As typical biofoulers, barnacles possess hard shells and cause serious biofouling problems. In this study, we analyzed the protein component of the barnacle Amphibalanus (= Balanus) amphitrite shell using gel-based proteomics. The results revealed 52 proteins in the A. Amphitrite shell. Among them, 40 proteins were categorized into 11 functional groups based on KOG database, and the remaining 1...

The spectrum of the normal Type Ia SN 1990N observed very early on (14 days before B maximum) was analysed by Fisher et al. (1997), who showed that the large width and the unusual profile of the strong line near 6000Å can be reproduced if the line is assumed to be due to C ii 6578, 6583Å and if Carbon is located in a high velocity shell. This line is one of the characterising features of SNe Ia...

Neutron scattering data are reported for II·VI zincblende crystals, which are believed to be of suf· ficient precision to refine earlier ZnS ambiguities and to provide a basis for model fitting compar· able to existing III· V results. Valence shell models, including 9-12 parameters (VSM) and a vari· able shell charge extension (VCM), were fit to the data and used to generate phonon density of s...

We present a survey of molecular gas in the J = 1→ 0 transition of 12CO towards the IRAS Vela shell. The shell, previously identified from IRAS maps, is a ring-like structure seen in the region of the Gum Nebula. We confirm the presence of molecular gas associated with some of the infrared point sources seen along the Shell. We have studied the morphology and kinematics of the gas and conclude ...

We report in this paper a facile approach for the formation and electrochemical characterization of silver-silver oxide core-shell nanoparticles (NPs). Thus, thermal treatment at temperatures between 200 and 360 degrees C of Ag NP, in the gas phase or in an organic solvent, has been used to achieve the formation Ag@Ag2O NP. The evidence of formation of such a core-shell structure was obtained b...

We analyze the observed shell gaps in N = Z nuclei determined from the binding energy differences. It is found that the shell gaps can be described by the combined contributions from the single-particle level spacing, the like-nucleon pairing, and the proton-neutron pairing interaction. This conclusion is consistent with that of Chasman in Phys. Rev. Lett. 99 (2007) 082501. For the double-close...

We propose a model for the geometry of a dynamical spherical shell in which the metric is asymptotically Schwarzschild, but deviates from Ricci-flatness in a finite neighbourhood of the shell. Hence, the geometry corresponds to a ‘hairy’ black hole, with the hair originating on the shell. The metric is regular for an infalling shell, but it bifurcates, leading to two disconnected Schwarzschild-...

Electrostatic properties and stability of charged virus-like nano-shells are examined in ionic solutions with monovalent and multivalent ions. A theoretical model based on a thin charged spherical shell and multivalent ions within the "dressed multivalent ion" approximation, yielding their distribution across the shell and the corresponding electrostatic (osmotic) pressure acting on the shell, ...

We report the results of a BeppoSAX observation of the composite supernova remnant G0.9+0.1, located in the Galactic Center region. This new observation, in which the core of G0.9+0.1 is observed on–axis, confirms our previous results obtained from a pointing in which the supernova remnant was serendipitously observed at a large off–axis angle. The better quality of the new data allows us to co...
