A waste of energy? A critical assessment of the investigation of the UK Energy Market by the Competition and Markets Authority
(2017-02-01)In this paper, we assess the findings of the UK energy market investigation by the Competition and Markets Authority, conducted during June 2014–June 2016.We argue that the results of the investigation have been advantageous ... -
Watching Brief
(2012-01)Learning disability nursing is facing a crucial time and action is needed if the profession is to continue in its current form... -
Water Absorption And Effect Of Temperature On The Characteristics Of Flax/Hemp Reinforced Composites
(2019-07-03)Composite are now accepted in various structural application; but the current emphasis has shifted towards environmental issues, which gives natural fibres the advantage as they are eco-friendly and biodegradable. This ... -
Water and temperature relations of Fusarium langsethiae strains and modelling of growth and T-2 and HT-2 mycotoxin production on oat-based matrices
(2021-06-16)In the UK and Northern Europe, ripening oats can become contaminated with T-2 and HT-2 mycotoxins, produced mainly by Fusarium langsethiae. There are indicative levels related to the maximum limits for oat grain for these ... -
Water and titanium oxide in late-type M dwarfs
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 1996)Despite the identification of brown dwarf candidates the lack of understanding of M dwarfs has meant that it has not been possible to unambiguously distinguish these candidates from cool M dwarfs. Unlike hotter stars their ... -
Water Harvesters of The Western Ghats
(UH School of Creative Art (digital media), 2013-08-28)A short film about traditinal water harvesters practising suranga irrigation in southern Karnataka and northern Kerala, India -
Water metering: in search of a more critical debate.
(CIWEM / Aqua Enviro, 2006)This paper argues that the envisaged role for domestic metering in conserving and reducing the demands placed upon water resources should be subject to more open and critical debate. Such debate is central to ensuring ... -
Water Uptake by Evaporating pMDI Aerosol Prior to Inhalation Affects Both Regional and Total Deposition in the Respiratory System
(2021-06-24)As pulmonary drug deposition is a function of aerosol particle size distribution, it is critical that the dynamics of particle formation and maturation in pMDI sprays in the interim between generation and inhalation are ... -
Water use attitudes in the UK pharmaceutical industry
(2013-12)This paper presents the findings of a small-scale pilot study that sought to identify and explore attitudes toward water use in the pharmaceutical industry based in the United Kingdom. As a result of a series of in-depth ... -
Water vapour intercomparison effort in the frame of the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)The main objective of this work is to provide accurate error estimates for the different water vapour profiling sensors based on an intensive inter-comparison effort. The inter-comparison, performed in the framework of ... -
The water vapour intercomparison effort in the framework of the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study : airborne-to-ground-based and airborne-to-airborne lidar systems
(2011-01)An intensive water vapour intercomparison effort, involving airborne and ground-based water vapour lidar systems, was carried out in the framework of the COPS experiment. The main objective of this paper is to provide ... -
The water-content water activity relationship of cured tobacco and water relations of associated spoilage fungi
(1990)The relationship between moisture content and water activity (aw) in cured tobacco was significantly influenced by sugar content. Overall, high sugar tobaccos such as Oriental and Virginia had a higher moisture content at ... -
Waveguide electro-optic modulation in II-VI compounds
(1973)Electro-optic intensity modulation is demonstrated in three-dimensional (channel) waveguides fabricated by diffusion techniques in ZnSe and CdS. Typical diffused guide dimensions are 1.6 μm × 19 μm × 2 mm. Two electrode ... -
The wavelength dependence of polarization in BL Lac objects
(1983)Accurate polarization measurements of six BL Lac objects and one highly polarized QSO have been obtained simultaneously at optical and near-infrared wavelengths. The polarizations observed in the infrared are generally ... -
Wavelet basis selection for enhanced speech parametrization in speaker verification
(2014-03-31)We study the inherent properties of nine wavelet functions and subsequently evaluate their applicability as basis functions in a speech parametrization scheme that is advantageous for speaker verification. Particularly, ... -
Wavelet neural network approach for fault diagnosis of analogue circuits
(2004)A systematic method for fault diagnosis of analogue circuits based on the combination of neural networks and wavelet transforms is presented. Using wavelet decomposition as a tool for removing noise from the sampled signals, ... -
Wavelet-Based Kernel Construction for Heart Disease Classification
(2019-09)Heart disease classification plays an important role in clinical diagnoses. The performance improvement of an Electrocardiogram classifier is therefore of great relevance, but it is a challenging task too. This paper ... -
Wayfinding and path integration deficits detected using a virtual reality mobile app in patients with traumatic brain injury
(2023-03-09)The ability to navigate is supported by a wide network of brain areas which are particularly vulnerable to disruption brain injury, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). Wayfinding and the ability to orient back to the ... -
