A Hybrid Hierarchical Decision Support System for Cardiac Surgical Intensive Care Patients. Part II : Clinical Implementation and Evaluation
(2009-01)
Patients emerging from cardiac surgery can display varying degrees of cardiovascular instability arising from potentially complex, multi-factorial and interlinked causes. Stabilization and control of the cardiovascular ...
Older adults' recognition of bodily and auditory expressions of emotion
(2009)
This study compared young and older adults’ ability to recognize bodily and auditory expressions of emotion and to match bodily and facial expressions to vocal expressions. Using emotion discrimination and matching techniques, ...
High-energy particle acceleration at the radio-lobe shock of Centaurus A
(2009)
We present new results on the shock around the south-west radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations (740 ks total observing time). The X-ray spectrum of the emission around the ...
Acquisition of knowledge of other healthcare disciplines through simulation
(2009)
Introduction : Students have few opportunities to practise alongside other disciplines. Simulation offers an ideal context to provide experience in a safe and controlled environment to junior trainees. This project explores ...
Barley elicits a similar early basal defence response during host and non-host interactions with Polymyxa root parasites
(2009-01)
Plant viruses transmitted by the obligate root-infecting plasmodiophorid parasites Polymyxa graminis and Polymyxa betae cause devastating yield losses to cereal and sugar beet crops worldwide. Barley is a non-host for P. ...
GRB 080503: Implications of a Naked Short Gamma-Ray Burst Dominated by Extended Emission
(2009)
We report on observations of GRB 080503, a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) with very bright extended emission (about 30 times the gamma-ray fluence of the initial spike) in conjunction with a thorough comparison to other short ...
Understanding the Interaction Between an Obligate Hyperparasitic Bacterium, Pasteuria penetrans and its Obligate Plant-Parasitic Nematode Host, Meloidogyne spp.
(Elsevier, 2009)
Pasteuria penetrans is an endospore-forming bacterium, which is a hyperparasite of root-knot nematodes Meloidogyne spp. that are economically important pests of a wide range of crops. The life cycle of the bacterium and ...
Skin problems : assessing needs and delivering services
(2009)
The high prevalence and morbidity of conditions affecting skin breakdown is strongly related to age and creates a large burden of disease. More research is needed into the complex mechanism of skin breakdown, but impaired ...
Food, body and soul : The role of disgust in eating disorders
(American Psychological Association, 2009)
Aspirin induces apoptosis in mesenchymal stem cells requiring Wnt/beta-catenin pathway
(2009)
Background and Objectives: Mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) are multipotent progenitor cells that are have found use in regenerative medicine. We have previously observed that aspirin, a widely used anti-inflammatory drug, ...
