Predicting Successful Introduction of Novel Fruit to Preschool Children
(2012-12)
Background: Few children eat sufficient fruits and vegetables despite their established health benefits. The feeding practices used by parents when introducing novel foods to their children, and their efficacy, require ...
A planetary system with gas giants and super-Earths around the nearby M dwarf GJ676A : Optimizing data analysis techniques for the detection of multi-planetary systems
(2012-12-01)
Context. Several M dwarfs are targets of systematical monitoring in searches for Doppler signals caused by low-mass exoplanet companions. As a result, an emerging population of high-multiplicity planetary systems around ...
Herschel-ATLAS : the far-infrared properties and star-formation rates of broad absorption line quasi-stellar objects
(2012-12-01)
We have used data from the Herschel Astrophysical Terahertz Large-Area Survey (H-ATLAS) at 250, 350 and 500 μm to determine the far-infrared (FIR) properties of 50 broad absorption line quasars (BAL QSOs)
An ALMA survey of submillimetre galaxies in the Extended Chandra Deep Field-South : Detection of [Cii] at z = 4.4
(2012-12-01)
We present Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) 870-μm (345-GHz) observations of two submillimetre galaxies (SMGs) drawn from an ALMA study of the 126 submillimetre sources from the LABOCA Extended Chandra Deep Field-South ...
Potency and selectivity of carprofen enantiomers for inhibition of bovine cyclooxygenase in whole blood assays
(2012-12)
Whole blood in vitro assays were used to determine the potency and selectivity of carprofen enantiomers for inhibition of the isoforms of cyclooxygenase (COX), COX-1 and COX-2, in the calf. S(+)-carprofen possessed ...

Using Challenge Questions for Student Authentication in Online Examination
(2012-12-01)
With the growth of Internet and technology in the past decade, online learning has become increasingly popular and evolved. Online examination is an integral and vital component of online learning. Student assessment in ...
The potential for online peer assessment : reflections from two modules
(2012-12)
The work described in this presentation relates to the evolution of peer assessment in first year undergraduate students in Life Sciences and Computer Science at the University of Hertfordshire. The objective of this ...
Identifying ultra-cool dwarfs at low Galactic latitudes : a southern candidate catalogue
(2012-12)
We present an ultra-cool dwarf (UCD) catalogue compiled from low southern Galactic latitudes and mid-plane, from a cross-correlation of the Two Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS) and the SuperCOSMOS survey. The catalogue contains ...
An Empirical Study on Using Visual Embellishments in Visualization
(2012-12)
In written and spoken communications, figures of speech (e. g., metaphors and synecdoche) are often used as an aid to help convey abstract or less tangible concepts. However, the benefits of using rhetorical illustrations ...
