Applying the Verona Coding Definitions of Emotional Sequences (VR-CoDES) in the dental context involving patients with complex communication needs : an exploratory study
(2014-11) - Journal articleObjective The VR-CoDES has been previously applied in the dental context. However, we know little about how dental patients with intellectual disabilities (ID) and complex communication needs express their emotional distress ... -
An approach to ad hoc cloud computing
(University of St Andrews, 2010-02-25) - ReportWe consider how underused computing resources within an enterprise may be harnessed to improve utilization and create an elastic computing infrastructure. Most current cloud provision involves a data center model, in which ... -
An approach to compliance in software architectures
(2000-08) - Journal articleSoftware architectures are designed to meet the needs of the applications that use them. With conventional architectures this is done by predicting the average needs of the majority of the applications they support. In ... -
An approach to situation recognition based on learned semantic models
(University of St Andrews, 2015-06-24) - ThesisA key enabler of pervasive computing is the ability to drive service delivery through the analysis of situations: Semantically meaningful classifications of system state, identified through analysing the readings from ... -
Approaches to the synthesis of fluoromuscimol and applications of the enantiomers of [7-²H₁]-benzyl fluoride as chiral probes for enzyme reactions
(University of St Andrews, 2014-06-25) - ThesisThis thesis explores the synthesis and use of biologically active fluorinated organic compounds. Muscimol is the neuroactive species of the psychoactive mushroom Amanita muscaria. It binds at the same site as GABA on ... -

An approximate Bayesian method applied to estimating the trajectories of four British grey seal (Halichoerus grypus) populations from pup counts.
(2011) - Journal article1. For British grey seals, as with many pinniped species, population monitoring is implemented by aerial surveys of pups at breeding colonies. Scaling pup counts up to population estimates requires assumptions about ... -
Aptamer-conjugated, fluorescent gold nanorods as potential cancer theradiagnostic agents
(2016-02-01) - Journal articleGNRs are emerging as a new class of probes for theradiagnostic applications thanks to their unique optical properties. However, the achievement of proper nanoconstructs requires the synthesis of highly pure GNRs with ... -
Aquaporin 4 is a ubiquitously expressed isoform in the dogfish (Squalus acanthias) shark
(2012-01-10) - Journal articleThe dogfish ortholog of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) was amplified from cDNA using degenerate PCR followed by cloning and sequencing. The complete coding region was then obtained using 5′ and 3′ RACE techniques. Alignment of the ... -
The Arab Awakening and US counterterrorism in the Greater Middle East: a missed opportunity
