Scattered-Light Echoes from the Historical Galactic Supernovae Cassiopeia A and Tycho (SN 1572) (2008)

Rest, A., Welch, D. L., Suntzeff, N. B., Oaster, L., Lanning, H., Olsen, K., ...

We report the discovery of an extensive system of scattered light echo arclets associated with the recent supernovae in the local neighbourhood of the Milky Way: Tycho (SN 1572) and Cassiopeia A....

Spectral Identification of an Ancient Supernova using Light Echoes in the LMC (2008)

Rest, A., Matheson, T., Blondin, S., Bergmann, M., Welch, D. L., Suntzeff, N. B., ...

We report the successful identification of the type of the supernova responsible for the supernova remnant SNR 0509-675 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) using Gemini spectra of surrounding light...

Echoes from Ancient Supernovae in the Large Magellanic Cloud (2005)

Rest, A., Suntzeff, N. B., Olsen, K., Prieto, J. L., Smith, R. C., Welch, D. L., ...

In principle, the light from historical supernovae could still be visible as scattered-light echoes even centuries later. However, while echoes have been discovered around some nearby extragalactic...

Testing LMC Microlensing Scenarios: The Discrimination Power of the SuperMACHO Microlensing Survey (2005)

Rest, A., Stubbs, C., Becker, A. C., Miknaitis, G. A., Miceli, A., Covarrubias, R., ...

Characterizing the nature and spatial distribution of the lensing objects that produce the previously measured microlensing optical depth toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) remains an open...

The SuperMACHO Microlensing Survey (2004)

Becker, A. C., Rest, A., Stubbs, C., Miknaitis, G. A., Miceli, A., Covarrubias, R., ...

We present the first results from our next-generation microlensing survey, the SuperMACHO project. We are using the CTIO 4m Blanco telescope and the MOSAIC imager to carry out a search for...

Really Cool Stars and the Star Formation History at the Galactic Center (2003)

Blum, R. D., Ramirez, Solange V., Sellgren, K., Olsen, K.

We present R=550 to 1200 near infrared H and K spectra for a magnitude limited sample of 79 asymptotic giant branch and cool supergiant stars in the central ~ 5 pc (diameter) of the Galaxy. We use a...

Management of Mongolian Gazelles as a Sustainable Resource (2003)

Calanus Finmarchicus (2001)

M. R. Heath, O. S. Astthorsson, J. Dunn, B. Ellertsen, E. Gaard, A. Gislason, ...

between nowcast estimates of egg production based on female abundance, temperature, and chlorophyll, and hindcast simulations of the egg production required to account for the observed abundance of...

Aspects of duality (1999)

Olsen, K

This thesis discusses various aspects of duality in quantum field theory and string theory. In the first part we consider duality in topological quantum field theories, concentrating on the Donaldson...

Direct Ex Vivo Measurement of CD8+ T-Lymphocyte Responses to Human Parvovirus B19

Tolfvenstam, T., Oxenius, A., Price, D. A., Shacklett, B. L., Spiegel, H. M. L., Hedman, K., ...

Parvovirus B19 is a common human pathogen which can cause severe syndromes, including aplastic anemia and fetal hydrops. The mapping of the first parvovirus B19-derived CD8+ T-lymphocyte epitope is...

Pharmacodynamics and bactericidal activity of ceftriaxone therapy in experimental cephalosporin-resistant pneumococcal meningitis.

Lutsar, I, Ahmed, A, Friedland, I R, Trujillo, M, Wubbel, L, Olsen, K, ...

Adequate concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) are difficult to achieve for meningitis caused by drug-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. Ceftriaxone in dosages of...

Pharmacokinetics and plasma bactericidal activity of aztreonam in low-birth-weight infants.

Likitnukul, S, McCracken, G H, Threlkeld, N, Darabi, A, Olsen, K

Aztreonam (30 mg/kg) was administered intravenously every 12 h during week 1 and every 8 h during weeks 2 to 4 of life to 26 low-birth-weight (less than 2,000 g) infants, and plasma...

Pharmacology of ketoconazole suspension in infants and children.

Ginsburg, C M, McCracken, G H, Olsen, K

The pharmacokinetics of ketoconazole administered as either a commercially prepared suspension or as a crushed tablet in applesauce were studied in 12 children. The mean peak plasma concentration of...

Evaluation of antimicrobial regimens for treatment of experimental penicillin- and cephalosporin-resistant pneumococcal meningitis.

Friedland, I R, Paris, M, Ehrett, S, Hickey, S, Olsen, K, McCracken, G H

The most appropriate therapy for meningitis caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae strains resistant to the extended-spectrum cephalosporins is unknown. We evaluated ceftriaxone, vancomycin, and rifampin...

Cloning, analysis, and expression of murine perforin 1 cDNA, a component of cytolytic T-cell granules with homology to complement component C9.

Lowrey, D M, Aebischer, T, Olsen, K, Lichtenheld, M, Rupp, F, Hengartner, H, ...

The nucleotide sequence coding for the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) protein perforin 1 (P1) has been determined and the corresponding protein sequence has been derived. Murine CTL cDNA libraries...

Temperature-dependent modulation of lipopolysaccharide-induced interleukin-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha expression in cultured human astroglial cells by dexamethasone and indomethacin.

Velasco, S, Tarlow, M, Olsen, K, Shay, J W, McCracken, G H, Nisen, P D

In bacterial meningitis, LPS induces production in cerebrospinal fluid of the cytokines IL-1 beta and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha), which are the principle mediators of meningeal...
