Investigation of nanoscale structural alterations of cell nucleus as an early sign of cancer
(BioMed Central, 2014)
Background: The cell and tissue structural properties assessed with a conventional bright-field light microscope play a key role in cancer diagnosis, but they sometimes have limited accuracy in detecting early-stage cancers ...
Novel approach for label free super-resolution imaging in far field
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
Progress in the emerging areas of science and technology, such as bio- and nano-technologies,
depends on development of corresponding techniques for imaging and probing the structures with
high resolution. Recently, the ...
Nano-sensitive optical coherence tomography
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2014)
Depth resolved label-free detection of structural changes with nanoscale sensitivity is an outstanding problem in the biological and physical sciences and has significant applications in both the fundamental research and ...
Multiwavelength observations of Mrk 501 in 2008
(EDP Sciences, 2015-12-17)
Context. Blazars are variable sources on various timescales over a broad energy range spanning from radio to very high energy (>100 GeV, hereafter VHE). Mrk 501 is one of the brightest blazars at TeV energies and has been ...
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 ...
The Galway astronomical Stokes polarimeter: an all-Stokes optical polarimeter with ultra-high time resolution
(Springer Verlag, 2013-06-28)
Many astronomical objects emit polarised light, which can give information both about their source mechanisms, and about (scattering) geometry in their source regions. To date (mostly) only the linearly polarised components ...
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 ...
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 ...
