Energy density of the diet and change in body fatness from childhood to adolescence : is there a relation?
(2008)Background: The contribution of energy density (ED) of the total diet to increased risk of obesity from childhood into adolescence is unclear. Objective: We assessed the relation between the ED of the diet in childhood, ... -
Added sugars and micronutrient dilution
(2009)There is increasing concern that high intakes of added sugars promote micronutrient dilution. However, the overall conclusion to emerge from the existing evidence base is that associations between reported intakes of added ... -
Associations of Physical Activity With Inflammatory Factors, Adipocytokines, and Metabolic Syndrome in Middle-Aged and Older Chinese People
(2009)Inflammatory factors, adipocytokines, and the metabolic syndrome are important determinants of cardiometabolic disease. It remains unclear how physical activity is related to these risk factors. Our objective was to ... -
Using antenarrative approaches to investigate the perceptions of Information Systems’ actors regarding project success and failure
(Springer Nature, 2011)Many Information Systems can be viewed as underperforming when they fail to meet expectations or deliver value to customers. In order to try and understand why these problems occur we apply narrative methods in the IS ... -
Antenarrative and Narrative : The Experience of Actors Involved in the Development and Use of Information Systems
(Taylor & Francis Group, 2011) -
Optical amplifier number and placement in the SuperPON architecture
(2004-01-01)Three alternative optically amplified long reach, wide splitting ratio PON (SuperPON) amplifier placement strategies (i.e architectural configurations) are modelled using the Virtual Photonic Integration (VPI) simulation ... -
Developments in wavelength division multiple access networking
(1998-12-01)The last few years have seen a growing interest in WDM for optical networks in order to increase capacity and overcome the electronic bottleneck. Alongside the improvement in WDM components there has been continuing ... -
Integrated 18F-FDG PET/CT and perfusion CT of primary colorectal cancer : effect of inter- and intraobserver agreement on metabolic-vascular parameters
(2012-11)The purpose of this article is to assess the effect of observers on combined metabolic-vascular parameters in colorectal cancer. Twenty-five prospective patients (12 men and 13 women; mean age, 66.9 years) with proven ... -
Unawareness after stroke : A review and practical guide to understanding, assessing, and managing anosognosia for hemiplegia
(2011)How should stroke patients with poor motor awareness be managed? This question is important because unawareness (or anosognosia) is related to poor rehabilitation and prognosis. This narrative review provides a guide for ... -
Organisation of keying skills : the effect of motor complexity and number of units
(1989)The psychological processes involved in initiating and executing a rapid sequence of movements were investigated. Subjects were required to read a sequence of digits, and then on presentation of a visual cue, key the whole ... -
Insecure Attachment and Psychopathology in Children and Adolescents: a Meta-Analysis
(2012-11-22)Since Bowlby (1958, cited in Bowlby, 1969) originally introduced the theory of attachment it has been written about extensively and a vast amount of research has contributed to the development of the theory. In more recent ... -
Modelling Barium Isotopes in Metal-Poor Stars
(2012-11-22)The principal theory concerning the origin of the elements heavier than the Fe-peak, such as Ba, strongly suggest that for old, metal-poor environments, the rapid (r-) process is the most likely path taken in their ... -
Peace-making youth programmes in Northern Ireland
(2012)The purpose of this paper is to review psychology-based programmes, which were developed to bring together children and young people from Protestant and Catholic backgrounds following the outbreak of the conflict in Northern ... -
Effect of pulsed electric current treatment on the corrosion and strength of reinforcing steel
(2012)The study was carried out in order to evaluate the effect of the pulsed electric current (PEC) treatment on the corrosion as well as on static strength of Polish reinforcing steel. Asreceived St3SX was used for investigations. ... -
The behaviour of aluminium-chromium ferritic steels in simulated coal gasification atmospheres at 723 K
(1989-12-01)Two aluminium-chromium ferritic steels were exposed to simulated coal gasifier atmospheres for times of up to 900 h at 723 K. High-resolution analytical transmission electron microscopy was used to study the development ... -
Characteristics of the combustion synthesis of TiC and Fe-TiC composites
(1994-10-01)The combustion synthesis of TiC, using the thermal explosion mode, was investigated by varying some of the process parameters including the reactant particle size, the pre-compaction pressure, and the heating rate. Based ... -
Reduction/carburisation of columbite concentrate
(1994-06-01)The carbothermic reduction of columbite has been investigated at 1400°C utilising coal and graphite as alternative sources of carbon. Reduction to an iron-carbon matrix and NbC and TaC carbides occurs readily with complete ... -
Re-evaluation of the thermodynamic stability of calcium oxide
(1991-01-01)The reaction CaO+3C = CaC+CO was studied under controlled atmospheres between 1580°C and 1700°C. Reaction was observed to take place at CO pressures higher than those predicted by the available thermodynamic data. By ... -
Simultaneous carburisation and oxidation of niobium in the presence of carbon monoxide
(1993-01-29)During reaction with CO, niobium was observed to carburise and oxidise simultaneously, with NbC, NbO and NbO forming as intermediate products before complete conversion to NbC. It was shown that the reason for such a complex ... -
