Development of a rickettsia isolated from an aborted bovine fetus
(American Society for Microbiology, 1990-10)An obligate intracellular rickettsial organism isolated from an aborted bovine fetus was studied in bovine turbinate and mouse macrophage cell cultures with light and electron microscopy. Development of the organism was ... -
Development of an in-situ system and analysis procedure for measuring ground thermal properties
(American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, 2000)Determination of the ground’s thermal conductivity is a significant challenge facing designers of Ground Source Heat Pump (GSHP) systems applied in commercial buildings. The number of boreholes and the depth and cost of ... -
Diagnostic performance and diagrammatic manipulation in the physician’s folding almanacs
(Taylor & Francis, 2017-01-01)Bodleian MS Ashmole 6 is one of around 30 known physician’s folding almanacs - small manuscripts of medical reference material in Latin, all (save one) made in England around the fifteenth century. The folding almanacs are ... -
Diboson production at D0
(2009-07-16)We present recent diboson production measurements from the D0 experiment at Fermilab’s Tevatron collider. The production of ZZ was observed using leptonic final states. Zγ → ννγ was observed and used to set the most stringent ... -
Dielectric response of soft mode in ferroelectric SrTiO3
(AIP Publishing, 2007-01-16)The authors report far-infrared dielectric properties of powder form ferroelectric SrTiO3. Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy (TDS) measurement reveals that the low-frequency dielectric response of SrTiO3 is a consequence ... -
Dietary curcumin attenuates aepatic cellular senescence by suppressing the MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway in aged mice.
(MDPI AG, 2023-05-27)Dietary interventions with bioactive compounds have been found to suppress the accumulation of senescent cells and senescence-associated secretory phenotypes (SASPs). One such compound, curcumin (CUR), has beneficial health ... -
Dieuropium(III) silicodimonophosphatediphosphate
(International Union of Crystallography, 2001-01-30)A new europium(III) silicophosphate, whose formula may be considered to be Eu2Si(PO4)2(P2O7), has been found to consist of phosphosilicate chains with Si-O-P-O-P-O-Si backbones extending in the a direction. The P2O7 group ... -
Differences in mosquito communities in six cities in Oklahoma
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-04-05)Vector-borne diseases in the United States have recently increased as a result of the changing nature of vectors, hosts, reservoirs, pathogens, and the ecological and environmental conditions. Current information on vector ... -
