Propagation mechanisms for the Madden-Julian Oscillation [PDF]
The Madden-Julian Oscillation (MJO) is examined using 20 years of outgoing longwave radiation and NCEP-NCAR reanalysis data. Two mechanisms for the eastward propagation and regeneration of the convective anomalies are suggested.

Structure of RNA polymerase bound to ribosomal 30S subunit
In bacteria, mRNA transcription and translation are coupled to coordinate optimal gene expression and maintain genome stability. Coupling is thought to involve direct interactions between RNA polymerase (RNAP) and the translational machinery.

Ribosome•RelA structures reveal the mechanism of stringent response activation
Stringent response is a conserved bacterial stress response underlying virulence and antibiotic resistance. RelA/SpoT-homolog proteins synthesize transcriptional modulators (p)ppGpp, allowing bacteria to adapt to stress.

Nuclear structure of 30S and its implications for nucleosynthesis in classical novae
The uncertainty in the 29P(p,gamma)30S reaction rate over the temperature range of 0.1 - 1.3 GK was previously determined to span ~4 orders of magnitude due to the uncertain location of two previously unobserved 3+ and 2+ resonances in the 4.7 - 4.8 MeV ...

Predictive Value of the Oxygen Desaturation Induced by the 30-second Sit-to-stand-test combined with COPD Patient Self-assessment Test in Exercise-induced Hypoxemia and Its Clinical Application [PDF]
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is one of the most common respiratory diseases in elderly patients, and a decrease in oxygen saturation during activity is a common phenomenon correlated with the prognosis.

30S Beam Development and X-ray Bursts
Over the past three years, we have worked on developing a well-characterized 30S radioactive beam to be used in a future experiment aiming to directly measure the 30S(alpha,p) stellar reaction rate within the Gamow window of Type I X-ray bursts.
