The DSM: mindful science or mindless power? A critical review
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2014)In this paper we review the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of mental health (DSM), its scientific bases and utility. The concepts of “normality,” “pathology,” and boundaries between them are critically reviewed. We ... -
DTI PhantomMaker: A 3D-Printed DTI Calibration Phantom for Water Diffusion Direction and Anisotropy in the Brain
(2017-11-27)As diagnostic tools, MRI scanners performing Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) require calibration to ensure standardization. This thesis presents a custom-designed 3D printer used to manufacture a novel type of DTI phantom, ... -
Du Fu: Poet Historian, Poet Sage
(2016-05-17)This dissertation argues that Du Fu’s (712-770) ascent to the pinnacle of the Chinese literary pantheon was bound up with a revolution in the ways poetry was understood to be a serious endeavor. In Du Fu’s time, poetry had ... -
"Du, der ichs nicht sage...": Lyrisches und sachliches Sagen in Rilkes Gedichten 1906-1911

Dual Antibody Functionalized Polyvinyl Alcohol and Alginate Hydrogels for Synergistic Endothelial Cell Adhesion
(2012-07-27)Motivated by the need to design minimally-invasive treatments for wide-necked cerebral aneurysms, we used computational modeling to assess aneurysm hemodynamics, examined in vitro cellular responses arising from mechanical ... -
Dual Catalysis in Enantioselective Oxidopyrylium-Based [5+2] Cycloadditions
(American Chemical Society, 2011)A new method is reported for effecting catalytic enantioselective intramolecular [5+2] cycloadditions based on oxidopyrylium intermediates. The dual catalyst system consists of a chiral primary aminothiourea and a second ... -
Dual Function of CD81 in Influenza Virus Uncoating and Budding
(Public Library of Science, 2013)As an obligatory pathogen, influenza virus co-opts host cell machinery to harbor infection and to produce progeny viruses. In order to characterize the virus-host cell interactions, several genome-wide siRNA screens and ... -
Dual Language Learners in Transition from Home to School: The Role of Parental Attitudes and Home Language Practices in Bilingual Development
(2021-05-10)The language skills that children acquire in early childhood are essential for social relationships and school learning. For the large and growing number of children in the United States who are learning a minority language ... -
Dual pairs of type II string compactification
(Elsevier, 1995)Using a U-duality symmetry of type II compactification on T-4 represented by triality action on the T-duality group, and applying the adiabatic argument we construct dual pairs of type II compactifications in lower dimensions. ... -
A Dual Role for Corneal Dendritic Cells in Herpes Simplex Keratitis: Local Suppression of Corneal Damage and Promotion of Systemic Viral Dissemination
(Public Library of Science, 2015)The cornea is the shield to the foreign world and thus, a primary site for peripheral infections. However, transparency and vision are incompatible with inflammation and scarring that may result from infections. Thus, the ... -
Dual role of Fe dopants in enhancing stability and charge transfer in ( Li 0.8 Fe 0.2 ) OHFeSe superconductors
(American Physical Society, 2016)The recently discovered (Li0.8Fe0.2)OHFeSe superconductor provides a new platform for exploiting the microscopic mechanisms of high-T-c superconductivity in FeSe-derived systems. Using density functional theory calculations, ... -
Dual Targeting of Angiopoietin-2 and VEGF Signaling for the Treatment of Glioblastoma
(2015-01-29)Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive brain tumor in humans. Because GBM is highly angiogenic, the anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) antibody bevacizumab has now become the standard of care for ... -
The Dual World Polity: Fragmentation and Integration in the Network of Intergovernmental Organizations
(University of California Press, 2008)A growing body of research demonstrates powerful effects of international organizations on national policy, and the literature on international conflict is increasingly adopting a network perspective on international ... -
The Dual-Axis Circumstellar Environment of the Type IIn Supernova 1997eg
(Institute of Physics, 2008)We present multi-epoch spectral and spectropolarimetric observations of the Type IIn supernova (SN) 1997eg that indicate the presence of a flattened disk-like concentration of circumstellar material surrounding nonspherical ... -
Dual-Process Morality and the Personal/Impersonal Distinction: A Reply to McGuire, Langdon, Coltheart, and Mackenzie
(Elsevier, 2009)A substantial body of research supports a dual-process theory of moral judgment, according to which characteristically deontological judgments are driven by automatic emotional responses, while characteristically utilitarian ... -
A Dual-Self Model of Impulse Control
(American Economic Association, 2006)We propose that a simple “dual-self” model gives a unified explanation for several empirical regularities, including the apparent time inconsistency that has motivated models of quasi-hyperbolic discounting and Rabin's ... -
Dual-wavelength laser annealing
(AIP Publishing, 1979)A simple and efficient method of annealing ion‐implantation damage in semiconductors is demonstrated which utilizes a relatively weak optical pulse in the visible to initiate surface melting in combination with a more ... -
Dualism and Macroeconomic Volatility
(MIT Press, 1999)This paper develops a simple macroeconomic model that shows that combining capital market imperfections together with unequal access to investment opportunities across individuals can generate endogenous and permanent ... -
Dualistic Forms
(Oxford University Press, 2011)This article explores some of the consequences of Riemann's harmonic dualism that were not pursued by Riemann himself. The question of musical forms is one that Riemann intriguingly leaves unresolved—despite the fact that ... -
Dueling biological and social contagions
(Springer Nature, 2017)Numerous models explore how a wide variety of biological and social phenomena spread in social networks. However, these models implicitly assume that the spread of one phenomenon is not affected by the spread of another. ...
