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 ... -
Disaster in London - The LAS case study
(IEEE COMPUTER SOC, 1999)This case study reviews the system and the processes that led to the botched implementation. The London Ambulance Service have spent the best parr of the last fourteen years attempting to computerise their despatch system. ... -
Disc frequencies for brown dwarfs in the Upper Scorpius OB association : implications for brown dwarf formation theories
(2012-03-01)We have investigated the brown dwarf (BD) and stellar disc fractions in the Upper Scorpius OB Association (USco) and compared them with several other young regions. We have compiled the most complete sample of of all ... -
Disc-shaped polyoxyethylene glycol glycerides gel nanoparticles as novel protein delivery vehicles
(2015-12-30)Disc-shaped nanoparticles with high aspect ratios have been reported to show preferential cellular uptake in vitro by mammalian cells. However, engineering and producing such disc-shaped nanoparticles are often complex. ... -
Disciplinary Action Against UK Health Professionals for Sexual Misconduct: A Matter of Reputational Damage or Public Safety?
(2022-02-22)A B S T R A C T: The regulation of health care professionals in the United Kingdom (UK) falls under the authority of one of nine General Councils, each of which has a statutory duty to ensure the fitness to practice of a ... -
Discordant inflammation and pain in early and established rheumatoid arthritis : Latent Class Analysis of Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Network and British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register data
(2016-12-13)Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity is often measured using the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28). We aimed to identify and independently verify subgroups of people with RA that may be discordant ... -
Discourse analysis, trust and marketing
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2013-11)This chapter demonstrates the relevance of looking at discursive construction of trust in the marketing context. Consumers and users of goods and services want confidence in the transaction and this can build into ongoing ... -
A discourse of caring: A case study of male nurses’ discourse and identity construction in the United Kingdom and New Zealand

Discourses of ‘equivalence’ in HE and notions of student engagement : resisting the neoliberal university
(2014)There is no shortage of analysis of marketization and the theorizing of the student as consumer/customer and how this impacts on notions of student engagement. This compelling - but largely academic - analysis forms the ... -
Discover – Deepen – Do : a 3D Pedagogical Approach for Developing Newly Qualified Teachers as Professional Learners
(2012)This article presents a strategy for teaching newly qualified teachers (NQTs) during their first year of teaching, developed by teacher educators from the University of Hertfordshire School of Education. The strategy ... -
Discovering interacting binaries with Hα surveys
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)A deep (R ~ 19.5) photographic Hα Survey of the southern Galactic Plane was recently completed using the UK Schmidt Telescope at the AAO. In addition, we have recently started a similar, CCD-based survey of the northern ... -
Discovering predictive variables when evolving cognitive models
(2005)A non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm is used to evolve models of learning from di erent theories for multiple tasks. Correlation analysis is performed to identify parameters which affect performance on specific tasks; ... -
Discovery and atmospheric characterization of giant planet Kepler-12b : An inflated radius outlier
(2011-11-01)We report the discovery of planet Kepler-12b (KOI-20), which at 1.695 ± 0.030 R is among the handful of planets with super-inflated radii above 1.65 R. Orbiting its slightly evolved G0 host with a 4.438 day period, this ... -
Discovery and Characterisation of Ultra-Cool Dwarfs in Large Scale Surveys
