With the STIS E230H mode (R 118,000), we have identified about twentyabsorption components in line of sight from Eta Carinae. Two components,one at -513 km/s and another at -145 km/s, are quite different incharacter from the others, mostly at intermediate velocities (Seeadjacent posters by T. Gull and A. Danks). The -145 km/s component issignificantly wider in fwhm, is seen in many more species, a
This chapter describes various kinds of artificial light sources of interest to the photobiologist (natural light is described in separate chapters), starting with incandescent lamps and their properties, and continuing with gas discharge lamps, flashlamps and lasers. After a section on light filters the chapter concludes with a treatment of monochromators, in which the mode of action of a grating

The volume analyzes the reasons behind, and consequences of, the growing involvement of transnational actors in established international institutions. It provides comparative analyses of varying international organizations and issue-areas. Combining normative democratic theory and empirical research, it offers innovative interpretations of the democratic legitimacy of current arrangemants.
We analyze banks' pooling of corporate loans and propose Pareto-improving sharing rules that depend only on the relative sizes of the loans. Implementation of these sharing rules do not require any precise knowledge of default probabilities or default correlations. (C) 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Abstract Estradiol (E2) is, apart from its role as a reproductive hormone, also important for cardiac function and bone maturation in both genders. It has also been shown to play a role in insulin production, energy expenditure and in inducing lipolysis. The aim of the study was to investigate if low circulating testosterone or E2 levels in combination with variants in the estrogen receptor alpha
The fight between a human host and a bacterial pathogen is highly complicated; each party tries to outshine the other in the race for survival. In humans, the innate immune system-in particular the complement system-functions as the first line of defence against invading pathogens. During the course of evolution, however, pathogens, in order to survive and perpetuate within a host, developed multi
Green products are becoming part of contemporary consumer cultures and part of everyday life. But how are green products constructed? What kind of green products are constructed? And what happens as these green products are constructed? The aim of this paper is to contribute a socio-cultural and critical understanding of green marketing by exploring and illustrating how marketing practices work t
The effect of a quinoline-3-carboxamide on the T-cell-dependent B-cell response was investigated in C57BL/6 mice after NP-CGG immunization. The primary serum response to the hapten was slightly inhibited by treatment with a quinoline-3-carboxamide. This inhibition was paralleled by reduced numbers of germinal center B cells and follicular T cells in the spleen up to 21 days after immunization. Als
One of the most critical functions of the various Proteomics organizations is the training of young scientists and the dissemination of information to the general scientific community. The education committees of the Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) and the European Proteomics Association (EuPA) together with the other local proteomics associations are therefore launching a joint Tutorial Progra
