A HYPER SUPRIME-CAM VIEW OF THE INTERACTING GALAXIES OF THE M81 GROUP

We present the first results of a wide-field mapping survey of the M81 group conducted with Hyper Suprime-Cam on the Subaru Telescope. Our deep photometry reaches ∼2 mag below the tip of the red giant branch (RGB) and reveals the spatial distribution of both old and young stars over an area of ∼ 100 × 115 ? > kpc at the distance of M81. The young stars (∼30–160 Myr old) closely follow the neutral hydrogen distribution and can be found in a stellar stream between M81 and NGC 3077 and in numerous outlying stellar associations, including the known concentrations of Arp's Loop, Holmberg IX, an arc in the halo of M82, BK3N, and the Garland. Many of these groupings do not have counterparts in the RGB maps, suggesting they may be genuinely young systems. Our survey also reveals for the first time the very extended ( ≥ 2 × R 25 ? > ) halos of RGB stars around M81, M82, and NGC 3077, as well as faint tidal streams that link these systems. The halos of M82 and NGC 3077 exhibit highly disturbed morphologies, presumably a consequence of the recent gravitational encounter and their ongoing disruption. While the halos of M81 and NGC 3077 and the inner halo of M82 have similar ( g - i ) 0 ? > colors, the outer halo of M82 is significantly bluer indicating it is more metal poor. Remarkably, our deep panoramic view of the M81 group demonstrates that the complexity long known to be present in HI is equally matched in the low surface brightness stellar component.
Invited review: Aspects of gastrointestinal tract growth and maturation in the pre- and postweaning period of pigs

The growth and development of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) of the young pig, both before and after parturition, is critical for the ani-mal’s future growth and development, efficiency of feed conversion to body depots, and, ultimately, its survival. The perinatal development of the GIT encompasses a prenatal phase, a neonatal phase, and the postweaning phase, which is associated with the adaptation of the GIT to utilize solid feed after the piglet is weaned. The consumption of colostrum, initially, and then milk after birth provides nutrients and compounds for piglets that are critically important as stimuli and substrates to the GIT that in turn evoke a suite of anatomical, immunological, biochemical, physiological, and regulatory processes that advance the overall maturity of the GIT. However, at weaning the combined influence of the various stressors imposed causes a hiatus in the growth and development of the GIT, such that the newly weaned pig endures a “growth check” while exposing it to a greater disease and health risk. Low and variable feed intake is a major outcome of the weaning process, but nevertheless, there are numerous nutritional/manage-ment interventions producers can implement in an attempt to overcome this major issue. This review summarizes some major aspects of, and influences on, GIT growth, development, and maturation in the pre- and postweaning period of pigs, demonstrating that postnatal influences occur in utero and that evolution of the GIT continues to occur after weaning.
A Privacy Awareness System for Facebook Users

Social networking sites have experienced a steady and dramatic increase in the number of users over the past several years. Thousands of user accounts, each including a significant amount of private data, are created daily. As such, an almost countless amount of sensitive and private information is read and shared across the various accounts. This jeopardizes the privacy and safety of many social network users and mandates the need to increase the users' awareness about the potential hazards they are exposed to on these sites. We introduce Protect_ U, a privacy protection system for Facebook users. Protect_ U analyzes the content of user profiles and ranks them according to four risk levels: Low Risk, Medium Risk, Risky and Critical. The system then suggests personalized recommendations designed to allow users to increase the safety of their accounts. In order to achieve this, Protect_ U draws upon both the local and community-based protection models. The first model uses a Face book user's personal data in order to suggest recommendations, and the second seeks out the user's most trustworthy friends to encourage them to help improve the safety of his/her account.
BIO-PROCESSING OF INDIAN COALS BY MICRO- ORGANISMS : AN INVESTIGATION

Cultures of filamentous fungi, Aspergillus niger and Penicillium spp, developed for bio leaching of subbituminous coal in modified Czepek Dox medium with low sucrose. The changes in the mineral matter composition of the coal sample were evaluated using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with Energy Dispersive Spectrograph (EDS). The coal sample leached with A. niger decreased the ash content from 12.87 wt% to 0.55 wt% by mainly removing Al and Si containing minerals. Leaching with Penicillium sp. decreased the ash content to 3.05 wt% and with mixed culture, ash content was reduced to 1.21 wt%. Calorific value of the coal samples showed an increase of 27% following A. niger leaching. The High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed the production of various low molecular weight organic acids mainly acetic acid, citric acid and gluconic acid during bioleaching which leads to lowering of pH of the media and hence removal of silicate and aluminum minerals.

Fe I and Fe II Abundances of Solar-Type Dwarfs in the Pleiades Open Cluster

We have derived Fe abundances of 16 solar-type Pleiades dwarfs by means of an equivalent-width analysis of Fe I and Fe II lines in high-resolution spectra obtained with the Hobby-Eberly Telescope and High Resolution Spectrograph. Abundances derived from Fe II lines are larger than those derived from Fe I lines (herein referred to as overionization) for stars with Teff < 5400 K, and the discrepancy (ΔFe = [Fe II/H]-[Fe I/H]) increases dramatically with decreasing Teff, reaching over 0.8 dex for the coolest stars of our sample. The Pleiades joins the open clusters M 34, the Hyades, IC 2602, and IC 2391, and the Ursa Major moving group, demonstrating ostensible overionization trends. The Pleiades ΔFe abundances are correlated with Ca II infrared triplet and Hα chromospheric emission indicators and relative differences therein. Oxygen abundances of our Pleiades sample derived from the high-excitation O I triplet have been previously shown to increase with decreasing Teff, and a comparison with the ΔFe abundances suggests that the overexcitation (larger abundances derived from high-excitation lines relative to low-excitation lines) and overionization effects that have been observed in cool open cluster and disk field main-sequence (MS) dwarfs share a common origin. Curiously, a correlation between the Pleiades O I abundances and chromospheric emission indicators does not exist. Star-to-star Fe I abundances have low internal scatter (< 0.11 dex), but the abundances of stars with Teff < 5400 K are systematically higher compared to the warmer stars. The cool star [Fe I/H] abundances cannot be connected directly to overexcitation effects, but similarities with the ΔFe and O I triplet trends suggest the abundances are dubious. Using the [Fe I/H] abundances of five stars with Teff > 5400 K, we derive a mean Pleiades cluster metallicity of [Fe/H] = +0.01 ± 0.02.
Estimation of aerosol optical depth over Dehradun (India) using simple model for atmospheric radiative transfer in multiple scattering approximation

Abstract. Aerosol optical depth retrieval over land surface using remote sensing employs the use of radiative transfer simulations and/or simultaneous measurements of atmospheric parameters at the time of satellite pass. Also, an accurate estimate of land surface parameters is also required in order to separate the atmospheric component from the land surface reflectance reaching at-sensor. In addition to empirical and semi-empirical approaches, amongst the most widely used methods to retrieve the aerosol properties from satellite measurements are radiative transfer codes used in either forward or inverse modes. As most of them are computationally complex, henceforth, efforts are made to formulate approximate models. In this study, we have tried to estimate aerosol optical depth using one such established physically based model, namely, SMART (Simple Model for Atmospheric Radiative Transfer) code in multiple scattering approximation for aerosols over first band (0.52–0.59 μm) of RESOURCESAT-AWiFS sensor. The aim of the analysis was to find out an approach to decouple aerosol effects from Top of atmosphere signals recorded by AWiFS sensor using multiple scattering approximations for aerosols. The model is first calibrated for aerosol asymmetry parameter for one dataset each of summer and winter seasons respectively and subsequently validated for 4 different datasets (2 summer and 2 winter) against the MODIS atmosphere product for aerosol optical depth. The results show that the difference between simulated vs. MODIS AOD fall within MODIS expected errors for the aerosol product.
Inflation and Money supply growth in Iran: Empirical Evidences from Cointegration and Causality

nflation has been one of the main economic problems over the last three decades in Iran. This paper investigates the growth of money supply (in terms of M1 and M2) and price nexus for Iran, through the cointegration and causality techniques. The main purpose of this paper is to determine whether inflation in Iran has been caused by excessive monetary expansion over this period, or whether the money supply has merely been passive in the inflationary process. It covers the seasonal data from 1988 to 2010. The Johansen cointegration test results suggest that the variables are not cointegrated. The findings also indicate that there is a bidirectional relationship between money supply (in terms of M1 and M2) and price level (in terms of CPI and WPI) during the period under study. These findings are consistent with the view that in a high inflationary economy, inflation does have a feedback effect on money supply growth and this generates a self-sustaining inflationary process.
Effect of silica fume and solid borax waste on compressive strength of fired briquettes

DOI: 10.7764/RDLC.16. 2.355 It is a well-known fact that industrial solid wastes which are commonly employed in construction sector make a significant contribution in reduction of environmental pollution. In this study, solid borax waste and silica fume were used as additive materials. In the briquette compositions, 3, 5 and 10% proportions of solid borax waste and 2, 5 and 10% proportions of silica fume were used in mixtures. In order to determine material characterization, micro structure (SEM) analyses of solid borax waste and silica fume were performed besides of physical and mechanical tests. Moreover, DTG analyses were implemented to specify material’s behavior under high temperature loads. According to the test results, the values of maximum compressive strength and minimum bulk density were obtained using mixtures with proportions of 2% silica fume and 10% solid borax waste. Additionally, it was determined that the briquette having low density and high compressive strength could be produced using aforementioned all mixtures.
SLOVENIAN NATIONAL SURVEY OF SEXUAL LIFESTYLES, ATTITUDES AND HEALTH: PREPARATORY WORK AND FEASIBILITY STUDY SLOVENSKA NACIONALNA PRE^NA RAZISKAVA SPOLNEGA VEDENJA, STALI(^ IN ZDRAVJA: PRIPRAVE IN PILOTSKA RAZISKAVA

Introduction: A national survey of sexual lifestyles, attitudes and health in Slovene men and women aged 18 to 49 years was conducted. This paper reports on the preparatory work and feasibility study. Methods: The feasibility study used a stratified two-stage probability design for the selection of the sample from the Central Population Registry. Data were collected between 1996 and 1997. A combination of face-to-face interviews and anonymously self-administered questionnaires was used. Results: The overall response rate was 77.4 %. Two percent of respondents reported having had ten or more heterosexual partners during the five years preceding the interview, and 14 % during their lifetime. Slightly more then 2 % of male respondents reported having ever paid a woman for sex, and less than 0.5 % admitted to having had homosexual sex during the past five years. The problem identified in the performance of the self-administered questionnaire was that many respondents omitted their current steady partner from the total count of partners for different periods. Conclusions: The high overall response rate indicated that good acceptability could be expected for the main survey. The self-administered questionnaire was divided into four booklets in order to provide opportunity for a brief
Nutrient Digestibility of the Waste of Saccharification Process From Cassava Bagasse on the Laying Hens

The objective of this research was to study the nutrient digestibility and the metabolizable energyvalue of the waste of saccharification process from cassava bagasse (WSPCB) on the laying hens.Twenty ISA-Brown laying hens at the age of 72 weeks were randomly distributed into three feedingtreatments which consisted of cassava bagase (CB), WSPCB of solid state fermentation method(WSPCB-SSF), and WSPCB of sub merged fermentation method (WSPCB-SmF). All of the hens werefasted for 24 hours and 15 of them were fed with CB, WSPCB-SSF and WSPCB-SmF (five hens foreach test-diet). The other five hens were still fasted. Then, all of the hens were fasted again and theirexcreta were collected during 48 hours. The nutrient digestibilities which were measured consisted ofthe Apparent and True Digestibility of Dry matter (ADDM and TDDM), Crude Fiber (ADCF andTDCF), Starch (ADS and TDS), and the Apparent and True Metabolizable Energy (AME and TME). The result of this research showed that the saccharification process generated the solid waste with thenutrient digestibility value (ADDM, TDDM, ADS, TDS, AME, and TME) which were significantlylower (P<0.05) than those of CB. The crude fiber digestibility value of the WSPCB has an opositephenomenon in which the ADCF and TDCF of WSPCB-SmF were greater than CB. In conclusion, thenutrient digestibility value, except for ADCF and TDCF, of the WSPCB on the laying hens were lowerin value than those CB.
Non-Adherence to Anti-TB Drugs and Its Predictors among TB/HIV Co-Infected Patients in Mekelle, Ethiopia

Abstract Background: Non-adherence to tuberculosis (TB) treatment in TB/human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) coinfected patients greatly affect treatment outcome. It can lead to an increased risk of drug resistance which is difficult to treat and contribute to increased mortality. Therefore, this study was aimed to determine the prevalence and factors associated with non-adherence to anti-TB drugs among TB/HIV co-infected patients in Mekelle, Ethiopia. Methods: A health institution based cross-sectional study was conducted in Mekelle from March to April 2013. Consecutive sampling was used to select respondents. Data were collected with the help of a structured questionnaire and analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20.0 software. Results: The prevalence of non-adherence to anti-TB medications among TB/HIV co-infected patients was 55.8% in a 5-day period prior to the interview. From logistic regression models, patients who had no caregivers (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR)=3.73, 95% CI=1.15-12.11) and people to remind them to take their medications (AOR=11.15, 95% CI=1.66-74.91) were more likely to be non-adherent. The major reasons cited for missing medicines were forgetting to take medications, felt sick when take the medications and far away from health facilities. Conclusions: The prevalence of non-adherence was high. TB/HIV co-infected patients should be targeted with interventions to improve medication adherence, particularly by supporting them to continue their treatment.
MINIMALITY AND MUTATION-EQUIVALENCE OF POLYGONS

We introduce a concept of minimality for Fano polygons. We show that, up to mutation, there are only finitely many Fano polygons with given singularity content, and give an algorithm to determine representatives for all mutation-equivalence classes of such polygons. This is a key step in a program to classify orbifold del Pezzo surfaces using mirror symmetry. As an application, we classify all Fano polygons such that the corresponding toric surface is qG-deformation-equivalent to either (i) a smooth surface; or (ii) a surface with only singularities of type $1/3(1,1)$ .
Effects of stratosphere-troposphere chemistry coupling on tropospheric ozone

[1] A new, computationally efficient coupled stratosphere‐troposphere chemistry‐climate model (S/T‐CCM) has been developed based on three well‐documented components: a6 4 ‐level general circulation model from the UK Met Office Unified Model, the tropospheric chemistry transport model (STOCHEM), and the UMSLIMCAT stratospheric chemistry module. This newly developed S/T‐CCM has been evaluated with various observations, and it shows good performance in simulating important chemical species and their interdependence in both the troposphere and stratosphere. The modeled total column ozone agrees well with Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer observations. Modeled ozone profiles in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere are significantly improved compared to runs with the stratospheric chemistry and tropospheric chemistry models alone, and they are in good agreement with Michelson Interferometer for Passive Atmospheric Sounding satellite ozone profiles. The observed CO tape recorder is also successfully captured by the new CCM, and ozone‐CO correlations are in accordance with Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment observations. However, because of limitations in vertical resolution, intrusion of CO‐rich air in the stratosphere from the mesosphere could not be simulated in the current version of S/T‐CCM. Additionally, the simulated stratosphere‐to‐troposphere ozone flux, which controls upper tropospheric OH and O3 concentrations, is found to be more realistic in the new coupled model compared to STOCHEM.

Heat transport and pressure buildup during carbon dioxide injection into depleted gas reservoirs

Abstract In this article, a two-layer vertical equilibrium model for the injection of carbon dioxide into a low-pressure porous reservoir containing methane and water is developed. The dependent variables solved for include pressure, temperature and $\def \xmlpi #1{}\def \mathsfbi #1{\boldsymbol {\mathsf {#1}}}\let \le =\leqslant \let \leq =\leqslant \let \ge =\geqslant \let \geq =\geqslant \def \Pr {\mathit {Pr}}\def \Fr {\mathit {Fr}}\def \Rey {\mathit {Re}}{\mathrm{CO}}_2$ – ${\mathrm{CH}}_4$ interface height. In contrast to previous two-layer vertical equilibrium models in this context, the compressibility of all material components is fully accounted for. Non-Darcy effects are also considered using the Forchheimer equation. The results show that, for a given injection scenario, as the initial pressure in the reservoir decreases, both the pressure buildup and temperature change increase. A comparison was conducted between a fully coupled non-isothermal numerical model and a simplified model where fluid properties are held constant with temperature. This simplified model was found to provide an excellent approximation when using the injection fluid temperature for calculating fluid properties, even when the injection fluid was as much as $\pm 15\, ^\circ \mathrm{C}$ of the initial reservoir temperature. The implications are that isothermal models can be expected to provide useful estimates of pressure buildup in this context. Despite the low viscosity of ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ at the low pressures studied, non-Darcy effects were found to be of negligible concern throughout the sensitivity analysis undertaken. This is because the ${\mathrm{CO}}_2$ density is also low in this context. Based on these findings, simplified analytic solutions are derived, which accurately calculate both the pressure buildup and temperature decline during the injection period.
Using Tilt Sensor and Digital Compass in Auto-calibration Handheld Projector

In integrated circuits having copper interconnect and low-k interlayer dielectrics, a problem of open circuits after heat treatment was discovered and solved by the use of a first liner layer of Ti, followed by a conformal liner layer of CVD TiN, followed in turn by a final liner layer of Ta or TaN, thus improving adhesion between the via and the underlying copper layer while reducing the increase in resistance caused by alloying between the Ti and the Copper to an acceptable amount.
Boundary renormalization group flows in coset conformal field theories

We propose a new rule for boundary renormalization group flows in fixed-point free coset models. Our proposal generalizes the ``absorption of boundary spin'' principle formulated by Affleck and Ludwig to a large class of perturbations in boundary conformal field theories. We illustrate the rule in the case of unitary minimal models.
