For example, it has been found that the serum protein patterns of patients suffering from amyloidosis are often abnormal (1-4), that abnormal serum globulins and amyloid may both be present in patients with multiple myeloma (5-7), and that the incidence of amyloidosis is high in hyperlmmunized horses (8). Yet no single abnormality of the blood proteins has thus far been clearly related to amylo...

Precise calibration of kilometer-scale interferometric gravitational wave detectors is crucial for source localization and waveform reconstruction. A technique that uses the radiation pressure of a power-modulated auxiliary laser to induce calibrated displacements of one of the ∼10 kg arm cavity mirrors, a so-called photon calibrator, has been demonstrated previously and has recently been imple...

Abstract This article is based on an ethnographic report of a long-term artistic workplace in the inside world social high-rise ensemble. The communal ‘atelier’ functioned as repair workshop (Allemeersch et al. 2014) concerned with re-negotiating relation and knowledge between outside world. Through synchronic housing ensemble, this aims to characterize lived citizenship (Warming Fahnøe 2017) r...

To better understand tissue responses after low IR doses, we generated a reporter system using human clusterin promoter fused to firefly luciferase (hCLUp-Luc). Secretory clusterin (sCLU), an extra-cellular molecular chaperone, induced by low doses of cytotoxic agents, clears cell debris promoting survival. Low dose IR (>2 cGy) exposure induced hCLUp-Luc activity with peak levels at 96 h, consi...

This study describes methods developed for reliable quantification of sizeand element-specific release of engineered nanoparticles (ENP) from consumer spray products. A modified glove box setup was designed to allow controlled spray experiments in a particle-minimized environment. Time dependence of the particle size distribution in a size range of 10–500 nm and ENP release rates were studied u...
