Oxford Handbook of Nutrition and Dietetics
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-12-22)
Fully updated, the Oxford Handbook of Nutrition and Dietetics, second edition is a practical quick-reference guide to the vital and valued subject of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of disease and the maintenance ...
Ultra steep spectrum radio sources in the Lockman Hole : SERVS identifications and redshift distribution at the faintest radio fluxes
(2011-12-20)
Ultra steep spectrum (USS) radio sources have been successfully used to select powerful radio sources at high redshifts (z greater than or similar to 2). Typically restricted to large-sky surveys and relatively bright radio ...
Neutron measurements for advanced nuclear systems : The n_TOF project at CERN
(2011-12-15)
A few years ago, the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF was built at CERN to address some of the urgent needs of high-accuracy nuclear data for Accelerator Driven Systems and other advanced nuclear energy systems, as ...
Imprinting interference fringes in massive optomechanical systems
(2011-12-13)
An interferometric scheme for the creation of momentum superposition states of mechanical oscillators using a quantum mirror kicked by free photons is analyzed. The scheme features ultrafast preparation with immediate ...
Interaction of Fanaroff-Riley class II radio jets with a randomly magnetized intracluster medium
(2011-12-11)
A combination of 3D magnetohydrodynamics and synthetic numerical simulations are presented to follow the evolution of a randomly magnetized plasma that models the intracluster medium, under the isolated effects of powerful, ...
The stellar-activity-rotation relationship and the evolution of stellar dynamos
(2011-12-10)
We present a sample of 824 solar and late-type stars with X-ray luminosities and rotation periods. This is used to study the relationship between rotation and stellar activity and derive a new estimate of the convective ...
Nanomaterials as antimicrobials
(Wiley, 2011-12-09)
The chapter considered the use of nano-particulate metals and metal oxides as antimicrobial agents that have the potential to provide an additional functionality to polymeric materials.
Identifying depression in South Asian patients with end-stage renal disease : Considerations for practice
(2011-12)
Depression is a prevalent burden for patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and one that is under-recognized and consequently under-treated. Although several studies have explored the association between depression ...
Fitness trade-off in peach-potato aphids (Myzus persicae) between insecticide resistance and vulnerability to parasitoid attack at several spatial scales
(2011-12)
Insecticide-resistant clones of the peach-potato aphid, Myzus persicae (Sulzer), have previously been shown to have a reduced response to aphid alarm pheromone compared to susceptible ones. The resulting vulnerability of ...
Comparison of Raman Lidar Observations of Water Vapor with COSMO-DE Forecasts during COPS 2007
(2011-12)
Water vapor measurements with the multiwavelength Raman lidar Backscatter Extinction Lidar-Ratio Temperature Humidity Profiling Apparatus (BERTHA) were performed during the Convective and Orographically-induced Precipitation ...
