Decoding the precision of historical temperature observations
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2015)Historical observations of temperature underpin our ability to monitor Earth’s climate. We identify a pervasive issue in archived observations from surface stations, wherein the use of varying conventions for units and ... -
Decoherence Dynamics in Low-Dimensional Cold Atom Interferometers
(American Physical Society (APS), 2007)We report on a study of the dynamics of decoherence of a matter-wave interferometer, consisting of a pair of low-dimensional cold atom condensates at finite temperature. We identify two distinct regimes in the time dependence ... -
Decoherence imaging of spin ensembles using a scanning single-electron spin in diamond
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)The nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect center in diamond has demonstrated great capability for nanoscale magnetic sensing and imaging for both static and periodically modulated target fields. However, it remains a challenge to ... -
Decomposition of Olfactory Memory by Dopamine Neural Cirucit in Drosophila
(2017-05-12)During the formation of an olfactory memory in Drosophila, the Mushroom Body (MB) receives olfactory cues (Conditioned Stimuli, CS) relayed from the antennal lobe and aversive or reward stimuli (Unconditioned Stimuli; US) ... -
Deconfined criticality in bilayer graphene
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)We propose that bilayer graphene can provide an experimental realization of deconfined criticality. Current experiments indicate the presence of Néel order in the presence of a moderate magnetic field. The Néel order can ... -
Deconstructing Cell Intrinsic Immunity and Host-Pathogen Interactions Using Single-Cell Genomics
(2021-05-06)The outcome of infection by a virus or microorganism is determined by a complex set of interactions between host tissues and the virulence mechanisms of the invading agent. Among directly infected and bystander cells, the ... -

Deconstructing the Brain Serotonergic System: A Transcriptomic Analysis of 5-HT Neurons Across Space and Time
(2021-09-13)Neurons that produce and release the monoamine serotonin (5-HT) are distributed across nine raphe nuclei of the brainstem and have a known role in a wide range of homeostatic and behavioral processes. While historically ... -
Deconstructing, Reconstructing, Preserving Paul E Meehl's Legacy of Construct Validity
(American Psychological Association, 2005)The question of the status of cause-and-effect explanations of human behavior that posit physically existing causative factors and those that, on the other hand, posit hypothetical entities in the form of "useful fictions" ... -
Deconstruction and gauge theories in AdS5

Decoupling catalytic activity from biological function of the ATPase that powers lipopolysaccharide transport
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2014)Gram-negative bacteria contain an unusual outer membrane that prevents the entry of most currently available antibiotics. This membrane contains a complex glycolipid, LPS, on the exterior. It is not understood how such a ... -
Decoupling of the Arctic Oscillation and North Atlantic Oscillation in a Warmer Climate
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2021-01-11)The North Atlantic Oscillation and the Arctic Oscillation are modes of climate variability affecting temperature and precipitation in the mid-latitudes. Here we use reanalysis data and climate model simulations of historical ... -
Decrease in gamma-band activity tracks sequence learning
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2015)Learning novel sequences constitutes an example of declarative memory formation, involving conscious recall of temporal events. Performance in sequence learning tasks improves with repetition and involves forming temporal ... -
Decreased Cerebellar-Orbitofrontal Connectivity Correlates with Stuttering Severity: Whole-Brain Functional and Structural Connectivity Associations with Persistent Developmental Stuttering
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2016)Persistent developmental stuttering is characterized by speech production disfluency and affects 1% of adults. The degree of impairment varies widely across individuals and the neural mechanisms underlying the disorder and ... -
The Dedication Strategies of Conrad Gessner

Deduction of Continuum Potentials from Planar Channeling
(American Physical Society (APS), 1972)A new method for determining planar continuum potentials from planar channeling data has been developed. Preliminary experiments have been done for 1.8-MeV α particles in [111] gold planar directions from which the continuum ... -
Deduplication on Large Family Datasets
(2016-07-06)Thanks to new technology, data collection of family pedigree charts can be instantly collected from cancer clinics. As in common practice, individuals with high risk of cancer are frequently resampled for further checkups ... -
Deep Annotation of Populus trichocarpa MicroRNAs from Diverse Tissue Sets
(Public Library of Science, 2012)Populus trichocarpa is an important woody model organism whose entire genome has been sequenced. This resource has facilitated the annotation of microRNAs (miRNAs), which are short non-coding RNAs with critical regulatory ... -
Deep Eutectic-Mediated Parenteral Drug Delivery Systems for Therapeutic Macromolecules
(2023-06-01)The past 100 years have seen an evolution of drug payloads that have expanded the number of treatment options for an increasing number of treatable diseases. With this progression, it has become increasingly necessary to ... -
Deep Genetic Divergence between Disjunct Refugia in the Arctic-Alpine King’s Crown, Rhodiola integrifolia (Crassulaceae)
(Public Library of Science, 2013)Despite the strength of climatic variability at high latitudes and upper elevations, we still do not fully understand how plants in North America that are distributed between Arctic and alpine areas responded to the ...
