Multiscale Magnetic Fields in Star-forming Regions: Interferometric Polarimetry of the MMS 6 Core of OMC-3

We present the first interferometric observations of linearly polarized emission toward the OMC-3 region of the Orion A cloud. We have observed the MMS 6 protostellar core at 1.3 mm with the Berkeley-Illinois-Maryland Association (BIMA) array, achieving a resolution of 4. ″3 × 3. ″0. We find that the polarization angle measured changes systematically across the core, orienting along a dust extension to the northwest. The polarization angle is oriented similarly to the 850 and 350 μm polarized emission measured by the SCUBA and Hertz polarimeters. A polarization hole is detected, as is typical of polarized emission data toward cores. Since the BIMA data are insensitive to structure on spatial scales of >40'', the emission detected is dominated by the core and not the integral-shaped filament in which it is embedded. Observations of CO J = 2-1 reveal CO emission potentially associated with the core, but no outflow signature is detected. Utilizing the Chandrasekhar-Fermi method, we have used the dispersion in the polarization vectors to estimate a field strength of 640 μG in the plane of the sky, assuming a corrective Q-factor of 0.5. Applying the recent measurement of the inclination of the field to the line of sight (Houde et al.), a total field strength of 680 μG is derived. Despite highly nonthermal line widths, the kinetic energy density is found to be insufficient to support this core against gravitational collapse. The magnetic energy density, when combined with the predominantly turbulent kinetic energy density, is comparable to the effects of gravity, but its value is highly dependent on the applied Q-factor to a degree that the core may be subcritical or supercritical. The preservation of the field geometry from large to small scales in this core is consistent with observations of a second protostellar core in a filamentary cloud in Orion B.
PHYSICOCHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME NEW PEANUT VARIETIES CULTIVATED IN EGYPT

Peanuts are one of the major oilseed crops in the world and are an important source of protein in many countries. This study was carried out to evaluate new peanuts varieties (Giza5, Gregory and NC). The chemical composition, bioactive compounds and mineral of peanut cultivars were determined. The oil was extracted and physico-chemical properties and the fatty acid composition were determined. Finally, some types of butter were manufactured, and the sensory evaluation of processed butter was studied. Peanut seeds are a rich source of oil content (35.98 to 41.76%). Giza 5 variety has the highest contents of minerals as compared with other varieties. In addition, peanuts are considered an excellent source of certain vitamins, especially vit.E and the B complex. Also, results showed that saturated fatty acids ranged from 20.29 to 21.09%, monounsaturated fatty acids ranged from 41.64 to 42.93% and polyunsaturated fatty acids ranged from 34.67 to 36.07%. Peanuts butter made from Giza5 peanut variety had the best overall acceptability after control sample.
Drug Promising Effect for Diabetic Mice of CARICA PAPAYA Leaves

Diabetics Mellitus is a major problem for city people worldwide. The objective of this study is finding the anti-diabetic and anti-hyper lipidaemic activity by using Carica papaya leaves. This leaves are not generally eaten but this leaves were eaten during dengue fever. The leaves extract is used for the treatment of diabetes and cancer. This leaves were collected from different place of Bangladesh and made methanolic extract then this extract was feed four groups of mice. The results showed that there was a significant (p<0.001 to p<0.05) reduction in blood glucose concentration (mmol/L) by the methanolic extract of C. papaya leaves at dose 100 mg/kg, 200 mg/kg and glibenclamide (used as standard) 5mg/kg body weight. C. papaya leaves extract also regulated the serum lipid profile levels significantly (p<0.001) at same dose in experimental model of diabetes mellitus. The level of serum SGPT, SGOT and CRP were also seen change to the normal level notably (p<0.001) by the oral administration of methanolic extract of C. papaya leaves. In conclusion this research finding indicate that the methanolic extract of Carica papaya leaves contains bioactive substances with hypoglycemic potency.
Lithospheric S Wave Velocity Variations Beneath the Mackenzie Mountains and Northern Canadian Cordillera

The Mackenzie Mountains (MMs) in the Yukon and Northwest Territories, Canada, are an enigmatic mountain range. They are currently uplifting (Leonard et al., 2008, https//doi.org/10.1029/2007JB005456), yet are about 700 km from the nearest plate boundary. Their arcuate shape is distinct and extends over 100 km eastward from the general trend of the Northern Canadian Cordillera. To better assess the cause and conditions of the current uplift, we processed ambient seismic noise data from a linear array of broadband seismographs crossing the mountains, along with other regional seismic stations, to estimate Rayleigh wave phase velocities between 6 and 40 s periods. From this, we estimated phase velocity dispersion and performed a tomographic inversion to estimate VS. Tomography reveals a low‐velocity structure that extends upward from the base of the ∼50–66 km thick lithosphere to the upper crust, and we hypothesize that inferred low density and low rigidity associated with the VS anomaly localizes the ongoing uplift and thrust‐dominated seismicity of the MMs. Additionally, we find relatively low crustal velocities that extend to the west of the MMs, suggesting that strain transfer from the Gulf of Alaska plate boundary plays a driving role as the crust translates to the northeast and buckles up against the craton consistent with the orogenic float hypothesis of Mazzotti and Hyndman (2002, https//doi.org/10.1130/0091-7613(2002)030〈0495:YCASTA〉2.0. CO;2). Finally, we observe lithospheric azimuthal anisotropy with an NW‐SE fast direction. This is nearly orthogonal to teleseismic shear wave splitting measurements in the central MMs, and suggests that asthenosphere flow and lithospheric strain are not aligned in this region.
Response of Washington Navel Orange Trees to Magnetized Irrigation Water and Different Levels of NPK Fertilization

A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of two types of irrigation water i.e., saline water (EC=3.58 dSm) and magnetized water, under three NPK fertilization levels (100, 80 and 60% of recommended dose), on the growth characteristics, nutritional status and productivity of Washington navel orange trees during the 2019 and 2020 seasons. Six treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design as factorial experiment. Each treatment was replicated three times with three trees per replicate. Irrigation with magnetized water enhanced trees growth in terms of number of shoots per branch, shoot length, leaf area, canopy volume, root dry weight, overall nutritional status, yield, and fruit quality. Tree growth, leaf content of chlorophyll, total carbohydrates, and N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, as well as fruit set, yield and fruit quality were significantly improved with increased levels of NPK fertilization, whereas Na, Cl, fruit drop were decreased but leaf proline content was not affected. The interaction effect of magnetic water and NPK fertilization significantly increased all the studied parameters, particularly at 80% NPK. This treatment improves tree growth, root growth, nutritional status, yield, and fruit quality. It could be recommended that the combined application of magnetized water and NPK fertilization (80%) effectively alleviates the adverse effects of saline water stress and improve tree growth, yield and fruit quality under sandy soil and drip irrigation conditions, in addition to saving about 20% of NPK fertilizers.
Velocity Observations of Multiple-Mode Asymptotic Giant Branch Variable Stars

Numerous infrared spectroscopic observations were obtained of nine asymptotic giant branch (AGB) field M giants that have multiple periods of light variability. Each star has a short period of several months, which is typical of low amplitude pulsation for stars on the AGB, as well as a long period of 1–3 yr, which is significantly longer than the predicted fundamental-mode pulsations for these stars. The location of these stars in the AGB period-luminosity relation is discussed. For six of the nine giants we found radial-velocity periods that confirm the long-period light variability. Although we considered the possibility that the velocity variations result from orbital motion, we conclude that the long-period velocity changes in most, if not all of the sample stars, likely result from a currently unknown type of pulsation rather than duplicity.
Association between FLT3-ITD and additional chromosomal abnormalities in the prognosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia

Objectives Internal tandem duplications of the Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 gene (FLT3-ITD) and additional chromosomal abnormalities (ACA) are prognostic factors in patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL). This study aimed to determine the effect of the association between FLT3-ITD and ACA in the prognosis of APL. Methods This was a retrospective cohort study including 60 patients with APL treated with all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and chemotherapy. Five-year overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) were analyzed in patient groups according to the presence of FLT3-ITD and ACA. Results FLT3-ITD was an independent adverse factor for 5-year PFS, and ACA was an independent adverse factor for 5-year OS. There were significant differences in OS and PFS among the groups: FLT3-ITD-negative without ACA, FLT3-ITD-positive without ACA, FLT3-ITD-negative with ACA, and FLT3-ITD-positive with ACA. The OS times were 52.917, 45.813, 25.375, and 23.417 months, and the PFS times were 48.833, 38.563, 23.250, and 17.333 months, respectively. Conclusion FLT3-ITD and ACA are associated with the poorest OS and PFS outcomes in patients with APL treated with chemotherapy plus ATRA.
On the global electrostatic charge of stars

As was discovered in the nineteen-twenties, a significant electric field exists in the solar corona as well as in the solar interior. This field is a consequence of the tendency of light electrons to segregate from heavier protons in the solar gravitational field. Since the principle is valid for a plasma in every star, the result can be generalized. The presented paper is intended to rehighlight this significant physical property of stars. In particular, we stress that there has to be charge Qr inside a stellar sphere with radius r, which is linearly proportional to mass Mr inside the sphere. Both quantities are related as Qr = 77.043Mr , if Qr is given in Coulombs and Mr in solar masses. The global stellar electrostatic field is 918 times stronger than the corresponding stellar gravity and compensates for a half of the gravity, when it acts on an electron or proton, respectively. The external electric field has to cause an occurence of electric current and appropriate magnetic field in a highly conductive plasma, when, e.g., the plasma is in a turbulent motion or spirals onto a star in a hot accretion disc.
Comparison of Variance Estimators of the Horvitz-Thompson Estimator for Randomized Variable Probability Systematic Sampling

Abstract The National Stream Survey (NSS) and Environmental Monitoring and Assessment Program (EMAP) use variable probability, systematic sampling, and the Horvitz-Thompson estimator to estimate population parameters of ecological interest. A common strategy of variance estimation for systematic sampling is to assume that the population order had been randomized prior to sampling and to estimate variance under this randomized population model. The Yates-Grundy variance estimator is generally recommended for estimating the variance of the Horvitz-Thompson estimator under this model. But design features of NSS and EMAP preclude application of the Yates-Grundy estimator, so use of the Horvitz-Thompson variance estimator is required. Further, because the first-order inclusion probabilities are known only for the sample units and not the entire population, neither the actual pairwise inclusion probabilities (πuv's) nor the Hartley-Rao approximation of the πuv's can be computed. Thus the variance estimator prop.
Teacher perceptions on the role of language assistants in bilingual physical education

The inclusion of Language Assistants as teaching support in different subjects has acquired a unique value up to the point of becoming a key element in different bilingual education programs such as that of the Community of Madrid. In this Community, this leading figure has acquired such relevance and presence that it is necessary to carry out studies to describe its impact on specific subjects like Physical Education as it is one of the most selected subjects to be taught in a foreign language within the bilingual program of this region. In this research, an ‘ad hoc’ questionnaire has been designed, validated and administered to 87 Physical Education specialists who carried out this subject in a foreign language and co-taught with Language Assistants in bilingual public schools during 2018-19 school year. Teachers recognized, among other things, poor knowledge of Language Assistants’ roles, linguistic support for teachers as their main role, the assistant’s lack of knowledge of Physical Education contents as the most restricting reason for their involvement in class, and a general view of scarce help in this subject. These results should draw teachers and administration attention requiring improvements not only in their employment in class but also in the process of hiring them to maximize their potential in this subject and justify the monetary effort.
Intra Uterine Insemination in Two Couples with HPV Detection by Hyaluronidase-Based Swim-up Washing: Cases Report

Human papillomavirus (HPV) infection is the most common sexually transmitted disease worldwide and is associated with negative reproductive outcomes because of which it is recommended to postpone medically assisted reproduction (MAR). This raises major concerns for elder infertile couples. We showed that a hyaluronidase-based sperm washing (IALu) procedure blunted the HPV viral load in semen. Here, were report two cases of couples with long-term idiopathic infertility, ascribed to persistent semen HPV detection, finding a beneficial outcome from the use of IALu protocol applied to intra-uterine insemination (IUI). Case 1: A Caucasian couple (female aged 32, male aged 35), complained of having been attempting pregnancy for 4 years. HPV-DNA (genotypes 51 and 54) was detected on sperms. After a first unsuccessful IUI cycle attempt, using standard swim-up selection of spermatozoa, a second IUI cycle using the IALu procedure was associated with a pregnancy and a successful trimester of gestation. Case 2: A Caucasian couple (female aged 43, male aged 52) complained of having been attempting pregnancy for 3 years and showed the detection of HPV-DNA (genotype 66) on sperms. After a first unsuccessful standard IUI cycle attempt, two further IUI cycles using IALu procedure were pursued. The last cycle was associated with a pregnancy and a successful trimester of gestation. Although preliminary, the IALu procedure is a promising approach for straightforward fertility treatments in cases of recurrent HPV-DNA semen detection, avoiding critical latencies.
Womens Participation and the Sustainability of Listed Commercial Banks in Nigeria

This study aimed at promoting gender equality in the corporate environment, hence, this study examined the participation of women in the leadership and workforce of listed commercial banks in Nigeria and how their participation in the business process of these organizations affects the business organization’s sustainability. The variables in this study were x-rayed through the theoretical lens of the glass ceiling theory and the critical mass theory. The study implored a quantitative research method, and an expost-facto research design was used. The study population consisted of the 12 listed commercial banks in Nigeria out of which a sample of the 7 listed commercial banks were purposively selected. Secondary data were obtained from the audited annual reports from the sample of 7 listed commercial banks used in this study which covered a time frame from 2010 to 2019. The data were analyzed using multiple regression model to examine the effect of the independent variables on the dependent variables. The result revealed that women participation in the activities of the listed commercial banks has a moderate positive effect on the profitability and asset growth of the listed commercial banks. In addition, the study further revealed that women’s participation leads to a significant increase in the profitability and asset growth of the listed commercial banks in Nigeria. In conclusion, it was deduced that the glass ceiling effect was valid in the case of the listed commercial banks in Nigeria. It is recommended that listed commercial banks in Nigeria develop and promote policies that support the participation of women in the business process.
The Catchiness of Code-Switching: Plurilingualism in Catchy (A Romanian Women’s E-Zine)

"The Catchiness of Code-Switching: Plurilingualism in Catchy (A Romanian Women’s E-Zine). This case study investigates code-switching as a salient feature of women’s online magazines. The corpus is made up of textual material posted on catchy.ro, self-proclaimed “the only premium-luxury-e-zine in Romania which privileges editorial content”. In the first instance, Daniela Hăisan will look into the plurilingualism which characterises the structure and site map of the online magazine, and then into the plurilingualism which singularises the (feature) articles as narratives about identity, filtered through subjective experiences of everyday life. Four major criteria are taken into account when analysing the corpus: visual embeddedness, preferred embedded language(s), types of code-switching (tag-switching, inter-sentential switching, and intra-sentential switching), and morphology of the embedded language. The main conclusions are that code-switching is used in order to make a statement about the writer’s identity while fostering a rapport with the target group of readers, and that it is less a sign of language decline as it is of a gradual movement towards informality. Keywords: code-switching, (women’s) e-zine, discourse analysis "
Triple X syndrome: Psychiatric disorders and impaired social functioning as a risk factor

Abstract Background Women with triple X syndrome (TXS) have an extra X chromosome. TXS appeared to be associated with psychiatric disorders in biased or underpowered studies. Aim This study aims to describe the prevalence of psychiatric disorders in adults with TXS in a relatively large and less biased group of participants. Method In this cross-sectional study, data were collected from 34 women with TXS (mean age = 32.9; s.d. = 13.1) and 31 controls (mean age = 34.9; s.d. = 13.7). Psychiatric disorders were assessed using the MINI International Neuropsychiatric Interview (MINI) and the adult behavior checklist (ABCL). Trait and state anxiety were assessed using the State–Trait Anxiety Inventory. Results In the TXS group, MINI results showed a higher prevalence of major depressive episodes (43.3%), psychotic disorders (29.4%), and suicidality (23.5%). Only 50% of the TXS group earned a normal score for the total syndrome score using the ABCL. In addition, levels of trait anxiety were higher in the TXS group. Only three women in each group received psychotropic medication. Impaired social functioning appeared to represent a major risk factor in TXS as regards psychotic, affective disorders, trait anxiety, and low self-esteem. Conclusions Women with TXS are vulnerable to developing psychiatric disorders, and women with both TXS and impaired social functioning are even more vulnerable.
Thermal Resistance Minimization of a Fin-and-Porous-Medium Heat Sink with Evolutionary Algorithms

This article presents a conceptual design of a heat sink combining a porous medium whose matrix is highly conductive and a fin. A simplified model is presented to estimate the performance of the system, relying on Darcy law and local thermal equilibrium. The objective is to minimize the hot-spot temperature under global mass constraint by using an optimization procedure based on genetic algorithms. The design variables are the porosity and material of each layer of the porous medium, the fin material, height, and width, the aspect ratio of the heat sink, and the shape of a weightless upper corner deflector which reduces the width of the inlet and outlet air slots while removing the less useful mass. Results show that the optimal porous layers were generally of copper, independent of the mass constraint. However, the fin is mostly beneficial for heavier designs, while the deflector becomes more important when lightness is required. These two special features show their efficiency by allowing a mass reduction of 95% with a decrease of only 24% in the cooling performance.
Lie-type higher derivations on operator algebras

Motivated by the intensive and powerful works concerning additive mappings of operator algebras, we mainly study Lie-type higher derivations on operator algebras in the current work. It is shown that every Lie (triple-)higher derivation on some classical operator algebras is of standard form. The definition of Lie n-higher derivations on operator algebras and related potential research topics are properly-posed at the end of this article.
Does the oxygen-sodium anticorrelation in globular clusters require a lowering of the $\mathsf{^{23}}$Na(p,$\mathsf{\alpha)^{20}}$Ne reaction rate?

Context. The chemical content of the ejecta of Asymptotic Giant Branch stars (AGBs) is important to understand whether intermediate mass stars played a role in the “self-enrichment scenario”, to explain the chemical anomalies observed among Globular Clusters stars. One difficulty of this model is that it is not fully consistent with the observed oxygen-sodium anticorrelation. Aims. We look for the combinations of the input-physics parameters by which the yields of massive AGBs are sodium-rich and oxygen-poor. Methods. Many evolutions from the early evolutionary phases until the mass of the envelope drops below ~$0.5~M_{\odot}$ are calculated for a $5~M_{\odot}$ $Z=0.001$ model for various assumptions concerning the extra mixing from the bottom of the envelope and the relevant cross sections involving sodium. Results. A modest amount of extra mixing from the bottom of the surface convective zone leads to ejecta that are moderately sodium rich and oxygen depleted. A different but appealing modelization allows us to reproduce the observations of stars with a lower oxygen content: extra mixing is not included, but the cross sections of the reaction 23 Na$(p, \alpha)$ 20 Ne must be a factor of ~4 lower than the recommended values. If the initial neon content of the star is not solar-scaled but enhanced as the other α elements by a factor ~2, the afore mentioned cross section must be lessened by only a factor ~2.
On the uniform decay for the Korteweg–de Vries equation with weak damping

The aim of this work is to consider the Korteweg–de Vries equation in a finite interval with a very weak localized dissipation namely the H−1‐norm. Our main result says that the total energy decays locally uniform at an exponential rate. Our analysis improves earlier works on the subject (Q. Appl. Math. 2002; LX(1):111–129; ESAIM Control Optim. Calculus Variations 2005; 11(3):473–486) and gives a satisfactory answer to a problem suggested in (Q. Appl. Math. 2002; LX(1):111–129). Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
