SN 2002kg is a type IIn supernova, detected in October 2002 in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2403. We show that the position of SN 2002kg agrees within the errors with the position of the LBV V37. Ground based and HST ACS images however show that V37 is still present after the SN 2002kg event. We compiled a lightcurve of V37 which underlines the variablity of the object, and shows that SN 2002kg...

We investigate the possibility to detect giant planets that are still embedded in young circumstellar disks. Based on models with different stellar, planetary, and disk masses, and different radial positions of the planet we analyze the resulting submillimeter appearance of these systems. We find that the influence of the planet on the spectral energy distribution could not be distinguished fro...

The evaluation of the SILAC AP-MS experiments required a threshold for the SILAC ratio to define when an identified protein should be considered a contaminant or putative interaction partner. Other studies apply a statistical measure such as the Grubbs outlier test [1] or the z -test [2] to measure whether the deviation of a SILAC ratio is significant. These tests presuppose that the parameter ...

BACKGROUND A comparison has been made of the development of mouse zygotes in either one-step or two-step culture systems. METHODS Embryo culture, blastocyst cell counts and embryo transfer were done. RESULTS No significant differences were observed in the proportions of blastocysts, rates of hatching, numbers of cells in the inner cell mass (ICM) and trophectoderm (TE) that developed in pro...
