Performance of the Hough Transform Tracking Method for the FOPI CDC (2007)

Best Herrmann Gsi, D. Best, N. Herrmann

Tracking with the Hough Transform for the Central Drift Chamber of the (2007)

Detector At Sis, D. Best, A. Gobbi, N. Herrmann

In this way every hit defines a line. All these lines are mutually intersected. The intersection points indicate the center coordinates of the circular particle track. The intersection points are...

Detoxification in rehabilitation in England: effective continuity of care or unhappy bedfellows? (2007)

Meier, P.S., Best, D., Day, E.

There is evidence that residential detoxification alone does not provide satisfactory treatment outcomes and that outcomes are significantly enhanced when clients completing residential...

Participant Views of an on-line program supporting rural pharmacy preceptors (2007)

Taylor, Susan, Rose, M, Best, D, Marriott, J, Dalton, L, Bull, R, ...

Introduction: In 2001 a consortium was formed between four Australian universities to develop, implement and evaluate an on-line program designed to prepare rural pharmacists for preceptorship. As...

Programme factors that influence completion of residential treatment (2006)

Meier, P.S., Best, D.

The aim of this study was to predict retention in residential rehabilitation (RR) services for drug users, focusing on service provider factors. A national postal survey of RR services in England and...

Search for decays of $B^0 \to e^+ e ^-, B^0 \to \mu^+ \mu^-, B^0 \to e^{pm} \mu{mp}$ (2005)
