Scalar evolution equations for shear waves in incompressible solids: a simple derivation of the z, zk, kzk and kp equations
(The Royal Society, 2010-12-08)We study the propagation of two-dimensional finite-amplitude shear waves in a nonlinear pre-strained incompressible solid, and derive several asymptotic amplitude equations in a simple, consistent and rigorous manner. The ... -
Scaled up low-mass star formation in massive star-forming cores in the g333 giant molecular cloud
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-03-07)Three bright molecular line sources in G333 have recently been shown to exhibit signatures of infall. We describe amolecular line radiative transfer (RT) modelling process which is required to extract the infall signature ... -
Scar wars: preferences in breast surgery
(Korean Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons, 2015-01-01)Background The uptake of breast reconstruction is ever increasing with procedures ranging from implant-based reconstructions to complex free tissue transfer. Little emphasis is placed on scarring when counseling patients ... -
Scatter radiation intensities around full-field digital mammography units
(British Institute of Radiology, 2013-01-01)The aim of this study was to investigate the scatter radiation intensity around digital mammography systems and apply these data to standard shielding calculations to reveal whether shielding design of existing breast ... -
Scavenging on trawled seabeds can modify trophic size structure of bottom-dwelling fish
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013-09-04)Disturbance by towed bottom-fishing gears often kills larger sensitive benthos, leading to changes in the abundance, size, and species composition of benthic communities. Short-term availability of trawl-damaged prey, and ... -
Scenario modelling: a holistic environmental and energy management method for building operation optimisation
(Elsevier BV, 2013-07-01) -
Schauder bases for symmetric tensor products
(European Mathematical Publishing House, 2005-01-01)For a Banach space E with Schauder basis, we prove that the n fold symmetric tenser product (x) over cap (n)(mu,),E-s has a Schauder basis for all symmetric uniform crossnorms mu. This is done by modifying the square ... -
School food environments and children's dietary behaviours: data from the health behaviour in school-aged children (hbsc) survey

School health education and gender: an interactive effect?
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2000-10-01)Post-primary school students (n = 2407) and young adults (n = 477) participated in a cross-sectional evaluation of a health education programme for schools. The Lifeskills programme is based on a philosophy of student ... -
Science–policy challenges for biodiversity, public health and urbanization: examples from belgium
(IOP Publishing, 2013-05-09)Internationally, the importance of a coordinated effort to protect both biodiversity and public health is more and more recognized. These issues are often concentrated or particularly challenging in urban areas, and therefore ... -

Sclerostin antibody therapy for the treatment of osteoporosis: clinical prospects and challenges
(Hindawi Limited, 2016-01-01)It is estimated that over 200 million adults worldwide have osteoporosis, a disease that has increasing socioeconomic impact reflected by unsustainable costs associated with disability, fracture management, hospital stays, ... -
Screening for mild cognitive impairment: comparison of “mci specific” screening instruments
(IOS Press, 2016-03-15)Background: Sensitive and specific instruments are required to screen for cognitive impairment (CI) in busy clinical practice. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) is widely validated but few studies compare it to tests ... -
Screening reactive metabolites bioactivated by multiple enzyme pathways using a multiplexed microfluidic system
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2013-01-01)A multiplexed, microfluidic platform to detect reactive metabolites is described, and its performance is illustrated for compounds metabolized by oxidative and bioconjugation enzymes in multi-enzyme pathways to mimic natural ... -
Screening uptake rates and the clinical and cost effectiveness of screening for gestational diabetes mellitus in primary versus secondary care: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial
(Springer Nature, 2014-01-01)Background: The risks associated with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are well recognized, and there is increasing evidence to support treatment of the condition. However, clear guidance on the ideal approach to screening ... -
Sdss j123813.73 – 033933.0: a cataclysmic variable evolved beyond the period minimum
(IOP Publishing, 2010-02-10)We present infrared JHK photometry of the cataclysmic variable (CV) SDSS J123813.73-033933.0 and analyze it along with optical spectroscopy, demonstrating that the binary system is most probably comprised of a massive white ... -
Sea bass angling in ireland: a structural equation model of catch and effort
(Elsevier BV, 2018-07-01)The relationship between angling effort and catch is well-recognised, in particular that effort influences catch rates. But increased catch, which can be considered an attribute of fishery quality, may influence effort in ... -
