Precision radial velocities in the infrared
(2009)Over 250 extra-solar planets have been discovered to date using a variety of techniques. The majority have been discovered at optical wavelengths from the Doppler shift of F, G and K stars induced by orbiting planets. We ... -
Neuropsychological characteristics of adults with comorbid ADHD and borderline/mild intellectual disability
(2009)This study aimed to characterise the neuropsychological functioning of adults with comorbid attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and intellectual disability. Individuals with ADHD and mild-borderline range ... -
Introducing phase tracing into a computational method which combines ray-tracing with diffraction on facets.
(University of Bremen, 2005)The viability of introducing phase tracing into our ray tracing with diffraction on facets model is investigated. In order to prove the method, Monte Carlo ray-tracing results for a slit, based on our diffraction formula ... -
An automated individual feedback and marking system : an empirical study
(2011)The recent National Students Survey showed that feedback to students was an ongoing problem in Higher Education. This paper reports on the extension of our past research into the provision of automated feedback for objective ... -
High sensitivity polarimetry : techniques and applications
(Springer Nature, 2010)High sensitivity polarimetry will refer to fractional polarizations of below, and often significantly below, 103. Measuring low fractional polarization requires a large number of photons and also special techniques are ... -
Polarimetry research at the University of Florida
(2004)The advent of large ( or larger) telescopes along with the new breed of mid-IR instrumentation opens a new window to diffraction-limited investigations of the nature of faint or crowded field astronomical objects at mid-IR ... -
Cytokine mRNA expression in cattle infected with different dosages of Mycobacterium bovis
(2008)Cytokine mRNA expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, i.e., interferon-gamma (IFN-γ), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory cytokines, i.e., interleukin-4 (IL-4), interleukin-10 (IL-10) was quantified ... -
The effect of ventilation aperture location of input airflow rates on the stratified flow
(2008)The distribution of the stratified flow along and across the flow direction was investigated. The effect of input airflow rates on the stratified flow was conducted. Also both effects of hot and cold airflow rate variations ... -
Stochastic protein folding simulation in the three-dimensional HP-model
(2008)We present results from three-dimensional protein folding simulations in the HP-model on ten benchmark problems. The simulations are executed by a simulated annealing-based algorithm with a time-dependent cooling schedule. ... -
Data-fused method of fault diagnosis for analog circuits
(2009)A data-fused fault diagnosis method based on wavelet packet decomposition of voltages of test nodes and current signals of the terminals stimulated is proposed in the paper. For the faults difficult to detect merely from ... -
The complexation between novel comb shaped amphiphilic polyallylamine and insulin : towards oral insulin delivery
(2009)Novel amphiphilic polyallylamine (PAA) were previously synthesised by randomly grafting palmitoyl pendant groups and subsequent quaternising with methyl iodide. The ability of these self-assembled polymers to spontaneously ... -
An experimental and computational study of the aerodynamic and passive ventilation characteristics of small livestock trailers
(2009)This paper presents a combined experimental and computational study of the aerodynamics and passive ventilation characteristics of small livestock trailers within which the majority of animals in the United Kingdom are ... -
Beyond the screen : visualizing visits to a website as an experience in physical space
(2009)This article describes an applied investigation into a concept of information visualization where data are not rendered as graphs, charts or diagrams on the screen but as a sensual experience beyond the screen in physical ... -
Hypermobility and the hypermobility syndrome, Part 2 : assessment and management of hypermobility syndrome : illustrated via case studies
(2008)Joint hypermobility syndrome (JHS) is a largely under-recognised and poorly understood multi-systemic hereditary connective tissue disorder which manifests in a variety of different clinical presentations. The assessment ... -
An investigation of stability of a control surface with structural nonlinearities in supersonic flow using Zubov's method
(2009-08-07)It is well known that the presence of nonlinearities may significantly affect the aeroelastic response of an aerospace vehicle structure. In this paper, the aeroelastic behaviour at high Mach numbers of an all-moving control ... -
Visual processing in Alzheimer's disease : surface detail and colour fail to aid object identification
(2009)It has been suggested that object recognition in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) may be strongly influenced both by image format (e.g. colour vs. line-drawn) and by low-level visual impairments. To examine these ... -
Smith and Keenan's company law
(Longman, 2009)This text is a clear and practical guide to company law that aids students to apply law to an everyday context. It draws on the Companies Act 2006 and is clear enough for use by undergraduates. It covers topics including ... -
Haemostatic changes in the puerperium '6 weeks postpartum' (HIP Study) — implication for maternal thromboembolism
(2009)Objective : We aim to measure the thrombotic changes during the postnatal period up to 6 weeks after delivery and assess the extent of the risk period. Design : Prospective observational study. Setting : Queen Elizabeth ... -
A feasibility study of mindfulness-based cognitive therapy for individuals with borderline personality disorder
(2011)Design : The design of the study was a repeated measures, quasi-experimental design employing within-subject and between-subject comparisons of a sample of participants with BPD. Based on previous studies and theoretical ... -
Evaluating the usability of developing countries' e-government sites : a user perspective
(2009)Government websites of developing countries are pertinent since they are part of the e-government efforts occurring on a global scale. The aim of this research is to investigate the usability issues of government web portals ...
