    Surviving salt fluctuations: stress and recovery in Halobacterium salinarum, an extreme halophilic Archaeon

    Halophilic proteins subjected to below about 15% salt in vitro denature through misfolding, aggregation and/or precipitation. Halobacteria, however, have been detected in environments of fluctuating salinity such...

    Horse grazing in firebreaks sown with Trifolium brachycalycinum (Katznl. & Morley) and Cynodon dactylon (L.) Pers

    Firebreaks are useful to reduce the extent of forest fires, however, when they are cleared down the slope, soil erosion is increased and the native tall sward in summer can increase fire risk. The sown mixture Tr...

    Advances in the Realisation of GaN-Based Microcavities: Towards Strong Coupling at Room Temperature

    In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. B 68, 153313 (2003)], we reported the first experimental observation of the strong coupling regime in a GaN-based microcavity. The λ/2 GaN optical cavity was grown by molecular be...

    Upgrade of the backscattering spectrometer IN13 at ILL

    The availability of a high momentum transfer (0.3<Q(Å-1)<5.5) with an energy resolution of few μeV, makes the spectrometer IN13 particularly suited to the study of the local dynamics of soft matter, such as polym...

    Changes in protein dynamics induced under Gdn–HCl denaturation

    We have performed a study of protein dynamics in native and partially denatured horse-heart met-myoglobin (Mb-met) diluted in D2O. Protein dynamics is shown to be strongly solvent-dependent; in particular, higher...

    Changes in the anisotropy of oriented membrane dynamics induced by myelin basic protein

    We report recent results showing the evidence of the effect induced by physiological amounts of myelin basic protein (MBP) on the dynamics of dimyristoyl L-a-phosphatidic acid (DMPA) membranes. Incoherent elas...
