Drinking Through a Toxic Straw: Identifying the Socioeconomic Indicators and Regulatory Flaws Characterizing Tap Water Lead in New Jersey
(2022-03-08)The risks posed by Lead (Pb), a persistent, bioaccumulative, and toxic heavy metal, to individuals through drinking water garnered increased attention in response to the contamination crisis in Flint, Michigan (beginning ... -
Dripping to Jetting Transitions in Coflowing Liquid Streams
(American Physical Society, 2007)A liquid forced through an orifice into an immiscible fluid ultimately breaks into drops due to surface tension. Drop formation can occur right at the orifice in a dripping process. Alternatively, the inner fluid can form ... -
Driven Nonlinear Dynamics of Two Coupled Exchange-Only Qubits
(American Physical Society (APS), 2014)Inspired by the creation of a fast exchange-only qubit [Medford et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 111, 050501 (2013)], we develop a theory describing the nonlinear dynamics of two such qubits that are capacitively coupled, when one ... -
Drivers and Points of Intervention for Obesity and Food Insecurity
(2021-07-12)Poor nutrition is a leading cause of disease and death in the United States and around the world. Two key types of poor nutrition are food insecurity (a lack of reliable access to nutritious food) and obesity (excess ... -
Drivers Are Blamed More Than Their Automated Cars When Both Make Mistakes
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-10-28)When an automated car harms someone, who is blamed by those who hearabout it? Here, we asked human participants to consider hypothetical cases inwhich a pedestrian was killed by a car operated under shared control of a ... -
Drivers of Long-Term Variability in Amazon Forest Carbon Fluxes
(2017-05-03)Amazon forests are potentially an important sink of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). However, the present magnitude of net CO2 uptake by intact Amazon forests and the controls upon seasonal, yearly, and decadal variability ... -
Drivers of Physician Productivity and Performance: The Role of Queuing Systems, Relative Performance Feedback, and Cohort Turnover
(2017-02-10)This dissertation investigates how operational choices about the design of work systems in health care settings impact the way physicians deliver care. Across three studies, I examine the following potential drivers of ... -
Driving vascular endothelial cell fate of human multipotent Isl1+ heart progenitors with VEGF modified mRNA
(Nature Publishing Group, 2013)Distinct families of multipotent heart progenitors play a central role in the generation of diverse cardiac, smooth muscle and endothelial cell lineages during mammalian cardiogenesis. The identification of precise paracrine ... -
Drone-Based VOC Sampling System for Atmospheric Insights in the Amazon
(2017-11-27)Produced mainly through natural emission from vegetation (~1015 grams a year), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in influence climate through their involvement in photochemistry, such as the production of ozone in the ... -
Drop-Based Microfluidics for Biological Applications
(2015-05-17)Drop-based microfluidic technology has been attracting great attention since the prevalence of soft-lithography techniques in poly-dimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microfluidic device fabrication a decade ago. The miniaturized ... -
Droplet microfluidics for high-throughput single-cell analysis
(2020-11-23)Droplet microfluidics have been widely used for single-cell analysis. Coupled with high-throughput sequencing, droplet-based single-cell sequencing methods have been developed to analyze RNA, DNA and even proteins in ... -
Droplet Microfluidics: Tools for Screening and Sorting Applications
(2013-10-15)Microfluidic droplets are a powerful tool for screening large populations of cells, molecules, and biochemical reactions. Droplet systems are able to encapsulate, incubate, screen, and sort millions of samples, providing ... -
Droplets. II. Internal Velocity Structures and Potential Rotational Motions in Pressure-dominated Coherent Structures
(American Astronomical Society, 2019-11-27)We present an analysis of the internal velocity structures of the newly identified sub-0.1 pc coherent structures, droplets, in L1688 and B18. By fitting 2D linear velocity fields to the observed maps of velocity centroids, ... -

Drosophila immunity and homeostasis during viral infection
(2017-08-24)Insects are vectors for human disease and also play a critical role in agriculture. Like humans, insects encounter pathogens such as viruses. Despite having a profound impact on our lives, much has yet to be discovered ... -
The Drosophila melanogaster PeptideAtlas facilitates the use of peptide data for improved fly proteomics and genome annotation
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-02-11)Background: Crucial foundations of any quantitative systems biology experiment are correct genome and proteome annotations. Protein databases compiled from high quality empirical protein identifications that are in turn ... -
"Drownded in the Tide": The Nauagikã and Some "Problems" in Augustan Poetry.

Drug addiction unveils a repressive methylation ceiling in EZH2-mutant lymphoma
(Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2023-03-27)Drug addiction, a phenomenon where cancer cells paradoxically depend on continuous drug treatment for survival, has uncovered cell signaling mechanisms and cancer co-dependencies. Here, we discover mutations that confer ... -
Drug Refillable Vascular Grafts
(2015-06-26)When dealing with cardiovascular disease, vascular devices are used to expand the vascular opening and maintain proper flow. However, current vascular grafts have a high rate of occlusion due to biological responses to the ... -
Drugs That Thwart Antibiotic Resistance
(2015-05-20)Antibiotics are often credited with being one of the major forces behind the expansion of human life expectancy in the past 60 years. Yet at the root of this advancement lies its potential undoing: using antibiotics promotes ...
