Environmental impact and economic assessment for UK sugar beet production systems
(2005-05-30)This project evaluated the environmental impact and economic viability of a range of sugar beet production systems in the UK. The study used 13 sugar beet production scenarios representative of those used throughout the ... -
The SALT HRS spectrograph : final design, instrument capabilities, and operational modes
(2010)The high-resolution chelle spectrograph, SALT HRS, is at an advanced stage of construction and will shortly become available to the user community of the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT). This paper presents a ... -
Residents’ perceptions of water quality improvements following remediation work in the Pymme’s Brook catchment, north London, UK
(2001)Residents’ perceptions of water quality change following remediation work in the upper Pymme’s Brook catchment (north London) were elicited by questionnaire and compared with monitored changes in Escherichia coli count and ... -
A strategic environmental assessment method for agricultural policy in the UK
(1999)There are a number of significant environmental impacts that arise from agricultural practices that may be influenced by policy. A Strategic Environmental Assessment Method (SEAM) is described which aims to assess the ... -
Comparison and evaluation of eight pesticide environmental risk indicators developed in Europe and recommendations for future use
(2002)Information is required on pesticide risk indicators used in Europe in order to optimise their use to reduce the environmental impact of pesticides. The present study was performed to compare and evaluate eight pesticide ... -
Observing novel soil conditioners for carbon emissions mitigation
(2009)Purpose – The New Zealand (NZ) Government's commitment to a sustainable, low emissions energy future may be met, in part, by expanding bioenergy systems fuelled by short rotation forestry through utilising lower quality ... -
The development and use of farm-level indicators in England
(2004)In recent years the concept of ‘sustainability indicators’ has become important within agricultural policy development. However, as policy tools, many indicators are highly technical in nature and often appear relevant ... -
An assessment of the energy inputs and greenhouse gas emissions in sugar beet (Beta vulgaris) production in the UK
(2005)Reducing the energy derived from fossil fuels within agricultural systems has important implications for decreasing atmospheric emissions of greenhouse gases, thus assisting the arrest of global warming. The identification ... -
Confirmatory factor analysis of posttraumatic stress symptoms in emergency personnel : an examination of seven alternative models
(2006)Recent studies into the underlying factor structure of posttraumatic stress symptoms often report factor structures that do not replicate the three symptom cluster of re-experiencing, avoidance and arousal symptoms as ... -
Folk psychological narratives : The sociocultural basis of understanding reasons

Carbon-Enhanced Metal-Poor Stars. III : Main-Sequence Turn-Off Stars from the SDSS/SEGUE Sample
(2008-05-10)The chemical compositions of seven CEMP turnoff stars are determined from high-resolution spectroscopy. Five are selected from the SDSS SEGUE sample of metal-poor stars. Another star chosen from the SDSS SEGUE sample has ... -
Mirror-view reverses somatoparaphrenia : Dissociation between first- and third-person perspectives on body ownership
(2011)Right-hemisphere stroke can lead to the somatoparaphrenic delusion that parts of one's own body belong to someone else. To our knowledge, no previous study has experimentally assessed the sense of body part ownership in ... -
Polymorphisms of the cannabinoid 1 receptor gene and cognitive impairment in multiple sclerosis
(2008)Cognitive impairment occurs in 45—65% of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. The cannabinoid system may potentially be neuroprotective in MS. We examined the relationship between polymorphisms of the CNR1 gene and ... -
Reality monitoring in anosognosia for hemiplegia
(2009)Anosognosia for hemiplegia (AHP) is a lack of awareness about paralysis following stroke. Recent explanations use a ‘forward model’ of movement to suggest that AHP patients fail to register discrepancies between internally- ... -
Anosognosia for hemiplegia as a global deficit in motor awareness : evidence from the non-paralysed limb
(2010)The current study adds to the growing empirical research into the mechanisms underlying unawareness of paralysis following stroke (anosognosia for hemiplegia or AHP) by investigating action awareness for the non-paralysed ... -
A cognitive neuropsychological and psychophysiological investigation of a patient who exhibited an acute exacerbated response during innocuous somatosensory stimulation and movement
(2004)We report findings from a cognitive neuropsychological and psychophysiological investigation of a patient who displayed an exacerbated acute emotional expression during movement, innocuous, and aversive somatosensory ... -
The effect of glucose dose and dual task performance on memory for emotional material
