The Scope of Radiographic Practice 2008 : A research report compiled by the University of Hertfordshire in collaboration with the Institute for Employment Studies
(University of Hertfordshire, 2009)This report was commissioned by the Society and College of Radiographers (SCoR) at the end of 2007 to identify the current scope of practice for the radiographic workforce across the spectrum of clinical imaging and ... -
Towards social inclusion through lifelong learning in mental health : Analysis of change in the lives of the emilia project service users
(2011-05-01)Background: The application of formal lifelong learning to enhance social inclusion in mental health is rarely investigated in terms of change in the lives of service users on a cross-country comparative scale. Aims: This ... -
Multiparameter Quantum Stochastic Processes
(World Scientific Publishing, 2011-01)We extend the non-commutative constructions outlined in Ref.1–3 to the general n parameter case, these being integrals over an n - dimensional parameter space, employing martingales as integrand. We extend previous results ... -
Multidimensional Quantum Stochastic Integrals
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2011-01-01)Quantum stochastic analogues (ℋ,script A,{script A} ,m,ℝ), of a classical stochastic base may be formed whereby a classical sample space Ω is replaced by a Hilbert Space ℋ, σ-field ℱ is replaced by a von Neumann algebra ... -
Quasi-Free Stochastic Integrals and Martingale Representation
(World Scientific Publishing, 2008-11)We discuss the construction of quantum stochastic integrals over the positive plane. Non-commutative representations for the quasi-free CAR and CCR settings are presented extending results obtained previously for martingales ... -
Quantum stochastic processes
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)We consider quantum analogues of n-parameter stochastic processes, associated integrals and martingale properties extending classical results obtained in [1, 2, 3], and quantum results in [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]. -
The Impact of Attending a Psycho-educational Antenatal Group on the Observed Parent-Infant Relationship
(2013-01-22)The important implications of the attachment relationship have led researchers to consider what the precursors to a secure attachment relationship are. Ainsworth, Bell, and Stayton (1971) proposed that maternal sensitivity ... -
Computational Model-Based Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Reinforcement Learning in Humans
(2013-01-22)The aim of this thesis is to determine the changes in BOLD signal of the human brain during various stages of reinforcement learning. In order to accomplish that goal two probabilistic reinforcement-learning tasks were ... -
Repression of SHP-1 expression by p53 leads to trkA tyrosine phosphorylation and suppression of breast cancer cell proliferation.
(2009-10-29)The nerve growth factor (NGF) receptor, trkA, the tumour suppressor p53 and the phosphatase SHP-1 are critical in cell proliferation and differentiation. SHP-1 is a trkA phosphatase that dephosphorylates trkA at tyrosines ... -
Epidermal growth factor upregulates motility of Mat-LyLu rat prostate cancer cells partially via voltage-gated Na+ channel activity.
(2008-04)The main aim of this investigation was to determine whether a functional relationship existed between epidermal growth factor (EGF) and voltage-gated sodium channel (VGSC) upregulation, both associated with strongly ... -
Biomechanics of ankle instability Part 1 : Reaction time to simulated ankle sprain
(2008)Purpose: To test the hypothesis that ankles with functional instability will demonstrate slower muscular reaction times than their contralateral stable ankle (SA) and stable healthy controls to a simulated nonpathological ... -
Biomechanics of ankle instability. Part 2 : Postural sway-reaction time relationship
(2008)Purpose: To test the hypothesis that ankles with functional instability will demonstrate greater single-limb postural sway (PS) than their contralateral stable joint and stable healthy controls and to examine the relationship ... -
Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device Part I : Validity
(2012-09)The BioharnessTM monitoring system may provide physiological information on human performance but there is limited information on its validity. The objective of this study was to assess the validity of all 5 BioharnessTM ... -
Bioharness (TM) multivariable monitoring device - Part II : Reliability
(2012-09)The BioharnessTM monitoring system may provide physiological information on human performance but the reliability of this data is fundamental for confidence in the equipment being used. The objective of this study was to ... -
A preliminary analysis of team performance in English first-class Twenty-Twenty (T20) cricket
(2012-04)T20 cricket is becoming the most popular and financially valuable form of the game, yet information related to the performances of winning teams is limited. This preliminary study investigated batting and bowling performance ... -
The effect of a heart failure training intervention assessed via clinical simulation
(2011)Prehospital differential diagnosis of heart failure (HF) by paramedics is sometimes unreliable (Schaider et al, 1995) and may lead to therapeutic interventions being withheld (Jenkinson et al, 2008) or the initiation of ... -
Prospective blinded comparison of surface versus wire electromyographic analysis of muscle recruitment in shoulder instability
(2009)This pilot study assesses level of agreement between surface and fine-wire electromyography (EMG), in order to establish if surface is as reliable as fine wire in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal muscle patterning ... -
Use of ultrasound imaging by physiotherapists : A pilot study to survey use, skills and training
(2012-02-01)Objective: This study aimed to design and pilot a questionnaire to survey the use of ultrasound imaging (USI) by physiotherapists in the United Kingdom (UK), the type and content of ultrasound training physiotherapists ... -
Investigation of optimal cues to instruction for pelvic floor muscle contraction : A pilot study using 2D ultrasound imaging in pre-menopausal, nulliparous, continent women
(2011)Aims: Optimal urethrovesical positioning (UVP) may be important for continence. Pelvic floor muscle contraction (PFMC) influences UVP. PFMC instruction cues vary and often encourage anterior PFM recruitment that may result ... -
Trends and socio-economic correlates of adolescent physical fighting in 30 countries.
(2013)No recent international studies provide evidence about its prevalence, trends, or social determinants of physical fighting in adolescents. We studied cross-national epidemiologic trends over time in the occurrence of ...
