Distribution of electric currents in solar active regions
(2014-02-10) - Journal articleThere has been a long-standing debate on the question of whether or not electric currents in solar active regions are neutralized. That is, whether or not the main (or direct) coronal currents connecting the active region ... -
Distribution of independent components of binocular natural images
(2015-09) - Journal articleAn influential theory of the function of early processing in the visual cortex is that it forms an efficient coding of ecologically valid stimuli. In particular, correlations and differences between visual signals from the ... -
The distribution of legal traditions around the world : A contribution to the legal origins theory
(2014-08) - Journal articleThe distribution of the common law was conditioned by a colonial strategy sensitive to the colonies’ level of endowments, exhibiting a more effective implantation of the legal system in initially sparsely populated territories ... -
The distribution of pelagic sound scattering layers across the southwest Indian Ocean
(2017-02) - Journal articleShallow and deep scattering layers (SLs) were surveyed with split-beam echosounders across the southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) to investigate their vertical and geographical distribution. Cluster analysis was employed to ... -
Distribution, abundance, and feeding ecology of baleen whales in Icelandic waters: have recent environmental changes had an effect?
(2015-02-17) - Journal articleThe location of Iceland at the junction of submarine ridges in the North-East Atlantic where warm and cold water masses meet south of the Arctic Circle contributes to high productivity of the waters around the island. ... -
Distribution, social structure and habitat use of short-finned pilot whale, Globicephala macrorhynchus, in the Canary Islands
(University of St Andrews, 2014-06) - ThesisThe Canary Archipelago is considered one of the planet’s biodiversity hotspots and the short-finned pilot whale is a key species in need of conservation measures. To address a lack of knowledge, almost 2,000 day-surveys ... -
Disturbance-specific social responses in long-finned pilot whales, Globicephala melas
(2016-06-29) - Journal articleSocial interactions among animals can influence their response to disturbance. We investigated responses of long-finned pilot whales to killer whale sound playbacks and two anthropogenic sources of disturbance: Tagging ... -
(Disulfur dinitrido)triphenylantimony(V)
(2010-04) - Journal articleThe title compound, [Sb(C6H5)(3)(N2S2)], contains a molecular entity that is very similar to that of the known polymorph of Sb(S2N2)Ph-3 [Kunkel et al. (1997). Z. Naturforsch. Teil B, 52, 193-198], differing only in the ... -
Divergence of Casimir stress in inhomogeneous media
(2013-04-05) - Journal articleWe examine the local behavior of the regularized stress tensor commonly used in calculations of the Casimir force for a dielectric medium inhomogeneous in one direction. It is shown that the usual expression for the stress ... -
Diversity in the outcome of dust radial drift in protoplanetary discs
(2014-05-01) - Journal articleThe growth of dust particles into planet embryos needs to circumvent the "radial-drift barrier", i.e. the accretion of dust particles onto the central star by radial migration. The outcome of the dust radial migration is ... -
Diversity is maintained by seasonal variation in species abundance
(2013-09-04) - Journal articleBackground Some of the most marked temporal fluctuations in species abundances are linked to seasons. In theory, multi-species assemblages can persist if species use shared resources at different times, thereby minimizing ... -
Diversity of matriptase expression level and function in breast cancer
(2012-04-13) - Journal articleOverexpression of matriptase has been reported in a variety of human cancers and is sufficient to trigger tumor formation in mice, but the importance of matriptase in breast cancer remains unclear. We analysed matriptase ... -
