Using MgII to investigate quasars and their black-hole masses
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2004)We highlight the importance of the Mg II λ2800 emission-line doublet in probing high-redshift quasars and their supermassive black holes. In the SDSS era, where large scale investigations of quasars across the age of the ... -
Using modern teaching methods to improve wound care education and learning in clinical practice
(2008)Education has long been considered to be the quick fix to improve clinical practice and is routinely recommended in most clinical audits and ser vice reviews. Yet, despite an exponential rise in tissue viability education ... -
Using multi-dimensional methods to understand the development, interpretation and enactment of quality assurance policy within the educational development community
(2018-01-02)Policy texts are representations of practice that both reflect and shape the world around them. There is, however, little higher education research that critically analyses the impact of higher education policy on educational ... -
Using multi-environment sugar beet variety trials to screen for drought tolerance
(2006-02-15)Drought is a major limitation to sugar beet yield in many rainfed areas. Varieties with increased drought tolerance would improve productivity, but breeding specifically for drought tolerance is time-consuming and expensive. ... -
Using multimedia case study material for teaching requirements engineering
(University of Hertfordshire, 1997)This paper describes the development and use of multimedia case study materials on the World Wide Web. Materials were used in two final year courses on requirements engineering. The main motivation for providing materials ... -
Using multiple archives to understand past and present climate-human-environment interactions : the lake Erhai catchment, Yunnan Province, China
(2008-07)A 6.48 m sediment core sequence from Erhai lake, Yunnan Province, provides a multi-proxy record of Holocene environmental evolution and human activity in southwest China. These sedimentary records provide proxy time series ... -
Using myoelectric signals for gesture detection: a feasibility study
(2017-04-25)Abstract The propose of this study was to assess the feasibility of using myoelectric signals acquired using an off the shelf device, the Myo armband from Thalmic Lab. Background: With the technological advances in sensing ... -
Using n-grams to rapidly characterise the evolution of software code
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2008)Text-based approaches to the analysis of software evolution are attractive because of the fine-grained, token-level comparisons they can generate. The use of such approaches has, however, been constrained by the lack of ... -
Using neural networks to analyse software complexity
(University of Hertfordshire, 1995)Units of software are represented as points in a multidimensional space, by calculating 12 measures of software complexity for each unit. To large sets of commercial software are thereby represented as 2236 and 4456 12-ary ... -
Using neuroConstruct to develop and modify biologically detailed 3D neuronal network models in health and disease
(Academic Press, 2008)In this chapter, we describe neuroConstruct, a new software tool for developing, modifying and analyzing neural network models with biologically realistic properties in 3D space (Gleeson et al, 2007). Network models are ... -
Using NeuroML and neuroConstruct to build neuronal network models for multiple simulators
(2007)Poster presented at CNS 2007 -
Using non-participant observation to uncover mechanisms: insights from a realist evaluation
(2019-08-08)This article outlines how a realist evaluation of dementia care in hospitals used non-participant observation to support the refinement and testing of mechanisms likely to lead to the use of person-centred care. We found ... -
Using online assessments to enhance student engagement with biological psychology
(The Higher Education Academy, 2012-04)Coursework tasks were introduced for the teaching and assessment of biological psychology modules for cohorts of over 200 Psychology BSc students. Biological psychology is considered “hard” by many psychology students ... -
Using Online Consultations to Facilitate Health and Social Care Delivery During COVID-19: An Interview Study of Care Home Staff
(2023-06-09)Context: During the COVID-19 pandemic, UK care homes rapidly adopted videoconferencing to communicate with health and social care colleagues. Studies show that health and social care professionals adapted well to online ... -
Using parent metaphors for learning about the neonatal care experience: an interpretive perspective
(2019-09-12)This study focuses on how metaphors are used by parents who have had a premature baby to describe their neonatal care experience and how these can contribute to empathic learning of health professionals. In health, metaphors ... -

Using Photo Story for Windows
(2011)A digital Photo Story is a visual medium comprising a series of static images viewed us-ing a package such as Windows Media Player, to which music and/or commentary can be added. The Technology is often described as a means ... -
Using podcasts/audio downloads and an electronic voting system to transform a traditionally delivered module into a blended learning module
(Academic Conferences Ltd., 2007)At the authors‟ institution, blended learning is defined as “educational provision where high quality e-learning opportunities and excellent campus-based learning are combined or blended in coherent, reflective and innovative ... -
Using pre and post-processing methods to improve binding site predictions
(2009)Currently the best algorithms for transcription factor binding site prediction within sequences of regulatory DNA are severely limited in accuracy. In this paper, we integrate 12 original binding site prediction algorithms, ...
