    • Dead Ends In Dostoevsky 
      Pawelek, Tim (1976)
      The purpose of this paper is to examine those cul-de-sac images in Dostoevsky's major novels in which the villains--principally Svidrigailov in Crime and Punishment, Stavrogin in The Possessed, and Smerdyakov in The Brothers ...
    • DECAY HEAT CONDITIONS OF CURRENT AND NEXT GENERATION REACTORS 
      Choe, JongSoo 1985- (2012-05-04)
      Decay heat is an important parameter in reactor design. Fission products generate heat in the reactor core even when the reactor has shut down. This heat has potential to melt the core if heat removal is not sufficient, ...
    • Decellularized Liver Biomatrices as a Model for 3D Cancer Metastasis 
      Farris, Heather A (2021-05-04)
      Ovarian cancer is metastatic at the time of diagnosis, with the liver being one of the most common sites of metastasis. Infiltrative liver metastases are not amenable to optimal surgical removal; moreover, liver metastases ...
