1064 nm acoustic resolution photoacoustic microscopy
(Wiley, 2018-12-03)Photoacoustic imaging is a noninvasive imaging technique having the advantages of high-optical contrast and good acoustic resolution at improved imaging depths. Light transport in biological tissues is mainly characterized ... -
The 2008 Outburst in the Young Stellar System Z CMa: The First Detection of Twin Jets
(2010)The Z CMa binary is understood to undergo both FU Orionis (FUOR) and EX Orionis (EXOR) type outbursts. While the SE component has been spectro- scopically identified as an FUOR, the NW component, a Herbig Be star, is the ... -
The 2009 multiwavelength campaign on Mrk 421: variability and correlation studies
(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 ... -

(MDPI, 2020-06-03)(2S,3R,6R)-2-[(R)-1-Hydroxyallyl]-4,4-dimethoxy-6-methyltetrahydro-2H-pyran-3-ol was isolated in 18% after treating the glucose derived (5R,6S,7R)-5,6,7-tris[(triethylsilyl)oxy]nona-1,8-dien-4-one with (1S)-(+)-10-camphorsulfonic ... -
A7 Makaroro River dam site Phase 1C: Field characterisation of possible secondary fault displacement
(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 ... -
An ab initio/transition state theory study of the reactions of Ċ5H9 species of relevance to 1,3-Pentadiene, Part II: Pressure dependent rate constants and implications for combustion modeling
(American Chemical Society, 2020-05-12)The temperature- and pressure-dependence of rate constants for several radicals and unsaturated hydrocarbons reactions (1,3-C5H8/1,4-C5H8/cyC(5)H(8) + (H)over dot, C2H4 + (C)over dot(3)H5-a, C3H6 + (C)over dot(2)H(3)) are ... -
Accessing depth-resolved high spatial frequency content from the optical coherence tomography signal
(Nature Research, 2021-08-24)Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a rapidly evolving technology with a broad range of applications, including biomedical imaging and diagnosis. Conventional intensity-based OCT provides depth-resolved imaging with a ... -
Accessing the cohomology of discrete groups above their virtual cohomological dimension
(2014)We introduce a method to explicitly determine the Farrell-Tate cohomology of discrete groups. We apply this method to the Coxeter triangle and tetrahedral groups as well as to the Bianchi groups, i.e. PSL_2 over the ring ... -
Accounting for the fringe magnetic field from the bending magnet in a Monte Carlo accelerator treatment head simulation
(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 ... -
Accurate anisotropy recovery from fluorophore mixtures using Multivariate Curve Resolution (MCR)
(Elsevier, 2017-11-22)Anisotropy resolved multidimensional emission spectroscopy (ARMES) provides valuable insights into multi-fluorophore systems like proteins that have complex overlapping emission bands. The method combines multidimensional ... -
Acoustic waves at the interface of a pre-stressed incompressible elastic solid and a viscous fluid
(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 ... -
Actively controllable topological phase transition in phononic beam systems
(Elsevier, 2020-05-01)Topological insulators, which allow edge or interface waves but forbid bulk waves, have revolutionized our scientific cognition of acoustic/elastic systems. Due to their nontrivial topological characteristics, edge (interface) ... -
Additive tuning redox potential in metallacarboranes by sequencial halogen substitution
(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 ... -
Adenylate Cyclase Toxin from Bordetella pertussis Synergizes with Lipopolysaccharide To Promote Innate Interleukin-10 Production and Enhances the Induction of Th2 and Regulatory T Cells
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004-03)Adenylate cyclase toxin (CyaA) from Bordetella pertussis can subvert host immune responses allowing bacterial colonization. Here we have examined its adjuvant and immunomodulatory properties and the possible contribution ... -
Adsorption and conformations of lysozyme and α-lactalbumin at a water-octane interface
(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, ... -
