Fiona Patrick - Thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsych) by Patrick, F

“…The United Kingdom (UK) Government has recommended baseline cognitive testing of individuals with DS at the age of 30, to provide a comparison score for later identification of dementia. Buckinghamshire Community Learning Disability Health Team (Buckinghamshire CLDHT) wished to understand potential impact of introducing a baseline assessment as part of their dementia pathway through identifying: what approach other local services are using, potential impact on staffing requirements, the number of individuals in Buckinghamshire who would be eligible for baseline assessments, an audit of the current dementia pathway used by the service, and staff thoughts on introducing baseline assessments in this population. …”

Storage and eruption of silicic magma across the transition from dominantly effusive to caldera-forming states at an arc volcano (Santorini, Greece) by Druitt, Timothy H., Fabbro, Gareth N., Costa, Fidel

“…Based on previously published phase diagrams and melt inclusion volatile barometry for the Cape Riva dacite, we infer that in each case crystallization of plagioclase rims and orthopyroxene took place centuries to years prior to eruption owing to volatile-saturated decompression (± cooling) as the dacitic melts (plus entrained plagioclase antecrystic cores) ascended from the middle crust (10–16 km) into the upper crust (4–6 km), where they resided until eruption a few years to decades later. Between 39 and 25 ka, multiple small volumes of Therasia-type dacitic magma were emplaced in the upper crust, where they either froze or were subsequently erupted. …”
