The forward peak for neutral projectiles [PDF]
, 1989 . The capture of target electrons into the continuum of fast projectiles is calculated with the peaked impulse approximation. The electronic final state is taken as the low-energy scattering solution of the Schrodinger equation containing a short-range ...

Introduction: The Return of the Exception
Acta Universitatis Lodziensis Folia Iuridica, 2021 The history of the 20th century, and more recently the two-decades long war on terror, have taught us the lesson that the normalisation of the state of exception (intended here as the proliferation of legal instruments regulating emergency powers, and ...

Image reconstruction for emission tomography using intensity normalised patch‐based regularisation
IET Image Processing, 2019 Recently, patch‐based regularisation methods have been a topic for tomographic reconstruction, since they are expected to preserve features within patches. However, conventional patch‐based methods tend to ignore important similarities when the two patches being compared have a large intensity difference, while they share similar features in a scaled ...

Prediction of naturally-occurring, industrially-induced and total trans fatty acids in butter, dairy spreads and Cheddar cheese using vibrational spectroscopy and multivariate data analysis [PDF]
, 2015 peer-reviewedThis study investigated the use of vibrational spectroscopy [near infrared (NIR), Fourier-transform mid-infrared (FT-MIR), Raman] and multivariate data analysis for (1) quantifying total trans fatty acids (TT), and (2) separately predicting ...

Normalisation of total body iron load with very intensive combined chelation reverses cardiac and endocrine complications of thalassaemia major [PDF]
British Journal of Haematology, 2010 SummaryCardiac and endocrine disorders are common sequelae of iron overload in transfused thalassaemia patients. Combined chelation with desferrioxamine (DFO) and deferiprone (DFP) is well tolerated and produces an additive/synergistic effect superior to either drug alone.

Mortality has improved in RA, but we must remain vigilant. Response to: ‘Early intensive treatment normalises excess mortality in ACPA-negative RA but not in ACPA-positive RA’ by Matthijssen et al [PDF]
Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2020 We compliment Matthijssen et al with this highly interesting analysis and results from the Leiden Early Arthritis Clinic. Their mortality results strongly support our findings1 and again emphasise that the focus should be on the excess mortality that emerges after 10 years.

Comparison of spatial domain optimal trade-off maximum average correlation height (OT-MACH) filter with scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) using images with poor contrast and large illumination gradient [PDF]
, 2015 A spatial domain optimal trade-off Maximum Average Correlation Height (OT-MACH) filter has been previously developed and shown to have advantages over frequency domain implementations in that it can be made locally adaptive to spatial variations in the ...
