Online Coupled Regional Meteorology Chemistry Models in Europe : Current Status and Prospects
(2014)
Online coupled mesoscale meteorology atmospheric chemistry models have undergone a rapid evolution in recent years. Although mainly developed by the air quality modelling community, these models are also of interest for ...
‘Sorry mate, you’re finishing tonight’ : A historical perspective on employment flexibility in the UK film industry
(2014)
Drawing on archived interview material from 60 participants in the BECTU History Project (BHP) this article considers the nature of employment in the UK Film Industry in the period 1927-1947. Focusing on entry routes, ...
Digoxin net secretory transport in bronchial epithelial cell layers is not exclusively mediated by P-glycoprotein/MDR1
(2014-01)
The impact of P-glycoprotein (MDR1, ABCB1) on drug disposition in the lungs as well as its presence and activity in in vitro respiratory drug absorption models remain controversial to date. Hence, we characterised MDR1 ...
Contact behaviour of composite laminate under quasi-static indentation load
(2014)
A viable solution to the ever-demanding weight-saving target in aerospace industry is the replacement of conventional engineering alloys with composite materials in primary structures. A major concern to the effective use ...
Workforce development and effective evaluation of projects
(2014)
The success of a project or programme is typically determined in relation to outputs. However, there is a commitment among UK public services to spending public funds efficiently and on activities that provide the greatest ...
Action learning : co-creating value from collaborative sustainable projects
(University of Hertfordshire, 2014)
This article reports on the specific role that action learning plays in the promotion of sustainability and innovation in the Local Government sector. The study focuses on one organisation and the efforts of a senior manager ...
Discourses of ‘equivalence’ in HE and notions of student engagement : resisting the neoliberal university
(2014)
There is no shortage of analysis of marketization and the theorizing of the student as consumer/customer and how this impacts on notions of student engagement. This compelling - but largely academic - analysis forms the ...
Physical activity and hypertension in South African adults
(2014)
Estimates suggest that approximately 6-million South Africans have hypertension, with half classified as stage 1 (mild). Mindful of the cost of lifelong drug therapy, the South African Hypertension Society guidelines suggest ...
Polarization Diagnostics for Cool Core Cluster Emission Lines
(2014-01-01)
The nature of the interaction between low-excitation gas filaments at ~104 K, seen in optical line emission, and diffuse X-ray emitting coronal gas at ~107 K in the centers of galaxy clusters remains a puzzle. The presence ...
Multi-object and long-slit spectroscopy of very low mass brown dwarfs in the Orion Nebular Cluster
(2014)
We present the results of an H-and K-band multi-object and long-slit spectroscopic survey of substellar mass candidates in the outer regions of the Orion Nebula Cluster. The spectra were obtained using MOIRCS on the 8.2m ...
