One-pot hydrogen peroxide and hydrohalic acid induced ring closure and selective aromatic halogenation to give new ring-fused benzimidazoles
(American Chemical Society, 2015-05-19)
A new series of selectively dichlorinated and dibrominated five- to eight-membered-ring [1,2-a]-fused benzimidazoles and [1,4]oxazino[4,3-a]benzimidazoles are synthesized in mostly high yields of >80% using the reaction ...
Toward a predictive assessment of stab-penetration forces
(Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2015-09)
Collaborative research between the disciplines of forensic pathology and biomechanics was undertaken to investigate the hyperelastic properties of human skin, to determine the force required for sharp instrument penetration ...
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 ...
RAFT polymerization in supercritical carbon dioxide based on an induced precipitation approach: synthesis of 2-ethoxyethyl methacrylate/acrylamide block copolymers
(Wiley, 2015-05-13)
A new controlled/living heterogeneous polymerization technique using RAFT in benign supercritical CO2 is described involving the formation of monomer-swollen seed particles by precipitation of macroRAFT agent prior to ...
The study of neutron star magnetospheres with LOFT
(2015)
The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing, LOFT, is designed to perform fast X-ray timing and spectroscopy
with uniquely large throughput (Feroci et al. 2014). LOFT focuses on two fundamental questions of
ESA’s Cosmic Vision ...
The most powerful flaring activity from the NLSyl PMN J0948+0022
(Oxford University Press, 2015-01-21)
We report on multifrequency observations performed during 2012 December-2013 August of the first narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy detected in gamma-rays, PMN J0948+0022 (z = 0.5846). A y -ray flare was observed by the Large ...
Experimental and kinetic modeling study of the shock tube ignition of a large oxygenated fuel: tri-propylene glycol mono-methyl ether
(Elsevier, 2015-05-13)
Tri-propylene glycol monomethyl ether (TPGME) is an important oxygenated fuel additive that can be used to reduce soot in diesel engines. However, a validated chemical kinetic model that incorporates the low- to high-temperature ...
Gamma-rays from the quasar PKS 1441+25: story of an escape
(2015-12-20)
Outbursts from gamma-ray quasars provide insights on the relativistic jets of active galactic nuclei and constraints on the diffuse radiation fields that fill the universe. The detection of significant emission above 100 ...
A search for pulsations from Geminga above 100 GeV with VERITAS
(American Astronomical Society, 2015-02-10)
We present the results of 71.6 hr of observations of the Geminga pulsar (PSR J0633+1746) with the VERITAS very-high-energy gamma-ray telescope array. Data taken with VERITAS between 2007 November and 2013 February were ...
VERITAS observations of the BL Lac object PG 1553+113
(American Astronomical Society, 2015-01-20)
We present results from VERITAS observations of the BL Lac object PG 1553+113 spanning the years 2010, 2011, and 2012. The time-averaged spectrum, measured between 160 and 560 GeV, is well described by a power law with a ...
