Benchmark low-mass objects in Moving Groups
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
In order to compile a sample of ultracool dwarfs that will serve as benchmarks for testing theoretical formation and evolutionary models, we selected low-mass cool (>M7) objects that are potentially members of five known ...
Occurrence of refeeding syndrome in adults started on artificial nutrition support: prospective cohort study
(2013)
Refeeding syndrome is a potentially life-threatening condition characterised by severe intracellular electrolyte shifts, acute circulatory fluid overload and organ failure. The initial symptoms are non-specific but early ...
An ethnographic exploration of knowledge practices within the Queensland Music Festival
(2013)
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the utilisation and application of reflexive ethnography as an interpretative methodology for researching knowledge practices within festival organisations. Design/method ...
Linear Support Vector Machines for Error Correction in Optical Data Transmission
(Springer Nature, 2013)
Reduction of bit error rates in optical transmission systems is an important task that is difficult to achieve. As speeds increase, the difficulty in reducing bit error rates also increases. Channels have differing ...
Evaluation of antimicrobial activity of ceftaroline against Clostridium difficile and propensity to induce C. difficile infection in an in vitro human gut model
(2013)
OBJECTIVES: To examine the effects of exposure to ceftaroline or ceftriaxone on the epidemic Clostridium difficile strain PCR ribotype 027 and the indigenous gut microflora in an in vitro human gut model. Additionally, the ...
Mixed infection by Clostridium difficile in an in vitro model of the human gut
(2013)
OBJECTIVES: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is still a major clinical challenge. Previous studies have demonstrated multiple distinct C. difficile strains in the faeces of patients with CDI; yet whether true mixed ...
The Most Metal-poor Stars. I : Discovery, Data and Atmospheric Parameters
(2013-01)
We report the discovery of 34 stars in the Hamburg/ESO Survey for metal-poor stars and the Sloan Digital Sky Survey that have [Fe/H] <~ -3.0. Their median and minimum abundances are [Fe/H] = -3.1 and -4.1, respectively, ...
Measuring ultracool properties from the UKIDSS Large Area Survey
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
We discuss the properties and of ultracool and brown dwarfs that can be measured from current large area surveys and how fundamental parameters, such as the mass function and formation history can be measured, describing ...
A confirmatory factor analysis and validation of the forms of self-criticism/reassurance scale
(2013)
Objective: Several studies have used the Forms of Self-Criticism/Reassurance Scale (FSCRS; Gilbert, Clarke, Hempel, Miles, & Irons, 2004) when exploring the role of emotion regulation in psychopathology. However, psychometric ...
Purple dwarfs : New L subdwarfs from UKIDSS and SDSS
(EDP Sciences, 2013)
The first L subdwarf was a discovered only ten years ago. Less than ten L subdwarfs been published in the literature to date. Metal-poor ultracool atmospheres has not been well understood. Halo mass function cross substellar ...
