Abstract The idea of "green infrastructure" has experienced a quick emergence in planning policy with little opportunity to reflect on the meanings attached concept by different interests. This contributed confusion and discomfort "lack understanding" among practitioners England who argue that green infrastructure could be "corruptible concept". Here I respond resistance multiple critically examining it as contested concept. Building literature positions ambiguity unavoidable, single precise...
Abstract Impulsiveness describes the inability to inhibit behaviour in presence of salient cues. Trait-level impulsivity exists on a continuum and individual differences can be adaptive different contexts. While breed related behavioural tendency domestic dog ( Canis familiaris ) are well established, phenomenon within lines which have been selected more recently is not studied, although it may challenge popular notion breed-typical behaviour. We describe between two breeds with working show...
ABSTRACTThere is increasing evidence to suggest that dogs are beneficial for children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in therapy sessions, and anecdotal reports may have wider benefits, a family setting. This study investigated the effect of dog ownership on functioning child anxiety. Using validated scale strengths weaknesses (Brief Version Family Assessment Measure-III [General Scale]), we compared parents ASD who had recently acquired pet (n=42, Intervention group) similar group not...
This study investigated the welfare consequences of training dogs in field with manually operated electronic devices (e-collars). Following a preliminary on 9 dogs, 63 pet referred for recall related problems were assigned to one three Groups: Treatment Group A trained by industry approved trainers using e-collars; Control B same but without use and C members Association Pet Dog Trainers, UK again e-collar stimulation (n = 21 each Group). Dogs received two 15 minute sessions per day 4-5...
The ability of fungi to establish mycorrhizal associations with plants and enhance the acquisition mineral nutrients stands out as a key feature terrestrial life. Evidence indicates that arbuscular (AM) association is trait present in common ancestor land plants,1Remy W. Taylor T.N. Hass H. Kerp Four hundred-million-year-old vesicular mycorrhizae.Proc. Natl.

Abstract Tourette syndrome (TS) and chronic tic disorder (CTD) are neurological disorders of childhood onset characterized by the occurrence tics; repetitive, purposeless, movements or vocalizations short duration which can occur many times throughout a day. Currently, effective treatment for is an area considerable unmet clinical need. We aimed to evaluate efficacy home‐administered neuromodulation tics involving delivery rhythmic pulse trains median nerve stimulation (MNS) delivered via...
A model for conductivity storage in CdS is proposed. It involves a level from which electrons are excited while the collection of these by receiving accompanied local crystal deformation allowing quasi-equilibrium state, stored represents, to be set up. Published literature dealing with sensitivity electrical properties thermal or mechanical stress lends credibility model.
With growing interest in the value of animal companionship to human health, and increasing business awareness promoting work-based health innovations improving employees' feelings support, there has been a rise about allowing dogs workplace (e.g., "Take your dog work day" initiative; Pet Sitters International, 2015). However, is little scientific literature advantages or disadvantages such practice support decision makers. We report results an internationally promoted survey assess...
Polycrystalline specimens of In2Se3, InSe and In2Se were prepared by direct fusion. Electrical physical measurements made which indicated a phase change in In2Se3 at 196° C.
Difficulties experienced in obtaining reproducible results from thermally stimulated current analysis have led to a reconsideration of the basic mechanisms involved, and it is shown that spectrum critically dependent on optical stimulation thermal emptying procedures. It may not always be necessary explain appearance disappearance traps by other more complicated models, for example photosynthesis.
Abstract Previous studies have examined the specific benefits of therapy and assistance dogs on children with autism, but until recently only anecdotes existed concerning pet dogs. We conducted structured interviews 40 parents an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to investigate perceived impact Half sample (20) owned a dog half was looking acquire one. Restrictions associated ownership were underestimated, whilst enjoyment, fun improvements in communication social interaction overestimated by...
Gender and ethnicity are important aspects of children's everyday social relationships, yet little is known about how these categories influence collaborative interactions. In the present study, 322 White (Caucasian) South Asian boys girls (mean age, 7.5 years) collaborated in pairs on easy difficult versions a model completion task. As expected, were less assertive than conversation, this relation held only for all-Asian (i.e., an boy girl conversation). Also consistent with expectations,...

The pyroelectric detector is well established as a very effective single-element infra-red operating at room temperature. This paper describes the development of linear arrays detectors in which elements and much circuitry required for their operation are same microelectronic package. To eliminate effects voltage offset variations pre-amplifiers signal processing system has been developed uses digital techniques.
