Various techniques and procedures for refining ERS-1 orbits
The satellite ERS-1 was launched in July 1991 in a period of high solar activity. Sparse laser tracking and the failure of the experimental microwave system (PRARE) compounded the orbital errors which resulted from mismodelling of atmospheric density and hence surface forces. Three attempts are …

Rim-Mounted Reconfigurable Surfaces for Interference Nulling in Focus-Fed Axisymmetric Reflector Antenna Systems
… the use of an electronic reconfigurable surface (ERS) attached to an axisymmetric paraboloidal reflector antenna to mitigate interference through nulling for radio astronomy applications. The ERS is a reflectarray that consists of multiple elements, which can be electronically controlled to modify …

The effect of electronic response systems : relationship between perceptions and class performance, and difference by gender and academic ability
… on effectiveness of Electronic Response Systems (ERS) or “clickers” in a college classroom by comparing student assessment performance between two sections (n = 41 & 42) of a Biblical Studies course in a small evangelical university. Student characteristics were virtually identical in the classes, …

Nonemergency visits to the emergency room : revelations from the COVID era.
Emergency rooms ("ERs") in the United States ("US") must see all patients regardless of their ability to pay. Many uninsured patients that cannot pay for healthcare treatments tend to use ERs for primary care. This contributes to excessive healthcare costs in the US, financial challenges for …

Comprehensive Simulation for End -Result Specification Development
… to analyze specification risk and to develop ERS systems with user-managed risk levels. Modeling and simulation of Illinois ERS highway project data clearly demonstrated that the magnitude and relative amounts of production and measurement variability play a key role in ERS risk. A novel …

Understanding factors that influence uptake to exercise referral schemes: A qualitative study of participant experiences
… are well documented. Exercise referral schemes (ERS) promote PA and have been shown to have a positive impact on chronically ill and sedentary individuals, although some individuals do not uptake ERS once referred by a health professional (HP). Understanding barriers and facilitators to these …

Enemies, partners or friends? Employers perspectives on conflict management by employee representatives in Europe.
… Elected and protected employee representatives (ERs), engage in social dialogue with management. This relation however is often conflictive. In this dissertation, we aim to gain a deeper understanding on the conflicts and conflict behaviors of ERs, particularly as perceived by their counterpart …

Cognitive Predictors and Behavioural Mediators of Vulnerability-Specific Stress Generation in Depressed Adults
… schemas, excessive reassurance seeking (ERS), avoidance, depression and anxiety. Approximately three months later, participants were administered the Beck Depression Inventory-II, a diagnostic interview, and a semi-structured contextual interview that assessed the number and severity of …

The Impact of Race-Related Social Experiences on Black Fathers' Ethnic-Racial Socialization of their Children
Ethnic Racial Socialization (ERS) is the process Black parents utilize to convey attitudes and beliefs about the meaning of race and ethnicity, teach their children what it means to be an ethnic/racial minority and equip their children with the skills to cope with racial discrimination (Neblett, …

Perceived Ethnic-Racial Socialization and Parenting Styles on Asian American College Students' Depressive Symptoms
The present study examines how perceived mothers’ culturally relevant parenting styles and ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) are associated with depressive symptoms among 280 Asian American college students (M =19.53, SD = 1.57). We hypothesized that perceived ERS will predict depressive symptoms, …

Excessive reassurance-seeking, interpersonal rejection, rejection sensitivity and depressive symptoms: an intervention focusing on mediating mechanisms
… to experimentally test an established interpersonal theory of depression and a new cognitive-behavioral theory of depression. Coyne’s interpersonal theory suggests that dysphoric individuals engage in excessive reassurance-seeking to assuage fears of being abandoned (Coyne, 1976), which then …

Evaluation of the ‘Live Active’ exercise referral scheme
Exercise referral schemes (ERSs) are a common approach to physical activity (PA) promotion in the United Kingdom (UK). They aim to reduce levels of physical inactivity amongst adults with long-term health conditions or risk factors.There are over 600 ERSs in the UK, but the evidence base for their …

A study of event-related electrocortical oscillatory dynamics associated with cued motor-response inhibition during performance of the Go/NoGo task within a sample of prenatally alcohol-exposed children and age-matched controls
Fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASDs) are a spectrum of disorders that occur due to prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE). Response inhibition refers to the ability to inhibit/suppress a prepotent behavioural tendency set in motion during an experimental task. Our research explored neocortical …

Bio-interfaced Nanolaminate Surface-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Substrates
Surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) is a powerful analytical technique that combines molecular specificity of vibrational fingerprints offered by Raman spectroscopy with single-molecule detection sensitivity from plasmonic hotspots of noble metal nanostructures. Label-free SERS has attracted …

Global non-dynamic refinement of radial orbit error for altimetric earth satellites
… correlated and linearly combined parameters. The feasibility of the radial reduction procedure is established upon application to the three day repeat orbit of SEASAT. The concept of arc aggregates is devised as a means of extending the method to incorporate longer durations, such as the …

Environmental Signals in Satellite Altimeter Data
… a first land cross calibration between the ERS-1 and ERS-2 sigma0 data from Tandem Mission is described. These calibration areas are also used in an attempt to assess the anomaly in ERS-2 sigma0 reported by the European Centre for Medium range Weather forecasting during January 2000. Having …
