The two regions of the Epstein-Barr virus genome carrying partially homologous clusters of short tandem repeats (DSL and DSR [duplicated sequences, left and right, respectively] ) are transcribed into polyadenylated RNA upon spontaneous or chemical induction of the lytic virus cycle. In Raji, an Epstein-Barr virus genome carrying a nonproducer cell line, transcription of DSL and DSR is only obs...

DT neutron yield (Y(n)), ion temperature (T(i)), and down-scatter ratio (dsr) determined from measured neutron spectra are essential metrics for diagnosing the performance of inertial confinement fusion (ICF) implosions at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). A suite of neutron-time-of-flight (nTOF) spectrometers and a magnetic recoil spectrometer (MRS) have been implemented in different locat...

We estimated nesting success of a breeding bird assemblage in the central Monte Desert in four breeding seasons (1995–1999). We analyzed the effect of year, period within the breeding season, nest type, and nest location on daily survival rates (DSR). Averaged nesting success of passeriforms in natural habitats was very low ( 20% on average, n=12 species). DSR tended to be lower during the egg-...

Enhancement of neurotransmission mediated at N-methyl-D-aspartate subtype of glutamate receptors (NMDAR) may be beneficial in post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). d-serine (DSR) is an endogenous full agonist at the NMDAR-associated glycine modulatory site. Twenty-two chronic PTSD outpatients were randomly assigned to participate in a 6-wk double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial with...

The Dynamic Source Routing protocol (DSR) is a simple and efficient routing protocol designed specifically for use in multi-hop wireless ad hoc networks of mobile nodes. DSR allows the network to be completely self-organizing and self-configuring, without the need for any existing network infrastructure or administration. The protocol is composed of the two main mechanisms of "Route Discovery" ...

The Schoeller model for calculating rate of CO2 production (rCO2) from doubly labeled water (DLW) relies on the assumption that deuterium and oxygen-18 overestimate body water by 4 and 1%, respectively. However, the deuterium-to-oxygen-18 dilution space ratio (DSR) varies considerably, and it is unknown whether this is due to analytical or biological sources. From 161 published values in adult ...
