Angiographically proven coronary artery disease in scleroderma (2006)
Akram, M. R., Handler, C. E., Williams, M., Carulli, M. T., Andron, M., Black, C. M., ...
Objective. It has been suggested that macrovascular disease is more common in patients with scleroderma (SSc). We investigated the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in SSc using coronary...
Intranasal and inhaled fluticasone propionate for pollen-induced rhinitis and asthma (2005)
Nielsen, LP, Foresi, A, Van Cauwenberge, P, Tudoric, N, ...
Background: Studies suggest that nasal treatment might influence lower airway symptoms and function in patients with comorbid rhinitis and asthma. We investigated the effect of intranasal, inhaled...
Predictions of SAR polarimetry and InSAR coherence for a model wheat canopy (2005)
We investigate the potential for biophysical parameter retrieval using polarinietric, interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) by applying a coherent simulation technique to crop-like...
The contribution of PACRIM 11 to forest assessment in Queensland, Australia (2005)
Williams, M., Lucas, R., Milne, A., Lee, A., Moghaddam, M., Cronin, N.
This paper outlines the benefits of the 2000 PACRIM II NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) AIRSAR campaign to Australia in terms of understanding the potential opportunities of polarimetric SAR for...
The role of LiDAR data in understanding the relation between forest structure and SAR imagery (2005)
Lucas, R., Lee, A., Williams, M.
As part of the 2000 PACRIM II Mission to Australia, polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data were acquired near Injune, central Queensland, Australia. The primary purpose of the acquisition...
Is education immune from evidence base scrutiny? (2004)
Chipchase, L., Dalton, M., Williams, M., Scutter, S.
The authors discuss evidence-based practice in education and outline how to achieve an evidence-based approach to education (non- author abstract)
Weddle, D.L., Tithoff, P., Williams, M., Schuller, H.M.
Exocrine ductal carcinoma of the pancreas has been associated with smoking, and the tobacco-specific nitrosamine 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) causes this cancer type in...
Do physiological changes in pregnancy change defibrillation energy requirements? (2001)
Nanson, J., Elcock, D., Williams, M., Deakin, C. D.
Resuscitation during pregnancy is uncommon, with approximately 70 deaths occurring during pregancy in the UK per annum. Physiological changes during pregnancy may affect transthoracic impedance...
