The use of metaphor in district nursing : maintaining a balance
(2001)Aim of the study. To explore with practitioners and others, their priorities for and definitions of district nursing. Background/Rationale. This paper discusses whether the use of metaphor in nursing literature and research ... -
The use of metrics in connectionist psychological models
(University of Hertfordshire, 1993)Models of psychological and cognitive phenomena that are based on connectionist processing have recently been described. These include Norris's back propagation model, Schyns's model based on Kohonen nets and Hinton and ... -
Use of mixed gas pneumoperitoneum during minimally invasive surgery: a systematic review of human and mouse modelled laparoscopic interventions
(2024-05-17)The formation of pneumoperitoneum involves the process of inflating the peritoneal cavity during laparoscopic and typically uses CO2 as the insufflation gas. This review aims to identify ideal gas mixtures for establishing ... -
Use of molecular methods for the detection of fungal spores
(Springer Nature, 2009)Traditional methods for the isolation and identification of fungal spores can be time-consuming and laborious. DNA-based methods for fungal detection can be used to detect the spores of plant-pathogenic fungi. Air borne ... -
Use of multimedia in a public information system
(University of Hertfordshire, 1993)The work described in this paper is being carried out as part of an EC funded pan-European project under the TIDE initiative - MODEMA (Modelling for the Disabled in a working Environment - a Multiperspective Approach). The ... -
The Use of Nano Polymeric Self-Assemblies Based on Novel Amphiphilic Polymers for Oral Hydrophobic Drug Delivery
(2012)To investigate the use of nano self-assemblies formed by polyallylamine (PAA) modified with 5 or 10% mole fluorenylmethoxy carbonyl (Fmoc5/10), dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl (Dansyl5/10) and 5% mole cholesteryl group ... -
Use of neural networks in brain SPECT to diagnose Alzheimer's disease
(1996-02)The usefulness of artificial neural networks in the classification of Tc-99m-HMPAO SPECT axial brain scans was investigated in a study group of Alzheimer's disease patients and age-matched normal subjects. Methods: The ... -
The use of new psychoactive substances (NPS) in young people and their role in mental health care : a systematic review
(2019-12-02)Introduction: Over the past 10 years, a large number of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) have entered the recreational drug scenario. NPS intake has been associated with health-related risks, and especially so for vulnerable ... -

USE OF NOVEL PSYCHOACTIVE SUBSTANCES (NPS) OF NATURAL ORIGIN: AN INTERNATIONAL SURVEY
(2020-11-18)Aim NPS recreational use are mostly derived and modified from constituents of natural origin. Here we investigated the motivation of natural NPS use, perception of potential associated health risks and demographic factors ... -
The use of optical differential scanning calorimetry to investigate ibuprofen miscibility in polymeric films for topical drug delivery
(2021-10-14)Understanding drug miscibility in pharmaceutically relevant systems is essential for the development and optimisation of pharmaceutical dosage forms. This is particularly true for film forming systems which are designed ... -
The use of polymer blends to improve stability and performance of electrospun solid dispersions: The role of miscibility and phase separation
(2021-06-01)Solid dispersion-based nanofiber formulations of poorly soluble drugs prepared by electrospinning (ES) with a water-soluble polymer, can offer significant improvements in drug dissolution for oral drug administration. ... -
The Use of Pseudo-Inverse Methods in Reconstructing Loads on a Missile Structure
(2012)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. ... -
The use of Pursed Lips Breathing in stable chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a systematic review of the evidence
(2009)Objective: A systematic review was carried out to determine the evidence for teaching pursed lips breathing (PLB) to patients with stable COPD. Exertional dyspnoea is the single most important factor limiting function for ... -
Use of quercetin in animal feed : effects on the P-gp expression and pharmacokinetics of orally administrated enrofloxacin in chicken
(2018-03-13)Modulation of P-glycoprotein (P-gp, encoded by Mdr1) by xenobiotics plays central role in pharmacokinetics of various drugs. Quercetin has a potential to modulate P-gp in rodents, however, its effects on P-gp modulation ... -
Use of re-attempts measure for evaluating device test results of children with neurological impairments
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2014-06)Severely impaired children with Physical and Neurological Impairments (PNI) often have erratic test responses because of impairments. Very often even the binary (YES/NO) intention of a PNI child cannot be determined because ... -
