Kernel principal component analysis residual diagnosis (KPCARD): an automated method to remove cosmic ray artefacts in Raman spectra.
(2016)A new, fully automated, rapid method, referred to as kernel principal component analysis residual diagnosis (KPCARD), is proposed for removing cosmic ray artifacts (CRAs) in Raman spectra, and in particular for large Raman ... -
Kinematics of the Broad Line Region in M81
(2007)A new model is presented which explains the origin of the broad emission lines observed in the LINER/Seyfert nucleus of M81 in terms of a steady state spherically symmetric inflow, amounting to 1 x 10^-5 Msun/yr, which is ... -
A kinetic modelling study of alcohols operating regimes in a HCCI engine
(SAE International, 2017-09-04)Pursuing a sustainable energy scenario for transportation requires the blending of renewable oxygenated fuels such as alcohols into commercial hydrocarbon fuels. From a chemical kinetic perspective, this requires the ... -
A kinetics and dynamics study on the auto-ignition of dimethyl ether at low temperatures and low pressures
(Elsevier, 2020-09-14)Though the combustion chemistry of dimethyl ether (DME) has been widely investigated over the past decades, there remains a dearth of ignition data that examines the low-temperature, low-pressure chemistry of DME. In this ... -
Kinetics in signal transduction pathways involving promiscuous oligomerizing receptors can be determined by receptor specificity: Apoptosis induction by TRAIL
(American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2012)Here we show by computer modeling that kinetics and outcome of signal transduction in case of hetero-oligomerizing receptors of a promiscuous ligand largely depend on the relative amounts of its receptors. Promiscuous ... -
Label free ultra-sensitive imaging with sub-diffraction spatial resolution
(IEEE, 2019-07-09)In this paper, we show a new way to break the resolution limit and dramatically improve sensitivity to structural changes. To realize it we developed a novel label free contrast mechanism, based on the spectral encoding ... -
Label-free ultra-sensitive visualization of structure below the diffraction resolution limit
(Wiley, 2018-03-23)For both fundamental study of biological processes and early diagnosis of diseases, information about nanoscale changes in tissue and cell structure is crucial. Nowadays, almost all currently known nanoscopy methods rely ... -
Large acoustoelastic effect
(Elsevier, 2012-03)Classical acoustoelasticity couples small-amplitude elastic wave propagation to an infinitesimal pre-deformation, in order to reveal and evaluate non-destructively third-order elasticity constants. Here, we see that ... -
Large amplitude Love waves
(Oxford Journals, 2008-04-22)In the context of the finite elasticity theory, we consider a model for compressible solids called 'compressible neo-Hookean material'. We show how finite-amplitude inhomogeneous plane wave solutions and finite-amplitude ... -
Late-interseismic state of a continental plate-bounding fault: Petrophysical results from DFDP-1 wireline logging and core analysis, Alpine Fault, New Zealand
(American Geophysical Union (AGU), 2013)We present a geophysical characterization at 0.1-100 m scales of a major plate-bounding continental fault in a late-interseismic state. The Alpine Fault produces M-W approximate to 8 earthquakes every 200-400 years and ... -
LcrG is required for efficient translocation of Yersinia Yop effector proteins into eukaryotic cells
(American Society for Microbiology, 1998-06)Extracellular Yersinia disables the immune system of its host by injecting effector Yop proteins into host cells. We show that a Yersinia enterocolitica nonpolar lcrG mutant is severely impaired in the translocation of ... -
Leaching of decabromodiphenyl ether and hexabromocyclododecane from fabrics under simulated landfill conditions
(KeAi Communications Co. Ltd, 2019-12-30)A series of laboratory experiments were conducted to examine the leaching of decabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-209) and hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD) from a mix of three fabrics. Consistent with previous reports that such ... -
Learning latent semantic relations from clickthrough data for query suggestion
(2008)For a given query raised by a specific user, the Query Suggestion technique aims to recommend relevant queries which potentially suit the information needs of that user. Due to the complexity of the Web structure and the ... -
Lectin microarray profiling demonstrates equivalent global glycosylation for whey protein ingredients enriched with α-lactalbumin and milk fat globule membrane
(Elsevier, 2022-12-22)Human milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) and whey proteins are nutritionally and functionally valuable, with many beneficial bioactivities associated with their glycosylation. However glycosylation of milk components other ... -
Lectins: getting familiar with translators of the sugar code
(MDPI, 2015-01-22)The view on the significance of the presence of glycans in glycoconjugates is undergoing a paradigmatic change. Initially mostly considered to be rather inert and passive, the concept of the sugar code identifies glycans ... -
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 ... -
Lewis acid promoted anomerisation of alkyl O- and S-xylo-, arabino- and fucopyranosides
(Elsevier, 2018-11-24)Pentopyranoside and 6-deoxyhexopyranosides, such as those from d-xylose, l-arabinose and l-fucose are components of natural products, oligosaccharides or polysaccharides. Lewis acid promoted anomerisation of some of their ... -
Ligand design for somatostatin receptor isoforms 4 and 5
(Elsevier, 2018-11-17)The somatostatin receptor (SSTR) isoforms, SSTR-4 and SSTR-5 are targets in numerous disorders and diseases. Although there has been some success in achieving selective isoform inhibition, structure-based drug design and ... -
Light driven styrene epoxidation and hydrogen generation using H2O as an oxygen source in a photoelectrosynthesis cell
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015-10-02)A dye-sensitized photoelectrosynthesis cell (DSPEC) has been prepared for the oxidation of alkenes to epoxides and evolution of hydrogen using water as an oxygen source and sunlight. A Ru oxidation catalyst, 2,2+ , is ...
