An organizational study into the concept of “automation policy” in a safety critical socio-technical system.
(2013)Although automation has been introduced in all areas of public life, what seems to be missing is a reflection at the organizational or societal level about a policy of automation. By this we intend appropriate declarations ... -
Why we need a survey of unions
(2012)Unions represent millions of workers in both Britain and the U.S. despite substantial membership declines over the last thirty years. Union influence and trends contained therein are major concerns to a broad range of ... -
Property Rights and the Duty to Extend Human Life
(2011)This article examines what the author calls the ‘argument from duty’, i.e. the argument that we should recognize private property rights in space because doing so will help us to act upon our duty to ensure the future ... -
Subacromial impingement syndrome : A musculoskeletal condition or a clinical illusion?
(2011-10)Background: Subacromial impingement syndrome is considered by many to be the most common of the musculoskeletal conditions affecting the shoulder. It is based on a hypothesis that acromial irritation leads to external ... -
Sequences in the HSP90 promoter form G-quadruplex structures with selectivity for disubstituted phenyl bis-oxazole derivatives
(2012)The HSP90 protein is an important target in cancer. We report here that stable quadruplex DNAs can be formed from a promoter sequence in the HSP90 gene, on the basis of melting, circular and NMR studies, and show that these ... -
Pulse electric current effect on mechanical properties of titanium aluminide produced by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis technique
(2012)We present results of study on the effect of pulse electric current treatment on bending strength and hardness of intermetallic titanium aluminide produced by the self-propagating high-temperature synthesis technique. It ... -

Social defeat and PTSD symptoms following trauma
(2013-11)Research indicates that constructs relevant to social rank predict a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including mental defeat, alienation, and shame. However, no studies have yet explored a social rank ... -
Helplessness, mastery and the development of eating disorders : Exploring the links between vulnerability and precipitating factors
(2012)BACKGROUND: Helplessness and mastery in childhood and in response to the events that trigger onset are implicated in the development of eating disorders. However, no studies have yet explored how these are linked and whether ... -
In situ self assembly of soft diclofenac loaded microparticles in superstructured fluids
(2013-09)This study investigated how the in situ construction and payload delivery from soft diclofenac loaded hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) coated microparticles was influenced by the superstructure of the cosolvent in which ... -
Sudden death in emergency care : responding to bereaved relatives
(2013-12-01)Many emergency nurses find it difficult to support relatives whose loved ones are being resuscitated or to witness relatives' distress after their family members have died. When such events occur, emergency practitioners ... -
Management of genetically modified herbicide tolerant sugar beet for spring and autumn environmental benefit
(2005-01)When used in genetically modified herbicide–tolerant (GMHT) crops, glyphosate provides great flexibility to manipulate weed populations with consequences for invertebrates and higher trophic levels, for example birds. A ... -
Defeated but defiant : The continued resilience of the National Union Mineworkers within the Nottinghamshire Coalfield
(2005-04)This article provides new empirical data on a case study colliery in Nottinghamshire, supporting the union resilience/renewal argument. It highlights the hostile environment in which the NUM operates, and the importance ... -
Particle extinction measured at ambient conditions with differential optical absorption spectroscopy. 1 : System setup and characterization
(2005-03-20)We describe an instrument for measuring the particle extinction coefficient at ambient conditions in the spectral range from 270 to 1000 nm. It is based on a differential optical absorption spectroscopy (DOAS) system, which ... -
Characterization of Asian dust and Siberian smoke with multiwavelength Raman lidar over Tokyo, Japan in spring 2003
(2004-12-02)[ 1] In the spring of 2003, we observed lofted Asian dust and Siberian forest-fire smoke plumes in the free troposphere over Tokyo, Japan with a dual-wavelength Raman lidar. These data show clear signatures of the optical ... -
Microphysical aerosol parameters from multiwavelength lidar
(2005-03)The hybrid regularization technique developed at the Institute of Mathematics of Potsdam University (IMP) is used to derive microphysical properties such as effective radius, surface-area concentration, and volume ... -
Evaluation of a British-German postgraduate course in clinical pharmacy
(2005-03-01)Since 1997, a 4 week postgraduate course in clinical pharmacy has been offered annually at the University of Tübingen (Germany) in cooperation with the School of Pharmacy, University of London (United Kingdom). The course ... -
P2X receptors and the endothelium
(2005)Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is now established as a principle vaso-active mediator in the vasculature. Its actions on arteries are complex, and are mediated by the P2X and P2Y receptor families. It is generally accepted ... -
Time-energy relation of the n_TOF neutron beam : energy standards revisited
(2004-10-21)The accurate determination of neutron cross-sections as a function of the neutron energy at a time-of-flight facility requires a precise knowledge of the time-energy relation for the neutron beam. For the n-TOF neutron ...
