Investigation into the functionality of controlled drug denaturing/destruction kits
(2015-03)Context: Throughout the UK a large amount of unwanted, expired or patient returned controlled drugs are disposed of every day, in community and hospital pharmacies, veterinary surgeries, hospices, private hospitals and ... -
An investigation into the in vivo performance variability of pH responsive polymers for ileo-colonic drug delivery using gamma scintigraphy in humans
(2006-12)Gastrointestinal performance of tablets coated with pH responsive acrylic polymers (Eudragit) was investigated in human volunteers. Tablet cores were coated with Eudragit S dissolved in ethanol (organic), Eudragit S aqueous ... -
An investigation into the influence of binary drug solutions upon diffusion and partition processes in model membranes
(2008-12)Few studies have assessed the impact of binary systems on the fundamental mathematical models that describe drug permeation. The aim of this work was to determine the influence of varying the proportions of prilocaine and ... -
An investigation into the measurement of notations used in software modelling
(University of Hertfordshire, 1996)Measurement systems for software abound in the literature as do those for models in specification languages. This report applies measurement to the formal notations themselves making use of the principle of model-based ... -
An investigation into the nutritional composition and cost of gluten-free versus regular food products in the UK
(2018-02-01)Background: The gluten-free (GF) food market has expanded considerably, although there is limited comparative evidence for the nutritional quality and cost of GF food products. The present study aims to compare the nutrient ... -
An investigation into the performance and representation of a stochastic evolutionary neural tree
(Springer Nature, 1997)The Stochastic Competitive Evolutionary Neural Tree (SCENT) is a new unsupervised neural net that dynamically evolves a representational structure in response to its training data. Uniquely SCENT requires no initial parameter ... -
An investigation into the public health roles of community learning disability nurses.
(2015-03)International studies have shown poor uptake of public health initiatives by people with learning disabilities. In addition, studies have shown that people with learning disabilities experience poor access to public health ... -
An investigation into the relationship between customer relationship marketing and customer retention: superstore retailing context in Bangladesh
(2018-12-01)The context of this study is Bangladesh`s food retailing sector. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between Customer Relationship Marketing (CRM) and customer retention. The core aim of ... -
An investigation into the use of error recovery dialogues in a user interface management system for speech recognition
(University of Hertfordshire, 1990)Experiments were carried out to assess new users' attitudes to different versions of a speech input word processing system providing different error recovery strategies. Whilst they preferred a simple error message to none ... -
Investigation of a reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for a weakly basic drug
(2005-09)Formulation development of combination drug products requires the availability of a rapid analytical method with low limits of detection, for the high-throughput analysis of the large number of samples generated. Salmeterol ... -
Investigation of adhesive joining strategies for the application of a multi-material light rail vehicle
(2021-11-18)To meet the high demand for lightweight energy-efficient and safe structures for transport applications, a current state-of-the-art light rail vehicle structure is under development that adopts a multi-material design ... -
Investigation of Alpha-Induced Reactions on 107Ag at Astrophysical Energies
(2016-01-05)Cross sections of the 107Ag(α, γ)111In and 107Ag(α,n)110In reactions have been measured with the activation method at effective center-of-mass energies between 7.79 MeV and 12.00 MeV close to the astrophysical energy range. ... -
Investigation of alpha-induced reactions on Ba-130 and Ba-132 and their importance for the synthesis of heavy p nuclei
(2012-02-17)Captures of a particles on the proton-richest barium isotope, Ba-130, have been studied in order to provide cross-section data for the modeling of the astrophysical gamma process. The cross sections of the Ba-130(alpha,g ... -
