Developments in the remote sensing of soil erosion in the perspective of sub-Saharan Africa. Implications on future food security and biodiversity
(Elsevier, 2018)The remote sensing of soil erosion has gained substantial consideration, with considerable scientific research work having been conducted in the past, due to technological improvements that have resulted in the release of ... -
Diagnostic approaches of pneumonia for commercial-scale biomedical applications: An overview
(Taylor & Francis, 2020)Pneumonia remains the leading infectious cause of death among children under five years of age, and the elderly. Several biomarkers, which have been identified for its diagnosis lack specificity, as they could not ... -
Diagnostic value of advanced semen analysis in evaluation of male infertility
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)Conventional semen analysis is the standard of care to initially evaluate the fertility status of a male patient. However, it has some limitations and among these are failure to correctly identify the aetiology underlying ... -
Diagnostic value of routine semen analysis in clinical andrology
(Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2021)Infertility is a major health issue affecting over 48.5 million couples around the world, with the male factor accounting for about 50% of the cases. The conventional semen analysis recommended by the World Health Organization ... -
Dichlorido-[(2-diphenylphosphino-benzylidene)-2-methylphenylen-amine]palladium( II) acetonitrile monosolvate
(International Union of Crystallography, 2013)The title imino–phosphine compound, [PdCl2(C26H22NP)] - CH3CN, was prepared by reaction of N-[2-(diphenylphosphanyl) benzylidene]-2-methylaniline with dichlorido(cycloocta- 1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The ... -
Dichlorido-[2-(2,6-diethylphenyl)iminomethylquinoline-N,N’]palladium(II) acetonitrile monosolvate
(International Union of Crystallography, 2012)The title complex, [PdCl2(C20H20N2)] CH3CN, was synthesized by the reaction of 2-[(2,6-diethylphenyl)iminomethyl]quinoline with dichlorido(cycloocta-1,5-diene)palladium(II) in dry CH2Cl2. The PdII ion is coordinated by ... -
Diet and feeding in the Cape Cobra, Naja nivea
(Taylor & Francis, 2017)It is widely reported that African cobras (genus Naja) are generalist predators, but examination of formal literature yields relatively little evidence of this for most species. Here, we review the diet of cape cobras (Naja ... -
Diet composition and some observations on the feeding ecology of the rhizostome Rhopilema nomadica in Israeli coastal waters
(Cambridge University Press, 2020)Since the mid-1980s, swarms of the rhizostome Rhopilema nomadica have been an annual phenomenon in Israeli Mediterranean coastal waters during the summer months. Despite its annual prominence and the potential impact on ... -
Diet of whale sharks Rhincodon typus inferred from stomach content and signature fatty acid analyses
(Inter Research, 2013)Whale sharks Rhincodon typus are large filter-feeders that are frequently observed feeding in surface zooplankton patches at their tropical and subtropical coastal aggregation sites. Using signature fatty acid (FA) ... -
Dietary effects of antimicrobial peptides in therapeutics
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-02-17)The notable increase in drug-resistant infections and the failure of the most potent antibiotics to establish their curative effect without side effect have presented a serious need for the discovery of new therapeutic ... -
Differential effects of normoxic versus hypoxic derived breast cancer paracrine factors on brain endothelial cells
(MPDI, 2021)The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a central nervous system protective barrier formed primarily of endothelial cells that regulate the entry of substances and cells from entering the brain. However, the BBB integrity is ... -
Differential sensitivity of two endothelial cell lines to hydrogen peroxide toxicity: Relevance for in vitro studies of the blood–brain barrier
(MPDI, 2020)Oxidative stress (OS) has been linked to blood–brain barrier (BBB) dysfunction which in turn has been implicated in the initiation and propagation of some neurological diseases. In this study, we profiled, for the first ... -
Differentially expressed serum proteins from obese Wistar rats as a risk factor for obesity-induced diseases
(Springer Nature, 2020)Obesity is a chronic disease that negatively affects life expectancy through its association with life-threatening diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Expression proteomics combined with in silico interaction ... -
Digital watermarking: a state-of-the-art review
(IIMC International Information Management Corporation, 2010)Digital watermarking is the art of embedding data, called a watermark, into a multimedia object such that the watermark can be detected or extracted later without impairing the object. Concealment of secret messages inside ... -
Direct optimal mapping for 21 cm cosmology: A demonstration with the hydrogen epoch of reionization array
(American Astronomical Society, 2022)Motivated by the desire for wide-field images with well-defined statistical properties for 21 cm cosmology, we implement an optimal mapping pipeline that computes a maximum likelihood estimator for the sky using the ... -
Direct parameter inference from global EoR signal with Bayesian statistics
(Oxford University Press, 2020)In the observation of sky-averaged HI signal from Epoch of Reionization (EoR), model parameter inference can be a computation-intensive work, which makes it hard to perform a direct one-stage model parameter inference by ... -
Direction-dependent corrections in polarimetric radio imaging. Iii. A-to-Z solver— Modeling the full jones antenna aperture illumination pattern
(IOP Publishing, 2022)In this third paper of a series describing direction-dependent corrections for polarimetric radio imaging, we present the the A-to-Z solver methodology to model the full Jones antenna aperture illumination pattern (AIP) ... -
Discovery of a filamentary synchrotron structure connected to the coherent magnetic field in the outer galaxy
(The Astrophysical Journal, 2023)Using data from the Galactic Arecibo L-band Feed Array Continuum Transit Survey, we report the discovery of two previously unidentified, very compressed, thin, and straight polarized filaments approximately centered at ... -
