On the formation of massive galaxies : A simultaneous study of number density, size and intrinsic colour evolution in GOODS
(2009-07-01)
The evolution of number density, size and intrinsic colour is determined for a volume-limited sample of visually classified early-type galaxies selected from the Hubble Space Telescope/Advanced Camera for Surveys images ...
On multi-objective optimization of geometry of staggered herringbone micromixer
(2009-07)
A design methodology for micromixers is presented which systematically integrates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with an optimization methodology based on the use of design of experiments (DOE), function approximation ...
The ethical foundation of critical pedagogy in contemporary academia: (self)-reflection and complicity in the process of teaching
(2009-07-01)
In this paper an ethical approach to educational methodology is discussed in relation to the philosophies of Emanuel Levinas and Robert Cox. Cox's anti-essentialist understanding of historical materialism and Levinas' ...
Developing a 'fit' attitude in Primary School Children : How do children regard Physical Education in the primary school and how might affect policy, practice and research?
(2009-07-01)
Much has changed in the last twenty years in the UK with regard to attitudes towards children’s health and fitness. We now have a government which is referring ‘child obesity’ using the medical terminology ‘epidemic'. The ...
Correlation loss and multipartite entanglement across a black hole horizon
(2009-07)
We investigate the Hawking effect on entangled fields. By considering a scalar field which is in a two-mode squeezed state from the point of view of freely falling (Kruskal) observers crossing the horizon of a Schwarzschild ...
Induction of the cytoprotective enzyme heme oxygenase-1 by statins is enhanced in vascular endothelium exposed to laminar shear stress and impaired by disturbed flow
(2009-07)
In addition to cholesterol-lowering properties, statins exhibit lipid-independent immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory actions. However, high concentrations are typically required to induce these effects in vitro, raising ...
Engineering novel topical foams using hydrofluroalkane emulsions stabilised with pluronic surfactants
(2009-06-28)
Aesthetics are very important for topical products and as a consequence elegant vehicles such as sprays and foams are often preferred by patients. Pressurised systems are ideal to dose foams, however, as so little is known ...
Concurrent growth rate and transcript analyses reveal essential gene stringency in Escherichia coli
(2009-06-26)
BACKGROUND: Genes essential for bacterial growth are of particular scientific interest. Many putative essential genes have been identified or predicted in several species, however, little is known about gene expression ...
