Uncertain trajectories in old age and implications for families and for palliative and end-of-life care policy and practice
(2019-10-03)The provision of high-quality end-of-life care for all is high on national (and international) agendas, but areas of unmet needs identified includes elderly people. This article draws on an autoethnographic account of the ... -
Uncertainties in direct neutron capture calculations due to nuclear structure models
(1997-08-04)The prediction of cross sections for nuclei far off stability is crucial in the field of nuclear astrophysics. For spherical nuclei close to the dripline the statistical model (Hauser-Feshbach) approach is not applicable ... -
Uncertainties in s-process nucleosynthesis in low-mass stars determined from Monte Carlo variations
(2018-08-21)The main s-process taking place in low-mass stars produces about half of the elements heavier than iron. It is therefore very important to determine the importance and impact of nuclear physics uncertainties on this process. ... -
Uncertainties in s-process nucleosynthesis in massive stars determined by Monte Carlo variations
(2017-08-01)The $s$-process in massive stars produces the weak component of the $s$-process (nuclei up to $A \sim 90$), in amounts that match solar abundances. For heavier isotopes, such as barium, production through neutron capture ... -
Uncertainties in the production of p nuclei in massive stars obtained from Monte Carlo variations
(2016-12-21)Nuclear uncertainties in the production of $p$ nuclei in massive stars have been quantified in a Monte Carlo procedure. Bespoke temperature-dependent uncertainties were assigned to different types of reactions involving ... -
Uncertainties in the Production of p Nuclides in SN Ia Determined by Monte Carlo Variations
(Springer Nature, 2019-08-20)Several thousand tracers from a 2D model of a thermonuclear supernova were used in a Monte Carlo post-processing approach to determine p-nuclide abundance uncertainties originating from nuclear physics uncertainties in the ... -
Uncertainties in the production of p nuclides in thermonuclear supernovae determined by Monte Carlo variations
(2018-03-01)Thermonuclear supernovae originating from the explosion of a white dwarf accreting mass from a companion star have been suggested as a site for the production of p nuclides. Such nuclei are produced during the explosion, ... -
Uncertainties in νp-process nucleosynthesis from Monte Carlo variation of reaction rates
(2019-10)It has been suggested that a νp-process can occur when hot, dense, and proton-rich matter is expanding within a strong flux of antineutrinos. In such an environment, proton-rich nuclides can be produced in sequences of ... -
Uncertainty in wage increase negotiation and decisions; An approach from flexible fuzzy inference system (FIS)
(Nova Science Publishers Inc., USA., 2013)Wage negotiation has always caused persistent problems in different organisations and on many occasions, there have been cases in which the entire workforce of countries embarked on industrial strikes that resulted from ... -
Uncertainty under MRP-planned manufacture: review and categorization
(2002)Extensive research can be found in coping with uncertainty under Material Requirements Planning (MRP)-planned manufacture, but the under-performance of many manufacturing enterprises is still reported. To examine the ... -
Unchained memory: Error patterns rule out chaining models of immediate serial recall
(1996-02)Many models of serial recall assume a chaining mechanism whereby each item associatively evokes the next in sequence. Chaining predicts that, when sequences comprise alternating confusable and non-confusable items, confusable ... -
"Uncle-Tommery" : Slavery and Romantic Medicine in Thomas Carlyle and Harriet Beecher Stowe

Uncovering Complexity in Everyday Practice: A Post Modern Study of Community Nursing Assessment
(2010-08-12)Much skilled nursing practice is described by words which at face value appear low-tech and self-explanatory. Despite being acknowledged as intrinsic to practice “nursing assessment” has few operational definitions. This ... -
Undefined Benefit: Fixing the UK Pensions System

Under-Construction or Facing Demolition? : Contrasting Views on English Teacher Professionalism from across a Professional Association
(2002)The effects of legislated change on teacher professionalism were researched with members of the Association for the Study of Primary Education (ASPE). Results from a survey and semi-structured interview suggest that many ... -
Undergraduate multiprofessional training : are students ready for it?
(2009)Intorduction: Multidisciplinary simulation training at undergraduate level is still very scarce due to curriculum and logistical issues. Over the last couple of years, HICESC has worked with staff from most health departments ... -
Undergraduate research involving human subjects should not be granted ethical approval unless it is likely to be of publishable quality
(2014-06)Small-scale research projects involving human subjects have been identified as being effective in developing critical appraisal skills in undergraduate students. In deciding whether to grant ethical approval to such projects, ... -
Undergraduate students' reflections on engaging in a student-staff collaborative study
(2018-03-20)This article provides insights into undergraduate students’ reflections on their learning from taking part in a student-staff collaborative study in their first year at a UK university. The study comprised a series of ... -
Undergraduate students' view of multidisciplinary working over a 3-year study on interprofessional simulation learning
(2010-12-01)Introduction: Interprofessional simulation training at undergraduate level has been tested (1) but is still very scarce due to curriculum and logistical issues. Our simulation specialists worked with staff from most health ...
