Dense gas in the Galactic central molecular zone is warm and heated by turbulence
(2016-01-26)
Context. The Galactic center is the closest region where we can study star formation under extreme physical conditions like those in high-redshift galaxies. Aims. We measure the temperature of the dense gas in the central ...
The effects of violence and aggression from parents on child protection workers' personal, family and professional lives
(2016-01-25)
This article presents findings from a survey of the experiences of child protection workers in England when working with parents who exhibit aggression and violence. This work explores the effects on workers in their ...
A Two-dimensional Analytical Model for Prediction of the Radiation Heat Transfer in Open-cell Metal Foams
(2016-01-25)
In this article, a new two-dimensional (2D) explicit analytical model for the evaluation of the radiation heat transfer in highly porous open-cell metal foams is formulated and validated. A correction factor, C, is introduced ...
Shouldering the Burden of Evidence-Based Practice: The Experiences of Physiotherapists Partaking in a Community of Practice.
(2016-01-24)
The study aim was to elicit the motivators, barriers, and benefits of participation in a Community of Practice (CoP) for primary care physiotherapists. We used a qualitative approach using semistructured interviews. The ...
The feasibility of a train-the-trainer approach to end of life care training in care homes: an evaluation
(2016-01-22)
Background: The ABC End of Life Education Programme trained approximately 3000 care home staff in End of Life (EoL) care. An evaluation that compared this programme with the Gold Standards Framework found that it achieved ...
Effectiveness of interventions to directly support food and drink intake in people with dementia : systematic review and meta-analysis
(2016-01-22)
BACKGROUND: Eating and drinking difficulties are recognised sources of ill health in people with dementia. In the EDWINA (Eating and Drinking Well IN dementiA) systematic review we aimed to assess effectiveness of interventions ...
An enhanced merger fraction within the galaxy population of the SSA22 protocluster at z = 3.1
(2016-01-21)
The overdense environments of protoclusters of galaxies in the early Universe (z > 2) are expected to accelerate the evolution of galaxies, with an increased rate of stellar mass assembly and black hole accretion compared ...
Characterisation and application of lactic acid bacteria for tropical silage preparation
(2016-01-21)
Strains TH 14, TH 21 and TH 64 were isolated from tropical silages, namely corn stover, sugar cane top and rice straw, respectively, prepared in Thailand. These strains were selected by low pH growth range and high lactic ...
Economic Analysis of Domestic Combined Heat and Power System in the UK
(2016-01-21)
A combined heat and power (CHP) system is an efficient and clean way to generate power (electricity). Heat produced by the CHP system can be used for water and space heating. The CHP system which uses hydrogen as fuel ...
Ozonesonde profiles from the West Pacific Warm Pool: measurements and validation
(2016-01-20)
We present a series of ozonesonde profiles measured from Manus Island, Papua New Guinea, during February 2014, with new insights on the calibration of ozonesondes for measurements in the tropical troposphere. The experiment ...
