The role of cold volcanic debris in glacier ablation. AGU fall meeting EP51B-0846 (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Hobbs, L., Gilbert, J., & Lane, S. (2011, December). The role of cold volcanic debris in glacier ablation. AGU fall meeting EP51B-0846. Presented at AGU Fall Meeting 2011, San Francisco, USA

Debris deposits on ice can either enhance or hinder glacial ablation relative to a clean ice surface. The effect of debris on ice is dependent on whether its thickness is above or below a critical thickness. This is the thickness at which ablation of...

Adjusting to burn injury: What do we know? (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Rumsey, N. (2011, November). Adjusting to burn injury: What do we know?. Presented at Annual Conference of the South African Burn Society, Cape Town, South Africa

The UK’s National Burn Care Review (NBCR, 2005) concluded that there was “consistent and incontrovertible evidence” that burn injuries can result in considerable psychosocial distress throughout the patient journey, and that support and interventions...

Biology and computing (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Gale, E. (2011, November). Biology and computing. Presented at Faculty Research Colloquium, University of the West of England, Bristol, UK

Memristors, the recently discovered 4th fundamental circuit element, have been used as models for biological components, such as neurons. It may be that neurons are memristors, rather than just conveniently modeled by them. This presentation covers r... Read More about Biology and computing.

Enhanced electrochemical reduction of hydrogen peroxide at surfactant/salt modified electrodes (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Gonzalez-Macia, L., & Killard, A. (2011, September). Enhanced electrochemical reduction of hydrogen peroxide at surfactant/salt modified electrodes. Poster presented at Electrochem 2011, Bath, United Kingdom

Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is widely used in many biological systems and industrial processes in the textile, food, pharmaceutical and clinical sectors. The importance of hydrogen peroxide is related to its unique oxidising properties as well as decomp...

Applying qualitative research findings in nursing practice: Revisiting old problems (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Lipscomb, M. (2011, August). Applying qualitative research findings in nursing practice: Revisiting old problems. Paper presented at 15th International Philosophy of Nursing Conference: In Association with the International Philosophy of Nursing Society (IPONS), Dundee, UK

Nursing students are introduced to qualitative methods and methodologies during research awareness training and in many countries this training constitutes a compulsory element in pre-registration (pre-licensure) educational programmes. Regulators su... Read More about Applying qualitative research findings in nursing practice: Revisiting old problems.

Exploiting the soft constraints hypothesis to mitigate interruption effects (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Patrick, J., Morgan, P., & Smy, V. (2011, July). Exploiting the soft constraints hypothesis to mitigate interruption effects. Poster presented at 33rd Annual Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society, Boston, MA

The soft constraints hypothesis (Gray et al., 2006) posits that a more memory-based strategy is induced with increasing costs of accessing goal-state information. This relationship was used advantageously to reduce forgetting in an interrupted visuo... Read More about Exploiting the soft constraints hypothesis to mitigate interruption effects.

Practice developments and educational requirements in hybrid imaging (2011)

Abductive inference the research process and mixed method studies (2011)
Presentation / Conference
Lipscomb, M. (2011, June). Abductive inference the research process and mixed method studies. Paper presented at 7th International Mixed Method Conference, Leeds University, UK

Based upon a reading of the work of Charles Sanders Peirce (1839-1914) this presentation introduces and examines the role of abductive inference in the research process. It is proposed that qualitative research employs or embodies abductive forms of... Read More about Abductive inference the research process and mixed method studies.

The value of mentorship frameworks in current nuclear medicine practice - Initial findings from the South West of England and South Wales (2011)
