BACKGROUND In the United Kingdom, The Health and Occupation Reporting network (THOR) collects incidence data on work-related illness. THOR data show that the health and social work sector generates a high proportion of case reports. This study analyses the most recent data for the health and social work sector, from 2002 to 2003. METHODS Cases returned to the Occupational Physicians Reporting...

The THOR-05F is a new anthropomorphic test device with many notable features, including a biofidelic neck design with built-in lordosis that segregates load paths within the cervical spine. Static air bag deployment tests were carried out with the dummy positioned in the NHTSA-1 (chin on module) driver Out-Of-Position (OOP) configuration. A set of latemodel two-stage air bag modules were used i...

In client/server systems, server integrity can be maintained by disallowing direct client access to server data and requiring communication through well-defined interfaces. Typically, this communication requires expensive cross-domain calls, or even more expensive network communication. The main goal of this thesis is to create a system with fast, safe client/server access by allowing the serve...

BACKGROUND An estimated 3200 UK general practitioners (GPs) practise occupational medicine on a sessional basis. AIM To assess the educational needs of GPs practising occupational medicine and participating in The Health and Occupational Reporting (THOR) network. METHODS A questionnaire survey of GPs participating in a national reporting scheme, recording occupational ill-health from genera...

Across languages, clauses containing descriptions of similar events are likely to include the same conceptual components, but these may be distributed differently across the constituents of the clause. Compare, for instance, the English description of a directed motion event in (1a) to its most natural French translation (1b). Both these sentences contain linguistic units expressing the concept...

Low-coverage genomes (LCGs) are becoming an increasingly important source of data for phylogenetic studies. However, assembly of these genomes is time consuming, difficult and lags behind sequence generation. THOR is a fast, stringent application for targeted reconstruction of sequence orthologs in unassembled LCGs. Using a 4x coverage set of mouse whole-genome sequence reads, THOR could partia...

We use data on interbank loans and the core equilibrium concept to examine the efficiency of an overnight interbank lending market, and the bargaining power of its participants. In the specific case of Canada’s Large-Value Transfer System, we show that while the market is fairly efficient, systemic inefficiency persists throughout our sample. The level of inefficiency matches distinct phases of...

Hu antigen C (HuC) has three RNA-binding domains (RBDs). The N-terminal two, RBD1 and RBD2, are linked in tandem and bind to the AU-rich elements (AREs) in the 3'-untranslated region of particular mRNAs. The solution structures of HuC RBD1 and RBD2 were determined by NMR methods. The HuC RBD1 and RBD2 structures are quite similar to those of Sxl RBD1 and RBD2, respectively. The individual RBDs ...
