Detection of shorter-than-skin-depth acoustic pulses in a metal film via transient reflectivity
(American Institute of Physics, 2012-07)Short acoustic pulses are generated in SrRuO[subscript 3] transducers and detected at the surface of gold films by transient reflectivity. Contrary to expectations, acoustic pulses that are shorter than the optical skin ... -
Detection of single-molecule H₂O₂ signalling from epidermal growth factor receptor using fluorescent single-walled carbon nanotubes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2010-03)An emerging concept in cell signalling is the natural role of reactive oxygen species such as hydrogen peroxide (H₂O₂) as beneficial messengers in redox signalling pathways. The nature of H₂O₂ signalling is confounded, ... -
Detection of the kinematic Sunyaev–Zel'dovich effect with DES Year 1 and SPT
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016)© 2016 The Authors. We detect the kinematic Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (kSZ) effect with a statistical significance of 4.2θ by combining a cluster catalogue derived from the first year data of the Dark Energy Survey with cosmic ... -

Detection of the lunar body tide by the Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2014-04)The Lunar Orbiter Laser Altimeter instrument onboard the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft collected more than 5 billion measurements in the nominal 50 km orbit over ~10,000 orbits. The data precision, geodetic ... -
Detection of the Second R-Process Peak Element Tellurium in Metal-Poor Stars
(IOP Publishing, 2012-02)Using near-ultraviolet spectra obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph on board the Hubble Space Telescope, we detect neutral tellurium in three metal-poor stars enriched by products of r-process nucleosynthesis, ... -
Detection of the Temporal Variation of the Sun's Cosmic Ray Shadow with the IceCube Detector
(IOP Publishing, 2019-02)We report on the observation of a deficit in the cosmic ray flux from the directions of the Moon and Sun with five years of data taken by the IceCube Neutrino Observatory. Between 2010 May and 2011 May the IceCube detector ... -
Detection of thermal emission from a super-earth
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2012-05)We report on the detection of infrared light from the super-Earth 55 Cnc e, based on four occultations obtained with Warm Spitzer at 4.5 μm. Our data analysis consists of a two-part process. In a first step, we perform ... -
Detection of two interstellar polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons via spectral matched filtering
(American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), 2021)Unidentified infrared emission bands are ubiquitous in many astronomical sources. These bands are widely, if not unanimously, attributed to collective emissions from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) molecules, yet no ... -
Detection, prevalence, and transmission of avian hematozoa in waterfowl at the Arctic/sub-Arctic interface: co-infections, viral interactions, and sources of variation
(BioMed Central, 2016-07)Background The epidemiology of avian hematozoa at high latitudes is still not well understood, particularly in sub-Arctic and Arctic habitats, where information is limited regarding seasonality and range of transmission, ... -
Detection, reconstruction, and characterization algorithms from noisy data in multistatic wave imaging
(American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 2014-10)The detection, localization, and characterization of a collection of targets embedded in a medium is an important problem in multistatic wave imaging. The responses between each pair of source and receiver are collected ... -
Detector architecture of the wide-field infrared transient explorer (WINTER) InGaAs camera
(SPIE, 2020)© SPIE. Downloading of the abstract is permitted for personal use only. We present the InGaAs detector system of the Wide-Field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER), a new infrared instrument operating on a 1 meter robotic ... -
Detector Calibration for the Micro-X Sounding Rocket X-ray Telescope
(Springer US, 2018-09-17)Abstract Micro-X is a sounding rocket-borne X-ray telescope that uses a transition edge sensor microcalorimeter array to provide high-energy-resolution spectroscopy. Micro-X is a versatile instrument with ... -

Detector Fabrication Yield for SuperCDMS Soudan
(Springer US, 2014-02)The SuperCDMS collaboration is presently operating a 9 kg Ge payload at the Soudan Underground Laboratory in their direct search for dark matter. The Ge detectors utilize double-sided athermal phonon sensors with an ... -
Determinantal measures related to big q-Jacobi polynomials
(Springer US, 2015-09)We define a novel combinatorial object—the extended Gelfand—Tsetlin graph with cotransition probabilities depending on a parameter q. The boundary of this graph admits an explicit description. We introduce a family of ... -
Determinants of BH3 Binding Specificity for Mcl-1 versus BcI-x[subscript L]
(Elsevier, 2010-04)Interactions among Bcl-2 family proteins are important for regulating apoptosis. Prosurvival members of the family interact with proapoptotic BH3 (Bcl-2-homology-3)-only members, inhibiting execution of cell death through ... -
Determinants of Community Integration Among Formerly Homeless Veterans Who Received Supportive Housing
(Frontiers Media SA, 2019-06)Community integration is recognized as a meaningful goal that is highly relevant to the long-term success of supportive housing programs. Research to date highlights concerns that some individuals in permanent supportive ... -
Determinants of Divergent Adaptation and Dobzhansky-Muller Interaction in Experimental Yeast Populations
(Elsevier, 2010-07)Divergent adaptation can be associated with reproductive isolation in speciation [1]. We recently demonstrated the link between divergent adaptation and the onset of reproductive isolation in experimental populations of ... -
Determinants of GBP Recruitment to Toxoplasma gondii Vacuoles and the Parasitic Factors That Control It
(Public Library of Science, 2011-09)IFN-γ is a major cytokine that mediates resistance against the intracellular parasite Toxoplasma gondii. The p65 guanylate-binding proteins (GBPs) are strongly induced by IFN-γ. We studied the behavior of murine GBP1 (mGBP1) ...
