Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystals between microstructured substrates
(American Institute of Physics, 2008)The structure of a model liquid crystalline fluid confined between two microstructured substrates is studied through Monte Carlo simulations. A simple model for a structured substrate, similar in spirit to those used for ... -
Monte Carlo simulations of liquid crystals near rough walls
(American Institute of Physics, 2005-02-15)The effect of surface roughness on the structure of liquid crystalline fluids near solid substrates is studied by Monte Carlo simulations. The liquid crystal is modeled as a fluid of soft ellipsoidal molecules and the ... -
Morphological transitions in polymer vesicles upon bilayer swelling with small hydrophobic molecules in water
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)We show that when unilamellar polymer vesicles dispersed in water made from a blockcopolymer, in this case poly((ethylene oxide)45-block-(methyl methacrylate)164), poly((ethylene oxide)45-block-(methyl methacrylate)170), ... -
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 ... -
Mrc1, Tof1 and Csm3 inhibit CAG·CTG repeat instability by at least two mechanisms
(Springer, 2008)Trinucleotide repeats frequently expand and contract in humans and model organisms. Protein factors that modulate this process have been found by candidate gene approaches or mutant screens for increased expansion ... -
Multi-attribute quality screening of immunoglobulin G using polarized Excitation Emission Matrix spectroscopy
(Elsevier, 2019-12-10)Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is often used as a starting material for the production of functionalised antibodies, like Antibody Drug Conjugates (ADCs), PEGlyated-conjugates, or radioimmunoconjugates. The gross structural quality ... -
Multi-sector approximation method for arteries: the residual stresses of circumferential rings with non-trivial openings
(The Royal Society, 2019-07-24)The opening angle method is a popular choice in biomechanics to estimate residual stresses in arteries. Experimentally, it means that an artery is cut into rings; then the rings are cut axially or radially allowing them ... -
Multiples of Pfister forms
(Elsevier, 2016-03-01)The isotropy of multiples of Pfister forms is studied. Some classical results are recalled and their consequences presented, with certain of these statements being previously known but hitherto unpublished. In particular, ... -
Multiplexed electrochemical cancer diagnostics with automated microfluidics
(Wiley, 2018-11-27)Microfluidic platforms can lead to miniaturisation, increased throughput and reduced reagent consumption, particularly when the processes are automated. Here, a programmable microcontroller is used for automation of a ... -
Multivalent carbohydrate-lectin interactions: the way synthetic chemistry enables insights into nanometric recognition
(MDPI Open Access, 2016-05-13)Glycan recognition by sugar receptors (lectins) is intimately involved in many aspects of cell physiology. However, the factors explaining the exquisite selectivity of their functional pairing are not yet fully understood. ... -
Multiwavelength Observations of 1ES 1959+650, One Year After the Strong Outburst of 2002
(2006)In April-May 2003, the blazar 1ES 1959+650 showed an increased level of X-ray activity. This prompted a multiwavelength observation campaign with the Whipple 10 m gamma-ray telescope, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer, the ... -
Multiwavelength observations of a TeV-Flare from W Comae
(2009)We report results from an intensive multiwavelength campaign on the intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae object W Com (z=0.102) during a strong outburst of very high energy gamma-ray emission in June 2008. The very ... -
Multiwavelength Observations of LS I +61 303 with VERITAS, Swift and RXTE
(2009)We present results from a long-term monitoring campaign on the TeV binary LSI +61 303 with VERITAS at energies above 500 GeV, and in the 2-10 keV hard X-ray bands with RXTE and Swift, sampling nine 26.5 day orbital cycles ... -
Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 in 2005 - 2006
(2009)Since September 2005, the Whipple 10m Gamma-ray Telescope has been operated primarily as a blazar monitor. The five Northern Hemisphere blazars that have already been detected at the Whipple Observatory, Markarian 421, ... -
Multiwavelength Observations of Markarian 421 in March 2001: an Unprecedented View on the X-ray/TeV Correlated Variability
