The 2009 multiwavelength campaign on Mrk 421: variability and correlation studies
Gillanders, Gary; Lang, Mark; Gillanders, Gary; Lang, Mark; Moriarty, P. (EDP Sciences, 2015-04-17)Aims. We perform an extensive characterization of the broadband emission of Mrk 421, as well as its temporal evolution, during the non-flaring (low) state. The high brightness and nearby location (z = 0.031) of Mrk 421 ... -
A7 Makaroro River dam site Phase 1C: Field characterisation of possible secondary fault displacement
Langridge, R. M.; Villamor, P.; Litchfield, N. J.; Page, M.; Ries, W.; Ansell, I. A.; McNamara, David D.; Martin Gonzalez, F. (GNS Science, 2013)GNS Science has undertaken a field study to investigate the possibility of active secondary faulting in the vicinity of the proposed A7 dam site on the Makaroro River, central Hawke’s Bay. The A7 site is located c. 750 ... -
Accounting for the fringe magnetic field from the bending magnet in a Monte Carlo accelerator treatment head simulation
O' Shea, Tuathan P.; Foley, Mark J. (American Institute of Physics, 2011)Purpose: Monte Carlo (MC) simulation can be used for accurate electron beam treatment planning and modeling. Measurement of large electron fields, with the applicator removed and secondary collimator wide open, has been ... -
Acoustic waves at the interface of a pre-stressed incompressible elastic solid and a viscous fluid
Destrade, Michel (Elsevier, 2006-11-10)We analyse the influence of pre-stress on the propagation of interfacial waves along the boundary of an incompressible hyperelastic half-space that is in contact with a viscous fluid extending to infinity in the adjoining ... -
Additive tuning redox potential in metallacarboranes by sequencial halogen substitution
González-Cardoso, Patricia; Stoica, Anca-Lulia; Farràs, Pau; Pepiol, Ariadna; Viñas, Clara; Teixidor, Francesc (Wiley, 2010-04-21)The first artificially made set of electron acceptors is presented that are derived from a unique platform Cs[3,3′-Co(C2B9H11)2], for which the redox potential of each differs from its predecessor by a fixed amount. The ... -
Adsorption and conformations of lysozyme and α-lactalbumin at a water-octane interface
Cheung, David L. (AIP Publishing, 2017-11)As proteins contain both hydrophobic and hydrophilic amino acids, they will readily adsorb onto interfaces between water and hydrophobic fluids such as oil. This adsorption normally causes changes in the protein structure, ... -
Aggregation of nanoparticles on one and two-component bilayer membranes
Cheung, David L. (AIP Publishing, 2014)Using dissipative particle dynamics simulations the aggregation of nanoparticles on single and two-component bilayers is investigated. For a uniform bilayer the aggregation of nanoparticlesdepends strongly on the location ... -
An algorithm for the unit group of the Burnside ring of a finite group
Boltje, Robert; Pfeiffer, Götz (Cambridge University Press, 2007-01)In this note we present an algorithm for the construction of the unit group of the Burnside ring Ω(G) of a finite group G from a list of representatives of the conjugacy classes of subgroups of G. -
Allelopathic interactions between the brown algal genus lobophora (dictyotales, phaeophyceae) and scleractinian corals
Vieira, Christophe; Thomas, Olivier P.; Culioli, Gerald; Genta-Jouve, Gregory; Houlbreque, Fanny; Gaubert, Julie; De Clerck, Olivier; Payri, Claude E. (Nature Publishing Group, 2016-01-05)Allelopathy has been recently suggested as a mechanism by which macroalgae may outcompete corals in damaged reefs. Members of the brown algal genus Lobophora are commonly observed in close contact with scleractinian corals ... -
Alternating bimetallic Na/Mn covalent and ionic chains
Berg, Nelly; Jones, Leigh F. (RSC, 2010-07-30)The first coordination polymers constructed using the 2,2'-biphenol ligand are described along with their ionic supramolecular counterparts. -
Analogues of Goldschmidt's thesis for fusion systems
Park, Sejong (Elsevier, 2010-12-15)We extend the results of David Goldschmidt's thesis concerning fusion in finite groups to saturated fusion systems and to all primes. -
Analysis of an Observational Studies - An Example Using Data from the Irish Cancer Registry
Dooley, Cara; Hinde, John (2011)The study presented below aimed to compare survival of colorectal cancer patients against survival of a sub-population with a secondary disease, in ammatory bowel disease (IBD). The data were taken from a observational ... -

Application of vibrational spectroscopy to study solid-state transformations of pharmaceuticals
Erxleben, Andrea (2016-09-01)Understanding the properties, stability and transformations of the solid-state forms of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in the development pipeline is of crucial importance for process-development, formulation ... -
Assessing the predictions of a NOx kinetic mechanism on recent hydrogen and syngas experimental data
Zhang, Yingjia; Mathieu, Olivier; Petersen, Eric L.; Bourque, Gilles; Curran, Henry J. (Elsevier, 2017-05-02)A detailed chemical kinetic mechanism has been developed to describe the pyrolysis and oxidation of the hydrogen/NOx and syngas/NOx systems. The thermodynamic data of nitrogenous compounds have been updated based on the ... -
