Open AccessInfluence of substrate type and magnetic anisotropy on the spin Seebeck effect in ZnFe2O4 thin films
The longitudinal spin Seebeck effect (LSSE) has been investigated in ZnFe2O4 (ZFO) thin films on different substrates, such as Si (111), MgO (100), and SrTiO3 (100). The LSSE voltage signal exhibited a linear dep...

Open AccessThe energy spectrum of cosmic rays beyond the turn-down around \(\varvec{10^{17}}\) eV as measured with the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
We present a measurement of the cosmic-ray spectrum above 100 PeV using the part of the surface detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory that has a spacing of 750 m. An inflection of the spectrum is observed, ...

Open AccessDirect measurement of the muonic content of extensive air showers between \(\mathbf { 2\times 10^{17}}\) and \(\mathbf {2\times 10^{18}}~\)eV at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The hybrid design of the Pierre Auger Observatory allows for the measurement of the properties of extensive air showers initiated by ultra-high energy cosmic rays with unprecedented precision. By using an arra...

Open AccessPhosphorylation of SOS1 on tyrosine 1196 promotes its RAC GEF activity and contributes to BCR-ABL leukemogenesis
Son of Sevenless 1 (SOS1) is a dual guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) that activates the small GTPases RAC and RAS. Although the molecular mechanisms of RAS GEF catalysis have been unveiled, how SOS1 ac...

Open AccessPGA1-induced apoptosis involves specific activation of H-Ras and N-Ras in cellular endomembranes
The cyclopentenone prostaglandin A1 (PGA1) is an inducer of cell death in cancer cells. However, the mechanism that initiates this cytotoxic response remains elusive. Here we report that PGA1 triggers apoptosis b...

Open AccessSearch for patterns by combining cosmic-ray energy and arrival directions at the Pierre Auger Observatory
Energy-dependent patterns in the arrival directions of cosmic rays are searched for using data of the Pierre Auger Observatory. We investigate local regions around the highest-energy cosmic rays with ...

Open AccessCharacterisation of the muon beams for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment
A novel single-particle technique to measure emittance has been developed and used to characterise seventeen different muon beams for the Muon Ionisation Cooling Experiment (MICE). The muon beams, whose mean m...
