Deviant peer preferences: A simplified approach to account for peer selection effects
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-09)The goal of this study is to present and validate a simple method for accounting for peer selection on offending based on a respondent’s self-reported preferences for friends who engage in criminal behavior. Using primary ... -
Diagenetic history and reservoir properties of the Cenomanian-Turonian carbonates in southwestern Iran and the Persian Gulf
(Elsevier, 2017-12-01)Shallow-marine carbonates of the mid-Cretaceous Sarvak Formation are important reservoir rocks in southern Iran and the Persian Gulf region. These carbonates were deposited on the margin of the Arabian Plate and rest on ... -
A diagnostic approach to constraining flow partitioning in hydrologic models using a multiobjective optimization framework
(American Geophysical Union, 2017-04-21)Hydrologic models are often tasked with replicating historical hydrographs but may do so without accurately reproducing the internal hydrological functioning of the watershed, including the flow partitioning, which is ... -
Diagnostic data for neurological conditions in interRAI assessments in home care, nursing home and mental health care settings: a validity study
(BioMed Central, 2013-11-01)Background: The interRAI suite of assessment instruments can provide valuable information to support person-specific care planning across the continuum of care. Comprehensive clinical information is collected with these ... -
Die geopolitische Bedeutung der Flüsse Tanais und Kalykadnos in den Territorialklauseln des Friedensvertrags von Apameia (Liv. 38,38,4.9)
(Steiner Verlag, Stuttgart, Germany, 2021-08-01)The Roman-Seleukid War (192–188 BC) resulted in the reorganization of Asia Minor, as sealed by the Treaty of Apameia. Its basic conditions are well known: Antiochus III withdrew from the areas north of the Taurus Mountains ... -
Die Teilung ‚Armeniens‘ durch Caesar und die Entstehung ‚Kleinarmeniens‘
(Steiner Verlag, Stuttgart, Germany, 2021-08-01)Cicero states that Caesar withdrew Armenia from Deiotaros, Cassius Dio has him cede a part to Ariobarzanes and the Bellum Alexandrinum (66.5) implies that Armenia Minor was given (perhaps partly) to Ariobarzanes III’s ... -
Diet-induced changes in iron and n-3 fatty acid status and associations with cognitive performance in 8-11-year-old Danish children: secondary analyses of the Optimal Well-Being, Development and Health for Danish Children through a Healthy New Nordic Diet School Meal Study
(Cambridge University Press, 2015-11-28)Fe and n-3 long-chain PUFA (n-3 LCPUFA) have both been associated with cognition, but evidence remains inconclusive in well-nourished school-aged children. In the Optimal Well-Being, Development and Health for Danish ... -
Dietary assessment is a critical element of health research – Perspective from the Partnership for Advancing Nutritional and Dietary Assessment in Canada
(Canadian Science Publishing, 2016-10)Challenges and complexities associated with assessing dietary intakes are numerous, but not insurmountable. This opinion paper from Canadian researchers draws attention to the importance of building capacity and providing ... -
Differential effects of training on innovation
(Taylor & Francis, 2021-01-17)Evidence shows that training can increase product innovation. Yet in most studies survey design omits the differentiation between ‘new' and ‘improved' technical innovation. Thus, our objective is to quantify the impact of ... -
Differential regional pectoralis major activation indicates functional diversity in healthy females
(Elsevier, 2022-01)Pectoralis major activation enables the performance of several upper extremity movements. Its regional activation, however, is not documented in healthy females. This work used high-density surface electromyography to ... -
A differential role for the posterior cerebellum in the adaptive control of convergence eye movements
(Elsevier, 2020-02)Introduction The vergence oculomotor system possesses two robust adaptive mechanisms; a fast “dynamic” and a slow “tonic” system that are both vital for single, clear and comfortable binocular vision. The neural substrates ... -
Differentiating Defects and Their Influence on Hematite Photoanodes Using X-ray Absorption Spectroscopy and Raman Microscopy
(American Chemical Society, 2022-01-31)A high degree of variability in behavior and performance of hematite as photoanodes for the oxygen evolution reaction signifies a need to improve our understanding of the interplay between defects and photoelectrochemical ... -
Digital Religion Among U.S. and Canadian Millennial Adults
(Springer, 2022-06)Background Although there is a growing body of research on the nature and content of digital religion, we still know little about the prevalence of digital religious and spiritual practices among different populations in ... -
Digital tracking algorithm reveals the influence of structural irregularities on joint movements in the human cervical spine
(Elsevier, 2018-07-01)Background Disc height loss and osteophytes change the local mechanical environment in the spine; while previous research has examined kinematic dysfunction under degenerative change, none has looked at the influence of ... -
Digraphs with All Induced Directed Cycles of the Same Length are not → χ -Bounded
(2022-10-07)For t > 2, let us call a digraph D t-chordal if all induced directed cycles in D have length equal to t. In an earlier paper, we asked for which t it is true that t-chordal graphs with bounded clique number have bounded ... -
Dimensional dependence of the Stokes-Einstein relation and its violation
(American Institute of Physics, 2013-10-28)We generalize to higher spatial dimensions the Stokes-Einstein relation (SER) as well as the leading correction to diffusivity in finite systems with periodic boundary conditions, and validate these results with numerical ... -
Dimensions of Quinoline-Based Foldamers Labeled with Oligo(phenylene vinylene) Probed in Solution by Time-Resolved Fluorescence Anisotropy
(American Chemical Society, 2019-07-24)A series of oligoquinolines (Qn with n = 1 – 32) was prepared with an oligo(phenylene vinylene) (OPV) fluorophore covalently attached at one end via a rigid amide bond. The fluorescence decays of the OPV-Qn solutions in ... -
DiPyMe in SDS Micelles: Artifacts and Their Implications in the Interpretation of Micellar Properties
(American Chemical Society, 2015-11-10)This study provides experimental evidence that di(1-pyrenylmethyl) ether or DiPyMe, a well-known fluorescent probe employed to determine the microviscosity of surfactant or polymeric micelles, is being hydrolyzed in the ... -
