Discovery of Variability in the Very High Energy Gamma-Ray Emission of 1ES 1218+304 with VERITAS
(2010)We present results from an intensive VERITAS monitoring campaign of the high-frequency peaked BL Lac object 1ES 1218+304 in 2008/2009. Although 1ES 1218+304 was detected previously by MAGIC and VERITAS at a persistent level ... -
Discovery of Very High-Energy Gamma-Ray Radiation from the BL Lac 1ES 0806+524
(2008)The high-frequency-peaked BL-Lacertae object \objectname{1ES 0806+524}, at redshift z=0.138, was observed in the very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray regime by VERITAS between November 2006 and April 2008. These data encompass ... -
Discovery of VHE $\gamma$-ray emission from the SNR G54.1+0.3
(2010)We report the discovery of very high energy gamma-ray emission from the direction of the SNR G54.1+0.3 using the VERITAS ground-based gamma-ray observatory. The TeV signal has an overall significance of 6.8$\sigma$ and ... -
A discrete P⋅⋅⋅I I⋅⋅⋅P assembly: the large influence of weak interactions on the 31P NMR Spectra of Phosphane–Diiodine Complexes
(Wiley, 2006-02-06)Seeing I to I: The reaction of a weakly coordinating carboranyl phosphane ligand with I2 leads to the formation of an adduct containing the bridging P⋅⋅⋅I[BOND]I⋅⋅⋅P assembly in the solid state (see picture; I purple, P ... -
Discussion between a reservoir engineer and a geologist: permeability identification from completion test data and borehole image logs integration
(39th New Zealand Geothermal Workshop, 2017-11-22)The location of permeable zones, and preliminary quantification of a geothermal well’s production or injection capacity are routinely interpreted from well pressure, temperature, and flow measurements made at different ... -
DNA binding, cleavage and cytotoxicity of a novel dimetallic Fe(III) triaza-cyclononane complex
(Elsevier, 2016-03-03)A novel bimetallic Fe(III) complex with the bis(triaza-cyclononane) ligand 2,6-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-ylmethyl)-4-methylphenol (bcmp) is reported. [Fe-2(bcmp(-H))(mu-OH)Cl-2]Cl-2 (2) contains two octahedral Fe(III) ... -
DNA damage and induction of apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells by a new dinuclear bis(triazacyclonane) copper complex
(Elsevier, 2015-01-26)The dinuclear copper(II) complex [Cu-2{bcmp(-H)}(mu-OH)](NO3)(2)center dot H2O (1, bcmp = 2,6-bis(1,4,7-triazacyclonon-1-ylmethyl)-4-methylphenol) has been synthesized and characterized by electrospray ionization mass ... -
Does the chemical diversity of the Order Haplosclerida (Phylum Porifera: Class Demospongia) fit with current taxonomic classification?
(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2016-05-02)Sponges and their associated microbiota are well known to produce a large diversity of natural products, also called specialized metabolites. In addition to their potential use in the pharmaceutical industry, these rather ... -
Dual-drug amorphous formulation of gliclazide
(Taylor and Francis, 2021-02-01)Amorphization is a well-established strategy to enhance the dissolution properties of poorly water-soluble drugs. However, the amorphous state is inherently unstable toward recrystallization. Coamorphous systems of a drug ... -
Ecological variation in response to mass-flowering oilseed rape and surrounding landscape composition by members of a cryptic bumblebee complex
(Public Library of Science, 2013-06-19)The Bombus sensu stricto species complex is a widespread group of cryptic bumblebee species which are important pollinators of many crops and wild plants. These cryptic species have, until now, largely been grouped together ... -
Edge wrinkling in elastically supported pre-stressed incompressible isotropic plates
(The Royal Society Publishing, 2016-09-07)The equations governing the appearance of flexural static perturbations at the edge of a semi-infinite thin elastic isotropic plate, subjected to a state of homogeneous bi-axial pre-stress, are derived and solved. The plate ... -
The effect of an exterior electric field on the instability of dielectric plates
(The Royal Society, 2020-07-29)We investigate the theoretical nonlinear response, Hessian stability, and possible wrinkling behaviour of a voltage-activated dielectric plate immersed in a tank filled with silicone oil. Fixed rigid electrodes are placed ... -
Effect of individual plasma components on the performance of a glucose enzyme electrode based on redox polymer mediation of a flavin adenine dinucleotide-dependent glucose dehydrogenase
