Online dietary intake estimation : Reproducibility and validity of the Food4Me food frequency questionnaire against a 4-day weighed food record
(2014-08-11)
Background: Advances in nutritional assessment are continuing to embrace developments in computer technology. The online Food4Me food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was created as an electronic system for the collection of ...
STEP: the VST survey of the SMC and the Magellanic Bridge - I : Overview and first results
(2014-08-11)
STEP (the SMC in Time: Evolution of a Prototype interacting late-type dwarf galaxy) is a Guaranteed Time Observation survey being performed at the VST (the ESO VLT Survey Telescope). STEP will image an area of 74 sq. deg. ...
Seeding black holes in cosmological simulations
(2014-08-11)
We present a new model for the formation of black holes in cosmological simulations, motivated by the first star formation. Black holes form from high density peaks of primordial gas, and grow via both gas accretion and ...
Some like it cold: molecular emission and effective dust temperatures of dense cores in the Pipe Nebula
(2014-08-08)
Aims. The Pipe Nebula is characterized by a low star-formation rate and is therefore an ideal environment to explore how initial conditions, including core characteristics, affect star-formation efficiencies. Methods. In ...
Reconciling aerosol light extinction measurements from spaceborne lidar observations and in situ measurements in the Arctic
(2014-08-08)
In this study we investigate to what degree it is possible to reconcile continuously recorded particle light extinction coefficients derived from dry in situ measurements at Zeppelin station (78.92° N, 11.85° E; 475 m above ...
Characterising superclusters with the galaxy cluster distribution
(2014-08-05)
Superclusters are the largest observed matter density structures in the Universe. Recently, we presented the first supercluster catalogue constructed with a well-defined selection function based on the X-ray flux-limited ...
GJ 832c : A super-earth in the habitable zone
(2014-08-05)
We report the detection of GJ 832c, a super-Earth orbiting near the inner edge of the habitable zone of GJ 832, an M dwarf previously known to host a Jupiter analog in a nearly circular 9.4 yr orbit. The combination of ...
Painting as “information”? : Globalisation and Abstract Art
(Universidade Católica Editora, 2014-08-04)
A common belief regarding globalisation is that it is driven by ‘information’. For Maurice Castells (1996) the primary vehicles of networked information were the internet and the media. This paper sets out to explore whether ...
Novel Ylidic Phosphoryl Compounds from Halogenated Furan-2,5-Diones with Trivalent Phosphorus Esters: Application of this Approach to New Trisphosphonates Containing a Geminal Bisphosphonate Unit
(2014-08-03)
The reactions of trivalent phosphorus esters, including trialkyl phosphites, dialkyl phosphonites, and alkyl phosphinites, with 3-halo- and 3,4-dihalo-furan-2,5-diones has been shown to lead to the formation of novel ...
