The dependence of differential rotation on temperature and rotation
(2005)We use Doppler imaging techniques to determine the dependence of starspot rotation rates on latitude in an homogeneous sample of young, rapidly-rotating solar analogues. A solar-like differential rotation law is used, where ... -
Dependence of direct neutron capture on nuclear-structure models
(1998-04)The prediction of cross sections for nuclei far off stability is crucial in the field of nuclear astrophysics. We calculate direct neutron capture on the even-even isotopes Sn124-145 and Pb208-238 with energy levels, masses, ... -
Dependent Companions
(2009-11)My primary concern will be to cast light upon the relation between animal guardians (‘pet owners’) and pets as a deep relation. I will proceed with a degree of indirectness by explaining why animal guardians can have an ... -
Dephasing-assisted transport: quantum networks and biomolecules
(2008)Transport phenomena are fundamental in physics. They allow for information and energy to be exchanged between individual constituents of communication systems, networks or even biological entities. Environmental noise will ... -
Deploying pre-grant patent opposition mechanisms in Africa to monitor abuse of the patent system
(2015)This article examines the extent to which African countries could deploy pre-grant patent opposition provisions in their domestic patent regimes to mitigate the abuse of the patent system. The author argues that the public ... -
Deploying Process Innovation in Manufacturing
(2023-05-05)Manufacturing companies are increasingly under pressure to innovate due primarily to the intense competition they face, particularly under global market conditions. Innovation is recognised as a precondition for survival. ... -
Depolarization ratio profiling at several wavelengths in pure Saharan dust during SAMUM 2006
(2009-02)Vertical profiles of the linear particle depolarization ratio of pure dust clouds were measured during the Saharan Mineral Dust Experiment (SAMUM) at Ouarzazate, Morocco (30.9 degrees N, -6.9 degrees E), close to source ... -
Depolarization Ratio Retrievals Using AERONET Sun Photometer Data
(2010-09)We present linear particle depolarization ratios (LPDRs) retrieved from measurements with an AERONET Sun photometer at the Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology (GIST), Korea (35.10 degrees N, 126.53 E) between 19 ... -
Depolarization Ratios Retrieved by AERONET Sun/Sky Radiometer Data and Comparison to Depolarization Ratios Measured With Lidar
(2017-05-22)The linear particle depolarization ratios at 440, 675, 870, and 1020 nm were derived using data taken with the AERONET sun–sky radiometer at Seoul (37.45° N, 126.95° E), Kongju (36.47° N, 127.14° E), Gosan (33.29° N, ... -
Depression and identity : Are self-constructions negative or conflictual?
(2017-05-30)Negative self-views have proved to be a consistent marker of vulnerability for depression. However, recent research has shown that a particular kind of cognitive conflict, implicative dilemma, is highly prevalent in ... -
Depression in End-Stage Renal Disease : Current Advances and Research
(2010)Depression or the presence of significant depressive symptoms remains common in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It is thought that 20–30% of ESRD patients have significant depressive symptoms, although there ... -
Depression of tetanic force induced by loaded shortening of frog muscle fibres
(1993-07)1. Single fibres isolated from the anterior tibialis muscle of Rana temporaria were allowed to shorten against a high load during a 2.5-4.0 s fused tetanus (1-3 degrees C) and the maximum force produced at the short length ... -
Depression on dialysis
(2008)Depression is the most common psychopathological condition among patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD), yet it is still under-recognized and misdiagnosed. Depression reduces quality of life and has a negative clinical ... -
Depression symptoms and the perception of public health restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic in Saudi Arabia: The protective effect of sense of control
(2022-08-01)The psychological impact of public health restrictions may play a role in the increased depression levels reported since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Data further suggest that people's sense of personal control has been ... -
Depression Symptoms in Haemodialysis Patients Predict All-Cause Mortality but Not Kidney Transplantation : A Cause-Specific Outcome Analysis
(2017-07-31)Background: Depression is common in haemodialysis (HD) patients and associated with poor outcomes. Purpose: To evaluate whether depression symptoms predict survival and transplantation in a large sample of haemodialysis ... -
Depression, anxiety, stress, and satisfaction with life : Moderating role of interpersonal needs among university students
(2022-09-28)Depression, anxiety, and stress are ranked among the top mental health concerns faced by university students in recent times perpetuated by the proliferation of digitalization. Thus, this study was performed to assess the ... -
Depressive realism and outcome density bias in contingency judgements : the effect of the context and inter-trial interval
(2005)The perception of the effectiveness of instrumental actions is influenced by depressed mood. Depressive realism (DR) is the claim that depressed people are particularly accurate in evaluating instrumentality. In two ... -
Depressive realism and the effect of intertrial interval on judgements of zero, positive, and negative contingencies
(2007)In three experiments we tested how the spacing of trials during acquisition of zero, positive, and negative response-outcome contingencies differentially affected depressed and nondepressed students' judgements. Experiment ...
