Multi-wavelength observations of the flaring gamma-ray blazar 3c 66a in 2008 october
(IOP Publishing, 2010-12-14)
The BL Lacertae object 3C 66A was detected in a flaring state by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) and VERITAS in 2008 October. In addition to these gamma-ray observations, F-GAMMA, GASP-WEBT, PAIRITEL, MDM, ATOM, Swift, ...
Rapid and efficient cancer cell killing mediated by high-affinity death receptor homotrimerizing trail variants
(Springer Nature, 2010-10-01)
The tumour necrosis factor family member TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) selectively induces apoptosis in a variety of cancer cells through the activation of death receptors 4 (DR4) and 5 (DR5) and is considered ...
Rethinking the interplay of feminism and secularism in a neo-secular age
(Springer Nature, 2011-03-01)
The need to re-examine established ways of thinking about secularism and its relationship to feminism has arisen in the context of the confluence of a number of developments including: the increasing dominance of the 'clash ...
Survival, biofilm formation, and growth potential of environmental and enteric escherichia coli strains in drinking water microcosms
(American Society for Microbiology, 2016-06-24)
Escherichia coli is the most commonly used indicator for fecal contamination in drinking water distribution systems (WDS). The assumption is that E. coli bacteria are of enteric origin and cannot persist for long outside ...
Fermilarge area telescope observations of markarian 421: the missing piece of its spectral energy distribution
(IOP Publishing, 2011-07-15)
We report on the gamma-ray activity of the high-synchrotron-peaked BL Lacertae object Markarian 421 (Mrk 421) during the first 1.5 years of Fermi operation, from 2008 August 5 to 2010 March 12. We find that the Large Area ...
A metaproteomic approach gives functional insights into anaerobic digestion
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2011-04-27)
Aims:
The objective of this work was to provide functional evidence of key metabolic pathways important for anaerobic digestion processes through the identification of highly expressed proteins in a mixed anaerobic microbial ...
Influence of weather variables on pain severity in end-stage osteoarthritis
(Springer Nature, 2011-06-29)
Purpose Patients often attribute increasing pain in an arthritic joint to changing weather patterns. Studies examining the impact of weather on pain severity have yielded equivocal and sometimes contradictory results. The ...
Veritas and multiwavelength observations of the bl lacertae object 1es 1741+196
(Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-04-01)
We present results from multiwavelength observations of the BL Lacertae object 1ES 1741 + 196, including results in the very high energy gamma-ray regime using the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System ...
Linking soil erosion to instream dissolved phosphorus cycling and periphyton growth
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2017-06-05)
Phosphorus (P) is a limiting nutrient in freshwater systems and when present in runoff from agricultural lands or urban centers may contribute to excessive periphyton growth. In this study, we examined the link between ...
A strong limit on the very-high-energy emission from grb 150323a
(American Astronomical Society, 2018-04-10)
On 2015 March 23, the Very Energetic Radiation Imaging Telescope Array System (VERITAS) responded to a Swift-Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) detection of a gamma-ray burst, with observations beginning 270 s after the onset of ...
