Contradictions and tensions of the practice of masculinities in school: interrogating embodiment and 'good buddy talk'
(Journal of Curriculum Theorizing, 2005)Masculinity, and gender more broadly, has been theorised as a series of performative and discursive acts (Butler, 1990) which are constituted contextually and culturally. Not only are masculinities enacted differently ... -
The Contradictions of Policy and Practice: Creativity in Higher Education
(London Review of Education (Taylor & Francis), 2012-07)Whilst much of the rhetoric of current educational policy champions creativity and innovation, structural reforms and new management practices in higher education run counter to the known conditions under which creativity ... -
Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance cholangiography using mangafodipir compared with standard t2w mrc sequences: a pictorial essay
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-01-01)Mangafodipir, a manganese-containing hepatobiliary contrast agent, is excreted in bile. We review the principles and practice of a contrast-enhanced MRC technique using mangafodipir and compare it with standard T2-weighted ... -
The contrasting impact of global and local object attributes on Kanizsa figure detection
(Psychonomic Society, 2007-11)Studies on the involvement of object completions in search for illusory figures have so far reported equivocal results. We have addressed this issue by investigating at which level object attributes in Kanizsa figures ... -
Contrasting responses to nutrient enrichment of prokaryotic communities collected from deep sea sites in the Southern Ocean
(MDPI Open-Access Journals, 2013-09-13)Abstract: Deep water samples (ca. 4,200 m) were taken from two hydrologically-similar sites around the Crozet islands with highly contrasting surface water productivities. Site M5 was characteristic of high productivity ... -
Contrasting yield responses to phosphorus applications on mineral and organic soils from extensively managed grasslands: Implications for P management in high ecological status catchments
(Wiley, 2018-09-13)Phosphorus (P) loss from grassland production is one of the main causes affecting high status water bodies in Europe. Soils with a high content in organic matter (OM), even if extensively managed, are particularly vulnerable ... -
Contribution behaviours in systems development - a position paper
(2009-12-02)This development research paper explores concepts associated with contribution behaviours. Contribution, in its simplest context occurs in organization settings where employees share knowledge with one another. Usually, ... -
Contribution of copy number variants to schizophrenia from a genome-wide study of 41,321 subjects
(Springer Nature, 2016-11-21)Copy number variants (CNVs) have been strongly implicated in the genetic etiology of schizophrenia (SCZ). However, genome-wide investigation of the contribution of CNV to risk has been hampered by limited sample sizes. We ... -
Contribution of feldspar and marine organic aerosols to global ice nucleating particle concentrations
(Copernicus GmbH, 2017-03-15)Ice-nucleating particles (INPs) are known to affect the amount of ice in mixed-phase clouds, thereby influencing many of their properties. The atmospheric INP concentration changes by orders of magnitude from terrestrial ... -
The contribution of ingredient glycosylation and milk glycoproteins to infant milk formulations and bacterial microbiome activity
(NUI Galway, 2023-08-16)Infant milk formula (IMF) is a food that has a specific purpose in the feeding of infants at different stages of their development. It is modelled on human milk, which contains a number of unique ingredients to ensure ... -
Contribution of isoprene oxidation products to marine aerosol over the north-east atlantic
(Hindawi Limited, 2010-01-01)Secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation through isoprene oxidation was investigated with the regional-scale climate model REMOTE. The applied modeling scheme includes a treatment for marine primary organic aerosol ... -
Contribution of non-histone proteins to chromatin structure and stability
(2015-10-30)Histones are responsible for packaging the genomes of almost all eukaryotes into fundamental repeating nucleosome units. The packaging must facilitate compaction into the cell nucleus but also enable dynamic access to the ... -
Contribution of solid fuel, gas combustion, or tobacco smoke to indoor air pollutant concentrations in irish and scottish homes
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-11-09)There are limited data describing pollutant levels inside homes that burn solid fuel within developed country settings with most studies describing test conditions or the effect of interventions. This study recruited homes ... -
Contribution of the empirical dispersion correction on the conformation of short alanine peptides obtained by gas-phase qm calculations
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2013-09-01)In this work we analyze the effect of the inclusion of an empirical dispersion term to standard DFT (DFT-D) in the prediction of the conformational energy of the alanine dipeptide (Ala2) and in assessing the relative ... -
Contributions of cognitive grammar to learning Spanish prepositions: An empirical study with university students of Spanish as a foreign language / Aportaciones de la gramática cognitiva al aprendizaje de preposiciones: una investigación empírica con estudiantes universitarios de E/LE
(NUI Galway, 2022-06-10)The perception of prepositions as relational functional units with a secondary role in the creation of meaning has often resulted in a superficial treatment of these elements in the classroom. Their introduction as ... -
