Oxford Handbook of Nutrition and Dietetics
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2011-12-22)
Fully updated, the Oxford Handbook of Nutrition and Dietetics, second edition is a practical quick-reference guide to the vital and valued subject of nutrition in the prevention and treatment of disease and the maintenance ...
Ultra steep spectrum radio sources in the Lockman Hole : SERVS identifications and redshift distribution at the faintest radio fluxes
(2011-12-20)
Ultra steep spectrum (USS) radio sources have been successfully used to select powerful radio sources at high redshifts (z greater than or similar to 2). Typically restricted to large-sky surveys and relatively bright radio ...
Neutron measurements for advanced nuclear systems : The n_TOF project at CERN
(2011-12-15)
A few years ago, the neutron time-of-flight facility n_TOF was built at CERN to address some of the urgent needs of high-accuracy nuclear data for Accelerator Driven Systems and other advanced nuclear energy systems, as ...
Imprinting interference fringes in massive optomechanical systems
(2011-12-13)
An interferometric scheme for the creation of momentum superposition states of mechanical oscillators using a quantum mirror kicked by free photons is analyzed. The scheme features ultrafast preparation with immediate ...
Interaction of Fanaroff-Riley class II radio jets with a randomly magnetized intracluster medium
(2011-12-11)
A combination of 3D magnetohydrodynamics and synthetic numerical simulations are presented to follow the evolution of a randomly magnetized plasma that models the intracluster medium, under the isolated effects of powerful, ...
The stellar-activity-rotation relationship and the evolution of stellar dynamos
(2011-12-10)
We present a sample of 824 solar and late-type stars with X-ray luminosities and rotation periods. This is used to study the relationship between rotation and stellar activity and derive a new estimate of the convective ...
Home haemodialysis : trends in technology
(2011-12-01)
Self management and home-based dialysis therapies offer the prospect of improved patient experience and outcomes. To allow more patients to realize these benefits requires changes in technology which focus on maximizing ...
Mechanisms responsible for the build-up of ozone over South East England during the August 2003 heatwave
(2011-12-01)
The Community Multiscale Air Quality (CMAQ) model is used in order to quantify reasons for the build-up of ozone over South East England during the August 2003 heatwave. Unlike previous studies, the effects of individual ...
Focus on exposure to air pollution and related health impacts
(2011-12-01)
Outdoor and indoor air pollution was recently identified as a key contributor to the environmental burden of disease in European countries (EBoDE Working Group 2011). Due to the time-activity profiles of contemporary ...
An integrated air quality forecast system for a metropolitan area
(2011-12-01)
Air quality forecasting is an important issue in environmental research, due to the effects that air pollutants have on population health. To deal with this topic, in this work an integrated modelling system has been ...
