Nanoparticles in microdroplets: Recent advances in microfluidic generators for producing functional microbeads

Droplet, EarlyView.
Functional hybrid microbeads with electrical, magnetic, and/or optical responsiveness have emerged as versatile platforms for biotechnology. This review highlights recent advances in microfluidic technologies for producing such microbeads, with a focus on incorporating functional nanoparticles in microdroplet systems.

Rapidly rotating red giants

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2017
Stellar oscillations give seismic information on the internal properties of stars. Red giants are targets of interest since they present mixed modes, wich behave as pressure modes in the convective envelope and as gravity modes in the radiative core ...

From the atmosphere to the circumstellar environment in cool evolved stars

, 2014
We discuss and illustrate contributions that optical interferometry has made on our current understanding of cool evolved stars. We include red giant branch (RGB) stars, asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, and red supergiants (RSGs).

The segregation of Calb1, Calb2, and Prph neurons reveals distinct and mixed neuronal populations and projections to hair cells in the inner ear and central nuclei

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Three populations of hair cells have a distinct expression of Calb1 and Calb2. (A, A′D) The central is highly positive for Calb1 while surrounding HC are positive for Calb2. Later, a calyx forms primarily with Calb1. (B, B′, D′, D″) Saccule and utricle start out positive for Calb2 but will upregulate the Calb1 in the striola that is primarily forming ...

Discovery of a Metal-poor Red Giant Star with the Highest Ultralithium Enhancement

The Astrophysical Journal
We present the discovery of 2MASS J05241392−0336543 (hereafter J0524−0336), a very metal-poor ([Fe/H] = −2.43 ± 0.16), highly r -process-enhanced ([Eu/Fe] = +1.34 ± 0.10) Milky Way halo field red giant star, with an ultrahigh Li abundance of A (Li, 3D ...

Non-radial oscillations in M-giant semi-regular variables: Stellar models and Kepler observations

, 2014
The success of asteroseismology relies heavily on our ability to identify the frequency patterns of stellar oscillation modes. For stars like the Sun this is relatively easy because the mode frequencies follow a regular pattern described by a well ...

The Tip of the Red Giant Branch

, 2007
I review the latest results on the calibration of the Tip of the Red Giant Branch as a standard candle, in the optical and in the near infrared. The agreement among different and independent empirical calibrations is rather good, if all the uncertainties are taken into account.

IS DUST FORMING ON THE RED GIANT BRANCH IN 47 Tuc?

The Astrophysical Journal, 2010
Using Spitzer IRAC observations from the SAGE-SMC Legacy program and archived Spitzer IRAC data, we investigate dust production in 47 Tuc, a nearby massive Galactic globular cluster. A previous study detected infrared excess, indicative of circumstellar dust, in a large population of stars in 47 Tuc, spanning the entire Red Giant Branch (RGB).

Inherited metabolic epilepsies–established diseases, new approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract Inherited metabolic epilepsies (IMEs) represent the inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs) in which epilepsy is a prevailing component, often determining other neurodevelopmental outcomes associated with the disorder. The different metabolic pathways affected by individual IMEs are the basis of their rarity and heterogeneity.

Reddening and Distance of the Local Group Starburst Galaxy IC 10

, 2009
We estimate the reddening and distance of the nearest starburst galaxy IC 10 using deep near infrared $JHK_{S}$ photometry obtained with the Multi-Object InfraRed Camera and Spectrograph (MOIRCS) on the Subaru telescope.
