Mad, bad and dangerous to know: the biochemistry, ecology and evolution of slow loris venom

Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins including Tropical Diseases, 2013
Only seven types of mammals are known to be venomous, including slow lorises (Nycticebus spp.). Despite the evolutionary significance of this unique adaptation amongst Nycticebus, the structure and function of slow loris venom is only just beginning to ...

The Planck-LFI instrument: analysis of the 1/f noise and implications for the scanning strategy [PDF]

, 1999
We study the impact of the 1/f noise on the PLANCK Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) osbervations (Mandolesi et al 1998) and describe a simple method for removing striping effects from the maps for a number of different scanning stategies.

Peaks in the Cosmic Microwave Background: flat versus open models [PDF]

, 1996
We present properties of the peaks (maxima) of the CMB anisotropies expected in flat and open CDM models. We obtain analytical expressions of several topological descriptors: mean number of maxima and the probability distribution of the gaussian ...

COBRaS

Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2020
Context. The role of massive stars is central to an understanding of galactic ecology. It is important to establish the details of how massive stars provide radiative, chemical, and mechanical feedback in galaxies. Central to these issues is an understanding of the evolution of massive stars, and the critical role of mass loss via strongly structured ...

Getting Around Cosmic Variance [PDF]

, 1997
Cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies probe the primordial density field at the edge of the observable Universe. There is a limiting precision (``cosmic variance'') with which anisotropies can determine the amplitude of primordial mass ...

Development of a Broad-Spectrum Antiserum against Cobra Venoms Using Recombinant Three-Finger Toxins

Toxins, 2021
Three-finger toxins (3FTXs) are the most clinically relevant components in cobra (genus Naja) venoms. Administration of the antivenom is the recommended treatment for the snakebite envenomings, while the efficacy to cross-neutralize the different cobra ...
