Introducing continental European approaches to UK child welfare practice raises a problem of comparison: to what extent are the problems and issues similar to or different from one country compared to another. Social pedagogues trained in continental Europe and working…

The aim of this study was to compare the fighting strategies between medalists and non-medalists in Taekwondo. A total of 107 matches from the 16th Asian Games had been video-taped for notational analysis. Round house kick was the most frequently…

The Millennium Development Goals (MDG) progress targets have not been met. Nevertheless, the United Nations (UN) has not yet undertaken in-depth review in order to discover the reasons behind this lack of progress in achieving the MDG. From a political…

Book review, Reviews of Emma Liggins's book on George Gissing and Susan Hamilton's on Frances Power Cobb.

15-Deoxy-Δ12,14-prostaglandin J2 (15dPGJ2) has been recently proposed as a potent anti-inflammatory agent. However, the mechanisms by which 15dPGJ2 mediates its therapeutic effects in vivo are unclear. We demonstrate that 15dPGJ2 at micromolar (2.5–10 µM) concentrations induces the expression of heme…

The response of a H-PDLC device is improved by means of a two-step method. First, component optimization—initiator system, crosslinker, and cosolvent—enables the diffraction efficiency of the hologram to be maximized. Second, the use of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone in combination with N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone prevents…

Real-time holographic interferometry has been used to visualize the evolution of the polarization layer during dead-end ultrafiltration of PEG-10000. Several experiments at a constant pressure of 1 bar and varying the feed concentration of PEG-10000 (5–12.5 kg/m3) have been carried…

Despite of the advances achieved in the past years in order to design more natural interfaces between intelligent systems and humans, there is still a great effort to be done. Considering a robot as an intelligent system, the determination of…
