One-day-old Cherry valley meat-strain ducks were used to investigate the effect of supplemental dried oregano powder (DOP) in feed on the productivity, antioxidant enzyme activity, and breast meat quality. One hundred sixty five ducks were assigned to 5 dietary treatments for 42 days. The dietary treatment groups were control group (CON; no antibiotic, no DOP), antibiotic group (ANT; CON+0.1% P...

DOP: delusions of parasitosis ER: emergency room INTRODUCTION Delusions of parasitosis (DOP), a disorder in which patients have a fixed belief that they are infested without evidence, is often a very difficult condition to manage. There are many organic causes of DOP that are potentially reversible. We present a case of DOP secondary to severe anemia. The authors could not find any other case i...

Binge-like patterns of excessive drinking during young adulthood increase the propensity for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) later in adult life; however, the mechanisms that drive this are not completely understood. Previous studies showed that the δ-opioid peptide receptor (DOP-R) is dynamically regulated by exposure to ethanol and that the DOP-R plays a role in ethanol-mediated behaviors. The a...

[1] Here we describe, test, and apply a system of spatially explicit, global models for predicting river export of three dissolved organic matter (DOM) components: dissolved organic carbon (DOC), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), and dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP). The DON and DOP models represent the first attempt to model DON and DOP export in a spatially explicit, global manner. DOC, DON...

در مطالعات زمین‌شناسی و کانی‌شناسی، وجود پوشش‌ گیاهی سالم خشک پیکسل‌های حاوی اطلاعات طیفی اجتناب‌ناپذیر است. بنابراین، بازیابی حد زیرپیکسل، مانند برآورد میزان حضور یک کانی پیکسل از تصاویر سنجش دور ابرطیفی، مسئله‌ای مهم محسوب می‌شود. این پژوهش، روش عمق پیوستار اصلاح‌شدة اثر پوشش (VCCD)، برای کاهش تخمین کانی‌های هدف، با استفاده داده‌های طیف‌سنجی، آزمایشگاهی کانی‌شناسی هایپریون (Hyperion) اصلاح من...

Tannic acid-templated mesoporous silica (TAMS) was synthesized using a simple nonsurfactant template method and dopamine-functionalized TAMS (Dop-TAMS), which was prepared via a biomimetic coating, was developed as a new support for immobilization of NHase (NHase@Dop-TAMS). The Dop-TAMS was thoroughly characterized by the transmission electron microscopy (TEM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM...

This chapter will briefly describe the Alignment-Based Learning (ABL) framework and relate it to Data-Oriented Parsing from different viewpoints. Firstly, ABL can be used to bootstrap an initial treebank, which can then be used by DOP. Secondly, ABL can be used to enhance the robustness of DOP. Thirdly, a DOP model can be used to disambiguate ambiguous syntactic structures found during the lear...

Degree of Polarization (DOP) is an important property of light sources. It directly relates to the accuracy of optical component characterization, the sensitivity of sensor systems, and the quality of optical signals in optical communication systems. Therefore, the accurate and fast characterization of DOP is increasingly important. This article first reviews the fundamentals of DOP and summari...

The Effect of hydroxy isothiocyanates on a bacterial virus and M13 DNA was examined. Hydroxy-substituted phenyl and phenyl alkyl isothiocyanates, especially 2-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)ethyl isothiocyanate(IT-Dop) synthesized from dopamine, showed antiviral activity on psiK. In transfection experiments with M13 mp DNA species, IT-Dop inhibited the single-stranded (SS) molecule more effectively than ...
