The magnetic field and pressure dependence of the magnetic ordering transition in Na x CoO 2 Abstract. We have measured the magnetic field (H≤90 kOe) and pressure (P≤10 kbar) dependence of the magnetic ordering temperature, T mag , in single crystal samples of Na x CoO 2 for a range of Na concentrations (0.60≤x≤0.72). We show that in zero field, T mag remains constant with decreasing x before m...

The results of K-band-imaging observations of a candidate of an absorbed QSO at z = 0.653, AX J131831+3341, are presented. The B − K color of the object is 4.85 mag, which is much redder than optically-selected QSOs. The K-band image shows nuclear and extended components, the same as in the optical V -, R-, and I-band images. The nuclear component (I −K = 4.29 mag) is much redder than the power...

Previously we demonstrated that human small-cell lung cancer (SCLC) seems to universally express the vasopressin gene, and this leads to the presence of a cell surface marker representing the entire pro-hormone precursor. In this study, we show this marker can be targeted with MAG-1, a mouse monoclonal antibody against a C-terminal moiety on pro-vasopressin. In vitro targeting of cell lines der...

Varicella-zoster virus (VZV) and herpes simplex virus (HSV) are prevalent neurotropic herpesviruses that cause various nervous system diseases. Similar to other enveloped viruses, membrane fusion is an essential process for viral entry. Therefore, identification of host molecules that mediate membrane fusion is important to understand the mechanism of viral infection. Here, we demonstrate that ...

Lunar highland meteorites contain fragments of metamorphic granulites with a wide range of Mg* (molar Mg/(Mg+Fe)) [1], between that of Mg-suite plutonics and magnesian anorthositic granulites (MAG), and those of ferroan anorthosites (FAN), Figure 1 [2,3]. The intermediate-Mg* granulites have been inferred (explicitly or implicitly) to represent mixtures of FAN and MAG or Mg-suite rocks. To test...

We have performed precise dc magnetization measurements for a single crystal of UBe(13) down to 0.14 K, up to 80 kOe. We observed a magnetic anomaly in the superconducting (SC) mixed state at a field, named H(Mag)(*) (~ 26 kOe, at 0.14 K), implying that UBe(13) has a magnetically unusual SC state. We studied the magnetization curves of UBe(13), assuming that the H(Mag)(*) anomaly originates fro...

However, too much faith cannot be placed on intercepts taken so near the origin, with small deflections. 1 Thomson, J. J., London Phil. Mag., Sept., 1915. 2 Rutherford, E., Proc. Cambridge Phil.

J , H , K, and L photometry for the stars in the central ∼ 2 (∼ 5 pc) of the Galaxy are presented. Using the observed J − H , H −K, and K − L colors and assumed intrinsic colors, we determine the interstellar extinction at 2.2 μm (AK) for approximately 1100 individual stars. The mean AK (= 3.3 mag) is similar to previous results, but we find that the reddening is highly variable and some stars ...

Biosynthesis of diacylglycerols in plants occurs mainly through the acylation of lysophosphatidic acid in the microsomal membranes. Here we describe the first identification of diacylglycerol biosynthetic activity in the soluble fraction of developing oilseeds. This activity was NaF-insensitive and acyl-CoA-dependent. Diacylglycerol formation was catalyzed by monoacylglycerol (MAG) acyltransfer...
