Correlation between the corrosion resistance and the hardness scattering of structural metals treated with a pulsed electric current
(2010)
The results of corrosion tests of two kinds of structural metals initially treated by a pulsed electric current of high density are presented. According to the data obtained, the treatment influences the corrosion of metals. ...

Astrophysical Reaction Rates as a Challenge for Nuclear Reaction Theory
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2010)
The relevant energy ranges for stellar nuclear reactions are introduced. Low-energy compound and direct reactions are discussed. Stellar modifications of the cross sections are presented. Implications for experiments are outlined.
New forms of work : new occupational identities
(University of Toronto Press, 2010)
This essay looks at the impacts of the restructuring of global value chains on skills, occupational identities, class position and class consciousness. The codification of tacit knowledge and standardisation of work processes ...
Pressure ulcers and incontinence-associated dermatitis : effectiveness of the pressure ulcer classification education tool on classification by nurses
(2010)
Context : Previous studies report that pressure ulcer classification and differentiation from incontinence associated dermatitis are difficult. Incorrect classification and differentiation result in incorrect prevention ...
Can Family Outdoor and Countryside Recreation Help Reconnect Children with the Outdoors? : Affluent Middle Childhood Perspectives of Countryside Recreation in the United Kingdom
(2010)
Extant research shows that despite the benefits of contact with nature, children are increasingly becoming disengaged from the outdoors. This study aimed to examine affluent children’s and mothers’ perspectives of countryside ...
Developing a dyadic OPTION scale to measure perceptions of shared decision making
(2010)
Our aim was to develop a measurement which enables research into the interdependent nature of clinical encounters. The prime objective was to develop an instrument capable of assessing the extent to which patients have ...
Fearful asymmetry : Kierkegaard’s search for the direction of time
(2010)
The ancient problem of whether our asymmetrical attitudes towards time are justified (or normatively required) remains a live one in contemporary philosophy. Drawing on themes in the work of McTaggart, Parfit, and Heidegger, ...
Evidence for both inverse agonism at the cannabinoid CB1 receptor and the lack of an endogenous cannabinoid tone in the rat and guinea-pig isolated ileum myenteric plexus-longitudinal muscle preparation
(2010)
Background and purpose: Cannabinoid receptor agonists reduce intestinal propulsion in rodents through the CB1 receptor. In addition to its antagonistic activity at this receptor, rimonabant (N-(piperidino)-5-(4-chlorophe ...
