A systematic review of qualitative research on the contributory factors leading to medicine-related problems from the perspectives of adult patients with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes mellitus
(2014-09-19)
Objectives: To synthesise contributing factors leading to medicine-related problems (MRPs) in adult patients with cardiovascular diseases and/or diabetes mellitus from their perspectives. Design: A systematic literature ...
Multi-walled carbon nanotube inhibits CA1 glutamatergic synaptic transmission in rat's hippocampal slices
(2014-09-17)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the neurotoxic effect of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on the properties of glutamatergic synaptic transmission in rat's hippocampal slices using whole-cell patch clamp ...
Associations between physical activity in adolescence and health behaviours, well-being, family and social relations.
(2014-09-16)
Across Europe and North America, few young people meet the recommended levels of physical activity (PA) of 1 hour of moderate to vigorous PA per day. However, the lives of young people cannot simply be polarised as either ...
Improving patient education on pressure ulcers
(2014-09-16)
Pressure damage is a commonly encountered harm that can have significant impact on patients, carers and healthcare providers. Preventing the occurrence of pressure damage requires a multipronged approach of which patient ...
Ingredients for the specification of mixed-criticality real-time systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-09-15)
Models for real-time computing are available with different timing requirements. With the ongoing trend towards integration of services of different degrees of timing strictness on one single platform, there is a need to ...
Numerical modelling of the lobes of radio galaxies in cluster environments II : Magnetic field configuration and observability
(2014-09-11)
We describe three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamical modelling of powerful radio galaxies in realistic poor cluster environments. This modelling extends our earlier work on the hydrodynamics of radio galaxies as a function ...
ATLASGAL - towards a complete sample of massive star forming clumps
(2014-09-11)
By matching infrared-selected, massive young stellar objects (MYSOs) and compact HII regions in the Red MSX Source survey to massive clumps found in the submillimetre ATLASGAL (APEX Telescope Large Area Survey of the Galaxy) ...
The role of major mergers in the size growth of intermediate-mass spheroids
(2014-09-11)
We study of the role of ‘major’ mergers (mass ratios >1: 4) in driving size growth in high-redshift (1 < z < 2) spheroidal galaxies (SGs) with stellar masses between 109.5 and 1010.7 M⊙. This is a largely unexplored mass ...
Measurement and analysis of the Am 243 neutron capture cross section at the n-TOF facility at CERN
(2014-09-11)
Background: The design of new nuclear reactors and transmutation devices requires to reduce the present neutron cross section uncertainties of minor actinides. Purpose: Improvement of the Am243(n,γ) cross section uncertainty. ...
