Proton acceleration in thermonuclear nova explosions revealed by gamma rays
Classical novae are cataclysmic binary star systems in which the matter of a companion star is accreted on a white dwarf1,2. Accumulation of hydrogen in a layer eventually causes a thermonuclear explosion on the ...

Thermal Stability of Pt Nanoparticles Supported on WOx/Al2O3 for n-Heptane Hydroconversion
The thermal stabilization of γ-Al2O3 using W+6 ions has been found useful to the synthesis of Pt/Al2O3 catalysts. The sequential impregnation method was used to study the effect of W6+ upon Pt/ γ-Al2O3 reducibili...

Effect of Pulsar Timing Noise and Glitches on γ-Pulsar Observation
Pulsed emission from a few Gamma-Ray pulsars may be detectable with Ground-Based Gamma-Ray Telescopes, at energies of 10–30 GeV. A timing analysis may in part overcome the difficulty of the faint Cherenkov lig...

Genetically modified CD34+ cells as cellular vehicles for gene delivery into areas of angiogenesis in a rhesus model
To develop a cellular vehicle able to reach systemically disseminated areas of angiogenesis, we sought to exploit the natural tropism of circulating endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs). Primate CD34+ EPCs were ge...
