Pandemic influenza control in Europe and the constraints resulting from incoherent public health laws
(2010)
Background: With the emergence of influenza H1N1v the world is facing its first 21st century global pandemic. Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) and avian influenza H5N1 prompted development of pandemic preparedness ...
Human-centred design methods : developing scenarios for robot assisted play informed by user panels and field trials
(2010)
This article describes the user-centred development of play scenarios for robot assisted play, as part of the multidisciplinary IROMEC1 project that develops a novel robotic toy for children with special needs. The project ...
Design, Commissioning and Control System of a Hybrid Rocket Test Cell
(AIAA, 2010)
A rocket-motor test cell, capable of carrying out instrumented firings of hybrid and composite motors of up to 5kN (1100lb) thrust and up to 8 feet in length, has been installed at the University of Hertfordshire, UK. The ...
Dea et Luna
(University of Hertfordshire, 2010)
The soundtrack to Dea et Luna marks a departure from the conventional approach in which music and foley constitute two separate strands occupying two distinct planes (typically, music as non-diegetic underscore, versus ...
Convergence of of corporate finance patterns in Europe
(2010)
We investigate the pattern of corporate financing through bank loans, bond markets and stock markets in the European Union (EU). Specifically, we examine whether the European economies are converging towards a market-oriented ...

(2010)
Bullying is widespread in European schools, despite multiple intervention strategies having been proposed over the years. The present study investigates the effects of a novel virtual learning strategy (“FearNot!”) to ...
Magnetar twists: Fermi/Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor detection of SGR J1550-5418
(2010)
SGR J1550-5418 (previously known as AXP 1E 1547.0-5408 or PSR J1550-5418) went into three active bursting episodes in 2008 October and in 2009 January and March, emitting hundreds of typical soft gamma repeater bursts in ...
The hard x-ray view of reflection, absorption and the disk-jet connection in the radio-loud AGN 3C 33
(2010)
We present results from Suzaku and Swift observations of the nearby radio galaxy 3C 33, and investigate the nature of absorption, reflection, and jet production in this source. We model the 0.5-100 keV nuclear continuum ...
