Harris, R., Hodgkingson, P., Larsson, T., Muruganantham, A., Ymen, I., Yufit, D., & Zorin, V. (2008). Characterization of Polymorphs and Solvates of Terbutaline Sulfate. Crystal Growth and Design, 8(1), 80-90. https://doi.org/10.1021/cg700840j

Five different crystalline modifications (two anhydrates, a monohydrate, a higher hydrate, and an acetic acid solvate) of an asthma-therapy drug, terbutaline sulfate, have been identified and characterized by several solid-state techniques. X-ray pow... Read More about Characterization of Polymorphs and Solvates of Terbutaline Sulfate.

A multiaxial growth analysis of stable isotopes in the modern shell of Saxidomus gigantea: Implications for sclerochronology studies (2008)
Journal Article

Stable-isotope ratios of two modern Saxidomus gigantea specimens from Namu, British Columbia, are presented to show intraspecimen and interspecimen isotopic variation. Isotopic profiles (δ 13Cshell, δ 18Oshell) were generated along the axis of maximu...

Truncation of αB-crystallin by the myopathy-causing Q151X mutation significantly destabilizes the protein leading to aggregate formation in transfected cells (2008)
Journal Article
Hayes, V. H., Devlin, G., & Quinlan, R. A. (2008). Truncation of αB-crystallin by the myopathy-causing Q151X mutation significantly destabilizes the protein leading to aggregate formation in transfected cells. Journal of Biological Chemistry, 283(16), 10500-10512. https://doi.org/10.1074/jbc.m706453200

Here we investigate the effects of a myopathy-causing mutation in αB-crystallin, Q151X, upon its structure and function. This mutation removes the C-terminal domain of αB-crystallin, which is expected to compromise both its oligomerization and chaper...

Energy-band alignment of HfO2/SiO2/SiC gate dielectric stack (2008)
Journal Article
Mahapatra, R., Chakraborty, A., Horsfall, A., Wright, N., Beamson, G., & Coleman, K. (2008). Energy-band alignment of HfO2/SiO2/SiC gate dielectric stack. Applied Physics Letters, 92(4), Article 042904. https://doi.org/10.1063/1.2839314

The band alignment of HfO2/SiO2/SiC gate dielectric stack has been investigated by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electrical characterization. Two types of valence band offsets are observed in the stack layer; the smaller value of 1.5 eV corres... Read More about Energy-band alignment of HfO2/SiO2/SiC gate dielectric stack.

A tool box for operational mosquito larval control: preliminary results and early lessons from the Urban Malaria Control Program in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania (2008)
Journal Article
Fillinger, U., Kannady, K., William, G., Vanek, M., Dongus, S., Nyika, D., …Killeen, G. (2008). A tool box for operational mosquito larval control: preliminary results and early lessons from the Urban Malaria Control Program in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. Malaria Journal, 7, Article 20. https://doi.org/10.1186/1475-2875-7-20

Background: As the population of Africa rapidly urbanizes, large populations could be protected from malaria by controlling aquatic stages of mosquitoes if cost-effective and scalable implementation systems can be designed. Methods: A recently initia...

A Les Houches Interface for BSM Generators. (2008)
Report
Alwall, J., Boos, E., Dudko, L., Gigg, M., Herquet, M., Pukhov, A., …Skands, P. (2008). A Les Houches Interface for BSM Generators. USDOE

We propose to combine and slightly extend two existing 'Les Houches Accords' to provide a simple generic interface between beyond-the-standard-model parton-level and event-level generators. All relevant information--particle content, quantum numbers... Read More about A Les Houches Interface for BSM Generators..

Exploring the physical basis of solar cycle predictions: Flux transport dynamics and persistence of memory in advection versus diffusion-dominated solar convection zones (2008)
Journal Article
Yeates, A., Nandy, D., & Mackay, D. (2008). Exploring the physical basis of solar cycle predictions: Flux transport dynamics and persistence of memory in advection versus diffusion-dominated solar convection zones. Astrophysical Journal, 673(1), 544-556. https://doi.org/10.1086/524352

The predictability, or lack thereof, of the solar cycle is governed by numerous separate physical processes that act in unison in the interior of the Sun. Magnetic flux transport and the finite time delay that it introduces, specifically in the so-ca...
