Combining laser frequency combs and iodine cell calibration techniques for Doppler detection of exoplanets by Cahoy, K., Fischer, D., Spronck, J., Demille, D.

“…We propose a fiber-fed high precision spectrograph design that combines the existing ~5000-6000 A Iodine calibration system with a high-precision Laser Frequency Comb (LFC) system from ~6000-7000 A that just meets the redward side of the Iodine lines. The scientific motivation for such a system includes: a 1000 A span in the red is currently achievable with LFC systems, combining the two calibration methods increases the wavelength range by a factor of two, and moving redward decreases the 'noise' from starspots. …”

Sequence-Dependent & -Independent Effects of Intron-Mediated Enhancement (IME) by Kowal, Emma J. K.

“…In this study we report the design and execution of several massively parallel reporter assays (MPRAs), interrogating the effect of tens of thousands of synthetic and natural intron sequences on gene expression in the human HEK293T and HeLa cell lines. We observe that even with random internal sequence, most of these introns splice well and trigger IME. …”

The role of CD1a in dengue infection by Yang, J

“…To investigate the effect of dengue infection on the function of CD1a-reactive T cells, polyclonal blood T cells from patients and controls, and CD1a-autoreactive T cells clone/lines were utilised. The production of IFN-γ and GM-CSF by CD1a-autoreactive T cells was reduced when co-cultured with dengue-infected presenting cells. …”

Structure and inhibition of novel cyclin-dependent kinases by Dixon-Clarke, S

“…Preliminary trials using these relatively non-selective compounds to inhibit CDK16 in melanoma and medulloblastoma cancer cell lines revealed rebastinib as the more efficacious drug causing loss of cell proliferation in the 1-2 micromolar range. …”

Nanoparticles enhanced laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy for characterisation and discrimination of gemstones by Al-Juboori, Haider, Haider, Zhaib, Hang, Wei, Roslan, Sufi

“…Results have shown a significant enhancement in spectral features, i.e., the emergence of several new spectral lines of major gemstone elements in the UV-Vis regions of the NELIBS spectra, while the CLIBS spectra were devoid of any meaningful spectral information. …”

Clan, marriage practices and kinship terms amongst the Ao and Sema Nagas by Sreedhar, M. V.

“…In many Naga communities the bonds, duties and obligations of the clan cuts across religious bonds, for instance, the non-Christian Konyaks helping the Konyaks of the same clan in building a church in Wanching (Haimendorf: 1973:5). Conversely, despite conversion to Christianity. many Christian Nagas still observe the old customs (Sreedhar: 1980). …”
