title: Estimation of DMSO concentration for cell cryopreservation on adhesion state.

description: Cryopreservation in the cell-adhesion state was investigated for the development of useful and easier handling technique of cell culture. In the present study, we used dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) as a cryoprotective agent and determined the suitable DMSO concentration for cryopreservation of HepG2 cells in the cell-adhesion state attached to glass and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) matrices coated with poly-Llysine. As a result, the rate of cell adhesion to PDMS matrix remained constant irrespective of the DMSO concentration between 10 v/v% and 30 v/v%. In the case of glass matrix, on the other hand, the rate of cell adhesion increased with the DMSO concentration. Cell viability was the highest at 20 v/v% DMSO concentration. DMSO concentration of 30 v/v%, however, had a cytotoxic effect on cell viability. Thus, 20 v/v% DMSO concentration was found to be the most suitable for cryopreservation of HepG2 cells in the adhesion state.

title: Parkes observations for project P855 semester 2014OCTS_BPSR_02

description: We propose to search for cosmological fast radio transients and intermittent pulsars during windstows and maintenance.  Fast radio transients are millisecond bursts of radio emission coming from cosmological distances, of which five are currently known.  New discoveries made in our searches will enable better characterisation of this unexpected population of objects.   We will also search for intermittent pulsars, which have duty cycles of 0.1 to 0.2 and time scales of weeks to months that were likely missed in previous surveys.

title: Parkes observations for project P682 semester 2014OCTS_BPSR_01

description: We request 35 hours to survey the Small Magellanic Cloud using the 20-cm multibeam receiver together with the recently developed Berkeley-Parkes-Swinburne data recorder.  This survey represents up to an order of magnitude improvement in sensitivity for millisecond pulsars and short duration transient radio sources in the Small Magellanic Cloud and will allow us to place new constraints on the populations of these sources.  If the proposed observations result in new discoveries, we intend to extend this survey to the Large Magellanic Cloud with the ultimate goal of studying the neutron star populations in these two external galaxies.

title: Parkes observations for project P875 semester 2014OCTS

description: In this proposal we aim to measure the flux densities of about 500 pulsars in a systematic way. Doing this we will vastly improve upon the current spectral knowledge of the pulsar population and provide around 1000 new measurements at 732 and 3100 MHz for about a quarter of the currently known pulsars. This is extremely important both for pulsar population studies, in particular for determining the spectral index of the radio emission, investigations of the pulsar emission mechanism and for optimizing observing strategies for next generation telescopes, such as the SKA. This proposal also acts as preparatory work for the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope, which we are refurbishing at the moment. This work will help us constrain the flux density expected at the centre frequency of Molonglo, at 843 MHz. We will also use the new data from Parkes to check and update the ephemerides of all the selected pulsars in order to have a database that is as up to date as possible before observations with Molonglo commence. We will also investigate the averaged pulse profiles and how they change with frequency.

title: Parkes observations for project P858 semester 2014OCTS44

description: SUPERB is a large-scale survey for pulsars and extragalactic radio bursts. It will uses optimised GPU codes to search for pulsars and fast radio bursts (FRBs), making discoveries in real time. Handling our data as it comes in is essential for the SKA Phase I era so this work applies directly to the high-data rates of next generation telescopes. The pulsars discovered will enable studies of the interstellar medium, allow us to more accurately constrain the MSP luminosity function (which informs estimates of the SKA yield of MSPs), tests of theories of gravity and several will contribute to the precision timing projects of the PPTA. The FRBs discovered will have much more associated information than all previous detections. Firstly the discovery lag will be ~1 second, rather than months/years. The Parkes observations will be shadowed by the Molonglo telescope to allow, for the first time, localisation of FRBs, and a host of optical and high-energy telescopes will then be triggered as appropriate. This is key for identifying FRB host galaxies, so as to solve the mystery of their progenitors. The survey will discover ~20 MSPs, ~100 slower pulsars and ~10 FRBs.

title: Effect of Paternal Exposure to Pu-239 on the Incidence of Cancer
title: Link to data and details in ERA

description: Purpose: To determine whether internal contamination with Pu-239 increases the incidence of cancer, in particular leukemias, in the F1 generation of CBA mice.

Status: 1993 - ongoing

Treatment: Intravenous injection with Pu-239 citrate or trisodium citrate of male mice. After 54 days, each male was mated with 2 females for up to 2 weeks and the offspring was followed for a life-time

Dosimetry: Amount injected, determination of Pu-239 in tissues of the injected males including liver, testis and accessory sex organs.

Endpoints: Necropsy observation and histopathology of all macroscopically obvious abnormalities in injected males and F1 offspring.

Animal: Male CBA/Ca mice 10 weeks of age.

Results: The data on Pu-239 content in testes and the corresponding dose have been obtained from the mice used for radiochemistry (see table below). Histopathological analysis showed no abnormalities in the testes of treated animals. No statistical difference between groups was observed with respect to the number of dams becoming pregnant, the number of double-failed matings (both females in the cage), the gestation period or the sex ratio. However, the control group faired worse than the exposed one with respect to pre-weaning mortality, litter size and pup weight. However, since the experiment was started with the controls that improvement of conditions with time could be a confounding factor. The lifespan study of the offspring which is still under way shows some sex differences in mortality, mainly as a result of the high incidence of liver tumours in the male.

description: This project is to continue timing and profile studies of the first double-pulsar system, a unique laboratory for gravitational physics. The main aims of this proposal are to provide the strongest tests to date for general relativity and to measure for the first time the moment-of-inertia of a neutron star. Additionally, we will determine the system geometry and map the pulsar beams via geodetic precession.

title: Parkes observations for project P574 semester 2014OCTS

description: We request time to observe 230 pulsars on a regular basis in order to provide the accurate ephemerides necessary for the detection and characterisation of gamma-ray pulsars with the Fermi satellite. The main science goals are to increase the number of known gamma-ray pulsars (both radio loud and radio quiet), to determine accurate pulse profiles, and to characterise their high energy (phase-resolved) spectra. In the radio, the observations will also allow us to find glitches, characterise timing noise, investigate dispersion and rotation measure variability, and enhance our knowledge of single pulse phenomenology. To date, we
are (co-)authors on 45 papers arising from the collaboration and P574 data. The data have contributed to the PhD theses of Lucas Guillemot and Damien Parent from the Bordeaux Fermi group and Kyle Watters from Stanford. Currently four students have active projects using the radio datasets.
