The stability of Killing–Cauchy horizons in colliding plane wave space-times
It is confirmed rigorously that the Killing–Cauchy horizons, which sometimes occur in space-times representing the collision and subsequent interaction of plane gravitational waves in a Minkowski background, are

Null Limits of the C-Metric
The C-metric is usually understood as describing two black holes which accelerate in opposite directions under the action of some conical singularity. Here, we examine all the solutions of this type which repr...

Null Limits of Generalised Bonnor-Swaminarayan Solutions
The Bonnor-Swaminarayan solutions are boost-rotation symmetric space-times which describe the motion of pairs of accelerating particles which are possibly connected to strings (struts). In an explicit and unif...

An integrated strategy for the process development of a recombinant antibody-cytokine fusion protein expressed in BHK cells
Recombinant fusion proteins offer important new therapeutic approaches for the future. This report describes the use of three different genetic strategies (i.e. “mono-”, “bi-” and “tri-cistronic” vectors) to ...

The Extensions of Gravitational Soliton Solutions with Real Poles
We analyse vacuum gravitational“soliton” solutions with real poles in thecosmological context. It is well known that thesesolutions contain singularities on certain nullhypersurfaces. Using a Kasner seed solut...

Perfect fluid space-times with a two-dimensional orthogonally transitive group of homothetic motions
We use theghp formalism to obtain perfect fluid space-times with a two-dimensional and orthogonally transitive group of proper homothetic motionsH 2, with the additional condition that the four-velocity of the fl...

A class of plane symmetric dust solutions
A class of plane symmetric solutions containing dust is considered. It is argued that, however inhomogeneous the mass distribution, matter on each plane of symmetry has no net attraction to matter on other pla...
