Development of Nanoflare Nanosensors for Monitoring Cellular Insulin mRNA in Beta Cells and Islets

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This study presents the design and application of In2‐NF probes for detecting insulin mRNA in beta cells and islets. Using spherical nucleic acid‐coated gold nanoparticles, the probes offer strong fluorescent signals upon hybridization. Their performance is validated across 2D and 3D cultures and rat islets, demonstrating sensitive, real‐time mRNA ...

Flares in Open Clusters with K2. I. M45 (Pleiades), M44 (Praesepe) and M67

open access: yes, 2018
The presence and strength of a stellar magnetic field and activity is rooted in a star's fundamental parameters such as mass and age. Can flares serve as an accurate stellar "clock"? To explore if we can quantify an activity-age relation in the form of

Stellar flares are far-ultraviolet luminous

open access: yesMonthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society
ABSTRACT We identify 182 flares on 158 stars within 100 pc of the Sun in both the near-ultraviolet (NUV; $1750\!-\!2750$ Å) and far-ultraviolet (FUV; $1350\!-\!1750$ Å) using high-cadence light curves from the Galaxy Evolution Explorer. Ultraviolet (UV) emission from stellar flares plays a crucial role in determining the habitability of ...

Flare Stars in Stellar Aggregates [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1977
After the report on flare stars presented by Ambartsumian and the author (1971) at the last Bamberg Colloquium, some success has been achieved in the study of these interesting objects.Optical observations of stellar flares with high time-resolution undoubtedly proved the explosive character of this phenomenon and the non-thermal nature of the ...

Functional models from limited data: A parametric and multimodal approach to anatomy and 3D kinematics of feeding in basking sharks (Cetorhinus maximus)

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Basking sharks, Cetorhinus maximus (Gunnerus, Brugden [Squalus maximus], Det Kongelige Norske Videnskabers Selskabs Skrifter, 1765, vol. 3, pp. 33–49), feed by gaping their mouths and gill slits, greatly reorienting their cranial skeletons to filter food from water.

Analyzing the Morphology of Late-phase Stellar Flares from G-, K-, and M-type Stars

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Stellar flares occasionally present a peak-bump light-curve morphology, consisting of an initial impulsive phase followed by a gradual late phase.

Description of the skull, braincase, and dentition of Moschognathus whaitsi (Dinocephalia, Tapinocephalia), and its palaeobiological and behavioral implications

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract A subadult Moschognathus whaitsi from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa, was scanned using synchrotron radiation X‐ray computed tomography (SRXCT). Its subadult state allowed the cranial bones and teeth to be identified and individually reconstructed in 3D.

Searching for Stellar Activity Cycles Using Flares: The Short- and Long-timescale Activity Variations of TIC-272272592

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
We examine 4 yr of Kepler 30 minutes data, and five sectors of Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite 2 minutes data for the dM3 star KIC-8507979/TIC-272272592. This rapidly rotating ( P = 1.2 day) star has previously been identified as flare active, with

The Shape of M Dwarf Flares in Kepler Light Curves

open access: yes, 2015
Ultra-precise light curves from Kepler provide the best opportunity to determine rates and statistical properties of stellar flares. From 11 months of data on the active M4 dwarf, GJ 1243, we have built the largest catalog of flares for a single star ...
