First SCUBA Polarimetry of Two Candidate High-Mass Protostellar Objects
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2005)We present the first polarimetry towards two candidate highmass protostellar objects - W48W and S152SE. The polarimetry across both candidate HMPOs is ordered with a high degree of polarization (6-8%) compared to that of ... -
The first second : Models of short-term memory traces in the brain
(2009)Many network models in computational neuroscience rise to the challenge of explaining behavioural phenomena ranging from microseconds to tens of seconds using components operating mostly on a time-scale of milliseconds. ... -
First Steps in Bridging the Gap between the Virtual Learning Environment and Social Media : Students Attitudes
(2012-06)The eSCISM project aims to bridge the divide between a student’s academic community of practice and their existing social networks. While students are using social media amongst themselves, a divide remains between tutors’ ... -
The first ten years of the third statutory union recognition procedure in Britain.
(2010)6 June 2010 represented the tenth anniversary of the introduction of the third statutory union recognition procedure in Britain. In order to assess its outcomes and impact, the determinations of the bodies which administer ... -
The First Three Minutes : Seducing the Audience
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2011)The importance of an opening sequence in any short film is discussed, using Arranged Marriage (2003) as an example. I argue that a strong opening sequence is vital to keep interest in a film going. This is possible only ... -
First UK field application and performance of microcapsule-based self-healing concrete
(2019-05-30)Maintaining the health and reliability of our infrastructure is of strategic importance. The current state of the UK infrastructure, and the associated huge costs of inspection, maintenance, repair and eventual replacement, ... -
First VLT spectra of white dwarfs in a globular cluster
(2000)We present the first spectra obtained with the Very Large Telescope for white dwarfs in a globular cluster. Estimates of atmospheric parameters are obtained and compared to evolutionary tracks. We discuss possible implications ... -
Fission barriers : How do they affect the R-process?
(World Scientific Publishing, 2004-02)Fission is an important process which is responsible not only for the yields of transuranium isotopes, but may have a strong influence on the formation of the majority of heavy nuclei due to fission recycling in the ... -
Fission Cross-section Measurements of U-233, Cm-245 and Am-241,Am-243 at CERN n_TOF Facility
(2011-08-11)Neutron-induced fission cross-sections of minor actinides have been measured using the n_TOF white neutron source at CERN. Geneva, as part of a large experimental program aiming at collecting new data relevant for nuclear ... -
Fission Cross-Section Measurements On (233)U And Minor Actinides At The CERN n_TOF Facility
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)Neutron-induced fission cross-sections of minor actinides have been measured at the white neutron source n_TOF at CERN, Geneva. The studied isotopes include (233)U, interesting for Th/U based nuclear fuel cycles, (241,243)Am ... -
Fission Fragment Angular Distribution measurements of 235U and 238U at CERN n-TOF facility
(EDP Sciences, 2016-03-15)Neutron-induced fission cross sections of 238U and 235U are used as standards in the fast neutron region up to 200 MeV. A high accuracy of the standards is relevant to experimentally determine other neutron reaction cross ... -
FIT - Do something different : A new behavioral program for sustained weight loss
(2011)Two 3-month longitudinal studies examined weight loss following a 1-month behavioral intervention (FIT-DSD) focusing on increasing participants' behavioral flexibility and breaking daily habits. The goal was to break the ... -
A FIT approach to work stress and health

A fit body leads to a fit heart and reduced risk of CVD
(2011)“We now recognise the brain as the seat of the psyche, but the functions of the mind are dependent on the whole body and the harmonious interaction of all its parts.” (Sir Frederick Walker Mott 1853-1926. British neurologist, ... -
Fit for purpose? OASys assessments and parole decisions
(2008)This article arose out of the increased focus by the public, government and professions on whether parole board decisions, and the risk assessments that inform those decisions, protect the public sufficiently in the light ... -
FIT Science for Improving Family Functioning and Parental Stress
(2011-07-28)This thesis used FIT Science (Fletcher & Stead, 2000) as a framework to study different aspects of family functioning. FIT variables measure the cognitive and behavioural characteristics of a ...
