Fully Superconducting Josephson Bolometers for Gigahertz Astronomy
The origin and the evolution of the universe are concealed in the evanescent diffuse extragalactic background radiation (DEBRA). To reveal these signals, the development of innovative ultra-sensitive bolometers operating in the gigahertz band is required.

Relationships Between Habitat and Snag Characteristics and the Reproductive Success of the Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla) in Eastern Texas. [PDF]
Habitat use and reproductive success of the Brown-headed Nuthatch (Sitta pusilla Latham) were studied in East Texas during the 2001-2002 breeding seasons. We compared nest cavity selection at used and randomly selected non-used areas.

Asynchronous grammaticalization: V1-conditionals in present-day English and German [PDF]
The present paper contrasts verb-first (= V1-)conditionals in written usage in present-day English and German. Based on the hypothesis that V1-protases originated in independent interrogatives and then grammaticalized as conditional subordinate clauses ...

Opportunistic use of a wool-like artificial material as lining of Tit (Paridae) nests [PDF]
The lining material is a key element of bird nests primarily serving as insulation for the adult, eggs and/or chicks but collection of such material will have an energetic cost.

Peripheral Neuron Survival and Outgrowth on Graphene
Graphene displays properties that make it appealing for neuroregenerative medicine, yet its interaction with peripheral neurons has been scarcely investigated. Here, we culture on graphene two established models for peripheral neurons: PC12 cells and DRG

Single-cell imaging of α and β cell metabolic response to glucose in living human Langerhans islets
A combination of live imaging and immunofluorescence on donor islet cells uncover an anti-correlation of enzyme-bound NAD(P)H and insulin secretion power.

We demonstrate that electrically pumped random laser resonators, operating at terahertz (THz) frequencies, and comprising a quantum cascade laser heterostructure, can operate as sensitive photodetectors through the self-mixing effect.

The Existence and Stability of Noncommutative Scalar Solitons [PDF]
We establish existence and stabilty results for solitons in noncommutative scalar field theories in even space dimension $2d$. In particular, for any finite rank spectral projection $P$ of the number operator ${\mathcal N}$ of the $d$-dimensional ...
