This paper describes a new reconstruction method for digital breast tomosynthesis (DBT). The new method incorporates detector blur into the forward model. The detector blur introduces correlation in the measurement noise. We formulate it as a regularized quadratic optimization problem with data-fit term that accounts for the non-diagonal noise covariance matrix. By making a few assumptions base...

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an empirically supported treatment that was originally developed for chronically suicidal adults. Since the publication of the original treatment manual, DBT has been reconceptualized as a treatment that is broadly applicable for individuals who have difficulties regulating emotion. As such, the treatment can be applied transdiagnostically. Based on the fle...

This study attempted to elucidate the controversy surrounding the experiments of Ungar examining the effects of scotophobin on dark preference in mice. The behavior of 45 noninjected mice in the type of maze described by Ungar was examined. Seven subsequent tests were conducted for dark box time (DBT) and motor activity. In general, the results indicated that DBT in all subpopulations of mice s...

Protein phosphorylation plays an essential role in the generation of circadian rhythms, regulating the stability, activity, and subcellular localization of certain proteins that constitute the biological clock. This study examines the role of the protein kinase Doubletime (DBT), a Drosophila ortholog of human casein kinase I (CKI)epsilon/delta. An enzymatically active DBT protein is shown to di...

Based on the results described in the literature on the reactivity of sodium towards DBT and its derivates, the effect of sodium dispersed on the surface of a carbonaceous support on the removal of DBT from hexane solution at ambient conditions has been investigated. Since the main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the effect of sodium on the reactive adsorption of DBT from an organic s...

Re/Pd-TiO2/SiO2 aerogel catalysts were synthesized by using a sol-gel method and supercritical drying in excess solvent investigated the reaction of hydrodesulphurisation (HDS) dibenzothiophene (DBT) 4,6-dimethyl (4,6-DMDBT). Both Re/Pd catalysts, obtained with without use mesitylene synthesis step, have shown increased conversions up to 70 % desulphurization 4,6-DMDBT, when compared convention...

Approximately one third of adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities have emotion dysregulation and challenging behaviors (CBs). Although research has not yet confirmed that existing treatments adequately reduce CBs in this population, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) holds promise, as it has been shown to effectively reduce CBs in other emotionally dysregulated populations. Thi...

Serious postoperative psycho-neurological dysfunction is at least partially attributed to the occurrence of gaseous microbubbles in the arterial line of extracorporeal circulation (ECC). Therefore, we investigated in a prospective randomized double blind study whether the usage of dynamic bubble trap (DBT) will reduce microbubble load of patients undergoing aortic valve replacement. Patients (n...

Dibenzothiophene (DBT) and their derivatives, accounting for the major part of the sulfur components in crude oil, make one of the most significant pollution sources. The DBT sulfone monooxygenase BdsA, one of the key enzymes in the "4S" desulfurization pathway, catalyzes the oxidation of DBT sulfone to 2'-hydroxybiphenyl 2-sulfonic acid (HBPSi). Here, we determined the crystal structure of Bds...
