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. …”

Development of coherent detector technologies for sub-millimetre wave astronomy observations by Tan, B-K

“…</p> <p>Using the current 16-pixel 350 GHz SIS receiver, HARP-B, we have observed the ¹²CO J=3→2 emission lines from two nearby galaxies. An important result we found is that the ¹²CO J=3→2 correlates strongly with the 8 μm Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon emission.…”
