Differences between the sexes in knee kinetics during landing from volleyball block jumps
(2010)
The aim of the study was to assess frontal and sagittal plane kinetics (normalized ground reaction force and normalized knee moment) in male and female university volleyball players when performing opposed block jump ...
Reconciliation of measurements of hygroscopic growth and critical supersaturation of aerosol particles in central Germany
(2010)
Aerosol physical, chemical and hygroscopic properties were measured in a range of airmasses during COPS (Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation Study) ground-based in June and July of 2007 at the Hornisgrinde ...
Hot subdwarf stars in close-up view. I. Rotational properties of subdwarf B stars in close binary systems and nature of their unseen companions
(2010)
The origin of hot subdwarf B stars (sdBs) is still unclear. About half of the known sdBs are in close binary systems for which common envelope ejection is the most likely formation channel. Little is known about this dynamic ...
The neuropsychology of the schizo-obsessive subtype of schizophrenia : a new analysis
(2010)
Background : Interest in the neuro-cognitive profile of patients with schizophrenia and co-morbid obsessive compulsive disorder (schizo-OCD) is rising in response to reports of high co-morbidity rates. Whereas schizophrenia ...
IPHAS and the symbiotic stars. II. New discoveries and a sample of the most common mimics
(2010)
Context. Knowledge of the total population of symbiotic stars in the Galaxy is important for understanding basic aspects of stellar evolution in interacting binaries and the relevance of this class of objects in the formation ...
Multi-Channel Patterning of Antibodies on a Sensor Surface for Simultaneous Detection of Pathogens and Toxins
(2010)
This poster describes the development of a micro-engineered, PDMS/PMMA composite patterning device for the flow immobilisation of up to 16 separate antibody stripes on a single sensor chip surface. Results for a preliminary ...
“Does it work?” A framework to evaluate the effectiveness of a robotic toy for children with special needs
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)
To evaluate the performance of a social robot, both the aspects of safety and technical efficiency as well as the effectiveness of the interaction with the robot from the users' points of view need to be considered. The ...
Leadership: The ghost at the trillion dollar crash?
(2010)
Leadership has been largely overlooked by bankers, regulators, policy-makers and scholars trying to discern the cause of the global financial crisis. The paper suggests that this is odd, given the attention (both theoretical ...
Broadening options for long-term dialysis in the elderly (BOLDE) : differences in quality of life on peritoneal dialysis compared to haemodialysis for older patients
(2010)
Background. Health-related quality of life (QOL) is an important outcome for older people who are often on dialysis for life. Little is, however, known about differences in QOL on haemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis ...
Verbalization and problem solving: insight and spatial factors
(2010)
Two groups of participants attempted eight examples of each of four different problem types formed by combining insight v. non-insight and verbal v. spatial factors. The groups were given different verbalization instructions ...
