Differentiation between cucurbit yellow stunting disorder virus and beet pseudo-yellows virus by a reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction assay
(1998-06)Two whitefly-transmitted viruses elicit identical symptoms of interveinal chlorosis (yellowing) in greenhouse- and field-grown cucurbits in Mediterranean countries. The agents of these diseases are partially characterized ... -
Differing calcification processes in cultured vascular smooth muscle cells and osteoblasts
(2019-07-01)Arterial medial calcification (AMC) is the deposition of calcium phosphate mineral, often as hydroxyapatite, inthe medial layer of the arteries. AMC shares some similarities to skeletal mineralisation and has been ... -
Difficulties in early ice detection with the Small Ice Detector 2 HIAPER (SID-2H) in maritime cumuli
(2014-06)The Small Ice Detector 2 HIAPER (SID-2H) was used to attempt to detect small ice particles in the early stages of ice formation in the high liquid water environment of tropical maritime cumulus clouds sampled during the ... -
Diffuse gas in galaxies sheds new light on the origin of Type Ia supernovae
(2014-08-01)We measure the strength of He II λ4686 nebular emission in passively evolving ('retired') galaxies, aiming to constrain their populations of hot accreting white dwarfs (WDs) in the context of the single-degenerate (SD) ... -
Diffuse interstellar bands in the spectra of massive young stellar objects
(1997)We have compared the B−V colour excess, E(B–V), obtained for a sample of five optically visible massive YSOs both from diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) in their spectra and from their optical continuum slopes. Our targets ... -
The Diffuse Ionized Gas Halo of the Large Magellanic Cloud
(2023-05-15)The Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has an extensive Hα emission halo that traces an extended, warm ionized component of its interstellar medium. Using the Wisconsin Hα Mapper telescope, we present the first kinematic Hα ... -
Diffuse Radio Emission from Galaxy Clusters in the LOFAR Two-metre Sky Survey Deep Fields
(2021-04-07)Low-frequency radio observations are revealing an increasing number of diffuse synchrotron sources from galaxy clusters, dominantly in the form of radio halos or radio relics. The existence of this diffuse synchrotron ... -
Diffuse X-Ray Emission in the Cygnus OB2 Association
(2023-11-01)We present a large-scale study of diffuse X-ray emission in the nearby massive stellar association Cygnus OB2 as part of the Chandra Cygnus OB2 Legacy Program. We used 40 Chandra X-ray ACIS-I observations covering ∼1.0 ... -
The diffusion of anticipatory standards with particular reference to the ISO/IEC information resource dictionary system framework standard
(2002-05-15)In the late 1980s, traditional standards development organisations were moving toward creating anticipatory standards as a way of coping with the fast growth in new technology in the computing industry. The development of ... -
Diffusion of e-government in Nigeria : a qualitative study of culture and gender
(University of Hertfordshire, 2012)E-government failure is prevalent in developing countries, and of the varying reasons for this, adoption of online products and services by citizens is one strong factor. Using this reasoning, this research-in-progress ... -
The diffusion of Performance and Image Enhancing Drugs (PIEDs) on the internet : The abuse of the cognitive enhancer Piracetam
(2014-12-06)Introduction: Performance and image-enhancing drugs (PIEDs), also known as “lifestyle drugs,” are increasingly sold on the Internet to enhance cognitive as well as sexual, muscular, attentive, and other natural capacities. ... -
Diffusion through the ex vivo vitreal body - bovine, porcine, and ovine models are poor surrogates for the human vitreous
(2018-10-25)The human vitreous humour is a complex gel structure whose composition and physical properties can vary considerably from person to person and also change with age. To date, the viscoelastic properties of the human vitreous ... -

Digested information as an information theoretic motivation for social interaction
(2011)Within a universal agent-world interaction framework, based on Information Theory and Causal Bayesian Networks, we demonstrate how every agent that needs to acquire relevant information in regard to its strategy selection ... -
Digested information, a non-semantic motivation for agent-agent interaction
(2010)Digested Information is a theory that aims to explain, at the non-semantic level of Information Theory, why it makes sense for one agent to observe another. Based on the formalism of Relevant Information, defined as the ... -
Digestive Cancers Europe Dietary Advice Booklet for Patients with Oesophageal or Gastric Cancer
(Digestive Cancers Europe, 2021-03-30)The challenge for those of us who have experienced oesophageal or gastric cancer and have had an oesophagectomy is how to ensure we have adequate nutrition, because dietary needs change radically during the entire cancer ... -
