Towards a pain free hospital : an in-depth qualitative analysis of the pain experiences of head and neck cancer patients undergoing radiotherapy
(2016-02-01)
BACKGROUND: Treatment for head and neck cancer can frequently be a painful experience with implications for patients in terms of quality of life, nutrition and ultimately treatment outcomes. Pain may arise for a number of ...
Deep Chandra observations of Pictor A
(2016-02-01)
We report on deep Chandra observations of the nearby broad-line radio galaxy Pictor A, which we combine with new Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations. The new X-ray data have a factor 4 more exposure than ...
Empathy Dysfunction: Deconstructing social functioning in Autism Spectrum Disorders and Conduct Disorder
(Nova Science Publishers, 2016-02-01)
Empathy is a multidimensional construct that can be understood as the ability to be perceptive of and vicariously experience the feelings of other people (affective components of empathy), while at the same time being able ...
Telephone transmission and earwitnesses: performance on voice parades controlled for voice similarity
(2016-02-01)
The effect of telephone transmission on a listener's ability to recognise a speaker in a voice parade is investigated. A hundred listeners (25 per condition) heard 1 of 5 ‘target' voices, then returned a week later for a ...
Fat mass- and obesity-associated genotype, dietary intakes and anthropometric measures in European adults : the Food4Me study
(2016-02)
The interplay between the fat mass- and obesity-associated (FTO) gene variants and diet has been implicated in the development of obesity. The aim of the present analysis was to investigate associations between FTO genotype, ...
Adopting interoperability solutions for online tourism distribution
(2016-02-01)
Purpose – The purpose of this study is to identify the factors that make the adoption of interoperability solutions for online tourism distribution (OTD) more likely by small operators and to develop an evaluation framework ...
Learning to Live with Dragons : Rekindling the Quest to Tame Uncertainty
(Chartered Management Institute, 2016-02)
A nebular analysis of the central Orion nebula with MUSE
(2016-02-01)
A nebular analysis of the central Orion nebula and its main structures is presented. We exploit observations from the integral field spectrograph Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) in the wavelength range 4595–9366 Å ...
High-sensitivity Stokes spectropolarimetry on cyanobacteria
(2016-02-01)
We investigate the spectral signatures arising from the optical properties of chlorophyll in linear and circularly polarised scattered light from cyanobacteria. We include Stokes scattering coefficient measurements on two ...
Star formation in quasar hosts and the origin of radio emission in radio-quiet quasars
(2016-02-01)
Radio emission from radio-quiet quasars may be due to star formation in the quasar host galaxy, to a jet launched by the supermassive black hole, or to relativistic particles accelerated in a wide-angle radiatively driven ...
