Bi- to tetravalent glycoclusters presenting GlcNAc/GalNAc as inhibitors: from plant agglutinins to human macrophage galactose-type lectin (CD301) and galectins
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-02-17)
Emerging insights into the functional spectrum of tissue lectins leads to identification of new targets for the custom-made design of potent inhibitors, providing a challenge for synthetic chemistry. The affinity and ...
Ray W Ogden: An Appreciation
(SAGE Publications, 2015-07)
This special issue of Mathematics and Mechanics of Solids is dedicated to Professor Ray Ogden FRS on the occasion
of his 70th birthday. It is a companion volume to another special issue edited by our colleagues ...
FirstNuSTAR observations of MRK 501 within a radio to TeV multi-instrument campaign
(IOP Publishing, 2015-10-10)
We report on simultaneous broadband observations of the TeV-emitting blazar Markarian 501 between 2013 April
1 and August 10, including the first detailed characterization of the synchrotron peak with Swift and NuSTAR.
During ...
Performance analysis of cone detection algorithms
(Optical Society of America, 2015-04-01)
Many algorithms have been proposed to help clinicians evaluate cone density and spacing, as these may be
related to the onset of retinal diseases. However, there has been no rigorous comparison of the performance
of these ...
Unprecedented study of the broadband emission of Mrk 421 during flaring activity in March 2010
(EDP Sciences, 2015-05-27)
Context. Because of its proximity, Mrk 421 is one of the best sources on which to study the nature of BL Lac objects. Its proximity allows us to characterize its broadband spectral energy distribution (SED).
Aims. The ...
Comparative genome analysis identifies novel nucleic acid diagnostic targets for use in the specific detection of Haemophilus influenzae
(Elsevier, 2015-06-23)
Haemophilus influenzae is recognised as an important human pathogen associated with invasive infections, including bloodstream infection and meningitis. Currently used molecular-based diagnostic assays lack specificity in ...
Critical evaluation of thermochemical properties of C-1-C-4 species: updated group-contributions to estimate thermochemical properties
(AIP Publishing, 2015-01-05)
A review of literature on enthalpies of formation and molar entropies for alkanes, alkenes, alcohols, hydroperoxides, and their associated radicals has been compiled and critically evaluated. By comparing literature values, ...
Initial stress symmetry and its applications in elasticity
(The Royal Society, 2015-10-28)
An initial stress within a solid can arise to support external loads or from processes such as thermal expansion in inert matter or growth and remodelling in living materials. For this reason, it is useful to develop a ...
Variability of candidate genes, genetic structure and association with sugar accumulation and climacteric behavior in a broad germplasm collection of melon (Cucumis melo L.)
(BioMed Central, 2015-03-19)
Background: A collection of 175 melon (Cucumis melo L.) accessions (including wild relatives, feral types, landraces, breeding lines and commercial cultivars) from 50 countries was selected to study the phenotypic variability ...
Neurotrophins and B-cell malignancies
(Springer Verlag, 2015-09-23)
Neurotrophins and their receptors act as important proliferative and pro-survival factors in a variety of cell types. Neurotrophins are produced by multiple cell types in both pro and mature forms, and can act in an autocrine ...
