We present SHARC-II 350μm imaging of twelve 24μm-bright (F24μm > 0.8 mJy) Dust-Obscured Galaxies (DOGs) and CARMA 1mm imaging of a subset of 2 DOGs. These objects are selected from the Boötes field of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey. Detections of 4 DOGs at 350μm imply infrared (IR) luminosities which are consistent to within a factor of 2 of expectations based on a warm dust spectral energy di...

BACKGROUND Knowledge of the oncogenic signaling pathways of T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) remains limited. Constitutive aberrant activation of the nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway has been detected in various lymphoid malignancies and plays a key role in the development of these carcinomas. The zinc finger-containing protein, A20, is a central regulator of multiple...

In this paper we present a parametric estimation method for certain multi-parameter heavy-tailed Levy-driven moving averages. The theory relies on recent multivariate central limit theorems obtained in [3] via Malliavin calculus Poisson spaces. Our minimal contrast approach is related to the papers [14, 15], which propose use marginal empirical characteristic function estimate one-dimensional p...

In this paper, we present the first results from a CARMA high-resolution 12CO(1-0), 13CO(1-0), and C18O(1-0) molecular line survey of North America Pelican (NAP) Nebulae. observations have been combined with single-dish data Purple Mountain 13.7 m telescope, to add short spacings produce high-dynamic-range images. We find that gas is predominantly shaped by W80 H ii bubble, driven an O star. Se...

Executive Summary The stellar Initial Mass Function (IMF) is remarkably consistent over a host of environments in the Galactic neighborhood. The physical processes responsible for producing a seemingly invariant IMF have long been the subject of theoretical investigation. Recently, a potential link has been made between the mass distribution of clumps in nearby molecular clouds and the stellar ...

Achieving seamless portability in reconfigurable hardware designs among vendor-specific FPGA platforms continues to be a nontrivial task. The current reliance on custom hardware wrappers and proprietary software APIs is detrimental to the efficiency of FPGA-accelerated application development. The issues with portability are compounded for distributed applications requiring multiple FPGA platfo...

Cluster computing offers many advantages as a highly cost-effective and often scalable approach for highperformance computing in general, and most recently as a basis for hardware-reconfigurable systems. To achieve the full potential of performance of reconfigurable HPC systems, a runtime configuration service is required. Centralized configuration services are a natural starting point but tend...

In this Letter, the linear stability of the resistive wall modes (RWMs) in toroidal geometry for a reversed field pinch (RFP) plasma is studied. Three computational models are used: the cylindrical code ETAW, the toroidal MHD code MARS-F, and the CarMa code, able to take fully into account the effects of a three-dimensional conducting structure which mimics the real shell geometry of a reversed...
