Dubai Shopping Festival
Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF; ) is an annual month long event put together by the Dubai Festivals & Retail Establishment (DFRE), which is a part of Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism. During the festival, shops offer discounts on their merchandise, daily car raffles and prize drawings are held to win items such as gold and cars, and there is a fireworks display. There are also a range of family activities and live shows that take place throughout Dubai. History The Festival first began on 16 February 1996 and took a total of 45 days to construct before launching. The idea for the festival was first created by Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. The year 2019 is its 24th year of operation. The 24th edition of the Dubai Shopping Festival from 2018 to 2019 will take place for over five weeks, which marks the longest period of time that the festival has run so far. "One World, One Family, One Festival" is the motto for the Dubai Shopping Fes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Digital Solidarity Fund
The Digital solidarity fund (DSF, also known by its French name Fonds mondial de solidarité numérique/FSN) was a fund that aimed to reduce the global digital divide, established following talks which took place during the World Summit on the Information Society in Tunis in 2005. The foundation operated under Swiss law with its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland. The DSF has been described as "woefully wasteful, or at least grossly mismanaged". It was dissolved in 2009. The DSF was open to voluntary funding and did not rely on governmental help to function.

Distortion Synthesis
In signal processing, distortion is the alteration of the original shape (or other characteristic) of a signal. In communications and electronics it means the alteration of the waveform of an information-bearing signal, such as an audio signal representing sound or a video signal representing images, in an electronic device or communication channel. Distortion is usually unwanted, and so engineers strive to eliminate or minimize it. In some situations, however, distortion may be desirable. For example, in noise reduction systems like the Dolby system, an audio signal is deliberately distorted in ways that emphasize aspects of the signal that are subject to electrical noise, then it is symmetrically "undistorted" after passing through a noisy communication channel, reducing the noise in the received signal. Distortion is also used as a musical effect, particularly with electric guitars. The addition of noise or other outside signals ( hum, interference) is not considered dis ...

Thermal Shift Assay
A thermal shift assay (TSA) measures changes in the thermal denaturation temperature and hence stability of a protein under varying conditions such as variations in drug concentration, buffer formulation ( pH or ionic strength), redox potential, or sequence mutation. The most common method for measuring protein thermal shifts is differential scanning fluorimetry (DSF). DSF methodology includes techniques such as nanoDSF, which relies on the intrinsic fluorescence from native tryptophan or tyrosine residues, and Thermofluor, which utilizes extrinsic fluorogenic dyes. The binding of low molecular weight ligands can increase the thermal stability of a protein, as described by Daniel Koshland (1958) and Kaj Ulrik Linderstrøm-Lang and Schellman (1959). Almost half of enzymes require a metal ion co-factor. Thermostable proteins are often more useful than their non-thermostable counterparts, e.g., DNA polymerase in the polymerase chain reaction, so protein engineering often includes a ...
