The n(-)TOF facility at CERN: Performances and first physics results
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2005)The neutron Time of Flight (n_TOF) facility at CERN is a source of a wide-range (1 eV <E-n <250 MeV) flux of neutrons, generated by spallation of 20-GeV/c protons onto a solid lead target. The goal of the n_TOF is to provide ... -
The (n, α) reaction in the s-process branching point 59Ni
(2014-06)The (n, α) reaction in the radioactive 59Ni is of relevance in nuclear astrophysics as 59Ni can be considered as the first branching point in the astrophysical s-process. Its relevance in nuclear technology is especially ... -
The (n,gamma) cross sections of the p-process nuclei Se-74 and Sr-84 at kT=25 keV
(2005-07-25)The formation of the isotopes on the proton-rich side of the valley of stability cannot be ascribed to neutron capture reactions in the r- or s-processes. These nuclei are produced in the p process, which presumably takes ... -
n_TOF Experiment: Past, Present And Future
(American Institute of Physics (AIP), 2009)The neutron Time-of-Flight facility at CERN was built to measure the neutron capture and fission cross sections. A short description of the facility, the detectors and the data analysis techniques will be illustrated. A ... -
The n_TOF Total Absorption Calorimeter for neutron capture measurements at CERN
(2009-09-21)The n_TOF Collaboration has built and commissioned a high-performance detector for (n, gamma) measurements called the Total Absorption Calorimeter (TAC). The TAC was especially designed for measuring neutron capture ... -
Nachhaltigkeit am Kantinen-Teller
(2013)In öffentlichen Einrichtungen nimmt das Bewusstsein dafür zu, dass gesün-dere, saisonale und frisch zubereitete Gerichte, deren Zutaten aus biologi-schem Anbau stammen und unter fairen Bedingungen produziert wurden,einen ... -
Nail swelling as a pre-formulation screen for the selection and optimisation of ungual penetration enhancers
(2007-12)Introduction. Targeting drug treatment to fungal infections that reside within or below the nail plate is problematic due to the highly restrictive barrier of the human nail. To optimise topical formulations for ungual ... -
Nano-CuO inhibited voltage-gated sodium current of hippocampal CA1 neurons via reactive oxygen species but independent from G-proteins pathway
(2011)The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of nano-CuO on voltage-gated sodium current (INa) in hippocampal CA1 neurons. The results suggested that nano-CuO inhibited amplitudes of INa currents and prolonged peak ... -
Nanocrystalline diamond as an electronic material : an impedance spectroscopic study and Hall effect measurement study
(2010)Nanocrystalline diamond (NCD) has been grown using a nanodiamond seeding technique, leading to a dense form of this material, with grain sizes around 100 nm. The electrical properties of both intrinsic and lightly boron-doped ... -
Nanomaterials as antimicrobials
(Wiley, 2011-12-09)The chapter considered the use of nano-particulate metals and metal oxides as antimicrobial agents that have the potential to provide an additional functionality to polymeric materials. -
Nanoparticles in urban air : A very small problem
(Inst of Environment & Health, Cranfield University, 2008)The human body is exposed to atmospheric pollutants on a daily basis. Breathing is the most effective route of airborne contaminant entry into the human body (BéruBé́ et al., 2008), meaning our lungs and airways take the ... -
Nanostructured TiC1-X-TiB2 Composites Obtained by Metastability Processing
(TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS LTD, 2007)Non-oxide ceramic nanostructured powders are synthesized through metastable transformation processing based on the Self-propagating High-temperature Synthesis (SHS) process followed by quenching. Binary systems like the ... -

Narrative Accounts of Family Caregivers of Adults Diagnosed with Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder
(2012-06-07)The experiences of family caregivers of adults diagnosed with Non-Epileptic Attack Disorder (NEAD) are under-researched. To address this lack of research and the Department of Health’s (DOH) aim to focus on the experiences ... -
Narrative accounts of parenthood following the death of a child to muscular dystrophy
(2018-03-05)Rationale and Aims: Research into the lived experience of parenting children with muscular dystrophy has typically addressed key transitions along the disease trajectory, such as diagnosis or end-of-life care. Families ... -
A Narrative Analysis of Stories Told in the Windrush Generation and Descendants of Windrush Generation
(2023-09-26)Background: Research concerning intergenerational trauma has often looked at a historic event(s) experienced in one generation and the effect of this on subsequent generations. This excludes ongoing, cumulative experiences ... -
Narrative and folk psychology
(2009)There has been a long-standing interest in the putative roles that various so-called 'theory of mind'abilities might play in enabling us to understand and enjoy narratives. Of late, as our understanding of the complexity ... -
The narrative construction of our (social) world: steps towards an interactive learning environment for children with autism
(2007)Children with autism exhibit a deficit in narrative comprehension which adversely impacts upon their social world. The authors’ research agenda is to develop an interactive software system which promotes an understanding ...
