9 ABSTRACT | The development of a thermochemical energy 10 storage system based on ammonia, for use with concentrating 11 solar power is discussed in this paper. This is one of a group of 12 storage options for concentrating solar power, some of which 13 are already operating commercially using molten salts. The 14 ammonia storage development has involved prototype solar 15 receiver/reactors op...

We have obtained time-resolved ultraviolet spectroscopy for the pulsating DAV stars G226-29 and G185-32 and for the pulsating DBV star PG 1351]489 with the Hubble Space T elescope Faint Object Spectrograph to compare the ultraviolet to the optical pulsation amplitude and determine the pulsation indices. We Ðnd that for essentially all observed pulsation modes, the amplitude rises to the ultravi...

A new platelet alloantigen, termed CA, has recently been implicated in a case of neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NATP) in a Filipino family in Canada. Maternal antiCA serum reacted with glycoprotein (GP) llla and maintained its reactivity after removal of high mannose carbohydrate residues from GPllla. The monoclonal antibody (MoAb) AP3 partially blocked binding of anti-CA to GPllla, sugg...

Discovery Medicine, Volume 10, Number 55, Pages 489-499, december 2010 Abstract: Double bromodomain proteins bind to acetylated lysines in histones, bringing associated histone modification and nucleosome remodeling activity to chromatin. The ability of bromodomain regulators to alter chromatin status and control gene expression has long been appreciated to be important in the development of ce...

We obtain a representation of all self-adjoint solutions of the control algebraic Riccati equation associated to the infinite-dimensional state linear system Σ(A,B, C) under the following assumptions: A generates a C0-group, the system is output stabilizable, strongly detectable and the dual Riccati equation has an invertible selfadjoint nonnegative solution. ∗University of Groningen, Departmen...
