The Gala payload ensures maximum passive stability using a single material, SiC, for most of its elements. Dedicated metrology instruments are, however, required to carry out two functions: monitoring the basic angle and refocusing the telescope. Two interferometers fed by the same laser are used to measure the basic angle changes at the level of pas (prad, micropixel), which is the highest level
Nandita Singh and her colleagues look at children’s water rights in India. They argue for the exercise of the right to water by children by analysing the universal normative-legal framework and its difference to the local socio-culturally defined framework. They suggest that defining problems and designing actions only within the normative-legal framework can obscure understanding the critic
The synthesis of two galabioside (Golalpha1-4Gal) collections based on diversification at the O-1 and O-3' atoms is reported. The galabiosides were evaluated as inhibitors of hemagglutination of human erythrocytes by two strains of Escherichia coli that expressed the class I and class II PapG adhesins, respectively. The class I adhesin. was found to prefer aromatic substituents both at the O-1 and
In this paper, we study and compare a number of subspace-based methods for determining the the number of sinusoids in noise. These are based on the subspace orthogonality and and shift-invariance properties that are known from the MUSIC (multiple signal classification) and ESPRIT frequency estimators. The method based on the orthogonality property has not previously appeared in the literature. We
In this paper we present an investigation of to perform simultaneous measurements of the D/H-ratio by coincidence measurements using proton-proton scattering and proton-deuteron scattering or deuteron-deuteron scattering and deuteron-proton scattering. This is performed with the use of a double sided silicon strip detector (DSSSD), which provides both position information and energy information. T
In the Brassicaceae plant family, which includes the Arabidopsis and Brassica genera, self-incompatibility (SI) is controlled by genes at the S locus. Using experimental crosses, we studied the pattern of inheritance of S-locus alleles in the wild species Brassica cretica. Four full-sib families were established and unequal segregation of alleles at the SRK SI gene was found in one family. The seg
A stochastic background of gravitational waves is expected to arise from a superposition of many incoherent sources of gravitational waves, of either cosmological or astrophysical origin. This background is a target for the current generation of ground-based detectors. In this article we present the first joint search for a stochastic background using data from the LIGO and Virgo interferometers.
The reaction of the ligand [1-(4-((1H-benzo[d][1,2,3]triazol-2(3H)-yl)methyl)benzyl)-1H-benzo[d][1, 2,3]triazole] (L) with CuCl2 in acetonitrile yields a dinuclear copper(II) complex [Cu2Cl4L2]center dot 2CH(3)CN (1.2CH3CN), which has been characterized by elemental analysis, powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction, thermal gravimetric analysis as well as IR, UV-Vis and EPR spectroscopy The cr
Purpose: Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman’s work on modes of “thinking” provides a comprehensive text which is little explored in respect of work with people who have an intellectual or developmental disability. This paper aims to explore the potential of this work to change staff development and practice. Design/methodology/approach: Key themes from Thinking Fast, and Slow (Kahneman, 2011) are
A search for charged leptons with large impact parameters using 139 fb-1 of s=13 TeV pp collision data from the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented, addressing a long-standing gap in coverage of possible new physics signatures. Results are consistent with the background prediction. This search provides unique sensitivity to long-lived scalar supersymmetric lepton partners (sleptons). For lifeti
