Do differences in dialysis prescription impact on KDOQI bone mineral targets? The Pan Thames Renal Audit
(2010)
Background and Objectives: Patients achieving the Kidney Disease Outcomes Quality Initiative (KDOQI) bone mineral clinical practice guidelines have been reported to have improved survival. Many factors affecting calcium ...
Neutron cross-sections for next generation reactors : New data from n_TOF
(2010)
In 2002, an innovative neutron time-of-flight facility started operation at CERN: n_TOF. The main characteristics that make the new facility unique are the high instantaneous neutron flux, high resolution and wide energy ...
Analysis of Variability in Neonatal Care Units : A Retrospective Analysis
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
The number of babies needing neonatal care is increasing due mainly to technological and therapeutic advances. These advances have implied a decreasing neonatal mortality rate for low birth weight infants and also a falling ...
Learning affordances of consummatory behaviors : motivation-driven adaptive perception
(2010)
This article introduces a formalization of the dynamics between sensorimotor interaction and homeostasis, integrated in a single architecture to learn object affordances of consummatory behaviors. We also describe the ...
The orbital period of V458 Vulpeculae, a post-double common-envelope nova
(2010)
We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy of V458 Vulpeculae (Nova Vul 2007 No. 1) spread over a period of 15 months starting 301 d after its discovery. Our data reveal radial-velocity variations in the He II lambda ...
Residual stresses relaxation caused by pulsed electric current
(2010)
The results of investigations of the influence of the treatment based on a direct passage of pulsed electric current of high density through the simple parts with a copper-composite joint, coatings and a grinded surface ...
Cool dwarfs stars from the Torino Observatory Parallax Program
(2010)
Aims. We investigate and parameterize high proper motion red stars in the Torino Observatory Parallax Program. Methods. Observations of 27 objects were made over the period 1994–2001 on the 1.05 m Torino telescope. The ...
Educating jurors : technology, the Internet and the jury system
(2010)
This paper explores two ways in which the Internet and technology impact upon the jury trial. The first issue concerns jurors' improper use of the Internet to conduct research into the case they are hearing and the improper ...
Boron depletion in 9 to 15 M(circle dot) stars with rotation
(Cambridge University Press, 2010)
The treatment of mixing is still one of the major uncertainties in stellar evolution models. One open question is how well the prescriptions for rotational mixing describe the real effects. We tested the mixing prescriptions ...
Mapping healthcare simulation to Chickering and Gamson’s good education practice principles
(2010)
Background: The use of simulation in undergraduate and postgraduate education, as well as for Continuing Professional Development is increasingly common and it is important to understand how it relates to theories of ...
