Assessing the quality of decision support technologies using the International Patient Decision Aid Standards instrument (IPDASi)
(2009)
To describe the development, validation and inter-rater reliability of an instrument to measure the quality of patient decision support technologies (decision aids).
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 ...

(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 ...
High-energy Particle Acceleration and Production of Ultra-high-energy Cosmic Rays in the Giant Lobes of Centaurus A
(2009)
The nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A is poorly studied at high frequencies with conventional radio telescopes because of its very large angular size, but is one of a very few extragalactic objects to be detected and resolved ...
Selection functions in doppler planet searches
(2009)
We present a preliminary analysis of the sensitivity of Anglo-Australian Planet Search data to the orbital parameters of extrasolar planets. To do so, we have developed new tools for the automatic analysis of large-scale ...
