Circumnuclear Star-forming Regions in barred Galaxies
(1999)We present high-resolution Hα velocity fields and rotation curves of the circum nuclear star-forming regions of five barred galaxies. Two of the five objects show substantially smaller initial rises than the three others; ... -
Circumnuclear Star Formation in M100
(2001)Near-infrared (JHK) images of the nucleus of the barred spiral galaxy M100 (NGC 4321) have been obtained using a high-bandwidth tip-tilt secondary and fast guider system on the 3.8 m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope ... -
Grand-design spirals in the core of NGC 5248
(2001)We report the detection of a bisymmetric nuclear spiral structure in the spiral galaxy NGC 5248.The two red spiral arms can be followed for about 3 arcsec, before they appear to end inside the radius of the circumnuclear ... -
Arm and Interarm star formation in spiral galaxies
(2001)We present an outline of our study of the effects of star formation on the different components of the interstellar medium in the discs of spiral galaxies, both globally and as a function of arm and interarm environment. ... -
Circumnuclear Regions and their Barred Host Galaxies
(2001)In this paper we present first results from an observational study of the connection between the global parameters of barred galaxies and the appearance of structures, such as dust lanes and star-forming rings in their ... -
Gravitationally induced inflow in Starbursts and Agn
(2005)There is considerable evidence that the circumnuclear regions of galaxies are intimately related to their host galaxies, most directly through their bars. There is also convincing evidence for relations between the properties ... -
Stellar and Gas Kinematics in the core and bar regions of M100
(2005)Two-dimensional maps of the stellar and gas kinematics of the bar and starbursting circumnuclear region in the barred spiral galaxy M100 are presented. In this progress report, we present maps of the total intensity, mean ... -
At least they're learning something : the hazy line between collusion and collaboration
(2005)This paper reports the results of a study which investigated whether there is a common understanding of the terms plagiarism and collusion between students and staff. Participants made judgements on scenarios describing ... -
Barred galaxies : Stars and Bars
(2005)Bars are prominent features that occur in most disc galaxies and have important dynamical effects on their hosts. This paper describes some of the known properties of bars, illustrating the discussion with images that show ... -
The Exercise of Public Health Powers in an era of Human Rights : the particular problem of tuberculosis
(2004)Public health legislation provides powers of removal to hospital and detention in circumstances where a patient with active, infectious tuberculosis (TB) is unwilling to comply with the recommended treatment programme. ... -
A randomised controlled trial of maternal satisfaction with the routine examination of the newborn baby at three months postbirth
(2002)Objective: to determine whether any differences in maternal satisfaction with the examination of a newborn baby between midwives and junior paediatricians are maintained over a three-month period. Design, setting and ... -
Increased 24-h Energy Expenditure in Type 2 Diabetes
(2004)The aim of this study was to determine whether overweight and obese individuals with type 2 diabetes have higher basal and 24-h energy expenditure compared with healthy control subjects before and after adjustment for body ... -
A combined heart rate and movement sensor: proof of concept and preliminary testing study
(2000)Heart rate monitoring has previously been used as a technique for measuring energy expenditure (EE) in field studies. However, the combination of heart rate monitoring with movement sensoring could have theoretical advantages ... -
Quantifying the association between habitual energy expenditure and blood pressure
(2000)Previous studies have demonstrated an association between physical inactivity and hypertension, but the methods used to assess activity have been subjective and imprecise. Recently methods have become available allowing ... -
Can Self-Reported Dieting and Dietary Restraint Identify Underreporters of Energy Intake in Dietary Surveys?
(2006)Underreporting is endemic in most dietary studies and ways to reliably identify individuals who may underreport energy intake are needed. Whether questions on self-reported dieting and dietary restraint, in addition to ... -
Differences in bone mineral status between urban and rural Chinese men and women
(2007)Background: Few studies have investigated differences in bone health and associated lifestyle factors between urban and rural populations in countries, such as China, undergoing rapid nutrition transition. Such a study may ... -
Positive, site-specific associations between bone mineral status, fitness, and time spent at high-impact activities in 16- to 18-year-old boys
(2005)The incidence of hip and forearm fracture in elderly men in the United Kingdom is a public health issue, but there is limited knowledge on lifestyle factors affecting male bone health. The aim of this cross-sectional study ... -
Adjusting for energy intake—what measure to use in nutritional epidemiological studies?
(2004)The measurement of energy intake in epidemiological studies is difficult. However, it is important that energy intake is assessed if epidemiological analyses are to correspond to isocaloric experiments. The aim of this ...
