OpenTCC: An open source low-cost temperature-control chamber
(Elsevier, 2020-02-24)Microbial electrochemical technologies (MET) are emerging systems for environmental applications such as renewable energy production or pollution remediation. MET research often requires stable temperatures and low levels ... -
Opportunistic bacteria dominate the soil microbiome response to phenanthrene in a microcosm-based study
(Frontiers Media, 2018-11-21)Bioremediation offers a sustainable approach for removal of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the environment; however, information regarding the microbial communities involved remains limited. In this study, ... -
Optical Observations of PSR J0205+6449
(2008)PSR J0205+6449 is a X-ray and radio pulsar in supernova remnant 3C 58. We report on observations of the central region of 3C 58 using the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope with the intention of identifying the optical ... -
Optical pulsations from the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1048.1-5937
(2009)We present high-speed optical photometry of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 1048.1-5937 obtained with ULTRACAM on the 8.2-m Very Large Telescope in June 2007. We detect 1E 1048.1-5937 at a magnitude of i'=25.3+/-0.2, consistent ... -
Optical system of aplanatic telescope with a 100 m spherical primary mirror
(Society of Photo-optical Instrumentation Engineers, 2022-06-30)We propose an optical system of an extremely large telescope for ground-based or planetary use. The system comprises a segmented spherical mirror with a diameter of 100 m and f-number of f/1. There are three annular zones ... -
Optimization of a hydrogen combustion mechanism using both direct and indirect measurements
(Elsevier ScienceDirect, 2014-07-05)The Keromnes et al. (2013) mechanism for hydrogen combustion has been optimized using a large set of indirect experimental data, consisting of ignition measurements in shock tubes (566 datapoints in 43 datasets) and rapid ... -
Optimized reaction mechanism rate rules for ignition of normal alkanes
(Elsevier, 2016-08-10)The increasing demand for cleaner combustion and reduced greenhouse gas emissions motivates research on the combustion of hydrocarbon fuels and their surrogates. Accurate detailed chemical kinetic models are an important ... -
Optimizing fluorescent protein expression for quantitative fluorescence microscopy and spectroscopy using herpes simplex thymidine kinase promoter sequences
(Wiley, 2018-04-16)The modulation of expression levels of fluorescent fusion proteins (FFPs) is central for recombinant DNA technologies in modern biology as overexpression of proteins contributes to artifacts in biological experiments. In ... -
Organic waste biorefineries: Looking towards implementation
(Elsevier, 2020-07-16)The concept of biorefinery expands the possibilities to extract value from organic matter in form of either bespoke crops or organic waste. The viability of biorefinery schemes depends on the recovery of higher-value ... -
The oxidation of 2-butene: A high pressure ignition delay, kinetic modeling study and reactivity comparison with isobutene and 1-butene
(Elsevier, 2016-06-16)Butenes are intermediates ubiquitously formed by decomposition and oxidation of larger hydrocarbons (e.g. alkanes) or alcohols present in conventional or reformulated fuels. In this study, a series of novel igni-tion delay ... -
Oxidation of ethylene-air mixtures at elevated pressures, part 1: experimental results
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2014-03-26)Shock-tube experiments have been performed to determine ignition delay times of undiluted ethylene air mixtures for temperatures from 1003 to 1401 K, at equivalence ratios from 0.3 to 2.0, and at pressures from 1.1 to 24.9 ... -
Oxidation of ethylene-air mixtures at elevated pressures, part 2: chemical kinetics
(American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2014-03-27)A chemical kinetics submechanism for small molecular weight hydrocarbons was modified by adjusting rate constants to produce better agreement with recent ethylene ignition delay time data compared with an earlier version ... -
Oxidative stress induced by Pt(IV) pro-drugs based on the cisplatin scaffold and indole carboxylic acids in axial position
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016-06-11)The use of Pt(IV) complexes as pro-drugs that are activated by intracellular reduction is a widely investigated approach to overcome the limitations of Pt(II) anticancer agents. A series of ten mono- and bis-carboxylated ... -
Partial reconstitution of DNA large loop repair with purified proteins from Saccharomyces cerevisiae
(OUP, 2008)Small looped mispairs are corrected by DNA mismatch repair. In addition, a distinct process called large loop repair (LLR) corrects heteroduplexes up to several hundred nucleotides in bacteria, yeast and human cells, and ... -
Partition functions and chiral algebras.
(American Mathematical Society, 2007-05)We discuss recent work of the authors concerning correlation functions and partition functions for free bosons/fermions and the b-c or ghost system. We compare and contrast the nature of the 1-point functions at genus 1, ... -
Pathogenic bacteria in our oceans' shellfish
(Microbiology Society, 2019-02)Mussels, oysters, clams – some of the most appetising culinary dishes, such as moules-frites, feature shellfish. These foods are considered healthy as they are fresh from the ocean, but looks can be deceiving. -
Pattern evolution in bending dielectric-elastomeric bilayers
