Migration and fusion of tactile sensation - premorbid susceptibility to allochiria, neglect and extinction?
(2004)Migration of tactile sensation was found to occur very frequently in about 25% of normal people (High Error subjects) and very infrequently in others. When synchronous stimuli touched the two hands, if the unattended ... -
Structured perceptual input imposes an egocentric frame of reference - pointing, imagery and spatial self-consciousness
(2005)Perceptual input imposes and maintains an egocentric frame of reference, which enables orientation. When blindfolded, people tended to mistake the assumed intrinsic axes of symmetry of their immediate environment (a room) ... -
Building on Bloom : A paradigm for teaching pharmacy law and ethics from the UK
(2011)Law and ethics share many common characteristics while fulfilling separate functions in the regulation of pharmacists' behavior. In pharmacy education, Law and Ethics, as a subject, has traditionally been taught didactically ... -
Dynamic Assignment Protocols for Multi-wavelength Gigabit-PONs
(2011-02-23)The research initiatives addressed in this thesis are geared towards improving the performance of passive optical networks through the development of advanced dynamic bandwidth allocation protocols. In particular, the aim ... -
Inter-cultural differences in response to a computer based anti-bullying intervention
(2010)Background and purpose: Many holistic anti-bullying interventions have been attempted, with mixed success, while little work has been done to promote a 'self-help' approach to victimisation. The rise of the ICT curriculum ... -
Eating disorders and irritable bowel syndrome : Is there a link?
(2005)Objective: The relationship between eating disorders (ED) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is poorly understood. We wanted to determine the prevalence of IBS in a large sample of eating disordered individuals, examine ... -
Why do adolescents with bulimia nervosa choose not to involve their parents in treatment?
(2005)Background: Although the use of family therapy for adolescents with anorexia nervosa is well established, there has been limited research into the efficacy of family therapy in adolescents with bulimia nervosa (BN). No ... -
Self-reported parental abuse relates to autobiographical memory style in patients with eating disorders
(2003)Previous research has shown a relationship between levels of self-reported childhood abuse and overgeneral memory style. This relationship was further clarified in patients with an eating disorder (ED). Patients and healthy ... -
Hyperanxiety produced by periaqueductal gray injection of chondroitin sulphate glycosaminoglycan
(2001)We examined the effects of chondroitin sulphate C (CSC) on fear and anxiety parameters following injection of the glycosaminoglycan into the dorsal periaqueductal gray. Rats with chronically implanted cannulae were ... -
A virial theorem for rotating charged perfect fluids in general relativity
(2003)We obtain an exact form of the virial theorem in general relativity, which is sufficiently general to be applied to charged, conducting, rotating perfect fluids in electromagnetic and gravitational fields. The case of ... -
Stationary axially symmetric rigidly rotating charged dust
(2001)We obtain three stationary axially symmetric solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell field equations for rigidly rotating charged dust in a force–free electromagnetic field. The first solution, expressed in terms of Bessel ... -
A combined rotating charged dust-surface layer source for the McCrea electrovacuum
(2003)The McCrea electrovacuum is one of the few known stationary cylindrically symmetric solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell field equations. In the purely gravitational case in which the electromagnetic field is absent, a source ... -
The measurement of self-concept in children with complex needs
(2004)This article offers a brief definition of self-concept and explores the difficulties of finding an instrument to measure the selfconcept of young people who have complex needs. The article focuses on the use of the ... -
Perfectly conducting rapidly rotating sphere and pulsar electrodynamics
(2005)We consider a perfectly conducting fluid with spherical boundary, rotating with constant angular velocity in an electromagnetic field. We then obtain, in the framework of special relativity, the exact forms of the equations ... -
Contextualizing bodies : how human responsiveness constrains distributed cognition
(2004)Linking a distributed view of cognition to an integrational perspective on language, learning to talk is presented as an ontogenetic achievement. Examining this as an epigenetic process permits an innovative sketch of how ... -
How to do things without words : infants, utterance-activity and distributed cognition
(2004)Clark and Chalmers [Analysis 58 (1998) 7] defend the hypothesis of an ‘extended mind', maintaining that beliefs and other paradigmatic mental states can be implemented outside the central nervous system or body. Aspects ... -
Grounding signs of culture : primary intersubjectivity in social semiosis
(2004)The article examines how infants are first permeated by culture. Building on Thibault (2000), semiogenesis is traced to the joint activity of primary intersubjectivity. Using an African example, analysis shows how--at 14 ... -
Adaptive simulated annealing for CT image classification
(2002)We present a pattern classification method that combines the classical Perceptron algorithm with simulated annealing. For a sample set S of n-dimensional patterns labeled as positive and negative, our algorithm computes ... -
Quasi-free quantum stochastic integrals in the plane
(2002)Various quantum stochastic integrals in the plane are constructed where the integrators are given by quasi-free boson or fermion creation and annihilation two-parameter processes. The resulting stochastic integrals are ... -
On the convergence of inhomogeneous Markov chains : Approximating equilibrium placements of flexible objects
(2001)This paper deals with the minimization of local forces in two-dimensional placements of flexible objects within rigid boundaries. The objects are disks of the same size but, in general, of different materials. Potential ...
