(2001)This paper is a study of examples of visual reasoning from Wittgenstein. There are two key issues. First, to what extent are some lexical concepts predicated on visual examples? Cases of ostensively defined nouns such as ... -
Sustained delivery of salbutamol and beclometasone from spray-dried double emulsions
(2010)The sustained delivery of multiple agents to the lung offers potential benefits to patients. This study explores the preparation of highly respirable dual-loaded spray-dried double emulsions. Spray-dried powders were ... -
Discovery of a new soft gamma repeater: SGR J0418+5729
(2010)On 2009 June 5, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) onboard the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope triggered on two short and relatively dim bursts with spectral properties similar to soft gamma repeater (SGR) bursts. Independent ... -
Characteristics, Behaviors, and Attitudes of Men Bypassing the Healthcare System When Obtaining Phosphodiesterase Type 5 Inhibitors
(2010)Introduction. Men may choose to bypass the healthcare system to obtain a phosphodiesterase type 5 inhibitor (PDE5i). Aim. Evaluate the characteristics and purchasing patterns of men obtaining a PDE5i without prior healthcare ... -
The topical delivery of benzoyl peroxide using elegant dynamic hydrofluoroalkane foams
(2010)Formulating benzoyl peroxide (BPO) in an effective topical product is challenging due to its poor water solubility and chemical instability, but delivering BPO using elegant foams is an attractive solution to this problem. ... -
Renoir and the half life of Impressionism
(2008)This article sets out to examine some of the traditional components of Renoir's practice as a painter. Modernist views of nineteenth century art history have long clouded our vision of many aspects of artistic practice in ... -

(2009)In the last half-century, obesity has constantly increased in Japanese adults except for women of childbearing age who often desire to be thin. Considering the lean composition of Japanese mothers and rather strict ... -
New results on long secondary periods in red giants
(2009)Approximately 30% of variable red giants have light curves which show a Long Secondary Period (LSP) in addition to their primary oscillation. No model has been proposed that can satisfactorily explain the LSPs. Here we ... -
Application of automatic differentiation to race car performance optimisation
(Springer Nature Link, 2002)A formal method for the evaluation of the minimum time vehicle manoeuvre is described. The problem is treated as one of optimal control and is solved using a direct transcription method. The resulting nonlinear programming ... -
Delegation and not-so smart cards
(1999)We consider three aspects of delegation: What kinds of binding are required between real world artifacts and bit patterns? What are the atomic elements of a security policy and in what ways must they fit together? What are ... -
Pictures Can’t Lie under Oath
(2000)Because image manipulation by computer is so easy, it is hard to be sure that an image was indeed created at the date, time and place claimed, and that it has not been altered since. To gain this confidence requires a ... -
Galaxy Zoo: the fundamentally different co-evolution of supermassive black holes and their early- and late-type host galaxies
(2010)We use data from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey and visual classifications of morphology from the Galaxy Zoo project to study black hole growth in the nearby universe (z < 0.05) and to break down the active galactic nucleus ... -
In Memoriam : On Bereavement and the Work of Mourning
(2009)In Memoriam is an elegy in the tradition of such great precedents as ‘Lycidas’ or ‘Adonais’. However, just as it incorporates the new worlds of scientific geology and evolutionary biology so, it is suggested, the poem ... -
CT response assessment combining reduction in both size and arterial phase density correlates with time to progression in metastatic renal cancer patients treated with targeted therapies
(2010)Background: Response assessment is critical in evaluating effectiveness of anticancer treatment. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) are associated with significant clinical benefit but may not ... -
Switching stable patients with schizophrenia from depot and oral antipsychotics to long-acting injectable risperidone : reasons for switching and safety
(2010)Objective: An international, non-randomised study evaluated efficacy and safety of risperidone long-acting injectable (RLAI) compared to previous treatment. To investigate generisability of the European data set to the UK ... -
Mid-infrared photometry of cold brown dwarfs : diversity in age, mass and metallicity
(2010)We present new Spitzer Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) photometry of 12 very late-type T dwarfs: nine have [3.6], [4.5], [5.8], and [8.0] photometry and three have [3.6] and [4.5] photometry only. Combining this with previously ...
