ALMA observations of 99 GHz free–free and H40α line emission from star formation in the centre of NGC 253

We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array observations of 99.02 GHz free-free and H40? emission from the centre of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253. We calculate electron temperatures of 3700-4500 K for the photoionized gas, which agrees with previous measurements. We measure a photoionizing photon production rate of (3.2 � 0.2) � 1053 s-1 and a star formation rate of 1.73 � 0.12 M? yr-1 within the central 20 � 10 arcsec, which fall within the broad range of measurements from previous millimetre and radio observations but which are better constrained. We also demonstrate that the dust opacities are ? 3 dex higher than inferred from previous near-infrared data, which illustrates the benefits of using millimetre star formation tracers in very dusty sources.
Comment on "Observability of the Neutrino Charge Radius"

In Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 101802 (2002); erratum, ibid. 89, 229902(E) (2002), Bernabeu, Papavassiliou, and Vidal claim that they can extract a gauge-independent neutrino charge radius (NCR) which is, therefore, a physical observable. We show here that this claim is incorrect by demonstrating that the NCR is, in general, gauge-dependent.

Post-merger evolution of carbon-oxygen + helium white dwarf binaries and the origin of R Coronae Borealis and extreme helium stars

Orbital decay by gravitational-wave radiation will cause some close-binary white dwarfs (WDs) to merge within a Hubble time. The results from previous hydrodynamical WD-merger simulations have been used to guide calculations of the post-merger evolution of carbon-oxygen + helium (CO+He) WD binaries. Our models include the formation of a hot corona in addition to a Keplerian disc. We introduce a 'destroyed-disc' model to simulate the effect of direct disc ingestion into the expanding envelope. These calculations indicate significant lifetimes in the domain of the rare R Coronae Borealis (RCB) stars, before a fast evolution through the domain of the hotter extreme helium (EHe) stars. Surface chemistries of the resulting giants are in partial agreement with the observed abundances of RCB and EHe stars. The production of He-3, O-18 and F-19 are discussed. Evolutionary time-scales combined with binary WD merger rates from binary-star population synthesis are consistent with present-day numbers of RCBs and EHes, provided that the majority come from relatively recent ( = 0.40 M-circle dot) was required to match the carbon-rich abundances of RCB stars, the 'destroyed-disc' model yields a high-carbon product with He-WD mass >= 0.30 M-circle dot, in better agreement with population synthesis results.
Structure And Biological Functions Of Milk Caseins

Caseins, which are contained in milk, play a significant role in the development of clinical symptoms of allergic reactions in adults and children. To date, the properties of caseins have been studied, their primary structure has been identified. However, despite available scientific reviews and original articles, an issue of the structural organization of milk casein micelles and their biological functions is still very controversial. In this regard, the proposed review is relevant, since it most fully reflects current information about various types of caseins, their physicochemical and immunobiological properties, and analyzes in detail the existing theories on the structural organization of casein micelles. Of particular interest in our review are the data on the comparative analysis of the structure and properties of caseins in both human breast milk and cow’s milk, as well as the section dealing with the allergenic activity of cow’s milk caseins and their cross-reactivity with milk proteins of other mammalian species. The objective of this review is to summarize current data on the structure and properties of casein proteins, and to determine their role in the formation of sensitization to dairy products.
Comeback of epitaxial graphene for electronics: large-area growth of bilayer-free graphene on SiC

We present a new fabrication method for epitaxial graphene on SiC which enables the growth of ultra-smooth defect- and bilayer-free graphene sheets with an unprecedented reproducibility, a necessary prerequisite for wafer-scale fabrication of high quality graphene-based electronic devices. The inherent but unfavorable formation of high SiC surface terrace steps during high temperature sublimation growth is suppressed by rapid formation of the graphene buffer layer which stabilizes the SiC surface. The enhanced nucleation is enforced by decomposition of deposited polymer adsorbate which acts as a carbon source. Unique to this method are the conservation of mainly 0.25 and 0.5 nm high surface steps and the formation of bilayer-free graphene on an area only limited by the size of the sample. This makes the polymer-assisted sublimation growth technique a promising method for commercial wafer scale epitaxial graphene fabrication. The extraordinary electronic quality is evidenced by quantum resistance metrology at 4.2 K showing ultra-high precision and high electron mobility on mm scale devices comparable to state-of-the-art graphene.
The pulsation of AGB stars in the Magellanic Cloud clusters NGC 1978 and 419

The intermediate-age Magellanic Cloud clusters NGC 1978 and 419 are each found to contain substantial numbers of pulsating asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars, both oxygen rich and carbon rich. Each cluster also contains two pulsating AGB stars which are infrared sources with a large mass-loss rate. Pulsation masses have been derived for the AGB variables, from the lowest luminosity O-rich variables to the most evolved infrared sources. It is found that the stars in NGC 1978 have a mass of 1.55 M ⊙ early on the AGB while the NGC 419 stars have a mass of 1.87 M ⊙ early on the AGB. These masses are in good agreement with those expected from the cluster ages determined by main-sequence turn-off fitting. Non-linear pulsation models fitted to the highly evolved AGB stars show that a substantial amount of mass-loss has occurred during the AGB evolution of these stars. An examination of the observed mass-loss on the AGB, and the AGB tip luminosities, shows that in both clusters the mass-loss rates computed from the formula of Vassiliadis & Wood reproduce the observations reasonably well. The mass-loss rates computed from the formula of Blocker terminate the AGB in both clusters at a luminosity which is much too low.
Softened potentials and the multipolar expansion

When the gravitational potential is developed in a multipolar series, each multipole is well defined and corresponds to a finite sum of terms in the series. In order to use the gravitational potential in numerical simulations, however, a multipolar expansion is usually applied to a softened Newtonian potential. It turns out that the commonly used multipolar expansion in this case no longer isolates each multipole as in the former case; instead, each multipole is spilled over an infinity of terms. In this paper we show how to recover the complete multipoles. Fortunately, the overall effect of using incomplete multipoles instead of complete ones turns out to be negligible in the cases of interest, for example, in its use in tree codes.
Subtleties of the minmax selector

In this note, we show that the minmax and maxmin critical values of a function quadratic nondegenerate at infinity are equal when defined in homology or cohomology with coefficients in a field. However, by an example of F.Laudenbach, this is not always true for coefficients in a ring and, even in the case of a field, the minmax-maxmin depends on the field.
Vibrio Septicemia Diagnosed With Next-Generation Sequencing: A Case Report

Abstract Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus are marine gram-negative bacilli that can cause septicemia and gastrointestinal and wound infections. Early suspicion, diagnosis and appropriate antibiotic therapy for those infections are essential as delay can adversely affect the outcome. Here, we report a patient who developed a V. vulnificus and V. parahaemolyticus infection after contact with a fishing net. The cause of infection was finally diagnosed by metagenomic next-generation sequencing. The patient required an emergency amputation of the upper- and middle-third of the right upper limb.
Predation and epibiosis on egg capsules of the Shorttail fanskate, Sympterygia brevicaudata

After deposition, chondrichthyan egg capsules are frequently exposed to numerous threats that affect their survival. However, the ecological factors affecting the development and survival of embryos inside egg capsules remain unclear. The aims of this study was to quantify and describe two ecological factors that affect of the Shorttail fanskate Sympterygia brevicaudata egg capsules: predation and epibiosis. The egg capsules were collected (241) stranded from Coquimbo Bay's intertidal zone in northern Chile (29°57’S; 71°18’W and 71°19’W), and examined predation marks and epibiosis of these egg capsules at different stages of development. About 32.8% of the egg capsules presented evidence of predation marks, of which 48.1% had not yet hatched. Based on our findings, the shape and size of predation marks were different from those reported in the literature. Additionally, 78% of the egg capsules presented epibiosis, of which 21% had not yet hatched. Non-hatched egg capsules with more advanced stages of development (i.e., possessing open respiratory fissures) showed a higher probability to be predated and present epibiosis than those with earlier development (closed respiratory fissures). Ecological interactions, such as predation and the settlement of epibionts, may influence demographic aspects such as hatching success and survival rate, regulating the population sizes of S. brevicaudata during the embryonic phase.
Comparing the behavior of orbits in different 3D dynamical models for elliptical galaxies

We study the behavior of orbits in two different galactic dynamical models, describing the motion in the central parts of a triaxial elliptical galaxy with a dense nucleus. Numerical experiments show that both models display regular motion together with extended chaotic regions. A detailed investigation of the properties of motion is made for the 2D and 3D Hamiltonian systems, using a number of different dynamical parameters, such as the Poincaré surface of a section, the maximal Lyapunov Characteristic Exponent, the S(c) spectrum, the S(w) spectrum and the P(f) indicator. The numerical calculations suggest that the properties of motion in both potentials are very similar. Our results show that one may use different kinds of gravitational potentials in order to describe the motion in triaxial galaxies while obtaining quantitatively similar results.
Love the star, love the team? The spillover effect of athlete sub brand to team brand advocacy in online brand communities

Purpose This paper aims to examine the antecedents of brand passion and brand community commitment, namely, self-congruity and athlete attraction, as well as their effects on online brand advocacy in online brand communities. Design/methodology/approach The sample comprises members of a Facebook football fan club brand community. An online survey measuring athlete-level factors, team-level factors and online brand advocacy provides data to test the conceptual framework using structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS-SEM). Findings The findings of this paper support the positive spillover effect from athlete subbrand to team brand advocacy, as self-congruity exerted positive effects on brand passion and brand community commitment, while athlete attraction influenced brand community commitment, leading to online brand advocacy. Research limitations/implications The findings validate the dimensions of online brand advocacy and advance research on sports brand hierarchy in brand architecture by establishing the transference effect from athlete to the team brand. Practical implications To effectively manage their brands online, brand managers need to pay attention to the powerful and multifaceted tool of online brand advocacy. Brand managers can capitalize on their active advocates by working closely with them to co-create uplifting and authentic brand stories that are worthwhile for sharing, especially in times of crisis. Originality/value Building on the developmental trajectory of brand love and vicarious brand experience, the findings verify the directionality of the spillover effect and offer insights into the development of brand advocacy across different brand levels.
Effect of Real-Time Carbon Dioxide Sensing Stylet Assisted Endotracheal Intubation: A Pilot Study Using the Porcine Model

Introduction: Safe and prompt endotracheal intubation is crucial to prevent morbidity and mortality in patients requiring airway management. The aim of this pilot study was to test the effect of real-time carbon dioxide (CO2) sensing stylet assisted intubation compared with conventional intubation in porcine experiment. Methods: Thirty-four swine were assigned to either the intervention or control group in a 1:1 ratio. Real-time CO2 sensing stylet was manually manufactured and used for assisting intubation in the intervention group. Conventional intubation using direct laryngoscopy was performed in the control group. The primary outcome was total procedure time and the secondary outcome was first attempt success rate. Cumulative hazard curves were obtained by analyzing the total procedure time to successful intubation for each swine, and the log-rank test was used to compare between the two groups. Results: Compared to the control group, a trend of shorter total procedure time was observed in the intervention group (mean ± standard deviation, 59.8 ± 34.6 s vs. 92.2 ± 68.2 s; p-value = 0.09). The cumulative hazard plot showed a consistent trend of shorter total procedure time in the intervention group compared to the control group (p-value = 0.16). The first attempt success rate showed a higher trend (70.6% vs. 52.9%; p-value = 0.29) in the intervention group. Conclusion: The real-time CO2 sensing stylet assisted endotracheal intubation has potential to reduce the time to successful intubation and improve first attempt success rate.
Stochastic processes in light-assisted nanoparticle formation

Recently, light-assisted nanofabrication have been introduced, such as the synthesis of quantum dots using photo-induced desorption that yields reduced size fluctuations, or metal sputtering under light illumination resulting in self-organized, nanoparticle chains. The physical mechanisms have originally been attributed to material desorption or plasmon resonance effects. However, significant stochastic phenomena are also present that have not been explained yet. We introduce stochastic models taking account of the light-assisted processes that reproduce phenomenological characteristics consistent with the experimental observations.
Scaling theory of thermal rounding phenomena in depinning and related transitions

We present a scaling theory for the effect of thermal fluctuations on the characteristics of the depinning transition, and also in the closely related directed percolation model. Thermal effects act as a sort of external field that produces a rounding of the sharp transition occurring at zero temperature. The theory allows to predict the value of the thermal rounding exponent that quantifies the rounding effect. It also gives insight into the spatial and temporal correlations between thermally activated events, which are highly non-trivial.

Acces control system using face image

Ensuring safety requires the use of access control systems. Traditional systems typically use proximity cards. Modern systems use biometrics to identify the user. Use of biological characteristics to identify ensures a high degree of safety. In addition, the biological characteristics can neither be lost or stolen. This paper presents proposals for the access control system using the face image. The system operates in real timeusing the camera image.
MeV dark matter in the 3+1+1 model

The existence of light sterile neutrinos in the eV mass range with relatively large mixing angles with the active neutrinos has been proposed for a variety of reasons, including to improve the fit to the LSND and MiniBooNE neutrino oscillation experiments, and reactor disappearance experiments. In ref. Phys. Rev. D 84, 053001 (2011), it was shown that neutrino mixing with a heavier sterile neutrino, in the mass range between 33 eV and several GeV, could significantly affect and improve the agreement between neutrino oscillation models with light sterile neutrinos and short baseline experimental results, allowing for a new source of CP violation in appearance experiments and for different apparent mixing angles in appearance and disappearance experiments. However in refs. Phys. Rev. D 86, 033015 (2012) and JHEP 1204, 083 (2012) it was shown that various collider experiment, supernovae, and cosmological constraints can eliminate most of the parameter region where such a heavy sterile neutrino can have a significant effect on neutrino oscillations. In this paper we consider the effects of allowing a new light scalar in the MeV mass region, which is a potential dark matter candidate, to interact with the sterile neutrinos, and show that the resulting model is a consistent theory of neutrino oscillation anomalies and dark matter which can also potentially explain the INTEGRAL excess of 511 keV gamma rays in the central region of the galaxy.
Bulk viscosity of spin-one color superconducting strange quark matter

The bulk viscosity in spin-one color superconducting strange quark matter is calculated by taking into account the interplay between the nonleptonic and semileptonic week processes. In agreement with previous studies, it is found that the inclusion of the semileptonic processes may result in non-negligible corrections to the bulk viscosity in a narrow window of temperatures. The effect is generally more pronounced for pulsars with longer periods. Compared to the normal phase, however, this effect due to the semileptonic processes is less pronounced in spin-one color superconductors. Assuming that the critical temperature of the phase transition is much larger than 40 keV, the main effect of spin-one color superconductivity in a wide range of temperatures is an overall increase of the bulk viscosity with respect to the normal phase. The corresponding enhancement factor reaches up to about 9 in the polar and A phases, about 25 in the planar phase, and about 29 in the color-spin-locked (CSL) phase. This factor is determined by the suppression of the nonleptonic rate in color superconducting matter and, therefore, may be even larger if all quark quasiparticles happen to be gapped.

A Case of Vesicular Mycosis Fungoides

A 44-year-old male presented with 7 months history of nonpruritic round oozing plaques on the extremities and red papules on the trunk. The lesions were resistant to topical and oral steroid prescribed at the other local clinics. Histopathological examination showed parakeratosis with acanthosis and rete ridge elongation as well as spongiotic intraepidermal blisters and dense dermal infiltration of small to medium sized atypical lymphoid cells. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed the lymphocyte infiltrate to be predominantly CD4+ T cells, with CD4/CD8 ratio to be greater than 10:1. Infiltration of large cells that were CD30+ were also noted. This histopathologic findings are consistent with vesicular mycosis fungoides (MF). He was prescribed with narrow-band ultraviolet B twice per week and topical steroid, combined with interferon-α injection for 5 weeks, and his skin lesions significantly faded and were flattened. Vesicular MF is associated with poor prognosis, but our patient was able to show benign course of disease thanks to timely diagnosis. One must consider vesicular MF as a differential for recalcitrant eczematous lesions.
Ferric oxide nanoparticles administration suppresses isoniazid induced oxidative stress in the rat brain tissue

Isoniazid is one of the anti-tuberculosis therapeutic agents capable of causing side effects such as oxi dative stress, brain tissue damage and mental disorders. This study aimed to investigate the effect of ferric oxide (Fe 2 o 3 ) nanoparticles administration on isoniazid-induced oxidative stress parameters in rat brain tissue. Forty adult male Wistar rats (200–250 g) were randomly divided into a group with no treatment as control and four experimental groups. Animals of experimental groups received intraperitoneally for 12 days daily saline, 50 mg/kg of isoniazid, 50 mg/kg of isoniazid and 0.2 or 0.4 mg/kg Fe 2 o 3 nanoparticles accordingly. The activity of catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione-S-transferase (GST), the level of glutathione (gSH), malondialdehyde (mda) and total protein were determined in brain tissue homogenates by spectrophotometric methods. It was shown that Cat and gSt activities, as well as gSH and mda levels in the brain tissue of animals in the isoniazid-treated group were increased compared with the control untreated group, while following the treatment with 0.2 or 0.4 mg/kg Fe 2 o 3 nanoparticles the studied oxidative stress parameters returned to the control level (P < 0.05). No changes in Sod activity in any of the treated groups were observed compared to the control. This study showed that the administration of ferric oxide nanoparti cles can suppress isoniazid-induced oxidative stress in the brain tissue of rats mentally damaged by isoniazid.
