Formalism for inclusion of measured reaction cross sections in stellar rates including uncertainties and its application to neutron capture in the s-process
(2012-08-10)A general formalism to include experimental reaction cross sections into calculations of stellar rates is presented. It also allows us to assess the maximally possible reduction of uncertainties in the stellar rates by ... -
The formation and evolution of low-surface-brightness galaxies
(2019-05-01)Our statistical understanding of galaxy evolution is fundamentally driven by objects that lie above the surface-brightness limits of current wide-area surveys (μ ∼23 mag arcsec -2). While both theory and small, deep surveys ... -
Formation and measurement of process induced disorder during the manufacture of inhalation medicines
(2011-07-01)The development and manufacture of inhalation medicines presents a number of complex challenges to the pharmaceutical scientist. Of paramount importance is delivering the drug particles with an optimal size for deposition ... -
Formation and microstructure of (Ti, V)C-reinforeed iron-matrix composites using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis
(2008-03-01)The combustion synthesis of (Ti, V)C-reinforced iron-matrix composites from elemental powders was examined. Examination using scanning electron microscopy indicated that two types of carbide particles were formed having a ... -
Formation and purification of tailored liposomes for drug delivery using a module-based micro continuous-flow system
(2017-09-21)Liposomes are lipid based bilayer vesicles that can encapsulate, deliver and release low-soluble drugs and small molecules to a specific target site in the body. They are currently exploited in several nanomedicine ... -
Formation of a tidal dwarf galaxy in the interacting system Arp 245 (NGC 2992/93)
(2000)Among the various phenomena observed in interacting galaxies is the ejection due to tidal forces of stellar and gaseous material into the intergalactic medium and its subsequent rearranging which can lead to the formation ... -
The formation of cores in galaxies across cosmic time - the existence of cores is not in tension with the ΛCDM paradigm
(2024-02-01)The 'core-cusp' problem is considered a key challenge to the ΛCDM paradigm. Haloes in dark matter only simulations exhibit 'cuspy' profiles, where density continuously increases towards the centre. However, the dark matter ... -
Formation of silicon carbide whiskers and their microstructure
(1991-01-01)Thermodynamic and kinetic conditions for the formation of SiC whiskers are established. The mechanism of their nucleation and growth are studied and, on this basis, the magnitude of the thermally activated barrier is ... -
Formation of slowly rotating early-type galaxies via major mergers: a resolution study
(2010)We study resolution effects in numerical simulations of gas-rich and gas-poor major mergers, and show that the formation of slowly rotating elliptical galaxies often requires a resolution that is beyond the present-day ... -
The formation of stars
(2005)We review the process of star formation, detailing the theories underlying the stability of molecular clouds and their collapse to protostars, and discussing the empirical evidence and models which inform them. We give ... -
Formation of Stars and Star Clusters in Colliding Galaxies
(2013-04-03)Mergers are known to be essential in the formation of large scale structures and to have a significant role in the history of galaxy formation and evolution. Besides a morphological transformation, mergers induce important ... -
A formation timescale of the Galactic halo from Mg isotopes in dwarf stars
(2018-04-04)We determine magnesium isotopic abundances of metal-poor dwarf stars from the galactic halo, to shed light on the onset of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) star nucleosynthesis in the galactic halo and constrain the timescale ... -
A Formative Decade : Ireland in the 1920s
(Irish Academic Press, 2015-03)In the aftermath of the Great War, Europe’s empires crumbled and a patchwork of new nation states emerged across the continent. As the map of Europe was being redrawn after 1918, Ireland too stood on the threshold of great ... -
Formative Usability Evaluation of WiGlove - A Home-based Rehabilitation Device for Hand andWrist Therapy after Stroke
(ACM Press, 2023-03-13)WiGlove is a passive dynamic orthosis aimed at home-based poststroke rehabilitation of the hand and wrist. This paper highlights results from WiGlove's formative evaluation as the first step towards its deployment. In this ... -
Forming Concepts of Mozart and Homer Using Short-Term and Long-Term Memory: A Computational Model Based on Chunking
(2020-08-01)A fundamental issue in cognitive science concerns the mental processes that underlie the formation and retrieval of concepts in the short-term and long-term memory (STM and LTM respectively). This study advances Chunking ... -
Forms of bovine pepsinogen in plasma from cattle with three different 'syndromes' of Ostertagia ostertagi infection
(1988-01)Calves infected orally with third stage larvae of Ostertagia ostertagi or infected with adult O ostertagi by direct transplantation into the abomasum had raised plasma pepsinogen activity, as did four-year-old dairy cattle ... -
The Formulaic and Embryonic Dimensions of Knowledge Management Strategy : A Social Practice Perspective
(2011)Knowledge Management (KM) literature is populated with a variety of perspectives, prescriptions and studies of practice, which can be complex, contradictory and confusing to practitioners who seek to make sense of, and ...
