Design Parameters in Multimodal Games for Rehabilitation
(2014-02)
Objectives: The repetitive and sometimes mundane nature of conventional rehabilitation therapy provides an ideal opportunity for development of interactive and challenging therapeutic games that have the potential to engage ...
The VMC survey - IX : Pilot study of the proper motion of stellar populations in the LMC from 2MASS and VISTA data
(2014-02)
Proper motion (PM) studies are fundamental ingredients in the understanding of the orbital history of galaxies. Current measurements do not yet provide a satisfactory answer to the possible scenarios for the formation and ...
Transformation and crisis in Central and Eastern Europe : a combined and uneven development perspective
(2014-02-01)
This article elaborates a theory of combined and uneven development that takes the dimensions of spatiality, labour and institutions seriously. Drawing on this conceptual framework, an account is given of the way the ...
Application of a theoretical framework for behaviour change: Examining hospital workers real-time explanations for their non-compliance with hand hygiene guidelines
(2014-02-01)

Panpsychism harbors an unresolved tension, the seriousness of which has yet to be fully appreciated. I capture this tension as a dilemma, and offer panpsychists advice on how to resolve it. The dilemma, briefly, is as ...
The preparation and tribological properties of surface modified zinc borate ultrafine powder as a lubricant additive in liquid paraffin
(2014-02-01)
This paper investigates the effects of surface modification of zinc borate ultrafine powders (ZB UFPs) on their tribological properties as lubricant additives in liquid paraffin (LP). ZB UFPs were successfully modified by ...
The mass-metallicity relation at z 1.4 revealed with Subaru/FMOS
(2014-02-01)
We present a stellar mass-metallicity relation at z ~ 1.4 with an unprecedentedly large sample of ~340 star-forming galaxies obtained with FibreMulti-Object Spectrograph (FMOS) on the Subaru Telescope. We observed K-band ...
A 1500 deg(2) near infrared proper motion catalogue from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey
(2014-02)
The United Kingdom Infrared Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS) Large Area Survey (LAS) began in 2005, with the start of the UKIDSS programme as a 7 year effort to survey roughly 4000 deg(2) at high Galactic latitudes in Y, J, H and ...
Competition and Conflict : Union Growth in the US Hospital Industry
(2014-02)
The combination of the changes in the US hospital industry and resulting pressures on the workforce with the relative immobility of hospitals has led to the growth of unions in this industry while unions are losing members ...
