The electrocatalytic oxidation of ferrocene (Fc) at neutral pH in aqueous solution has been studied over thin films of electroactive sulfonated polyaniline (SPAN) by cyclic voltammetry. Strong adsorption of the oxidised species (ferrocenium ion) on the polymer arises as the…

Aim. To explore the experiences of care staff in managing long-term percutaneous
endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) feeding regimes.
Background. Since its first description in 1980, PEG feeding has become a widelyused

Nowadays, the material disassembly is an important issue for the industry. This paper presents an algorithm to sequence the task to be performed in the disassembly of a specific material from a product or to separate all the materials of…

This paper describes a method for the automatic inference of structural transfer rules to be used in a shallow-transfer machine translation (MT) system from small parallel corpora. The structural transfer rules are based on alignment templates, like those used in…

Silver halide sensitized gelatin (SHSG) is one of the most promising techniques for the fabrication of transmission holographic optical elements, achieving relatively high sensitivity of photographic material with the low scattering and high light stability of dichromated gelatin. In this…

In response to growing public and policy concern about conflicts of interest (COI) in university research, academic institutions in North America and Europe have introduced policies to manage COI. However, depending on their form and content, COI policies can be…

The author outlines a new legal approach, which he labels federal constitutionalism, to the
question of aboriginal difference in Canada. This approach has the potential to open up more
fruitful avenues for the resolution of aboriginal law issues than either…

Technical teaching often requires the use of expensive laboratory materials which are frequently beyond the reach of many students. Students are also required to go to laboratories, which offer the appropriate facilities, according to a strict timetable. For these reasons,…
