A search for brief optical flashes associated with the SETI target KIC 8462852
(IOP Publishing, 2016-02-18)
The F-type star KIC. 8462852 has recently been identified as an exceptional target for search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) observations. We describe an analysis methodology for optical SETI, which we have used ...
An investigation of the Eigenvalue Calibration Method (ECM) using GASP for non-imaging and imaging detectors
(Springer Verlag, 2016-02)
Polarised light from astronomical targets can yield a wealth of information about their source radiation mechanisms, and about the geometry of the scattered light regions. Optical observations, of both the linear and ...
On residual stresses and homeostasis: an elastic theory of functional adaptation in living matter
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-04-26)
Living matter can functionally adapt to external physical factors by developing internal tensions, easily revealed by cutting experiments. Nonetheless, residual stresses intrinsically have a complex spatial distribution, ...
Multiwavelength study of quiescent states of MRK 421 with unprecedented hard x-ray coverage provided by NuSTAR in 2013
(IOP Publishing, 2016)
We present coordinated multiwavelength observations of the bright, nearby BL Lacertae object Mrk 421 taken in 2013 January-March, involving GASP-WEBT, Swift, NuSTAR, Fermi-LAT, MAGIC, VERITAS, and other collaborations and ...
Multiples of Pfister forms
(Elsevier, 2016-03-01)
The isotropy of multiples of Pfister forms is studied. Some classical results are recalled and their consequences presented, with certain of these statements being previously known but hitherto unpublished. In particular, ...
Strain energy function for isotropic non-linear elastic incompressible solids with linear finite strain response in shear and torsion
(Elsevier, 2016-07-18)
We find the strain energy function for isotropic incompressible solids exhibiting a linear relationship between shear stress and amount of shear, and between torque and amount of twist, when subject to large simple shear ...
Spherulization as a process for the exudation of chemical cues by the encrusting sponge C. crambe
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-07-06)
Ecological interactions in the marine environment are now recognized to be partly held by chemical
cues produced by marine organisms. In particular, sponges are sessile animals thought to rely on
the bioactive substances ...
Coiled coil type neoglycoproteins presenting three lactose residues
(Elsevier, 2016-02-06)
Scaffold design, synthesis and application are relevant for biomedical research. For example, multivalent interactions, such as those between cell surface glycoproteins and lectins can influence the potency and duration ...
Lewis acid induced anomerization of se-glycosides. Application to synthesis of alpha-Se-GalCer
(American Chemical Society, 2016-01-22)
The TiCl4 induced anomerization of selenium glycosides of galacturonic acid derivatives is reported. The reaction was successful for galacturonic acid when various alkyl, alkenyl, alkynyl, saccharide, steroid, and lipid ...
Ignition studies of n-heptane/iso-octane/toluene blends
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2016-07-09)
Ignition delay times of four ternary blends of n-heptane/iso-octane/toluene, referred to as Toluene Primary Reference Fuels (TPRFs), have been measured in a high-pressure shock tube and in a rapid compression machine. The ...
