Possible definitions for ubvm

Ulam
Polish-U.S. mathematician and atomic physicist. He received his doctoral degree in 1933 and was invited by J. von Neumann to Princeton's Institute for Advanced Study in 1936. In 1943 he moved to Los Alamos, where his early work included development (with von Neumann) of the Monte Carlo method of finding approximate solutions to problems. Later, working on a fusion bomb, he and E. Teller developed a two-stage radiation implosion design (the "Teller-Ulam configuration") that could generate an explosion capable of initiating nuclear fusion, a design that led to the creation of the hydrogen bomb.


uremia
Excess nitrogenous waste products in the blood and their toxic effects. Kidney impairment (see Bright's disease, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, kidney failure, nephritis) or disorders that hinder urine excretion (e.g., prostatic disorders) allow urea and other protein waste products to accumulate. Symptoms usually start with fatigue and loss of concentration. They may include itching and muscle twitches; dry, flaky, yellowish skin; dry mouth, metallic taste, and ammonia breath; and nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation. Advanced stages affect the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems and can lead to hypertension, seizures, heart failure, and death. If the underlying disorder cannot be treated, dialysis or kidney transplant may be required.
