Deep Chandra Monitoring Observations of NGC 3379 : Catalog of Source Properties
(2008-11-01)
We present the properties of the discrete X-ray sources detected in our monitoring program of the `typical' elliptical galaxy, NGC 3379, observed with Chandra ACIS-S in five separate pointings, resulting in a co-added ...
COX-1, and not COX-2 activity, regulates airway function : Relevance to aspirin-sensitive asthma
(2008-11-01)
Cyclooxygenase (COX) -1 and COX-2 are expressed in airway cells, where their activities influence functions such as airway hyperreactivity. Clinical data show that mixed COX-1/COX-2 inhibitors such as aspirin, but not COX-2 ...
Least Squares Percentage Regression
(2008-11)
In prediction, the percentage error is often felt to be more meaningful than the absolute error. We therefore extend the method of least squares to deal with percentage errors, for both simple and multiple regression. Exact ...
The effect of polymer architecture on the nano self-assemblies based on novel comb-shaped amphiphilic poly(allylamine)
(2008-11)
Twelve novel poly(allylamine) (PAA)-based, comb-shaped amphiphilic polymers have been developed. Hydrophobic groups of cetyl, palmitoyl and cholesteryl were randomly grafted to PAA and quaternisation was carried out on ...
The Properties of Sub-mm Galaxies in Hierarchical Models
(2008-11)
We use the combined GALFORM semi-analytical model of galaxy formation and GRASIL spectrophotometric code to investigate the properties of galaxies selected via their sub-mm emission. Our fiducial model has previously been ...
Research into the current and potential climate change mitigation impacts of environmental stewardship (BD2302)
(Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), 2008-11)
In March 2005 the UK Government launched ‘Securing the Future – UK Government sustainable development strategy’, a component of which is ‘sustainable production and consumption’. In addition, the Department for Environment, ...
The impact of portfolios on health professionals' practice : A literature review
(2008-11)
Objectives: The purpose of this paper is to review the literature on the use of a portfolio and discuss the evidence for the impact of a portfolio on professional practice, in particular pharmacy practice. Method: A ...
Mass measurements in the vicinity of the r p-process and the nu p-process paths with the Penning trap facilities JYFLTRAP and SHIPTRAP
(2008-11)
The masses of very neutron-deficient nuclides close to the astrophysical r p- and nu p-process paths have been determined with the Penning trap facilities JYFLTRAP at JYFL/Jyvaskyla and SHIPTRAP at GSI/Darmstadt. Isotopes ...
Manipulation of corticosteroid release from a transiently supersaturated topical metered dose aerosol using a residual miscible co-solvent
(2008-11)
Purpose. The creation of supersaturation transiently after application overcomes the issue of drug instability. However, if the solvents used to drive supersaturation evaporate too quickly, drug recrystallisation or rapid ...
