VERITAS detection of gamma-ray flaring activity from the BL LAC object 1ES 1727+502 during bright moonlight observations
(American Astronomical Society, 2015-08-01)
During moonlit nights, observations with ground-based Cherenkov telescopes at very high energies (VHEs, E > 100 GeV) are constrained since the photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) in the telescope camera are extremely sensitive ...
Merging carbohydrate chemistry with lectin histochemistry to study inhibition of lectin binding by glycoclusters in the natural tissue context
(Springer, 2015-11-09)
Recognition of glycans by lectins leads to cell adhesion and growth regulation. The specificity and selectivity of this process are determined by carbohydrate structure (sequence and shape) and topology of its presentation. ...
Functional responses and adaptation of mesophilic microbial communities to psychrophilic anaerobic digestion
(Oxford University Press, 2015-10-27)
Psychrophilic (<20°C) anaerobic digestion (AD) represents an attractive alternative to mesophilic wastewater treatment. In order to investigate the AD microbiome response to temperature change, with particular emphasis on ...
Fluorescence analysis of thermoresponsive polymers
(Springer Verlag, 2015-12-18)
The use of microscale thin polymer films is widespread in biomedical science and engineering, with applications in areas such as tissue engineering, drug delivery, microfluidic devices, bio-adhesion mediators, and ...
The mod 2 cohomology rings of SL2 of the imaginary quadratic integers
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2015-09-28)
We establish general dimension formulae for the second page of the equivariant spectral sequence of the action of the SL2 groups over imaginary quadratic integers on their associated symmetric space. By way of doing this, ...
Generation of a panel of high affinity antibodies and development of a biosensor-based immunoassay for the detection of okadaic acid in shellfish
(Elsevier, 2015-07-10)
Okadaic acid (OA) and its derivatives, DTX-1 and DTX-2, are marine biotoxins associated with diarrhetic shellfish poisoning. Routine monitoring of these toxins relies on the mouse bioassay. However, due to the technical ...
A recent change in the optical and gamma ray polarization of the Crab nebula and pulsar
(Oxford journals, 2015-12-31)
We report on observations of the polarization of optical and γ-ray photons from the Crab nebula and pulsar system using the Galway Astronomical Stokes Polarimeter (GASP), the Hubble Space Telescope, Advanced Camera for ...
Engineering a therapeutic lectin by uncoupling mitogenicity from antiviral activity
(Elsevier, 2015-10-22)
A key effector route of the Sugar Code involves lectins that exert crucial regulatory controls by targeting distinct cellular glycans. We demonstrate that a¿¿single amino-acid substitution in a banana lectin, replacing ...
