Quality of Life Outcomes in Patients With Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: Relationship to Treatment Response and Symptom Relapse
(2010)Objective: Data were analyzed from 2 prospective, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials of escitalopram in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) to characterize the baseline levels of functional disability and impairment ... -
Analysis of current conveyor error effects in signal-processing circuits
(1996)In this paper the modelling, analysis and compensation of current conveyor tracking non-idealities in signal-processing circuits employing the second-generation current conveyor (CCII) as a transconductance amplifier are ... -
Current-mode multiple-loop feedback filters using dual-output OTAs and grounded capacitors
(1997)A systematic method is presented for the generation, analysis and synthesis of current-mode continuous-time multiple-integrator-loop all-pole filters using dual-output operational transconductance amplifiers and grounded ... -

Senior Executives and the Emergence of Local Responsibilities in Large Organisations: A Complexity Approach to Potentially Better Results
(2010-06-30)All executives strive for better results in their organisations. They are always dependent on others to achieve these results and this dependency is particularly evident in large organisations. This thesis is concerned ... -
Molecular Analysis of Thyroid Hormone Receptor Beta and Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor Gamma Action
(2010-06-30)The nuclear receptor superfamily comprises a group of ligand-activated transcription factors that regulate the expression of target genes. They play a central role in diverse physiological pathways, and are therefore ... -
A Study in Positivism and Physiology: Readings of Gustave Courbet
(2010-06-30)This thesis explores ways in which the mid-nineteenth-century current of positivist thought impacted upon the work of the French artist Gustave Courbet (1819-1877). Guided by certain methodological imperatives set out in ... -
Energy Efficient Branch Prediction
(2010-06-30)Energy efficiency is of the utmost importance in modern high-performance embedded processor design. As the number of transistors on a chip continues to increase each year, and processor logic becomes ever more complex, ... -
Women's Experiences of Childhood Sexual Abuse and Psychosis in Adulthood
(2010-06-30)Objective: To date there have been few if any qualitative studies of adults who have experienced childhood sexual abuse (CSA) followed by psychotic experiences later in life. This study aimed to explore how a sample of ... -
Mechanical Behaviour and Corrosion of Interstitial-Free Steel - Aluminium Alloy Self-Piercing Riveted Joints
(2010-06-30)The overall aim of the project is to examine the rivetability of new steels and to investigate the mechanical behaviour of self-piercing riveted (SPR) aluminium-steel hybrid structures for automotive applications. Interstitial ... -
Quantitative helical dynamic contrast enhanced computed tomography assessment of the spatial variation in whole tumour blood volume with radiotherapy in lung cancer
(2010)We aim to assess the spatial distribution of blood volume (BV) in whole lung tumours in patients undergoing radiotherapy using helical dynamic contrast enhanced computed tomography (DCE-CT), and to determine whether ... -
Should an obsessive-compulsive spectrum grouping of disorders be included in DSM-V?
