Bio-aerosol fluorescence - Detecting and characterising bio-aerosols via UV light-induced fluorescence spectroscopy
(Springer Nature Link, 2007)All aspects of fluorescence from a single or a cluster of bio-aerosol particles are treated in this chapter. The following topics are covered: light sources to induce fluorescence, detectors to sense fluorescence, excitation ... -
Angularly resolved elastic scattering from airborne particles - Potential for characterizing, classifying, and identifying individual aerosol particles
(Springer Nature Link, 2007)Analysing the light scattering properties of individual airborne particles has become a powerful tool by which they may be characterized, classified, and in some cases, identified. The approach offers a non-invasive, ... -
Solid-state O-17 NMR of amino acids
(2004-07-01)O-17 solid-state NMR from 14 amino acids is reported here, greatly increasing the number investigated. In most cases well-separated resonances from carbonyl and hydroxyl oxygens with distinct second-order quadrupolar line ... -
Site-specific examination of secondary structure and orientation determination in membrane proteins: The peptidic C-13=O-18 group as a novel infrared probe
(2001-11)Detailed site-specific information can be exceptionally useful in structural studies of macromolecules in general and proteins in particular. Stich information is usually obtained from spectroscopic studies using a label/probe ... -
The availability and cost of a milk-free diet for cow's milk protein allergy
(2011)Background: Cow's milk protein allergy (CMPA) is the most common food allergy, and adherence to a milk-free diet is essential, particularly in immunoglobulin E-mediated CMPA sufferers (Benhamou et al., 2009). No studies ... -
Enhancing the student learning experience through interactive virtual reality simulation
(2011)A virtual simulation workshop took place at the University of Hertfordshire (UH) in 2010 as part of a small project funded by the UH Learning and Teaching Institute. The project saw the development and implementation of ... -
Counselling in culturally diverse inner-city communities : The rise and fall of the Kabin counselling project
(2009)The social and economic regeneration of inner-city housing estates has been a common feature of successive UK government policies for a number of years. However, their focus has primarily been on the physical regeneration ... -
Assessment of dynamic walking balance in children with acquired brain injury
(2007)Children with brain injuries typically present with walking and balance difficulties, and successful rehabilitation depends on the therapist's ability to measure and understand the different components of gait accurately. ... -
Efficiency measurement and decomposition for the Chinese state-owned commercial banks at the provincial level
(2010)This study adopts a bank production function approach to the measurement of efficiency of the Chinese state-owned commercial banking groups at the provincial level from 1998 to 2003. Applying Data Envelopment Analysis and ... -
Adaptive electrical signal post-processing with varying representations in optical communication systems
(2009)Improving bit error rates in optical communication systems is a difficult and important problem. Error detection and correction must take place at: high speed, and be extremely accurate. Also, different communication ... -
Controlling chaos on safe side-effects in data-parallel operations
(ACM Press, 2009)With the rising variety of hardware designs for multi-core systems, the effectiveness in exploiting implicit concurrency of programs plays a more vital role for programming such systems than ever before. We believe that a ... -
The ethics of information transparency
(2009-06)The paper investigates the ethics of information transparency (henceforth transparency). It argues that transparency is not an ethical principle in itself but a pro-ethical condition for enabling or impairing other ethical ... -
The performance pf sparsley-connected 2D associative memory models with non-random images
(World Scientific Publishing, 2009)A sparsely connected associative memory model is built with small-world connectivity, and trained on both random, and real-world image sets. It is found that pattern recall using real-world images can vary significantly ... -
The Hatfield Image Test (HIT) : A new picture test and norms for experimental and clinical use
(2009)We present a new corpus of 147 high-quality photographic colour images (the Hatfield Image Test: HIT). Existing sets of pictorial stimuli tend to be line drawn, contain many items that are readily identifiable by healthy ... -
The 1960 Treaties and the search for security in Cyprus
(2009)At the beginning of The Birds, the play written by Aristophanes, two frustrated and grizzled Athenians, Euelpides and Pithetaerus, find themselves lost in a ‘wild and desolate region’ with just a bird in each hand for ... -
The role of law in pandemic influenza preparedness in Europe
(2009-03)The European Union (EU) is composed of 27 states with widely varying histories, economies, cultures, legal systems, medical systems and approaches to the balance between public good and Private right. The individual nation ... -
Fifteen years of economic transition
(Springer Nature Link, 2008)Three years after the collapse of the Berlin Wall, and one year after the break-up of the Soviet Union, Egon Matzner collaborated in the production of a book that was critical of the Western-inspired policy of market ‘shock ... -
Plus ca change...but what changes and what stays the same
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2006)Since 1949 there have been some dramatic changes in the fabrication technology of computing devices but in the design of computing devices and in software technology the changes have been more limited. This short note ... -
Formation and microstructure of (Ti, V)C-reinforeed iron-matrix composites using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis
(2008-03-01)The combustion synthesis of (Ti, V)C-reinforced iron-matrix composites from elemental powders was examined. Examination using scanning electron microscopy indicated that two types of carbide particles were formed having a ... -
