Singularities of the solution of a mixed problem for a general second order elliptic equation and boundary stabilizationof the wave equation

We deal here with a second order elliptic mixed problem which is posed in a regular open bounded domain of . We study the regularity of its solution. We apply our results to the boundary stabilization of the wave equation.     

Photoionization of highly charged ions using an ECR ion source and undulator radiation

Photoionization of Xe4+ to Xe7+ ions was studied by combining an electron cyclotron resonance ion source with synchrotron radiation. Multiconfiguration Dirac-Fock calculations were performed to interpret the data. Many autoionization lines were measured and identified, resulting from excitation of a 4d electron into nf and np orbitals followed by Auger decay of the excited states. Continuum photoionization is negligible for the higher members of the isonuclear series.     

The Biarsenical Dye Lumio™ Exhibits a Reduced Ability to Specifically Detect Tetracysteine-Containing Proteins Within Live Cells

Investigating the localisation of proteins within live cells via fluorescence microscopy typically involves the fusion of the protein of interest to a large fluorescent protein such as green fluorescent protein (GFP). Alternate fluorescent labelling technologies such as the fluorescent biarsenical dye molecules (e.g. FlAsH, ReAsH) are preferable to the use of large fusion proteins in many respects and allow greater flexibility in terms of the location of the labelling site. We assessed the ability of the FlAsH-derived biarsenical dye molecule Lumio™ to label a range of tetracysteine containing proteins within live cells and report that although in some circumstances Lumio is capable of positively detecting such proteins, the sensitivity and specificity of labelling is significantly reduced, making the Lumio-labelling system unsuitable for the detection of a wide range of protein within live cells.
