Ring Structure and Warp of NGC 5907: Interaction with Dwarf Galaxies
(1998)
The edge-on, nearby spiral galaxy NGC 5907 has long been used as the prototype of a “noninteracting” warped galaxy. We report here the discovery of two interactions with companion dwarf galaxies that substantially change ...
The impact of a stress management programme on staff well-being and performance at work
(1998)
Stress management programmes were implemented for direct care staff in two group homes for people with learning disabilities. Staff working in three similar homes were used as controls. Assessments were made of anxiety and ...
Behavioural effects of subthalmic nucleus lesions in the hemiparkinsonian marmoset.(Callithrix jacchus)
(1998)
Recent studies in non-human primates support a role for the subthalamic nucleus in the expression of parkinsonian symptomatology, and it has been proposed that subthalamic lesions may provide a surgical treatment for the ...
Explosive nucleosynthesis and the astrophysical r-process
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 1998)
We give an overview of chemical equilibria in explosive burning and the role which neutron and/or proton separation energies play. We focus then on the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) which encounters unstable ...
Spectrophotometric analysis of RNA
(Humana Press, 1998)
Establishing initial user requirements for PAM-AID: a mobility and support device to assist frail and elderly visually impaired persons
(IOS Press, 1998)
The PAM-AID project aims to build an intelligent, indoor mobility aid for frail and elderly visually impaired people which will provide both physical and navigational support for walking. The objective is to allow users ...
Proton/Hydrogen Transfer Affects the S-State-Dependent Microsecond Phases of P680+ Reduction during Water Splitting
(1998)
To investigate a possible coupling between P680+ reduction and hydrogen transfer, we studied the effects of H2O/D2O exchange on the P680+ reduction kinetics in the nano- and microsecond domains. We concentrated on studying ...
Comparison of the effects of drugs on hyperexcitability induced in hippocampal slices by withdrawal from chronic ethanol consumption
(1998)
The effects of drugs, previously demonstrated to have a range of effects on the behavioural signs of ethanol withdrawal hyperexcitability, were examined in area CA1 in isolated hippocampal slices prepared after withdrawal ...
Nucleosynthesis at the proton drip line - a challenge for nuclear physics
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 1998)
The rp-process in X-ray bursts is investigated using a complete and updated nuclear reaction network from H to Sr, that is coupled to a one dimensional, one zone X-ray burst model. In particular we consider 2p-capture ...
