Female Barrenness, Bodily Access and Aromatic Treatments in Seventeenth-Century England
(2014-08)
Scholars examining medical practice in early modern England have often remarked upon the complexities of the relationship between male physicians and female patients. It has been noted that ideas of female modesty and ...
Delivering effective nursing care to children and young people outside of a hospital setting
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014-08)
Over the course of the last fifty years, there has been a reduction of approximately 75 per cent in the total number of children’s hospital beds in the United Kingdom [UK]; at the same time, there has been an increase in ...
Tactile Interactions with a Humanoid Robot : Novel Play Scenario Implementations with Children with Autism
(2014-08-01)
The work presented in this paper was part of our investigation in the ROBOSKIN project. The project has developed new robot capabilities based on the tactile feedback provided by novel robotic skin, with the aim to provide ...
Effector-triggered defence against apoplastic fungal pathogens
(2014-08-01)
R gene-mediated host resistance against apoplastic fungal pathogens is not adequately explained by the terms pathogen-associated molecular pattern (PAMP)-triggered immunity (PTI) or effector-triggered immunity (ETI). ...
Herschel-ATLAS: Far-infrared properties of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars
(2014-08-01)
We have constructed a sample of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars from the Faint Images Radio Sky at Twenty-one centimetres and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Data Release 7, over the Herschel-ATLAS Phase 1 area (9h, 12h ...
A surprising consistency between the far-infrared galaxy luminosity functions of the field and Coma
(2014-08-01)
We present new deep images of the Coma Cluster from the ESA Herschel Space Observatory at wavelengths of 70, 100 and 160 μm, covering an area of 1.75 × 1.0 square degrees encompassing the core and south-west infall region. ...
Spatially distributed dendritic resonance selectively filters synaptic input
(2014-08)
An important task performed by a neuron is the selection of relevant inputs from among thousands of synapses impinging on the dendritic tree. Synaptic plasticity enables this by strenghtening a subset of synapses that are, ...
Evaluation of waist-to-height ratio to predict 5 year cardiometabolic risk in sub-Saharan African adults
(2014-08)
Simple, low-cost central obesity measures may help identify individuals with increased cardiometabolic disease risk, although it is unclear which measures perform best in African adults. We aimed to: 1) cross-sectionally ...
Is there a relationship between subacromial impingement syndrome and scapular orientation? A systematic review.
(2014-08-01)
Background Alterations in scapular orientation and dynamic control, specifically involving increased anterior tilt and downward rotation, are considered to play a substantial role in contributing to a subacromial impingement ...
Real-Time Flux Density Measurements of the 2011 Draconid Meteor Outburst
(2014-08)
During the 2011 outburst of the Draconid meteor shower, members of the Video Meteor Network of the International Meteor Organization provided, for the first time, fully automated flux density measurements in the optical ...
