Exploring understanding of the term nursing assessment : a mixed method review of the literature
(2010)Background: Much skilled nursing practice is described by words that at face value appear low-tech and self-explanatory. Despite being intrinsic to practice, the term "nursing assessment" has few operational definitions. ... -
Exploring Vaping Patterns and Weight Management-Related Concerns among Adolescents and Young Adults: A Systematic Review
(2024-05-14)Background: Electronic cigarettes or vapes are battery-operated devices that heat a liquid, often containing nicotine and flavouring substances, to produce an inhalable aerosol. Despite being used as an alternative to ... -
Exploring Why Organisations Differ in Board Configuration: Do Organisations’ Age, Size and their Years Being Public Matter? Findings from Greek Listed Manufacturing Organisations
(British Academy of Management (BAM), 2019-09-05)In this paper building upon several theories (agency theory, stakeholder theory and resource dependence theory) and by utilising data from 161 Greek manufacturing companies that were listed in the Athens Stock Exchange on ... -
Explosive H-burning, the rp-process, and X-ray bursts
(IOP Publishing Ltd., 1998)The major astrophysical events which involve explosive H-burning are novae and type I X-ray bursts. Both are related to binary stellar systems with hydrogen accretion from a binary companion onto a compact object, and the ... -
Explosive nucleosynthesis and the astrophysical r-process
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 1998)We give an overview of chemical equilibria in explosive burning and the role which neutron and/or proton separation energies play. We focus then on the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process) which encounters unstable ... -
Explosive nucleosynthesis close to the drip lines
(1998-11)We give an overview of explosive burning and the role which neutron and/or proton separation energies play. We focus then on the rapid neutron capture process (r-process) which encounters unstable nuclei with neutron ... -
Explosive nucleosynthesis in massive Pop III stars and abundances in metal-poor stars and M87
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2001)In order to understand the elemental abundance pattern observed in galaxies and clusters of galaxies of various metallicity, we investigate stability, evolution and explosion of massive population III stars. We find the ... -
An Exponential Lower Bound on OBDD Refutations for Pigeonhole Formulas
(2009)Haken proved that every resolution refutation of the pigeonhole formula has at least exponential size. Groote and Zantema proved that a particular OBDD computation of the pigeonhole formula has an exponential size. Here ... -
Exponential multistability of memristive Cohen-Grossberg neural networks with stochastic parameter perturbations
(2020-12-01)Due to instability being induced easily by parameter disturbances of network systems, this paper investigates the multistability of memristive Cohen-Grossberg neural networks (MCGNNs) under stochastic parameter perturbations. ... -
Exposing the background : Deep and local
(Palgrave Macmillan, 2012)Humans engage with the world and one another in sophisticated ways that (arguably) creatures lacking language cannot. Language (again, arguably) enables us to communicate meaningfully, to form contentful attitudes and ... -
Exposing the human nude phenotype [4]

Exposure to ambient air pollution and elevated blood levels of gamma-glutamyl transferase in a large Austrian cohort
(2023-07-20)Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) is related to oxidative stress and an indicator for liver damage. We investigated the association between air pollution and GGT in a large Austrian cohort (N = 116,109) to better understand ... -
Exposure to organophosphorus compounds : best practice in managing timely, effective emergency responses
(2023-12-01)Increasing indications, reports and studies demonstrate that threats from the deliberate use of chemical weapons remain high and are evolving. One of the deadliest classes of chemical weapons are the organophosphorus nerve ... -
Expressing a policy
(University of Hertfordshire, 1996)Policies, in particular security policies, are typically modelled using access control lists. This technique is not sufficient to model the full 'semantics' of a policy, especially when it applies to a task executed in a ...
