Degradation of perfluorinated sulfonic acid films: An in-situ infrared spectro-electrochemical study
(2009)The in-situ Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectro-electrochemical method was used to evaluate the degradation mechanism of perfluorinated sulfonic acid (PFSA) polymer for the first time. The effect of H 2O 2 concentration ... -
Degradation products of the process of thermal recovery of copper from lamina scraps in lab-scale fluidized bed reactor
(2004)This paper presents experimental results dealing with a process for recovering copper in the scrap composite materials issued from electronic laminas industry. This environment-friendly process consists in the thermal ... -
The Degree of Internationalization and Firm Productivity: Empirical Evidence from Large Multinationals
(2022)This paper examines whether the S-shaped and M-shaped hypotheses explain the internalization firm's productivity relationship. The internationalization–performance (I–P) literature uses accounting-based performance indicators ... -

A delay based optimization scheme for peak load reduction in the smart grid
(2012)A measurement campaign based on commodity wireless sensors shows that the majority of thermostatic loads in a user premise are described by periodic pulse waves. The superposition of these loads results to high peak power ... -
Delay differential equations enriched with nonlinear gain compression for passively mode-locked semiconductor lasers
(2021)Non-linear gain compression is well-known to play an important role in the dynamics of short-pulse generation and propagation in semiconductor lasers. Here, a previously reported delay differential equation model for ... -
A delay-resilient and quality-aware mechanism over incomplete contextual data streams
(2016)We study the case of scheduling a Contextual Information Process (CIP) over incomplete multivariate contextual data streams coming from sensing devices in Internet of Things (IoT) environments. CIPs like data fusion, concept ... -
Delayed diagnosis of Prader-Willi syndrome in a 24 year-old patient
(2010)Background: Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS) is the most common known genetic cause of life-threatening obesity in children. The purpose of the study was to present the case of a delayed diagnosis of PWS in a 24-year-old male ... -
Delayed mortality, resistance and the sweet spot, as the good, the bad and the ugly in phosphine use
(2021)Phosphine is the most commonly used gas for fumigation for durable commodities globally, but there is still inadequate information regarding its efficacy in conjunction with proper concentration monitoring. In a series of ... -
Deletion of 4.4 Mb at 2q33.2q33.3 May Cause Growth Deficiency in a Patient with Mental Retardation, Facial Dysmorphic Features and Speech Delay
(2015)A patient with a rare interstitial deletion of chromosomal band 2q33.2q33.3 is described. The clinical features resembled the 2q33.1 microdeletion syndrome (Glass syndrome), including mental retardation, facial dysmorphism, ... -
The deletion operation in xBR-trees
(2012)In order to design a spatial index, the most important operations are: insertion, deletion and search. We focus on the deletion operation over the xBR-tree, a spatial data secondary memory structure that belongs to the ... -
Delineation and interpretation of gene networks towards their effect in cellular physiology- a reverse engineering approach for the identification of critical molecular players, through the use of ontologies
(2010)Exploiting ontologies, provides clues regarding the involvement of certain molecular processes in the cellular phenotypic manifestation. However, identifying individual molecular actors (genes, proteins, etc.) for targeted ... -
Delineation of management zones in an apple orchard in Greece using a multivariate approach
(2013)Management zone (MZ) delineation is important for the application of Precision Agriculture because farm management decisions are based on it. Several factors were used for the MZ delineation including crop and soil ... -
Delineation of management zones in an apple orchard: Correlations between yield and soil properties
(2011)In the present paper the yield and soil spatial variability in an apple orchard was studied. Apples were collected manually and placed in plastic bins along the tree rows. Yield per ten trees was weighted and the geographical ... -
Delivering Beauveria bassiana with electrostatic powder for the control of stored-product beetles
(2017)BACKGROUND: The efficacy of a Beauveria bassiana-based formulation (Bb38) with Entostat, an electrostatically charged powder, was investigated as a surface treatment against Cryptolestes ferrugineus, Oryzaephilus surinamensis ... -
Delocalization of Labour Intensive Activities in a Globalized World: Can Things Become Better for the Countries of Southeast Europe?
(2017)This chapter explores the recent trends surrounding foreign direct investment (FDI) in the Balkans, within the wider context of increasing globalization and expansion of FDI and trade to developing and accession countries. ... -
Delphinidin diminishes in vitro interferon-γ and interleukin-17 producing cells in patients with psoriatic disease
(2022)The anthocyanidin delphinidin reduces psoriasiform lesions and inflammatory mediators in human cell culture systems. Its role in psoriatic disease has not yet been investigated. We assessed delphinidin’s in vitro ...
