Open AccessDifferent environmental variables predict distribution and cover of the introduced red seaweed Eucheuma denticulatum in two geographical locations
In this study we examined abiotic and biotic factors that could potentially influence the presence of a non-indigenous seaweed, Eucheuma denticulatum, in two locations, one outside (Kane’ohe Bay, Hawai’i, USA) an...

Broad line emission from iron K- and L-shell transitions in the active galaxy 1H 0707-495
The emission line arising from a transition of an electron from the iron K shell to the ground state (the K line) is prominent in the reflection spectrum of the hard X-ray continuum irradiating dense accreting...

TGF-β-mediated activation of RhoA signalling is required for efficient V12HaRas and V600EBRAF transformation
Transforming growth factor β-1 (TGF-β) acts as both a tumour suppressor and a tumour promoter in a context-dependent manner. The tumour-promoting activities of TGF-β are likely to result from a combination of ...

Studies of resolidification of non-thermally molten InSb using time-resolved X-ray diffraction
We have used time-resolved X-ray diffraction to monitor the resolidification process of molten InSb. Melting was induced by an ultra-short laser pulse and the measurement conducted in a high-repetition-rate mu...
