradually being acknowledged that there needs to be a variety of interventions for patients with MUS to meet the ... -
Differential and Common Signatures of miRNA Expression and Methylation in Childhood Central Nervous System Malignancies: An Experimental and Computational Approach
(2021-10-31)Epigenetic modifications are considered of utmost significance for tumor ontogenesis and progression. Especially, it has been found that miRNA expression, as well as DNA methylation plays a significant role in central ... -
Differential dose–response effect of cyclosporine A in regulating apoptosis and autophagy markers in MCF-7 cells
(2023-05-19)Cyclosporine A (CsA) is an immunosuppressant primarily used at a higher dosage in transplant medicine and autoimmune diseases with a higher success rate. At lower doses, CsA exhibits immunomodulatory properties. CsA has ... -
Differential Effect of Helicobacter pylori Eradication on Time-Trends in Brady/Hypokinesia and Rigidity in Idiopathic Parkinsonism
(2010)Background: We examine the effect of eradicating Helicobacter in idiopathic parkinsonism (IP). Marked deterioration, where eradication-therapy failed, prompted an interim report in the first 20 probands to reach de-blinding. ... -
Differential effects of age on involuntary and voluntary autobiographical memory
(2009)Research on aging and autobiographical memory has focused almost exclusively on voluntary autobiographical memory. However, in everyday life, autobiographical memories often come to mind spontaneously without deliberate ... -
Differential effects of age on prospective and retrospective memory tasks in young, young-old, and old-old adults
(2009)Remembering to do something in the future (termed prospective memory) is distinguished from remembering information from the past (retrospective memory). Because prospective memory requires strong self-initiation, Craik ... -
Differential effects of sertraline and cognitive behavioural therapy on behavioural inhibition in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder
(2024-04-02)Patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) randomised to sertraline, manualised cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), or combination (sertraline + CBT), underwent cognitive assessment. Cognitive testing was conducted ... -
Differential expression of the capsaicin receptor TRPV1 and related novel receptors TRPV3, TRPV4 and TRPM8 in normal human tissues and changes in traumatic and diabetic neuropathy
(2007)Transient receptor potential (TRP) receptors expressed by primary sensory neurons mediate thermosensitivity, and may play a role in sensory pathophysiology. We previously reported that human dorsal root ganglion (DRG) ... -
Differential modulation of motor neurons that innervate the same muscle but use different excitatory transmitters in Aplysia
(1999-10)The medial portion of intrinsic buccal muscle 3 (I3m) is innervated by two excitatory motor neurons, B3 and B9. B3 uses glutamate as its fast transmitter and expresses the neuropeptide FMRFamide, whereas B9 uses acetylcholine ... -
Differential release of dopamine by nitric oxide in subregions of rat caudate putamen slices
(1998-11)Fast cyclic voltammetry was used to measure NO and dopamine (DA) simultaneously in rat caudate putamen (CPu) slices. Analysis of electrochemical signals obtained from mixtures of DA and NO showed that subtraction of either ... -
Differential rotation and star-spot evolution on HK Aqr in 2001 and 2002
(2004-08-01)We present images of the rapidly rotating (P-rot = 0.431 d) M1.5Ve dwarf HK Aqr, from data obtained during 2001 and 2002. Star-spots are found distributed at a range of latitudes during both observing seasons, but unlike ...
