Direct neutron capture cross sections of Ni-62 in the s-process energy range
(2002-08)Direct neutron capture on Ni-62 is calculated in the DWBA and the Maxwellian averaged cross sections and astrophysical reaction rates in the energy range relevant for s-process nucleosynthesis are given. It is confirmed ... -
Direct neutron capture for magic-shell nuclei
(1996-01)In neutron capture for magic-shell nuclei the direct reaction mechanism can be important and may even dominate. As an example we investigated the reaction Ca-48(n, gamma)Ca-49 for projectile energies below 250 keV in a ... -
Direct NMR analysis of cannabis water extracts and tinctures and semi-quantitative data on delta9-THC and delta9-THC-acid
(2008-01)Cannabis sativa L. is the source for a whole series of chemically diverse bioactive compounds that are currently under intensive pharmaceutical investigation. In this work, hot and cold water extracts as well as ethanol/water ... -
Direct perception in the intersubjective context
(2008)This paper, in opposition to the standard theories of social cognition found in psychology and cognitive science, defends the idea that direct perception plays an important role in social cognition. The two dominant theories, ... -
Direct sequencing of PCR products with DNA-binding proteins

Direct somatic embryogenesis and plant regeneration from mature sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) zygotic cotyledons
(1997)An in vitro protocol has been developed for direct somatic embryogenesis of zygotic cotyledons from mature sugarbeet (Beta vulgaris L.) embryos. Explants were sequentially cultured on modified Murashige and Skoog (MS) ... -
Direct torque control of multilevel SVPWM inverter in variable speed SCIG-based wind energy conversion system
(2015-08-01)Direct torque control (DTC) theory has been successfully used in a variety of high performance industrial AC drives. This paper presents the application of DTC space vector modulation (DTC-SVM) to two and three level voltage ... -
Direct Yaw-Moment Control Evaluation of an In-Wheel-Motored Electric Vehicle Based on Body Slip Angle Fuzzy Observer
(2009-05)A stabilizing observer-based control algorithm for an in-wheel-motored vehicle is proposed, which generates direct yaw moment to compensate for the state deviations. The control scheme is based on a fuzzy rule-based body ... -
Directed Acyclic Graphs
(2015-12-16)This source code implements a unified framework for pre-processing Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) to lookup reachability between two vertices as well as compute the least upper bound of two vertices in constant time. Our ... -
Directing the students’ mind games : A game theoretical view of the learning process
(2014-03)Experimental data consistently shows that the students’ beliefs about their own academic ability have a significant effect on their performance and their level of engagement. The aim of this paper is to offer an original ... -
The Direction of Union Mergers in the United States : The Rise of Conglomerate Unionism
(2009-12)Trade union mergers have become common throughout the industrial world. In the United States, since the late 1970s, these have become increasingly multi-jurisdictional. Beginning in the 1990s, the trend has been dominated ... -
Directional hearing in a silicon cricket
(2007-02)Phonotaxis is the ability to orient towards or away from sound sources. Crickets can locate conspecifics by phonotaxis to the calling (mating) song they produce, and can evade bats by negative phonotaxis from echolocation ... -
Directors Pay Regulation: One Goal Two Approaches
(2016-05-09)Purpose This paper aims to examine the two different approaches adopted in the UK to regulate directors’ remuneration. The paper also aims to explore the two approaches to understand which one better regulates directors’ ... -
Directors’ Excessive Pay and Shareholder Derivative Action
(2015)Directors’ pay emerged as a contentious issue in the UK in the early 1990s, beginning with the privatisation of some utility companies. The directors of privatised utility companies (e.g. Mr Brown, the then CEO of British ... -
The dirty hand in the latex glove.” A study of hand hygiene compliance when gloves are worn.
(2011-12-01)Background and objective. Wearing of gloves reduces transmission of organisms by healthcare workers’ hands but is not a substitute for hand hygiene. Results of previous studies have varied as to whether hand hygiene is ... -
(Dis)gracefully navigating the challenges of diversity learning and teaching – reflections on the Social Graces as a diversity training tool
(2017-06-01)The Social Graces framework is 25 years old. In this paper we consider the Social Graces as a teaching tool. Roper-Hall, Burnham and their colleagues have created a recognisable and exible tool and have guided us toward ... -
Disadvantage in English seaside resorts : A typology of deprived neighbourhoods
(2018-12-01)Socio-economic disadvantage experienced by residents of English seaside resorts has been growing over the last decade, and academic and practice-based research is providing better insights into the causes, internal dynamics ... -
Disaggregating composite food codes in the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey food composition databank
(2010-11)Objective: To disaggregate composite food codes used in the UK National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) into their individual food components in order to provide a more complete estimate of intake at the individual food ... -
The disappearance of the 1667-MHz OH maser in IRAS 17436+5003 (HD 161796)
(2003)We report the diminution of the 1667-MHz OH maser in the post-asymptotic giant branch star IRAS 17436+5003, by a factor of ≳17 over a period of ≲12 yr, from observations with MERLIN. This circumstellar maser was detected ... -
Disappointment as an Evolutionary Force
(2008)An alternative, less abstract approach to standard evolutionary game theory is proposed; it is assumed that evolutionary forces do not necessarily favour expected utility maximising strategies per se, but instead, that ...
