An 80 ksec Chandra ACIS observation of the radio galaxy 3C 452 is reported. A diffuse X-ray emission associated with the lobes has been detected with high statistical significance, together with the X-ray nucleus of the host galaxy. The 0.5–5 keV ACIS spectrum of the diffuse emission is described by a twocomponent model, consisting of a soft thermal plasma emission from the host galaxy halo and...

Moraxella catarrhalis ubiquitous surface protein (Usp) A1 has been reported to bind fibronectin and is involved in adherence. In this study, using M. catarrhalis mutants derived from clinical isolates, we show that both UspA1 and UspA2 bind fibronectin. Recombinant truncated UspA1/A2 proteins, together with smaller fragments spanning the entire molecule, were tested for binding to fibronectin. ...

In view of the pipeline marking difficult and poor measurement precision, a new-type monolithic integrated array MEMS vector vibration sensor has been put forward. It has overcomed the deficiency that present vector acoustic sensor applied in the oil and gas pipeline internal inspector can not be accurate about signal position, and eliminated the port/starboard blur problem. Through ANSYS simul...
