Beyond the plate: Autism, food and sensory sensitivities

...types of processed foods – is consistency. In other words, foods like biscuits, chicken nuggets, crackers and crisps tend to look, taste and smell identical every time. The same can’t be said about fruits and vegetables, or freshly prepared, cooked food. From that perspective, it makes sense that many of the foods that are tolerable for autistic people with sensory...

...types of cells, including glial cells which have a variety of important functions and vastly outnumber neurons. Although the exact structure of neurons varies, they can generally be thought of as having three specific components. Firstly, they have an area responsible for receiving incoming messages (normally chemical) from other neurons – the dendrites. Secondly, they...

...types of tasks. This approach to accommodations recognises the social model of disability, which focuses on removing barriers for people and recognises that such barriers can be disabling. When it comes to ADHD, the application of such adaptations can sometimes overly emphasise enabling the person to be ‘more effective’ – for example by targeting concentration and...

The original photo could not be used due to copyright issues) in the hope that someone from elsewhere in the UK has experience of a similar ulcer and has a suggestion of any alternative dressings...

...type of equation is an algebraic equation where a letter, say ‘x’, represents a number i.e. in x + 2 = 5, ‘x’ represents 3 in order to make the equation true. Algebraic equations are solved by manipulating the equation so that the letter stands on its own. This is achieved in the equation x + 2 = 5 by the following two steps. x = 5 – 2 x = 3 The principal rule...

Fast Reactors and Thorium

...type described earlier. The term thermal refers to the slowing down of the fast neutrons emitted in nuclear fission (energies measured in MeV) to energies characteristic of the temperature of the reactor (measured in tens of meV). This slowing down is carried out by a material called the moderator and it happens by a simple transfer of momentum largely due to elastic...

If it runs mostly opinions or columns, pitch...

Modelling the planets

...types of modelling but we generally use it to mean simulating something with a computer program. We can’t make a model as complicated as nature is; nature is very beautiful but very complex. And geological time scales are very, very, very long; we can’t observe the processes a rock would go through in reality. We can take tiny, fingernail-sized pieces of rock and put...
