UCLALES-SALSA v1.0: a large-eddy model with interactive sectional microphysics for aerosol, clouds and precipitation
(Copernicus GmbH, 2017)Challenges in understanding the aerosol–cloud interactions and their impacts on global climate highlight the need for improved knowledge of the underlying physical processes and feedbacks as well as their interactions with ... -
UDP-sugar accumulation drives hyaluronan synthesis in breast cancer
(Elsevier BV, 2018)Increased uptake of glucose, a general hallmark of malignant tumors, leads to an accumulation of intermediate metabolites of glycolysis. We investigated whether the high supply of these intermediates promotes their flow ... -
Ultra-strong nonlinear optical processes and trigonal warping in MoS2 layers
(Springer Nature, 2017)Nonlinear optical processes, such as harmonic generation, are of great interest for various applications, e.g., microscopy, therapy, and frequency conversion. However, high-order harmonic conversion is typically much less ... -
Ultra-thin Bloch-surface-wave-based reflector at telecommunication wavelength
(The Optical Society, 2017)We experimentally demonstrate the optical properties of gratings engraved in a single-mode waveguide fabricated on top of a dielectric multilayer platform. The structure can be approached as a reflector for Bloch-surface ... -
Ultra-Thin Pyrocarbon Films as a Versatile Coating Material
(Springer Nature, 2017)The properties and synthesis procedures of the nanometrically thin pyrolyzed photoresist films (PPF) and the pyrolytic carbon films (PCF) were compared, and a number of similarities were found. Closer examination showed ... -
Ultrafast zero-bias photocurrent and terahertz emission in hybrid perovskites
(Springer Nature, 2018)Methylammonium lead iodide is a benchmark hybrid organic perovskite material used for low-cost printed solar cells with a power conversion efficiency of over 20%. Nevertheless, the nature of light–matter interaction in ... -
Ultrasensitive and recyclable superstructure of AuSiO2@Ag wire for surface-enhanced Raman scattering detection of thiocyanate in urine and human serum
(Elsevier BVAlankomaat, 2019)Thiocyanate level in the human system can serve as a biomarker to distinguish smokers from non-smokers. Thiocyanate is a potential goitrogen, thus an accurate determination may help to identify lactating mothers with high ... -
Ultrasound field characterization using synthetic schlieren tomography
(Acoustical Society of America (ASA), 2017)Synthetic schlieren imaging, also known as background oriented schlieren imaging, is used to determine the acoustical field of a focused ultrasound transducer operating at 1.01 MHz frequency with peak pressure amplitude ... -
(Un)equal Treatment? Elderly care and disability services for people with dementia in Finland
(SAGE Publications, 2017)The rights of older people to care have become a major political and legal issue with the ageing populations of many European and OECD countries. Finland is an interesting case in this respect because in 2013, extensive ... -
The Unattainable Mediterranean : Arrested Clandestine Odysseys in Sefi Atta's "Twilight Trek" and Marie NDiaye's Trois femmes puissantes
(Indiana University Press, 2016)Sub-Saharan African aspiring migrants, pursuing their clandestine odysseys through the Sahara towards the Mediterranean, seem far removed from the figure of the upwardly mobile migrant paradigmatized by postcolonial theory. ... -
Underlying and immediate causes of death in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(Springer NatureBritannia, 2018)Background The most common cause of death of patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) has been reported to be the lung disease itself and mortality from IPF appears to be increasing. However, the causes of death ... -
Understanding of anesthesia - why consciousness is essential for life and not based on genes
(Informa UK Limited, 2016)Anesthesia and consciousness represent 2 mysteries not only for biology but also for physics and philosophy. Although anesthesia was introduced to medicine more than 160 y ago, our understanding of how it works still remains ... -
Understandings of family among wives and husbands: reconciling emotional closeness and cultural expectations
(Informa UK Limited, 2018)Family research has highlighted an increasing fluidity in understandings of family with many recent studies focusing on personal relationships and on the relational character of family phenomena in diversifying familial ... -
Understorey Rhododendron tomentosum and Leaf Trichome Density Affect Mountain Birch VOC Emissions in the Subarctic
(Springer Nature America, Inc, 2018)Subarctic vegetation is composed of mountain birch [Betula pubescens ssp. czerepanovii (MB)] forests with shrubs and other species growing in the understorey. The effects of the presence and density of one understorey ... -
Uneasy "homecoming" in Alain Mabanckou's Lumières de Pointe-Noire
(Informa UK Limited, 2017)Alain Mabanckou’s Lumières de Pointe-Noire (2013) is a travelogue in which the celebrated Los Angeles-based author returns to his native Congo-Brazzaville after 23 years of absence. As is typical in postcolonial travel ... -
Uniqueness of Meromorphic Functions Sharing Values with Their nth Order Exact Differences
(Springer Nature America, IncUnkari, 2018)Let f(z) be a transcendental meromorphic function in the complex plane of hyper-order strictly less than 1. It is shown that if f(z) and its nth exact difference Δnf(z) (≢ 0) share three distinct periodic functions a,b,c∈S^(f) ... -
Uniqueness of the Sum of Points of the Period-Five Cycle of Quadratic Polynomials
(Hindawi Limited, 2017)It is well known that the sum of points of the period-five cycle of the quadratic polynomial is generally not one-valued. In this paper we will show that the sum of cycle points of the curves of period five is at most ... -
University students' perceptions of their 'ability selves' and employability: a pilot study
(Informa UK LimitedBritannia, 2018)This study sets out to investigate the university students’ perceptions of their current and expected ‘ability selves’ and the contribution of such perceptions to students’ views of their own employability. The participants ... -
