Estimation of turbulent surface heat fluxes using sequences of remotely sensed land surface temperature
… (LST) within a variational data assimilation (VDA) framework. This study provides the theoretical basis for why sequences of LST contain the necessary information to estimate surface fluxes with minimal reliance on ancillary data and empirical parameterizations. Furthermore this study addresses …

Variational data assimilation for two interface problems
<p>“Variational data assimilation (VDA) is a process that uses optimization techniques to determine an initial condition of a dynamical system such that its evolution best fits the observed data. In this dissertation, we develop and analyze the variational data assimilation method with finite …

Distict element numerical modelling of volcanic debris avalanche emplacement geomechanics.
… on Earth. Subsequent volcanic debris avalanche (VDA) runout lengths often exceed 50 km and inundated areas may be greater than 1,000 km2. The geomechanical processes that occur during emplacement, however, remain poorly understood as emplacement processes must generally be inferred from deposit …

The effect of directed attention score study procedures on music majors' error detection in three-part instrumental music
… = 20) studied the voice of directed attention (VDA), which was color highlighted, in silence. Aural group participants (n = 20) studied the VDA in a three-phase treatment: sight-singing the VDA, using a piano and their own singing to correct any errors they perceived in their sight-singing …

Imputation of Microsatellite Markers With Tag SNPs
… methods: Tagger, Vertex Discriminant Analysis (VDA), IMPUTE2, and BEAGLE. We achieve an accuracy of 93% with VDA in our subsample of Caucasians with manual 5-HTTLPR genotypes. Further, we find that for the entire Caucasian subsample without manual genotypes, a majority of the imputation methods …

True Real Time Pose Independent Face Detection Using Color Information and Skin Region Segmentation
… four stages namely, Video Database Acquisition (VDA), Frame Sequence Extraction (FSE), Skin Region Detection (SRD), and K-Mean Face Segmentation (KFS). Initially, the videos in MPEG format are converted to JPEG images depending on the user specified frame rate (FSE phase). During this conversion, …

Functional analysis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis mutations using Drosophila cell culture models
… and RT-qPCR. Pooled variable dose analysis (VDA) was employed to identify genetic interactions that rescue cellular viability. This study focused on kinases and highlighted the effectiveness of pooled VDA in identifying synthetic rescue effects, especially in cells expressing TDP43 wild-type …

Natural Killer Cell Responses to Human Cytomegalovirus
… thesis utilises a viral dissemination assay (VDA) to study the relationship between NK cell function and phenotype in controlling in vitro HCMV infection using healthy HCMV-seropositive and HCMV-seronegative donors. VDA revealed that the antiviral activity of NK cells was not influenced by …

Fluoride Varnish Use Among Dentists in Virginia
… are members of the Virginia Dental Association (VDA) were sent an online survey about usage and knowledge of fluoride varnish. Results: The majority of the respondents were general dentists (79%) followed by pediatric dentists (12%). Fluoride varnish use increased with year of graduation from …

Design and synthesis of dihydronaphthalene vascular disrupting agents and indolequinone-based bioreductives.
… anticancer research, vascular disrupting agents (VDAs) that preferentially target the tumor vasculature show great promise. The naturally occurring combretastatins, especially combretastatin A-4 (CA4) and combretastatin A-1 (CA1), in suitable prodrug form, have proven to be highly effective VDAs. …

The CD4⁺ T Cell Response to Human Cytomegalovirus
… I have utilised a viral dissemination assay (VDA) to study the responses of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs), CD4+ cells, CD8+ T cells, and natural killer (NK) cells to HCMV infection of autologous fibroblasts in healthy HCMV-seropositive and HCMV-seronegative adults, and showed that …

Synthesis and biological evaluation of structurally diverse indole-based analogues as inhibitors of tubulin polymerization and synthesis of drug-linker constructs cleavable by enzymes present in the tumor microenvironment.
… and effective vascular disrupting agents (VDAs). Our previous studies led to the discovery of a potent inhibitor of tubulin polymerization and cancer cell growth, OXi8006, and its water-soluble phosphate prodrug salt, OXi8007, which functioned as a promising VDA in mouse models of cancer. …

Charge detection in semiconductor nanostructures
… field, we show that the dependencies of F on Vda and V can be understood in terms of a simple quantum mechanical model which takes into account variations in the electron energy relative to the top of the tunnel barriers separating the dot from the leads. We also show that the tunneling is …

A mechanistic assessment of novel anticancer drugs targeting the metastatic cascade and tumour vascularisation.
… are vascular-disrupting agents (VDA) that target already established tumour blood vessels, and compounds with antiangiogenic acitivity that interfere with processes during the formation of new blood vessels. Most vascular-disrupting agents bind to tubulin and mediate blood vessel …

Caracterización epidemiológica del Fenotipo Rh-Kell en la población de donantes altruistas de sangre, y elaboración de base de datos de donantes para Terapia Transfusional del Hospital San Juan de Dios de Santa Ana, de abril a septiembre de 2018
Habiéndose iniciado la terapia transfusional en el siglo XIX con una trasfusión oral debió pasar mucho tiempo hasta realizar exitosamente una transfusión, desde el descubrimiento de los antígenos eritrocitarios que dieron paso a la fenotipificacion y asignación de grupos sanguíneos, luego …
