Abstract We present a sample of 88 candidate z ∼ 8.5–14.5 galaxies selected from the completed NIRCam imaging Cosmic Evolution Early Release Science survey. These data cover ∼90 arcmin 2 (10 pointings) in six broadband filters and one medium-band filter. With this we confirm at higher confidence early JWST conclusions that bright epoch are more abundant than predicted by most theoretical models. construct rest-frame ultraviolet luminosity functions 9, 11, 14 show space density ( M UV = −20)...
Abstract We analyze the evolution of massive (log 10 [ M ⋆ / ⊙ ] > 10) galaxies at z ∼ 1–4 selected from JWST Cosmic Evolution Early Release Survey (CEERS). infer physical properties all in CEERS NIRCam imaging through spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting with dense basis to select a sample high-redshift galaxies. Where available we include constraints additional observing modes, including 18 sources MIRI photometric coverage, and 28 spectroscopic confirmations NIRSpec or WFSS....
Abstract JWST’s Early Release Observations of the lensing cluster SMACS J0723.3–7327 have given an unprecedented spectroscopic look into high-redshift universe. These observations reveal five galaxies at z > 5. All detectable [O iii ] λ 4363 line emission, indicating that these high temperatures and low metallicities they are highly star-forming. In recent work, been studied using various techniques. Here we summarize compare previous results, as well perform our own measurements improved...
Abstract Deep Very Large Telescope/MUSE optical integral field spectroscopy has recently revealed an abundant population of ultra-faint galaxies ( M UV ≈ −15; 0.01 L ⋆ ) at z = 2.9−6.7 due to their strong Ly α emission with no detectable continuum. The implied equivalent widths can be in excess 100–200 Å, challenging existing models normal star formation and indicating extremely young ages, small stellar masses, a very low amount metal enrichment. We use JWST/NIRSpec’s microshutter array...
Several studies have investigated water/salt soluble proteins which comprise 50% of the in wheat. The remaining wheat proteins, are insoluble there is limited information on their role cereal hypersensitivity.To investigate allergenicity gliadin and glutenin (prolamins).RAST, electrophoresis Western blotting were used to identify allergens. Competitive RAST inhibition was conducted cross-reactivity between prolamins proteins.Specific IgE alpha-gliadin total glutenins detected all sera....

Summary Six workers with a diagnosis of occupational asthma and one chronic bronchitis were examined for sensitivity to epoxy resin systems certain their components. In six cases the chemical agent responsible symptoms was identified by careful inhalation challenge testing, simulating exposure at work thus providing precise aetiological diagnosis. worker followed triethylene tetramine fume; four sensitive acid anhydrides, three phthalic anhydride as fume or powder trimellitic anhydride. One...
We present a sample of 341 "little red dots" (LRDs) spanning the redshift range $z\sim2-11$ using data from CEERS, PRIMER, JADES, UNCOVER and NGDEEP surveys. These sources are likely heavily-reddened AGN that trace previously-hidden phase dust-obscured black hole growth in early Universe. Unlike past use color indices to identify LRDs, we employ continuum slope fitting shifting bandpasses same rest-frame emission blueward redward Balmer break. This approach allows us LRDs over wider is less...
BACKGROUND: There is a need for new respiratory symptoms questionnaire use in epidemiological research asthma. METHOD: A was designed following pilot study 78 subjects. It contains nine questions on such as wheeze and difficulty with breathing defined circumstances exercise sleep. completed by 211 adults validated comparison self reported history of asthma bronchial hyperresponsiveness to histamine. Its short term reproducibility measured three repeat administrations over two weeks. RESULTS:...
To describe the levels of exposure to fungal alpha-amylase in British bakeries and flour mills, relation between sensitisation alpha-amylase.495 personal dust samples were taken seven mills analysed for with an immunoassay. Workers at sites asked fill out questionnaires on work related symptoms, smoking history, they skin prick tested common allergens assess sensitisation.Exposure high concentrations occur a few areas there can be considerable differences exposures groups, even within...
