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…

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…

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…

The coupled wave theory of Kogelnik has given a well-established basis for the comprehension of how light propagates inside a volume hologram. This theory gives a good approximation for the diffraction efficiency of both volume phase holograms and volume absorption…

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
technique to provide enteral nutritional support. Its initial use for…

This paper deals with the problem of planning the Center of Mass (CoM) trajectory of a humanoid robot while its feet follow an omnidirectional walking pattern. This trajectory should satisfy the dynamic stability criterion to ensure analytically that the Zero…

There are few practical tools for how we can develop the trust needed to be able to work with ourselves and our colleagues, nor on how
we can develop the organisational conditions that enable us to trust ourselves and others,…

The way in which the quality of life related to health (HRQoL) is affected by the nutritional status of the patient is a subject of constant interest and permanent debate. The purpose of the present paper is to review those…

Purpose: A number of studies and writings have presented ideas about new working practices that might be embraced in the twenty-first century. Moreover, that, employers would seek to gain their commitment by adopting the high working practices of high performance…

In this interview, Adrian Lee talks candidly about the current challenges facing police and public sector leadership. The Chief Constable's studies of theology, philosophy and law prior to him joining the police service have shaped and formed his sense of…
