Supergravity Fluxes and Generalised Geometry : LMS/EPSRC Durham Symposium on Higher Structures in M theory
(2019-05-06)We briefly review the description of the internal sector of supergravity theories in the language of generalised geometry and how this gives rise to a description of supersymmetric backgrounds as integrable geometric ... -
Attitudes to cardiopulmonary resuscitation and defibrillator use: a survey of UK adults in 2017
(2019-04-02)Background-Bystander cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and public access defibrillator (PAD) use can save the lives of people who experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. Little is known about the proportions of UK ... -
BU10038 as a safe opioid analgesic with fewer side-effects after systemic and intrathecal administration in primates
(2019-06-01)Background: The marked increase in mis-use of prescription opioids has greatly affected our society. One potential solution is to develop improved analgesics which have agonist action at both mu opioid peptide (MOP) and ... -
Acute Haemodynamic Changes During Haemodialysis Do Not Exacerbate Gut Hyperpermeability
(2019-04-12)Introduction: The gastrointestinal tract is a potential source of inflammation in dialysis patients. In-vitro studies suggest breakdown of the gut barrier in uraemia leading to increased intestinal permeability and it is ... -
TGI Friday’s … Training, guidance and information sessions to support student midwives in clinical practice
(2019-06-07)Effective partnership working between NHS Trusts and universities is a fundamental aspect of any pre-registration midwifery education programme. Over the course of the programme, students develop their knowledge and skills ... -
What is the impact of 12-hour shifts on midwives' emotional wellbeing and ability to safely deliver care?
(2019-05-02)Work-related stress and burnout are not uncommon within the midwifery workforce in the UK. The reasons for this are likely to be multifactorial, but organisational issues, like insufficient staffing, 12-hour shifts and ... -
A flat trend of star-formation rate with X-ray luminosity of galaxies hosting AGN in the SCUBA-2 Cosmology Legacy Survey
(2019-04-17)Feedback processes from active galactic nuclei (AGN) are thought to play a crucial role in regulating star formation in massive galaxies. Previous studies using \textit{Herschel} have resulted in conflicting conclusions ... -
Factors influencing palliative care in advanced dementia : A systematic review
(2019-04-03)Background: Dementia is a progressive neurodegenerative life-limiting disease. The international literature indicates that patients with advanced dementia can benefit from palliative care (PC) provided during the end-of-life ... -
Information in radiotherapy for men with localised prostate cancer : An integrative review
(2019-05)INTRODUCTION: Men with prostate cancer may receive radiotherapy as part of their management. They encounter a range of information related to radiotherapy, and a crucial role for therapeutic radiographers and other healthcare ... -
Integrative roles of nitric oxide and hydrogen sulfide in melatonin‐induced tolerance of pepper (Capsicum annuum L.) plants to iron deficiency and salt stress alone or in combination
(2019-04-13)There seems to be no report in the literature on the effect of melatonin (MT) in relieving the detrimental effects of combined application of salt stress (SS) and iron deficiency (ID). Therefore, the effect of MT on the ... -
JINGLE, a JCMT legacy survey of dust and gas for galaxy evolution studies : II. SCUBA-2 850 μm data reduction and dust flux density catalogues
(2019-04-17)We present the SCUBA-2 850 ${\mu}m$ component of JINGLE, the new JCMT large survey for dust and gas in nearby galaxies, which with 193 galaxies is the largest targeted survey of nearby galaxies at 850 ${\mu}m$. We provide ... -
Postdialysis recovery time is extended in patients with greater self-reported depression screening questionnaire scores
(2018-07-01)Introduction: Most patients take time to recover after a hemodialysis (HD) session. It has been suggested that recovery time is associated with intradialytic hypotension and rapid solute clearances. Other studies have ... -
The dynamical evolution of molecular clouds near the Galactic Centre - II. Spatial structure and kinematics of simulated clouds
(2019-04-01)The evolution of molecular clouds in galactic centres is thought to differ from that in galactic discs due to a significant influence of the external gravitational potential. We present a set of numerical simulations of ... -
Synthesis, biological evaluation, and SAR studies of 14β-phenylacetyl substituted 17-cyclopropylmethyl-7, 8-dihydronoroxymorphinones derivatives : Ligands with mixed NOP and opioid receptor profile
(2018-09-19)A series of 14β-acyl substituted 17-cyclopropylmethyl-7,8-dihydronoroxymorphinone compounds has been synthesized and evaluated for affinity and efficacy for mu (MOP), kappa (KOP), and delta (DOP) opioid receptors and ... -
The Routledge International Handbook of Embodied Perspectives in Psychotherapy : Approaches from Dance Movement and Body Psychotherapies
(Routledge, 2019-04-26)There is a growing interest in embodied approaches to psychotherapy internationally. This volume focuses on the respective focal professions of dance movement psychotherapy (DMP) and body psychotherapy (BP), addressing the ... -
Assessment of supply interruption of rhenium, recycling, processing sources and technologies
(2019-04-16)Rhenium is a unique, valuable and extremely rare chemical element currently used as an alloying element in high-temperature superalloys for aerospace and industrial gas-fired turbines and also as a catalyst in petrochemical ... -
Colour Constancy for Image of Non-Uniformly Lit Scenes
(2019-05-15)Digital camera sensors are designed to record all incident light from a captured scene, but they are unable to distinguish between the colour of the light source and the true colour of objects. The resulting captured image ... -
Movement speaks of culture: A study focusing on women with depression in Taiwan
(2018-12-01)Body, movement and mind are united. Depression can be embodied, and the movement of people with depression is often different from people without depression. This embodiment will most likely vary from culture to culture ... -
The Gaia Ultra-Cool Dwarf Sample -- II : Structure at the end of the main sequence
(2019-05-01)We identify and investigate known late M, L and T dwarfs in the Gaia second data release. This sample is being used as a training set in the Gaia data processing chain of the ultra cool dwarfs work package. We find 695 ... -
