A New Song is a choral work commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford [‘One of the finest choirs on earth’ – Channel 4; ‘To hear a choir like this is to hear a quality of musicianship with no equal anywhere in ...
A new connection between the jet opening angle and the large-scale morphology of extragalactic radio sources
(2012-12-21)
In the case of an initially conical jet, we study the relation between jet collimation by the external pressure and large-scale morphology. We first consider the important length-scales in the problem, and then carry out ...
Individual Perspectives in Family Therapy: a Comparison of Perspectives
(2012-12-20)
There has been relatively little robust research investigating the experience of family therapy from a client’s perspective. Much of the literature fails to make clear their methods for analysing the data, and takes an ...
Vesiclepedia : a compendium for extracellular vesicles with continuous community annotation

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membraneous vesicles released by a variety of cells into their microenvironment. Recent studies have elucidated the role of EVs in intercellular communication, pathogenesis, drug, vaccine ...
The Yasso07 soil carbon model - Testing against repeated soil carbon inventory
(2012-12-15)
Forest soils store large amounts of carbon (C), and releases of C from this pool may significantly increase the CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere. Organic matter decomposition in soils has been shown to strongly depend ...
Star formation in high-redshift quasars : Excess [Oii] emission in the radio-loud population
(2012-12-11)
We investigate the [O ii] emission-line properties of 18 508 quasars at z < 1.6 drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasar sample. The quasar sample has been separated into 1692 radio-loud and 16 816 radio-quiet ...
Photometrically derived masses and radii of the planet and star in the TrES-2 system
(2012-12-10)
We measure the mass and radius of the star and planet in the TrES-2 system using 2.7 years of observations by the Kepler spacecraft. The light curve shows evidence for ellipsoidal variations and Doppler beaming on a period ...
Quality of Life and Survival in Patients with Advanced Kidney Failure Managed Conservatively or by Dialysis
(2012-12-07)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Benefits of dialysis in elderly dependent patients are not clearcut. Some patients forego dialysis, opting for conservative kidney management (CKM). This study prospectively compared quality of ...
