A conceptual framework of positions on women in Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) was developed, showing a chronological progression of the main approaches to women's underrepresentation in SET during the past 20 ...

The process of data taking. reduction and calibration of near-infrared imaging polarimetry data taken with the ESO Adaptive Optics System ADONIS is described. The ADONIS polarimetric facility is provided by a rotating wire ...

We prove a factorization result for relatively compact subsets of compact operators using the Bartle and Graves Selection Theorem, a characterization of relatively compact subsets of tensor products due to Grothendieck, ...

Health promotion initiatives in general practice suggest moderate benefit for adults, but little evidence in children. This study assessed the feasibility of a cardiovascular programme for 8-15-year-olds targeted at smoking, ...

The photometric history of the events related to Gamma-Ray Bursts can be studied from the very beginning, or even before, if they are repeated (at least two times after the first event) by effect of gravitational lensing. ...

We have used data from a TeV gamma-ray flare associated with the active galaxy Markarian 421 to place bounds on the possible energy dependence of the speed of light in the context of an effective quantum gravitational ...

In contrast to other Helicobacter pylori strains, which have serologically detectable Lewis(x) (Le(x)) and Lewis(y) (Le(y)) antigenic determinants in the O-specific polysaccharide chains of the lipopolysaccharides, H. ...

Background: Many Irish homes have unacceptable levels of radon, but there is no information on mitigation actions. Methods: All householders in an urban area with levels above 200 Bq/m(3) were surveyed and a 10% sample was ...
