Laboratory calibration of open channel bed resistance
(2000)This paper deals with the calibration of bed resistance to flow in a straight open channel contained within a laboratory flume. The longitudinal slope of the flume was able to be varied, and so the flow could be subcritical ... -
Laboratory rearing of mosquitos (Anopheles arabiensis): impact on genetic variability and implications for Sterile Insect Technique (SIT) based mosquito control in northern Sudan
(2016-08-25)The population genetic makeup of the 13th generation of a laboratory colony of Anopheles arabiensis mosquitos at 11 microsatellite loci was compared to that of the field population from which the colony was founded. Major ... -
A laboratory-based evaluation of tube blocking and microbial risks associated with one blended enteral feed recipe
(2019-10-01)Background: Concerns associated with blended enteral feeds include the risk of blocked tubes and microbial contamination, although the available evidence is limited. The present laboratory-based investigation aimed to ... -

Labour strategies, cross-border solidarity and the mobility of health workers : Evidence from five New Member States
(2015-12-01)Shortages of health workers in Western Europe have been addressed, in part, by recruitment from New Member States. In addition to concerns regarding social dumping and cohesion, the loss of human capital and subsequent ... -
Labour Unionism in the Financial Services Sector : Fighting for Rights and Representation
(Ashgate Publishing, 2008-12-01)In recent years, there has been an acute crisis of worker representation in the finance sector in Britain. Labour union and staff association membership and density has fallen, collective organisation has experienced ... -
Lack of awareness of kidney complications despite familiarity with diabetes : a multi-ethnic qualitative study
(2011)Background: Comparing South Asians with White Europeans and examining the cultural context of any observed differences is a necessary step in achieving culturally competent services and in helping to reduce inequalities ... -
Lack of effect of the novel anticonvulsant SB 204269 on voltage dependent currents in neurones cultured from rat hippocampus
(1999)The novel anticonvulsant SB-204269 inhibits epileptiform afterdischarges induced by high K+ in rat hippocampal slices. Its effects on voltage-gated Na+ currents, measured from cultured hippocampal neurones using whole cell ... -
Lactate and glucose as energy substrates during, and after, oxygen deprivation in rat hippocampal acute and cultured slices
(2003)The effects of raised brain lactate levels on neuronal survival following hypoxia or ischemia is still a source of controversy among basic and clinical scientists. We have sought to address this controversy by studying the ... -
Lactation following bereavement: how can midwives support women to make informed choices?
(2017-12-01)Perinatal loss, defined as the death of a baby within the neonatal period, stillbirth or late miscarriage (determined for the purpose of this paper as 20 weeks’ gestation), has been identified by multiple agencies and ... -
Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG conditioned media modulates acute reactive oxygen species and nitric oxide in J774 murine macrophages
(2016-07-01)Phagocytes such as macrophages are capable of detecting and killing pathogenic bacteria by producing reactive oxygen and nitrogen species. Formation of free radicals in macrophages may be regulated by probiotics or by ... -
Lads’ Mags and the Postfeminist Masquerade: The Aftermath of an Era of Inequality
(2022-08-19)This Viewpoint considers the rise of lads’ mags and wider lad culture between 1996-2006 as a historically illuminating period that marked a shift in societal perceptions of gender equality and contributed towards a hostile ... -
Lag-lead based assessment and adaptation of exercise speed for stroke survivors
(2015-11-01)The SCRIPT project aims at delivering machine-mediated hand and wrist exercises to people with stroke in their homes. In this context, adapting the exercise to the individual needs potentially enhances recovery. We designed ... -
Lagrangian Approach for Simulating Supercooled Large Droplets’ Impingement Effect
(2015-03-01)In this paper, a droplet tracking method and a splashing model have been developed to calculate the droplet collection efficiency in a supercooled-large-droplets regime using the Lagrangian computational method. In the ... -
Lagrangian modelling of plume chemistry for secondary pollutants in large industrial plumes
(2008)Industrial sources of nitrogen oxides range from boilers and metal furnaces to fossil fuel power stations. Current UK regulatory practice for these plumes adopts a fixed proportion of nitrogen dioxide, as a simple and ... -
Lakatos as historian of mathematics
(1997)This paper discusses the connection between the actual history of mathematics and Lakatos's philosophy of mathematics, in three parts. The first points to studies by Lakatos and others which support his conception of ... -
