D-lactic acid metabolism and control of acidosis
(2009)D-lactic acidosis (DLA) is a disease associated with D-lactatemia, acidosis and neurological signs. However, these associations are ill-defined. Bacterial fermentation in the intestine causes increasing D-lactic acid ... -
D-Lactic acidosis : Studies in neonatal diarrhea and effects of processing and storage on lactate concentrations in blood
(2012-05-24)D-lactate is a significant contributor to acidosis in diarrheic calves. To ensure an accurate measure of D- and L- lactate, this study investigated storage dependent changes in D- and L-lactate concentrations in plasma ... -
D.H. Lawrence's last poems : "A Dark Cloud of Sadness"
(2008)This thesis is an examination of depression in D.H. Lawrence’s Last Poems in the light of Julia Kristeva’s theory of depressive discourse. Kristeva theorizes in Black Sun that depressed persons have difficulty communicating ... -
The dairy industry in Saskatchewan
(1971)The purpose of this study is to determine and explain the reasons for the decline of the dairy industry in Saskatchewan. The physical environment, historical, economic and political factors were believed to be important ... -
Damage Evolution in AA2099 and AA6061 Aluminum Alloys Under Quasi-static and Dynamic Mechanical Loading
(2011-09-22)In this research, the behavior of AA2099 and AA6061 aluminum alloys under quasi-static and dynamic mechanical loading conditions was examined. The effects of temper condition on the dynamic response of both alloys were ... -

(2014-04-08)Male partner violence involves repeated abuse, committed by an intimate partner, someone you know and care about, over a period of time. A woman who has experienced this unimaginable betrayal by her intimate partner, the ... -
Damping interarea and torsional oscillations using FACTS devices
(2005-05-05)A problem of interest in the power industry is the mitigation of interarea and torsional oscillations. Interarea oscillations are due to the dynamics of interarea power transfer and often exhibit poor damping when the ... -
Damping power system oscillations using a phase imbalanced hybrid series capacitive compensation scheme
(2010-10)Interconnection of electric power systems is becoming increasingly widespread as part of the power exchange between countries as well as regions within countries in many parts of the world. There are numerous examples of ... -
DAMPING POWER SYSTEM OSCILLATIONS USING A STATCOM AND A PHASE IMBALANCED HYBRID SERIES CAPACITIVE COMPENSATION SCHEME
(2013-03-06)Interconnection of remotely power systems with large generation capacity and system load is progressively widespread due to the increase of the power exchanges between countries as well as regions within countries in many ... -
Damping Power System Oscillations Using an SSSC-Based Hybrid Series Capacitive Compensation Scheme
(2011-09-13)Interconnection of electric power systems is becoming increasingly widespread as part of the power exchange between countries as well as regions within countries in many parts of the world. There are numerous examples of ... -
Damping subsynchronous resonance oscillations using a VSC HVDC back-to-back system
(2006-06-07)A problem of interest in the power industry is the mitigation of severe torsional oscillations induced in turbine-generator shaft systems due to Subsynchronous Resonance (SSR). SSR occurs when a natural frequency of a ... -
