Views of nursing staff on the use of physical restraint
(2003)A postal questionnaire survey was employed in regional secure and psychiatric intensive care units in England and Wales, in respect of mental health nurses' training in the use of physical restraint. The nurses' views were ... -
VII Zw 403: H I structure in a blue compact dwarf galaxy
(2011-09)We present optical (UBVJ), ultraviolet (FUV, NUV), and high-resolution atomic hydrogen (H I) observations of the nearby blue compact dwarf (BCD), VII Zw 403. We find that VII Zw 403 has a relatively high H I mass-to-light ... -
Vintage Bit Cryptography
(2009)We propose to use a Random High-Rate Binary (RHRB) stream for the purpose of key distribution. The idea is as follows. Assume availability of a high-rate (terabits per second) broadcaster sending random content. Members ... -
Vintage bit cryptography. (Transcript of discussion)
(2009)This may be a highly controversial talk, because this is an area where things are periodically rediscovered. But in the process of reinventing it, I think we’ve found a few interesting protocol issues, and a few interesting ... -
Vinyl polymer-coated lorazepam particles for drug delivery to the airways
(2011-05-30)A particle engineering method that adsorbs a microfine vinyl polymer coat to crystalline drug microparticles has been shown to be an effective way to control delivery. However, the means by which the functional performance ... -

A virial theorem for rotating charged perfect fluids in general relativity
(2003)We obtain an exact form of the virial theorem in general relativity, which is sufficiently general to be applied to charged, conducting, rotating perfect fluids in electromagnetic and gravitational fields. The case of ... -
