Lexical Richness in the Spontaneous Speech of Bilinguals (2003)
Journal Article
Daller, H., Van Hout, R., & Treffers-D Aller, J. (2003). Lexical Richness in the Spontaneous Speech of Bilinguals. Applied Linguistics, 24(2), 197-222+267. https://doi.org/10.1093/applin/24.2.197

The focus of the present paper is on the measurement of lexical richness. Lexical richness is often measured either by the traditional type-token ratio (TTR) or by its square root variant, the index of Guiraud. The disadvantages of these measures, es...

Real Time Ultrasound: An Objective Measure of Skeletal Muscle (2003)
Journal Article
Woods, E. C., Bond, E. A., Perkin, H. M., Thompson, J., & Smith, C. (2003). Real Time Ultrasound: An Objective Measure of Skeletal Muscle. Physical Therapy Reviews, 8(2), 99-108. https://doi.org/10.1179/108331903225002506

© 2003 Maney Publishing. Objective measurement of muscle size is an important aspect of physiotherapy, but current clinical assessment methods are unreliable. Whilst not in widespread clinical use, real-time ultrasound has the potential to determine... Read More about Real Time Ultrasound: An Objective Measure of Skeletal Muscle.

Expression in Xenopus oocytes shows that WT1 binds transcripts in vivo, with a central role for zinc finger one (2003)
Journal Article
Ladomery, M., Sommerville, J., Woolner, S., Slight, J., & Hastie, N. (2003). Expression in Xenopus oocytes shows that WT1 binds transcripts in vivo, with a central role for zinc finger one. Journal of Cell Science, 116(8), 1539-1549. https://doi.org/10.1242/jcs.00324

The Wilms' tumour suppressor gene WT1 encodes a protein involved in urogenital development and disease. The salient feature of WT1 is the presence of four 'Krüppel'-type C2-H2 zinc fingers in the C-terminus. Uniquely to WTI, an evolutionarily conserv...

Surviving at the margins: Older homeless people accessing housing, care and support (2003)
Journal Article
Morbey, H., Pannell, J., & Means, R. (2003). Surviving at the margins: Older homeless people accessing housing, care and support. Housing, Care and Support, 6(1), 8-14. https://doi.org/10.1108/14608790200300003

Older people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness, have been the ‘forgotten homeless’ in policy debates and service provision. They tend to be less visible and less vocal than other groups, and low priority has been given to the impact of hom...

Relationship of attachment and social support to college students' adjustment following a relationship breakup (2003)
Journal Article
Hatch, K. D., Moller, N. P., Fouladi, R. T., & McCarthy, C. J. (2003). Relationship of attachment and social support to college students' adjustment following a relationship breakup. Journal of Counseling and Development, 81(3), 354-369. https://doi.org/10.1002/j.1556-6678.2003.tb00262.x

Two constructs integral to adolescent development, continuing parental attachment and social support, were investigated to assess whether the constructs are differentially related to indices of adjustment following a romantic relationship breakup. Pa... Read More about Relationship of attachment and social support to college students' adjustment following a relationship breakup.

Soil availability, plant uptake and soil to plant transfer of 99Tc - A review (2003)
Journal Article
Bennett, R., & Willey, N. (2003). Soil availability, plant uptake and soil to plant transfer of 99Tc - A review. Journal of Environmental Radioactivity, 65(2), 215-231. https://doi.org/10.1016/S0265-931X%2802%2900098-X

The fission yield of 99Tc from 239Pu and 235U is similar to that of 137Cs or 90Sr and it is therefore an important component of nuclear weapons fall-out, nuclear waste and releases from nuclear facilities. There is particular current interest in 99Tc... Read More about Soil availability, plant uptake and soil to plant transfer of 99Tc - A review.

Implantable cardioverter defibrillators: developing evidence-based care. (2003)
Journal Article
Tagney, J. (2003). Implantable cardioverter defibrillators: developing evidence-based care. Nursing Standard, 17(16), 33-36. https://doi.org/10.7748/ns2003.01.17.16.33.c3321

BACKGROUND: In the UK, access to psychological support for people with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) is arbitrary, despite the fact that the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) recognises that the provision of adequate...
