Differential absorption lidar (DIAL) measurements are usually made on single compounds by alternately switching the wavelength between on and off a resonance line. The selection of more than two wavelengths is a mathematical necessity for simultaneous measurement of multiple species or for resolving interference effects between a compound of interest and a background gas such as water vapour or ca
A fully integrated digital PLL used as a clock multiplying circuit is designed and manufactured. The PLL has no off-chip components and it is made from standard cells found in most digital standard cell libraries. It is therefore portable between processes as an IP-block. Using a 0.35 μm standard CMOS process and a 3.0 V supply voltage, the PLL has a frequency range of 152 MHz to 366 MHz and occup
In a cellular environment, the presence of macromolecular cosolutes and membrane interfaces can influence the folding-unfolding behavior of proteins. Here we report on the pressure stability of alpha-chymotrypsin in the ternary system bis(2-ethylhexyl)sodium sulfosuccinate-octane-water using FTIR spectroscopy. The ternary system forms anionic reverse micelles which mimic cellular conditions. We fi
Agenda 2030 Graduate School monthly newsletter #4 2024-04-09 Ylva van Meeningen Good morning! It seems to be so much celebration this month connected to the graduate school. The Agenda 2030 award, several defences coming up and a general buzz within nature itself. It is on days like this one, where you regret deeply why you decided to put on your winter coat and boots on such a warm shiny day, tha
The Cd rich part of the Cd-Pd phase diagram was reassessed by means of synthesis and single crystal and powder X-ray diffraction. The region contains two phases that have been reported to have substantial compositional widths, Cd11Pd2 and Cd4Pd. The phase Cd11Pd2 that has previously been reported to be a disordered gamma-brass crystallizing is space group P (4) over bar 3m is here shown to crystal
In a microvillar photoreceptor, absorption of an incident photon initiates a phototransduction reaction that generates a depolarizing light-induced current (LIC) in the microvillus. Although in-depth knowledge about these processes in photoreceptors of the fruitfly Drosophila is available, not much is known about their nature in other insect species. Here, we present description of some basic prop
Metabolite concentrations reflect the physiological states of tissues and cells. However, the role of metabolic changes in species evolution is currently unknown. Here, we present a study of metabolome evolution conducted in three brain regions and two non-neural tissues from humans, chimpanzees, macaque monkeys, and mice based on over 10,000 hydrophilic compounds. While chimpanzee, macaque, and m
Long-term stability is one of the major challenges for p-i-n type perovskite solar modules (PSMs). Here, we demonstrate the fabrication of fully laser-patterned series interconnected p-i-n perovskite mini-modules, in which either single Cu or Ag layers are compared with Cu/Au metalbilayer top electrodes. According to the scanning electron microscopy measurements, we found that Cu or Ag top electro
Conifer-feeding bark beetles are important herbivores and decomposers in forest ecosystems. These species complete their life cycle in nutritionally poor substrates and some can kill enormous numbers of trees during population outbreaks. The Eurasian spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) can destroy >100 million m3 of spruce in a single year. We report a 236.8 Mb I. typographus genome assembly usin
We used the fact that patients with non-muscle invasive bladder tumors show local recurrences and multiple tumors to study re-initiation of tumor growth from the same urothelium. By extensive genomic analyses we show that tumors from the same patient are clonal. We show that gross genomic chromosomal aberrations may be detected in one tumor, only to be undetected in a recurrent tumor. By analyses
Antiserum against bovine retinal S-antigen, a soluble protein (MW = 50 kDa) thought to be involved in phototransduction, was used in an immunohistochemical and immunochemical study of vertebrate eyes and pineal systems and invertebrate photoreceptor organs. Positive reactions, not seen with antiserum preabsorbed with highly purified S-antigen, were observed in planarian and starfish ocelli; scallo
Over the past decade, liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has evolved into the main proteome discovery technology. Up to several thousand proteins can now be reliably identified from a sample and the relative abundance of the identified proteins can be determined across samples. However, the remeasurement of substantially similar proteomes, for example those gene
Although botulinum neurotoxin serotype A (BoNT/A) products are common treatments for various disorders, there is only one commercial BoNT/B product, whose low potency, likely stemming from low affinity toward its human receptor synaptotagmin 2 (hSyt2), has limited its therapeutic usefulness. We express and characterize two full-length recombinant BoNT/B1 proteins containing designed mutations E119
Energy dispersive extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EDE) has been applied to Pd nanoparticle nucleation at a liquid/liquid interface under control over the interfacial potential and thereby the driving force for nucleation. Preliminary analysis focusing on Pd K edge-step height determination shows that under supersaturated conditions the concentration of Pd near the interface fluctuate ove
Abstract: The adrenergic receptors of rat pineal gland were investigated using radiolabeled ligand binding and photoaffinity labeling techniques. 125I‐2‐[β‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)ethylaminomethyl]tetralone (125I‐HEAT) and 125I‐cyanopindolol (125I‐CYP) labeled specific sites on rat pineal gland membranes with equilibrium dissociation constants (KD) of 48 (±5) pM and 30 (±5) pM, respectively. Binding sit
