Vascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, stroke or myocardial infarction are a significant
public health problem worldwide. Attempts to prevent vascular diseases often imply …

Protein biochips are at the heart of many medical and bioanalytical applications. Increasing
interest has been focused on surface activation and subsequent functionalization strategies …

… Helmut Schröder and Olga Castaner conceived the study, participated in its design,
literature search, and collation of all drafts, and drafted the manuscript; Albert Goday, Yong-Moon …

Using the ARGUS detector at the e + e − storage ring DORIS II at DESY, we searched for b→u
transitions in exclusive hadronic B meson decays. A systematic analysis of B decays into …

Using the ARGUS detector at the DORIS II storage ring we have searched in three different
ways for B 0 -B 0 mixing in ϒ (4S) decays. One explicitly mixed event, a decay ϒ (4S)→B 0 B …

Atoms exposed to intense light lose one or more electrons and become ions. In strong fields,
the process is predicted to occur via tunnelling through the binding potential that is …

Ensuring the accuracy of dietary assessment instruments is paramount for interpreting diet-disease
relationships. The present study assessed the relative and construct validity of the 14-…

Using the ARGUS detector at thee + e − storage ring DORIS II, we have measuredB decays
into exclusive final states containing aD orD * meson plus several pions, or containing aJ/ψ …

Objective Independently of total caloric intake, a better quality of the diet (for example,
conformity to the Mediterranean diet) is associated with lower obesity risk. It is unclear whether a …

… H 2 SO 4 /H 2 O 2 piranha etch), followed by ultraviolet (172 nm) irradiation. Typical values
for the substrate surface roughness, σ S , were 2 to 2.5 Å, as determined by x-ray reflectivity. …
