Enhancing the experience of the first year student nurses studying bioscience
(University of Hertfordshire, 2009)
The aim of the project is to design a curriculum thread that delivers appropriate bioscience to pre-registration nurses throughout their three year programme and to explore new and innovative methods of delivery that can ...
Planetpol polarimetry of the exoplanet systems 55 Cnc and tau Boo
(2009)
We present very sensitive polarimetry of 55 Cnc and τ Boo in an attempt to detect the partially polarized reflected light from the planets orbiting these two stars. 55 Cnc is orbited by a hot Neptune planet (55 Cnc e) at ...
Towards an alternative economics of health care
(2009-01-01)
It is argued here that an economics centred on subjective utility-maximization is unsuitable for the analysis and policy grounding of health care provision. To some extent, the peculiarities of health care have been ...
Increased portion size leads to a sustained increase in energy intake over 4 days in normal weight and overweight men and women
(2009)
Large food portions may be facilitating excess energy intake (EI) and adiposity among adults. The present study aimed to assess the extent to which EI and amounts of foods consumed are influenced by the availability of ...
The Great Crash of 2008 and the reform of economics
(2009)
The 2008 economic crash led to remarkable shifts of opinion among world leaders. Does this crisis create favourable conditions for the reform and revitalisation of economics itself—from a subject dominated by mathematical ...
Global convergence using de-linked Goldstein or Wolfe linesearch conditions
(2009)
Goldstein or Wolfe conditions can be imposed on a linesearch to ensure convergence of an iterative nonlinear optimization algorithm to a stationary point. However it is actually not necessary to find a single step which ...
Effect of listening to Nellie the Elephant during CPR training on performance of chest compressions by lay people : randomised crossover trial
(2009)
To determine whether listening to music during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training increases the proportion of lay people delivering chest compressions of 100 per minute.
The UV-excess survey of the northern galactic plane
(2009)
The UV-Excess survey of the northern Galactic plane images a 10°× 185° wide band, centred on the Galactic equator using the 2.5-m Isaac Newton Telescope in four bands ( U, g, r, He i 5875) down to ∼21–22 mag ( ~20 in He i ...
Cosmic rays and the magnetic field in the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. II The magnetic field
(2009)
Context. There are several edge-on galaxies with a known magnetic field structure in their halo. A vertical magnetic field significantly enhances the cosmic-ray transport from the disk into the halo. This could explain the ...
