Conservation biological control at the landscape level: measuring and modelling
(IOBC/WPRS, 2010)
The incorporation of landscape management into Conservation Biological Control (CBC) strategies is a priority area of research but is hindered by a lack of harmonisation of the means to describe and measure the effectiveness ...
Spectropolarimetric evidence for a kicked supermassive black hole in the quasar E1821+643
(2010)
We report spectropolarimetric observations of the quasar E1821+643 (z = 0.297), which suggest that it may be an example of gravitational recoil due to anisotropic emission of gravitational waves following the merger of a ...
The thermal and nonthermal effects of high and low doses of pulsed short wave therapy (PSWT)
(2010)
The study aimed to investigate the thermal and non-thermal effects of pulsed short wave therapy (PSWT) using high and low dose of PSWT together with placebo and control conditions in healthy subjects. Method. A single–blind, ...
Dementia, dignity and quality of life : nursing practice and its dilemmas
(2010)
The need for healthcare practitioners to respect the dignity of older people is widely recognised in England, where it has been given attention by politicians, professionals and health service regulators. This article aims ...
The case for e-trust
(2010)
Trust is generally understood as a relationship in which an agent (the trustor) decides to depend on another agent’s (the trustee) foreseeable behaviour in order to fulfil his expectations. It is a fundamental aspect of ...
Search for the coolest white dwarfs in the Galaxy
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2010)
A number of so-called ultra-cool white dwarfs have been detected in different surveys so far. However, based on anecdotal evidence it is believed that most or all of these ultra-cool white dwarfs are low-mass products of ...
Reduction in left supplementary motor area grey matter in adult female fibromyalgia sufferers with marked fatigue and without affective disorder : a pilot controlled 3-T magnetic resonance imaging voxel-based morphometry study
(2010)
This study aimed to test the hypothesis that structural grey matter brain changes might occur in the chronic intractable pain disorder fibromyalgia when this is associated with marked fatigue in the absence of a DSM-IV-TR ...
When life hangs on biosemiosis: tracking expertise in a medical simulation centre
(The Faculty of Philosophy of Braga, Portuguese Catholic University, 2010)
Nanocrystalline diamond as an electronic material : an impedance spectroscopic study and Hall effect measurement study
(2010)
Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) has been grown using a nanodiamond seeding technique, leading to a dense form of this material, with grain sizes around 100 nm. The electrical properties of both intrinsic and lightly boron-doped ...
Erectile dysfunction and coronary artery disease prediction : evidence-based guidance and consensus
(2010)
A significant proportion of men with erectile dysfunction (ED) exhibit early signs of coronary artery disease (CAD), and this group may develop more severe CAD than men without ED (Level 1, Grade A). • The time interval ...
