Implementation techniques for rewriting and narrowing
… query. It is possible to solve queries by narrowing, i.e. using the left-hand sides of rules to identify subterms with instances to which rules apply, and repeating the process until instantiations of the variables are constructed that can be shown by rewriting to satisfy the query.

Bioanalytical applications of fluorescence line-narrowing and non-line-narrowing spectroscopy interfaced with capillary electrophoresis and high-performance liquid chromatography
… interface CE and HPLC with fluorescence line-narrowing (FLN) and non-line-narrowing (NLN) spectroscopy for on-line detection and characterization. With these detection methods, one achieves the high sensitivity afforded by laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) (≈attomole) and high selectivity …

Narrowing the Margin: The Role of the Black Superhero
<p>Comic books can be understood as a visualization of popular culture in the U.S. For a long time these tales were formed by a white power fantasy, circulating in mainstream culture as over-exaggerated narrations. To give an example of white power fantasy, Dwayne McDuffie, a prolific writer in …

Narrowing the QSEN Competency Gap in New Graduate Registered Nurses
<p>This intervention is an evidence based, change of practice, quality improvement project that evaluates achievement of the six Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) competencies of new registered nurse graduates. No intervention with a similar focus was found in an extensive review of …

Attention, Probability and Fatigue in Decision Making (Stress, Arousal, Narrowing)
… investigate possible fatigue induced attentional narrowing. Although a significant main effect was found for blocks, no evidence was discovered to suggest that attention became increasingly selective under fatigue.

A Relevance Feedback-Based System For Quickly Narrowing Biomedical Literature Search Result
<p>The online literature is an important source that helps people find the information. The quick increase of online literature makes the manual search process for the most relevant information a very time-consuming task and leads to sifting through many results to find the relevant ones. The …

Computer-Assisted Analysis of Arterial Narrowing in Whole-Body Magnetic Resonance Angiography
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the UK. There is therefore much interest in the early staging of CVD to help improve patient outcomes through long-term treatments. Whole-body magnetic resonance angiography (WBMRA) offers a quantitative assessment …

Evaluation of the sonically induced narrowing of nuclear magnetic resonance spectra of solids
… a new technique (SINNMR, the sonically induced narrowing of the NMR spectra of solids) to remove line broadening effects in the NMR spectra of the solid state are reported within this thesis. SINNMR involves narrowing the NMR absorptions from solid particles by irradiating them with ultrasound …

Narrowing the Energy Performance Gap in Non-Domestic Buildings with Aspirational Sustainability Targets
The non-domestic building sector has in recent years witnessed a boom in the number of ostensibly ‘green’ buildings certified under the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Methodology (BREEAM) and similar rating schemes. Despite the proliferation of aspirationally sustainable …

Narrowing of the SLES1 Internal Reveals Complex Epistatic Interactions in the Suppression of Autoimmunity
Sle1 is a potent susceptibility locus for spontaneous systemic autoimmunity derived from the NZM2410 mouse strain. The NZW-derived suppressive modifier locus, Sles1, specifically prevents the spontaneous loss in tolerance mediated by the B6.Sle1 congenic. Sles1 had previously been fine-mapped to a …

Narrowing the Opportunity Gap: Developing Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy for Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students
<p>As per Breeze and Laborda (2016), a culturally responsive curriculum addresses the integration of students into a new culture, as bilingual education traditionally receives minimal interest from the authorities. Akkari and Loomis (1998) explain that bilingual education is socially and …

Sonically induced narrowing of the NMR spectra of solids and other novel NMR techniques
… an alternative method, sonically induced narrowing of the NMR spectra of solids (SINNMR) [4], has been reported which yields the same well resolved solid-state spectra as the classic solid-state NMR experiments, but which achieves the resolution of the broad-line spectra through the …

Narrowing the achievement gap through culturally responsive teaching : A case study of an urban catholic school
… like in an urban Catholic school as a means for narrowing the achievement gap between minority students and their White counterparts?” From this central research question, the study examined the following five sub-questions: 1. How do teachers define and understand culturally responsive teaching? …

A Legal History of Narrowing Ambitions: The Rise of Human Rights in Inter-American Regional Law and Organisation
This thesis examines the rise of human rights in inter-American regional law and organisation. It contends that, first, despite their present centrality, inter-American human rights were originally not a priority of American states. Rather, the codification and institutionalisation of …
