The World Health Organization Engaging with Civil Society Networks to Promote Primary Health Care : A Case Study
(2012-12-31)
Engagement between the World Health Organization (WHO) and civil society organizations (CSOs), gains importance as CSOs increase their contribution to public health; particularly to primary health care. To better engage ...
A New Song : [for two choirs and soloists]
(2012-12-23)
A New Song is a choral work commissioned by Christ Church Cathedral Choir, Oxford [‘One of the finest choirs on earth’ – Channel 4; ‘To hear a choir like this is to hear a quality of musicianship with no equal anywhere in ...
A new connection between the jet opening angle and the large-scale morphology of extragalactic radio sources
(2012-12-21)
In the case of an initially conical jet, we study the relation between jet collimation by the external pressure and large-scale morphology. We first consider the important length-scales in the problem, and then carry out ...
Vesiclepedia : a compendium for extracellular vesicles with continuous community annotation
(2012-12-18)
Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membraneous vesicles released by a variety of cells into their microenvironment. Recent studies have elucidated the role of EVs in intercellular communication, pathogenesis, drug, vaccine ...
The Yasso07 soil carbon model - Testing against repeated soil carbon inventory
(2012-12-15)
Forest soils store large amounts of carbon (C), and releases of C from this pool may significantly increase the CO 2 concentration in the atmosphere. Organic matter decomposition in soils has been shown to strongly depend ...
Star formation in high-redshift quasars : Excess [Oii] emission in the radio-loud population
(2012-12-11)
We investigate the [O ii] emission-line properties of 18 508 quasars at z < 1.6 drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) quasar sample. The quasar sample has been separated into 1692 radio-loud and 16 816 radio-quiet ...
Photometrically derived masses and radii of the planet and star in the TrES-2 system
(2012-12-10)
We measure the mass and radius of the star and planet in the TrES-2 system using 2.7 years of observations by the Kepler spacecraft. The light curve shows evidence for ellipsoidal variations and Doppler beaming on a period ...
Quality of Life and Survival in Patients with Advanced Kidney Failure Managed Conservatively or by Dialysis
(2012-12-07)
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Benefits of dialysis in elderly dependent patients are not clearcut. Some patients forego dialysis, opting for conservative kidney management (CKM). This study prospectively compared quality of ...
High-Density, High-Resolution, Low-Cost Air Quality Sensor Networks for Urban Air Monitoring. The SNAQ Heathrow Project
(2012-12-07)
Monitoring air quality in highly granular environments such as urban areas which are spatially heterogeneous with variable emission sources, measurements need to be made at appropriate spatial and temporal scales. Current ...
