Living in Uncertain Times: trajectories to death in residential care homes
(2014-09-01)Abstract Background Older people living in care homes often have limited life expectancy. Practitioners and policymakers are increasingly questioning the appropriateness of many acute hospital admissions and the quality ... -
Living on a knife edge: The responses of people with physical health conditions to changes in disability benefits
(2018-11-09)This article documents the experiences of people with a physical health condition or disability who have experienced a loss of or change in disability benefits under the welfare reform programme in the United Kingdom. A ... -
Living on the margin : Understanding the experience of living and dying with frailty in old age
(2012-10)Within policy and practice there is an increasing interest in the care of frail elders. However understanding of the experience and challenges of living and dying with frailty in older age is currently undeveloped. Frailty ... -
Living through unsuccessful conception attempts: : a grounded theory of resilience among women undergoing fertility treatment
(2017-08-08)Objective: To provide a model of resilience among women undergoing fertility treatments, who experience repeated unsuccessful conception attempts. Background: Assisted reproductive treatment is emotionally and physically ... -
Living With a Severe Acquired Brain Injury as an Inpatient in a Neuro-Rehabilitation Unit: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
(2008-08-19)Background: Until recently, qualitative researchers have avoided interviewing participants with brain injuries because of the ethical and practical dilemmas which may arise and because it has been argued that they may not ... -
Living with Manic Experiences: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
(2010-05-27)Although psychological research into manic experiences is increasing, it remains an underresearched phenomenon. In particular, there is a dearth of qualitative research exploring these experiences in a clinical sample of ... -
Living with Robots: Investigating the Habituation Effect in Participants' Preferences During a Longitudinal Human-Robot Interaction Study
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2007) -
Living with young onset dementia: Reflections on recent developments, current discourse, and implications for policy and practice
(2020-05-05)Recent research on young onset dementia (formal diagnosis at age <65) evidences emerging work around pre-diagnosis, diagnosis and the need to improve post-diagnostic support for this group. An increased awareness of young ... -
LkH$α$ 225 (V1318 Cyg) South in Outburst
(2022-03-31)Magakian et al. called attention to the current bright state of LkHα 225 South, a well-known highly embedded,intermediate-mass young stellar object that over the past two decades has brightened visually from >20m to <13m.We ... -
LMI design of a direct yaw moment robust controller based on adaptive body slip angle observer for electric vehicles
(2013-11)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 ... -
Load reconstruction on a missile structure using the Pseudo-Inverse methods
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010-01-01)A missile during air carriage is subjected to high vibratory forces. These forces consequently impose high levels of stress on the attachment points to the aircraft A repetitive application of stress causes fatigue. However, ... -
Load sequence effect on fatigue damage
(2012)Reliable damage tolerant design of airframe structures relies on the accurate life prediction of fatigue cracks propagating from a detectable size to the critical size, which is challenging due to the complex load sequence ... -
Local analogues of high-redshift star-forming galaxies: integral field spectroscopy of green peas
(2017-10-21)We use integral field spectroscopy, from the SWIFT and Palm3K instruments, to perform a spatially-resolved spectroscopic analysis of four nearby highly star-forming `green pea' (GP) galaxies, that are likely analogues of ... -
Local and differential control of vegetative storage protein expression in response to herbivore damage in Arabidopsis thaliana
(2002-01-01)Vegetative storage proteins (VSPs) are thought to fulfil important nutritional roles during plant development and stress adaptation. Plant responses to mechanical wounding and herbivore damage include an activation of VSP ... -
Local and non-local controls on a persistent cold-air pool in the Arve River Valley
(2020-02-28)A numerical model is used to simulate a persistent cold-air pool (PCAP) event that occurred in the section of the Arve River Valley around Passy in the French Alps. During this period, an upper-level ridge from the Atlantic ...
