Commensurability classes containing three knot complements
(2009-05-11)
This paper exhibits an infinite family of hyperbolic knot complements that have three knot complements in their respective commensurability classes.
Characterization of immunodominant and potentially protective epitopes of Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1 outer membrane lipoprotein PlpE
(American Society for Microbiology, 2004-12)
Mannheimia haemolytica serotype 1 (S1) is the most common bacterial isolate found in shipping fever pneumonia in beef cattle. Currently used vaccines against M. haemolytica do not provide complete protection against the ...
Microsphere whispering-gallery-mode laser using HgTe quantum dots
(AIP Publishing, 2004-12-20)
Ultralow-threshold continuous-wave lasing is achieved at room temperature in a fused-silica microsphere that is coated with HgTe quantum dots (colloidal nanoparticles). The 830nm pump input and HgTe microlaser output are ...
Gold nanorods grown from HgTe nanoparticles directly on various surfaces
(AIP Publishing, 2006-07-14)
Gold nanorods (NRs) are nucleated by HgTe semiconductor nanoparticles. Growth of ~200 X 50 nm2 NRs directly on various surfaces is achieved by using an intermediary polyelectrolyte layer. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ...
Genetic trends in winter wheat yield and test weight under dual-purpose and grain-only management systems
(Crop Science Society of America, 2002-05)
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivars of the southern Great Plains are traditionally bred in environments managed for grain production only but are commonly grown for the dual-purpose of producing winter forage and grain ...
Inquiry-based exercise for demonstrating prey preference in snakes

Vaccination with recombinant Boophilus annulatus Bm86 ortholog protein, Ba86, protects cattle against B. annulatus and B. microplus infestations
(BioMed Central, 2009-03-31)
Background: The cattle ticks, Boophilus spp., affect cattle production in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Tick vaccines constitute a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to tick control. ...
Towards the Heisenberg limit in magnetometry with parametric down-converted photons
(American Physical Society, 2006-11-16)
Recent theoretical and experimental papers have shown how one can achieve Heisenberg-limited measurements by using entangled photons. Here we show how the photons in a noncollinear down-conversion process can be used for ...
Adiabatic compression of parallel-plate metal waveguides for sensitivity enhancement of waveguide THz time-domain spectroscopy
(AIP Publishing, 2005-02-02)
We demonstrate the efficient coupling of THz pulses into and out of an adiabatically compressed parallel-plate metal waveguide. The plate separation of the 63.5-mm long, compressed waveguide was fixed at 103 um at the ...
Expression, purification, crystallization and preliminary crystallographic analysis of an endo-1,5-a-L-arabinanase from hyperthermophilic Thermotoga petrophila
(International Union of Crystallography, 2009)
The endo-1,5-[alpha]-L-arabinanases belonging to glycoside hydrolase family 43 are of great industrial interest for use in food technology, organic synthesis and biofuel production owing to their ability to catalyze the ...
