Distribution and Determinants of Serum Zinc, Copper, and Selenium Levels among Children under Five Years from Popokabaka, Democratic Republic of Congo: A Cross-Sectional Study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Information about essential trace elements among children in many African countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), is limited. We aimed to measure the distribution and determinants of serum zinc (Zn), ... -
Distribution and Occurrence Frequency of dB/dt Spikes During Magnetic Storms 1980–2020
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)The physical magnetospheric cause for geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) are rapid time-varying magnetic fields (dB/dt), which occur mainly during magnetic substorms and storms. When, where and why exactly such rapid ... -
Distribution and suitable habitat of the cold-water corals Lophelia pertusa, Paragorgia arborea, and Primnoa resedaeformis on the Norwegian continental shelf
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Cold-water corals are habitat-forming species that are also classified as indicators of vulnerable marine ecosystems (VMEs) due to the threat of various anthropogenic impacts, e.g., fisheries and oil/mineral exploration. ... -
Distribution of discontinuous Mudstone beds within wavedominated shallow-marine deposits: Star point sandstone and blackhawk formation, Eastern Utah
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)Deposits of wave-dominated shorelines are typically considered to act as relatively simple hydrocarbon reservoirs and are commonly modeled as “tanks of sand.” However, important heterogeneities that can act as barriers to ... -
The Distribution of IgT mRNA+ Cells in the Gut of the Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar L.)
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The newly discovered IgT+ B cell is thought to play a dominant role in mucosal immunity, but limited studies have examined its distribution in fish species, hindering our understanding of its function. This study investigated ... -
Distribution of Kudoa thyrsites (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) myoliquefactive stages in Northeast Atlantic mackerel (Scomber scombrus) inferred from qPCR and histology
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Kudoa thyrsites is a myxosporean parasite (Cnidaria, Myxozoa) that infects the skeletal and cardiac muscle of Northeast Atlantic (NEA) mackerel (Scomber scombrus). Heavy infections are associated with post-mortem myoliquefaction ... -
The distribution of lichens and mosses at Edward VII Peninsula, Marie Byrd Land, Antarctica
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)This is the first detailed study of the distribution of mosses and lichens at Alexandra Mountains and Rockefeller Mountains, Edward VII Peninsula, Antarctica. A total of 418 samples was collected on 21 nunataks in the ... -
Distributional impact of infectious disease interventions in the Ethiopian Essential Health Service Package: a modelling study
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Objectives Reducing inequalities in health and financial risk are key goals on the path toward universal health coverage, particularly in low-income and middle-income countries. The design of the health benefit package ... -
Disturbed lipid profile in common variable immunodeficiency – a pathogenic loop of inflammation and metabolic disturbances
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The relationship between metabolic and inflammatory pathways play a pathogenic role in various cardiometabolic disorders and is potentially also involved in the pathogenesis of other disorders such as cancer, autoimmunity ... -
Disulfiram, a ferroptosis inducer, triggers lysosomal membrane permeabilization by up-regulating ROS in glioblastoma
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Introduction: Disulfiram (DSF), a drug used in the treatment of alcoholism since 1948, has been shown to have antitumor properties in various tumor types possibly due to the induction of a type cell death, ferroptosis, and ... -
Diurnal gait fluctuations in single- and dual- task conditions
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Gait is one of the most basic movements, and walking activity accomplished in dual task conditions realistically represents daily life mobility. Much is known about diurnal variations of gait components such as muscle ... -
Diurnal temperature range as a key predictor of plants’ elevation ranges globally
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)A prominent hypothesis in ecology is that larger species ranges are found in more variable climates because species develop broader environmental tolerances, predicting a positive range size-temperature variability ... -
Diurnal variation of motor activity in adult ADHD patients analyzed with methods from graph theory
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-11)Attention-deficit /hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a common neurodevelopmental syndrome characterized by age-inappropriate levels of motor activity, impulsivity and attention. The aim of the present study was to study ... -
Divergent Regulation of Decidual Oxidative-Stress Response by NRF2 and KEAP1 in Preeclampsia with and without Fetal Growth Restriction
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Utero-placental development in pregnancy depends on direct maternal–fetal interaction in the uterine wall decidua. Abnormal uterine vascular remodeling preceding placental oxidative stress and placental dysfunction are ... -
Diverse Collections in Matroids and Graphs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)We investigate the parameterized complexity of finding diverse sets of solutions to three fundamental combinatorial problems, two from the theory of matroids and the third from graph theory. The input to the Weighted Diverse ... -
Diverse collections in matroids and graphs
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We investigate the parameterized complexity of finding diverse sets of solutions to three fundamental combinatorial problems. The input to the Weighted Diverse Bases problem consists of a matroid M, a weight function ω : ... -
Diverse Pairs of Matchings
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)We initiate the study of the Diverse Pair of (Maximum/ Perfect) Matchings problems which given a graph G and an integer k, ask whether G has two (maximum/perfect) matchings whose symmetric difference is at least k. Diverse ... -
Diversification in evolutionary arenas—Assessment and synthesis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Understanding how and why rates of evolutionary diversification vary is a key issue in evolutionary biology, ecology, and biogeography. Evolutionary rates are the net result of interacting processes summarized under concepts ... -
Diversification of flowering plants in space and time
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)The rapid diversification and high species richness of flowering plants is regarded as ‘Darwin’s second abominable mystery’. Today the global spatiotemporal pattern of plant diversification remains elusive. Using a newly ... -
