Emotion Recognition From Dynamic Emotional Displays in Children With ADHD
(2014-05-01)Children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) often engage in ineffective or inappropriate social interactions and have been shown to be less accurate at interpreting emotions than typically developing ... -
Temperature sensitivity of soil organic matter decomposition in southern and northern areas of the boreal forest zone
(2008-07-01)Much effort has been made to improve understanding of factors controlling the temperature dependence of soil organic matter (SOM) decomposition. The question of how soils formed in different geographical locations and ... -
Leaf litter decomposition-Estimates of global variability based on Yasso07 model
(2009-12-10)Litter decomposition is an important process in the global carbon cycle. It accounts for most of the heterotrophic soil respiration and results in formation of more stable soil organic carbon (SOC) which is the largest ... -
Temperature sensitivity of organic matter decomposition in two boreal forest soil profiles
(2010-01-01)Controversial conclusions from different studies suggest that the decomposition of old soil organic matter (SOM) is either more, less, or equally temperature sensitive compared to the younger SOM. Based on chemical kinetic ... -
Temperature sensitivity of soil carbon fractions in boreal forest soil
(2010-02-01)Feedback to climate warming from the carbon balance of terrestrial ecosystems depends critically on the temperature sensitivity of soil organic carbon (SOC) decomposition. Still, the temperature sensitivity is not known ... -
Transplantation of organic surface horizons of boreal soils into warmer regions alters microbiology but not the temperature sensitivity of decomposition
(2009-12-16)Changes in soil carbon, the largest terrestrial carbon pool, are critical for the global carbon cycle, atmospheric CO2 levels and climate. Climate warming is predicted to be most pronounced in the northern regions and ... -
Decomposition and changes in chemical composition of leaf litter of five dominant tree species in a West African tropical forest
(2014-05)The objective of the research was to study the rate of decomposition and changes in the chemical characteristics in the leaf litter of selected tree species using a litterbag experiment. The decomposition of leaf litter ... -
Use of alcohol hand rub (AHR) at ward entrances and use of soap and AHR by patients and visitors: a study in 27 wards in nine acute NHS trusts
(2011-03-01)Ward procurement of hand hygiene consumables is a proxy measure of hand hygiene compliance. The proportion of this due to use of alcohol hand rub (AHR) at ward entrances, and bedside use of consumables by patients and ... -
Technical note: Assessment of blinding of hand hygiene observers in randomized controlled trials of hand hygiene interventions
(2010-05-01)Trials evaluating interventions to improve health care workers’ hand hygiene compliance use directly observed compliance as a primary outcome measure. Observers should be blinded to the intervention and the effectiveness ... -
The dirty hand in the latex glove.” A study of hand hygiene compliance when gloves are worn.
(2011-12-01)Background and objective. Wearing of gloves reduces transmission of organisms by healthcare workers’ hands but is not a substitute for hand hygiene. Results of previous studies have varied as to whether hand hygiene is ... -
How do osteoporosis patients perceive their illness and treatment? Implications for clinical practice
(2012-12-01)Summary Non-adherence inhibits successful treatment of osteoporosis. This study used a theoretical framework to explore osteoporosis patients' cognitive and emotional representations of their illness and medication, using ... -
Old soil carbon is more temperature sensitive than the young in an agricultural field
(2007-11-01)Changes in the carbon stock of soil in response to climate change would significantly affect the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and consequently climate. The isotopes of carbon provide a means to study the ... -
Heterotrophic soil respiration-Comparison of different models describing its temperature dependence
(2008-02-24)Several models are used to describe the temperature dependence of heterotrophic soil respiration. Six such models are examined here in detail against incubation measurements from different sources. These models are compared ... -
Molecular sieve sampling of CO2 from decomposition of soil organic matter for AMS radiocarbon measurements
(2010-04-01)A molecular sieve based procedure has been established for sampling CO2 of decomposing soil organic matter for AMS radiocarbon measurements. The sampling and desorption lines are capable to produce well measurable (>1 mg) ...
