Plant-parasitic-nematodes represent a major threat to the agricultural production of different
crops worldwide. Due to the high toxicity of chemical nematicides, it is necessary to develop …

Desmoid tumors (DTs) are histologically benign proliferations of stromal cells but may grow
locally aggressive. Overall, DTs are rare (0.03% of all neoplasms). A minority of DTs is …

The accumulation of toxic metals and metalloids, such as cadmium (Cd), mercury (Hg), or
arsenic (As), as a consequence of various anthropogenic activities, poses a serious threat to …

Using data collected at the Pierre Auger Observatory during the past 3.7 years, we demonstrated
a correlation between the arrival directions of cosmic rays with energy above 6 × 10 19 …

The energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 2.5× 10 18 eV, derived from 20 000 events recorded
at the Pierre Auger Observatory, is described. The spectral index γ of the particle flux, J…

This Letter reports results from the MINOS experiment based on its initial exposure to
neutrinos from the Fermilab NuMI beam. The rates and energy spectra of charged current ν μ …

We report the results of a search for ν e appearance in a ν μ beam in the MINOS long-baseline
neutrino experiment. With an improved analysis and an increased exposure of 8.2× 10 20 …

Construction of the first stage of the Pierre Auger Observatory has begun. The aim of the
Observatory is to collect unprecedented information about cosmic rays above 10 18 eV . The …

We report a measurement of the flux of cosmic rays with unprecedented precision and statistics
using the Pierre Auger Observatory. Based on fluorescence observations in coincidence …

We describe the measurement of the depth of maximum, X max, of the longitudinal development
of air showers induced by cosmic rays. Almost 4000 events above 10 18 eV observed …
