Positron seeks to bolster cardiac PET’s rubidium-82 supply
2/06/2012 PET developer Positron has labored literally for decades to make cardiac PET a clinical reality. The company’s effort was paying off until late last year, when the market got sidetracked by a disruption in the supply of rubidium-82, the … Continue reading
The 2012 Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine
1/25/2012 The 2012 Louis-Jeantet Prize for Medicine is awarded to the German specialist in systems biology Matthias Mann, Director of the Department of Proteomics and Signal Transduction at the Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry in Martinsried, and to the British biologist Fiona … Continue reading
Technical note: Interpreting stable carbon isotopes in human tooth enamel: An examination of tissue spacings from South Africa
1/25/2012 Abstract Stable isotope analysis of skeletal tissues is widely used in archeology and paleoanthropology to reconstruct diet. In material that is poorly preserved or very old, the tissue of choice is frequently tooth enamel, since this is less susceptible … Continue reading
Isotope effects in high-Tc cuprate superconductors as support for the bipolaron theory of superconductivity
1/24/2012 Abstract We provide a unified parameter-free explanation of the observed oxygen-isotope effects on the critical temperature, the magnetic-field penetration depth and on the normal-state pseudogap for underdoped cuprate superconductors within the framework of the multi-(bi)polaron theory with strong Coulomb … Continue reading
Post-Doc Position
1/24/2012 The Department of Geological Sciences at Indiana University invites applications for a full-time postdoctoral research position aligned with a NASA-funded project entitled Shallow-Borehole Array for Measuring Greenland Emission of Trace Gases as an Analogue for Methane on Mars. We … Continue reading
Measurement of Hepatic Protein Fractional Synthetic Rate with Stable Isotope Labeling Technique in Thapsigargin Stressed HepG2 Cells
1/24/2012 Abstract Severe burn-induced liver damage and dysfunction is associated with endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress. ER stress has been shown to regulate global protein synthesis. In the current study, we induced ER stress in vitro and estimated the effect of … Continue reading
Postdoctoral Scholar on sources and cycling of non-photosynthetic carbon in plants
1/24/2012 The Department of Earth System Science at the University of California, Irvine seeks applicants for a postdoctoral scholar position in experimental research on sources and cycling of non-photosynthetic carbon in plants. The successful candidate will work closely with Drs. … Continue reading
Activities of gamma-ray emitting isotopes in rainwater from Greater Sudbury, Canada following the Fukushima incident
1/24/2012 Abstract We report the activity measured in rainwater samples collected in the Greater Sudbury area of eastern Canada on 3, 16, 20, and 26 April 2011. The samples were gamma-ray counted in a germanium detector and the isotopes 131I … Continue reading
The chemistry of exploding stars
1/20/2012 Fundamental chemical processes in predecessors of our solar system are now a bit better understood: An international team led by Peter Hoppe, researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Chemistry in Mainz, has now examined dust inclusions of the … Continue reading
