Layanan dan data teknologi Cloud Computing tersimpan pada server, hal ini menjadikan faktor pentingnya server sebagai pendukung ketersediaan layanan. Semakin banyak pengguna yang mengakses layanan tersebut akan mengakibatkan beban kinerja mesin server menjadi lebih berat dan kurang optimal, karena layanan harus bekerja menyediakan data terus-menerus yang dapat diakses kapanpun oleh penggunanya melalui jaringan terkoneksi. Perangkat keras server memiliki masa performa kinerja. Hal serupa dengan perangkat lunak yang dapat mengalami crash. Dengan fungsi server yang memberikan layanan kepada client, server dituntut untuk memiliki tingkat availability yang tinggi. Hal tersebut memungkinkan mesin server mengalami down. Server juga harus dimatikan untuk keperluan pemeliharaan. Penelitian bertujuan ini membangun Clustering Server yang dapat bekerja bersama yang seolah merupakan sistem tunggal diatas lingkungan virtual. Hal ini merupakan solusi untuk mengatasi permasalahan tersebut. Pada penelitian ini penulis menggunakan server virtualisasi proxmox, FreeNAS sebagai server NAS dan DRBD untuk pendukung ketersediaan layanan tinggi dalam lingkup HA, sinkronisasi data dalam High Availability (HA) yang dapat melakukan mirroring sistem kemesin lain. Dengan diterapkannya metode HA dan sinkronasi DRBD serta penggunaan NFS (Network File System) pada sistem cluster didapatkan hasil rata-rata waktu migrasi sebesar 9.7(s) pada node1 menuju node2, 3.7(s) node2 menuju node3, dan 3(s) pada node3 menuju node1. Didaptkan juga waktu downtime yang lebih sedikit yaitu sebesar 0.58 ms pada node1, 0.02 ms pada node2, dan 0.02 ms pada node3.
Sifat Fisika Material Pembentuk OLED: Sebuah Telaah Ilmiah
Authors: Setyawan Lukas Bambang
Published: May 2018

OLED tersusun dari lapisan tipis material semikonduktor organik yang disisipkan di antara dua elektroda. Pada saat diberikan tegangan maka elektron akan diinjeksikan dari katode menuju material material semikonduktor. Pada sisi anode elektron menjauh dari lapisan semikonduktor meninggalkan muatan positif di belakang yang disebut dengan hole. Elektron dan hole bergerak saling mendekat melalui lapisan semikonduktor hingga akhirnya elektron dan hole bertemu dan terjadi rekombinasi. Energi yang dilepaskan pada saat terjadi proses rekonbinasi dipancarkan dalam bentuk cahaya. Warna cahaya yang terbentuk ditentukan ditentukan oleh pita celah (band gap) material semikonduktor. Tiga proses yang sangat penting untuk menentukan efektifitas OLED adalah injeksi muatan, pengangkutan muatan, dan emisi cahaya.

Published: May 2018

Despite an overwhelming history demonstrating the potential of hypothermia to rescue and preserve the brain and spinal cord after injury or disease, clinical trials from the last 50 years have failed to show a convincing benefit. This comprehensive review provides the historical context needed to consider the current status of clinical hypothermia research and a view toward the future direction for this field. For millennia, accounts of hypothermic patients surviving typically fatal circumstances have piqued the interest of physicians and prompted many of the early investigations into hypothermic physiology. In 1650, for example, a 22-year-old woman in Oxford suffered a 30-minute execution by hanging on a notably cold and wet day but was found breathing hours later when her casket was opened in a medical school dissection laboratory. News of her complete recovery inspired pioneers such as John Hunter to perform the first complete and methodical experiments on life in a hypothermic state. Hunter’s work helped spark a scientific revolution in Europe that saw the overthrow of the centuries-old dogma that volitional movement was created by hydraulic nerves filling muscle bladders with cerebrospinal fluid and replaced this theory with animal electricity. Central to this paradigm shift was Giovanni Aldini, whose public attempts to reanimate the hypothermic bodies of executed criminals not only inspired tremendous scientific debate but also inspired a young Mary Shelley to write her novel Frankenstein. Dr. Temple Fay introduced hypothermia to modern medicine with his human trials on systemic and focal cooling. His work was derailed after Nazi physicians in Dachau used his results to justify their infamous experiments on prisoners of war. The latter half of the 20th century saw the introduction of hypothermic cerebrovascular arrest in neurosurgical operating rooms. The ebb and flow of neurosurgical interest in hypothermia that has since persisted reflect our continuing struggle to achieve the neuroprotective benefits of cooling while minimizing the systemic side effects.
Variation in payments for spine surgery episodes of care: implications for episode-based bundled payment
Authors: Kahn Elyne N. , Ellimoottil Chandy , Dupree James M. , Park Paul , Ryan Andrew M.
Published: May 2018

OBJECTIVE

Spine surgery is expensive and marked by high variation across regions and providers. Bundled payments have potential to reduce unwarranted spending associated with spine surgery. This study is a cross-sectional analysis of commercial and Medicare claims data from January 2012 through March 2015 in the state of Michigan. The objective was to quantify variation in payments for spine surgery in adult patients, document sources of variation, and determine influence of patient-level, surgeon-level, and hospital-level factors.

METHODS

Hierarchical regression models were used to analyze contributions of patient-level covariates and influence of individual surgeons and hospitals. The primary outcome was price-standardized 90-day episode payments. Intraclass correlation coefficients—measures of variability accounted for by each level of a hierarchical model—were used to quantify sources of spending variation.

RESULTS

The authors analyzed 17,436 spine surgery episodes performed by 195 surgeons at 50 hospitals. Mean price-standardized 90-day episode payments in the highest spending quintile exceeded mean payments for episodes in the lowest cost quintile by $42,953 (p < 0.001). Facility payments for index admission and post-discharge payments were the greatest contributors to overall variation: 39.4% and 32.5%, respectively. After accounting for patient-level covariates, the remaining hospital-level and surgeon-level effects accounted for 2.0% (95% CI 1.1%–3.8%) and 4.0% (95% CI 2.9%–5.6%) of total variation, respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

Significant variation exists in total episode payments for spine surgery, driven mostly by variation in post-discharge and facility payments. Hospital and surgeon effects account for relatively little of the observed variation.
Closure of a giant anterior sacral meningocele with an omental flap in a patient with Marfan syndrome: case report
Authors: Paisan Gabriella M. , Crandall Kenneth M. , Chen Stephanie , Burks S. Shelby , Sands Laurence R. , Levi Allan D.
Published: May 2018

Anterior sacral meningoceles (ASMs) are rare lesions often associated with connective tissue disorders. These lesions are typically treated posteriorly via closure of the dural stalk. However, given their insidious nature, ASMs can be quite large on presentation, and this approach may not provide adequate decompression. In this case report, the authors describe the successful treatment of a large ASM through drainage and watertight closure of the cyst with an omental flap.

A 43-year-old woman with a history of Marfan syndrome and a large ASM was referred for neurosurgical intervention. The ASM was filling the pelvic cavity and causing severe compression of the bladder. The patient underwent surgical decompression of the cyst through an anterior transabdominal approach and closure of the fistulous tract with a pedicled omental flap. This is the first reported case of successful closure of an ASM with an omental flap. At the 6-month follow-up, the ASM had not recurred on imaging and the patient’s symptoms had resolved.

Anterior sacral meningoceles are rare lesions that often require neurosurgical intervention. Although most can be treated posteriorly, large ASMs compressing the abdominal or pelvic organs may require a transabdominal approach. Moreover, ASMs with wide dural stalks may benefit from closure with an omental flap.
Post-discharge outcomes of failed car seat tolerance screens: A case-control and follow-up study
Authors: Sharma P. , Davis N.L.
Published: May 2018

BACKGROUND:

Despite widespread implementation, limited data exists relating morbidity or adverse outcomes to Car Seat Tolerance Screen (CSTS) result in preterm and low birth weight (LBW) neonates. The objective of this study was to determine longer term post-discharge outcomes of infants who failed a CSTS.

METHODS:

We performed a case control study evaluating outcomes of infants born over one year who failed vs. passed an initial CSTS, utilizing both retrospective medical record review and parental survey data 2–3 years after discharge. Subjects were matched one case of failed CSTS to two controls who passed CSTS based on sex, gestational age, and BW. We performed bivariate analysis of clinical and demographic risk factors comparing those who passed vs. failed CSTS.

RESULTS:

We identified 19 subjects who failed and matched to 37 controls. Cases were significantly more likely to be diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea ( p = 0.027), asthma ( p = 0.016), and be treated with albuterol ( p = 0.008). We did not find differences in frequency of urgent care visits or hospital admissions between the groups. Although more of the cases were noted to have developmental delays, the difference was not statistically significant.

CONCLUSION:

This is the first study to evaluate longer term post-discharge outcomes of subjects having undergone CSTS. Subjects who failed CSTS had significantly increased incidence of respiratory diagnoses such as OSA and asthma than matched controls by 2–3 years after discharge. Larger studies are necessary to further evaluate these findings, but this does provide data that CSTS may be useful in identifying at risk neonates.
Slow enteral feeding decreases risk of transfusion associated necrotizing enterocolitis
Authors: Dako J. , Buzzard J. , Jain M. , Pandey R. , Groh-Wargo S. , Shekhawat P.
Published: May 2018

BACKGROUND:

Necrotizing Enterocolitis (NEC) is a multifactorial condition where PRBC transfusion is associated with necrotizing enterocolitis (TANEC) in about a third of all cases of NEC. We have investigated the role of feeding practices in incidence of TANEC. We sought to compare infants diagnosed with TANEC versus infants diagnosed with classic NEC and investigated the effects of a standardized slow enteral feeding (SSEF) protocol on TANEC incidence as well as the effects of SSEF on growth of infants with NEC.

METHODS:

We conducted a retrospective cohort study, where medical records of infants born in a tertiary care neonatal intensive care unit (level IIIb) from January 1997 to May 2014 with birth weight < 1500 grams and gestational age≤34 weeks with NEC stage IIa or greater according to the modified Bell’s staging were reviewed.

RESULTS:

During the study period, 111 infants developed NEC, and 41/111 (37%) were diagnosed with TANEC. Infants with TANEC were smaller, more premature, had higher SNAPPE scores and were more anemic prior to transfusion compared with infants with ‘classic NEC’. The severity of NEC did not differ between the two groups, however, infants with TANEC had worse outcomes and longer NICU stays. Introduction of SSEF protocol, led to a significant decrease in TANEC. There was no difference in weight and head circumference of infants in the two groups at 2 years corrected age.

CONCLUSION:

SSEF led to a significant reduction in the incidence of TANEC without impairing growth at 2 years corrected age.
Digital by Nature: The Cephalopods and the Algorithms
Authors: Lassu Péter , Pálóczi Tibor
Published: May 2018

This Abstract presents the realisation of the experimental wooden structure, known as “Ammoniterasz” - (Ammonites+Terrace). During the making of this structure, the authors tried to analyse the practical usage of algorithmic design and the generative method. In the generative design, the 3D shape of the real structure is made using an algorithm with predefined editing rules. With an algorithm, it is possible to carry out a real-time structural analysis, together with different kinds of optimisation calculations and production methods. The compilation of the algorithm is created either with scripts or with a 3D graphic surface, which results in a flow chart, by another name, a visual script. Unlike the traditional shaping methods, with generative design, the result is not a static one, but a process which can offer countless options for the pre-defined design (geometric) program. To use a biological analogy: in this way, the designer is creating the rules of a growing process.
Effects of Asphalt Binder Modifying with Polypropylene on Moisture Susceptibility of Asphalt Mixtures with Thermodynamically Concepts
Authors: Hamedi Gholam Hossein , Azarhoosh Ali Reza , Khodadadi Mojtaba
Published: May 2018

In this study, the effect of using Polypropylene (PP) as an antistripping additive of asphalt mixtures is investigated. Here, the moisture susceptibility of asphalt mixtures is evaluated by determining the micro-mechanisms using the surface free energy (SFE) concept. The adhesion bond between the aggregate and asphalt binder and the cohesion strength of the asphalt binder are considered as the main factors that affect moisture damage of asphalt mixtures. Test results indicate that the use of PP improves the resistance of asphalt mixtures in both wet and dry conditions. Also, the results of the SFE tests showed that the modifying asphalt binder with PP increases free energy of adhesion that will improve adhesion resistance between asphalt binder-aggregates. The amount of debonding energy in the samples which are modified with PP is lower than the control samples. This shows that by modifying asphalt binders, the tendency of asphalt binder-aggregate stripping can be reduced. The results show the total SFE of the asphalt binders of the modified samples have more free energy rather than the control samples. This phenomenon shows that failure in the asphalt binder film and cohesion failure will be happened more rarely.
Determination of Cohesion values of Rock Materials using Double Shear Jaws
Authors: Komurlu Eren , Durmus Demir Aysegul
Published: May 2018

In this study, experimental and numerical analyses were carried out for determination of cohesion values of different types of rock materials using double shear jaws (DSJ) which can be practically used with the conventional compressive test equipment, to make shear planes in the rock core specimens. Effects of various parameters like jaw dimensions, gaps between triple blocks of the DSJ and contact conditions of the jaw on the results and validity of the cohesion test were investigated considering failure mechanisms of rock core specimens. Instead of a failure induced due to the shear stresses, tensile failures are mostly seen from conventional shear testing conditions. For a valid failure under the control of shear stresses, a DSJ design was suggested to be used in cohesion determination tests according to the results obtained from this study.

L’histoire municipale d’Uchi Maius : un essai de reconstruction
Authors: Ben Akacha Walid
Published: May 2018

Les récentes fouilles d’Uchi Maius conduites par une équipe tuniso-italienne ont livré un important lot d’inscriptions latines qui constitue un apport capital tant à la connaissance du site qu’à l’histoire sociale et à l’organisation institutionnelle de tout le territoire de la grande colonie de Carthage, la pertica Carthaginiensium. Il n’est guère étonnant que, parallèlement à ces nouvelles recherches, des études érudites axées aussi bien sur l’histoire institutionnelle de cette ville que sur celle de son urbanisme se soient multipliées ces dernières années. C’est à partir de plusieurs articles récents que nous réexaminerons le dossier juridique de cette cité romaine tout en proposant une reconstruction de son histoire municipale.
Les distiques élégiaques de Césarée et la Familia des rois de Maurétanie
Authors: Hamdoune Christine
Published: May 2018

Dans l’importante collection de stèles funéraires retrouvées dans les nécropoles de Césarée qui datent du début du Ier siècle, tant par l’allure du monument que par le formulaire, figure un certain nombre de documents remarquables par leur forme poétique : en quelques distiques élégiaques élégants, ils ont tous en commun de présenter un sentiment de sérénité devant la mort qui paraît inspiré par le modèle grec. Or trois de ces poème ont été composés pour des affranchis des rois de Maurétanie comme le révèlent les données de l’onomastique. La parenté évidente entre les poèmes conduit à conclure que les défunts honorés dans les autres textes, et dont le statut n’est pas précisé, appartiennent sans doute au même milieu, celui de la familia royale, d’autant plus que dans un cas, il s’agit d’un esclave. La comparaison avec les épitaphes en prose des membres de cette familia connus à ce jour, qui occupent le plus souvent des fonctions modestes (artisans ou serviteurs), permet aussi d’établir une distinction au sein de la familia en apportant un éclairage sur le milieu des affranchis très cultivé dont le rôle important à la cour, souligné par Tacite, n’était pas jusque là attesté par l’épigraphie.

Re-examining the set of six Latin inscriptions essentially coming from Ammaedara and its surrounding areas leads to reconsider the meaning of the term emerita of the flavian colony’s word list deduced at the heart of the Musulamii country : colonia Flauia Augusta Emerita Ammaedara. Apparently, it is not a mere attribute in order to translate the constituent part essentially veteran of its original population, but a full toponym/ place name.

Authors: Leveau Philippe , Remy Bernard
Published: May 2018

Une inscription votive de Cherchell mentionne le nom du dieu Ésus. Elle semble datée de l’époque royale maurétanienne. Ce dieu gaulois est notamment connu par la Pharsale de Lucain. Mais les inscriptions qui le mentionnent sont très rares. La nature d’Ésus est examinée pour reconstituer les origines de la dévotion de Peregrinus. Le dédicant serait un mercenaire gaulois. Dans ce cas, il peut avoir été au service des rois maures.
Normes douanières et réglementation des échanges. Trois questions simples sur le tarif de Zaraï (Numidie)
Authors: France Jérôme
Published: May 2018

Le texte épigraphique connu sous le nom de «Tarif de Zaraï » (Numidie, aujourd’hui Algérie) constitue un document important car c’est un des très rares tarifs douaniers conservés du monde romain. Il intéresse quatre aspects : la réglementation et la procédure douanières, les relations entre le portorium et l’armée, les marchés locaux, les circuits commerciaux à grande et petite échelle, dans le contexte de la proximité de la frontière africaine. On s’intéressera ici surtout au premier aspect, paradoxalement le moins étudié. Trois questions se posent. La première est celle de la nature précise du document ; elle conduit à une analyse détaillée de la structure du texte et à l’examen de quelques problèmes de lecture et d’interprétation, notamment celui de la lex portus

max(i) m(a ou -i) mentionnée par le texte, et dont nous pensons qu’il s’agit du règlement principal de la douane d’Afrique. La deuxième question est celle de l’auteur, c’est-à-dire de l’autorité émettrice, question qui conduit elle-même à s’interroger sur le portus perçu à Zaraï. On examine les différentes hypothèses évoquées dans l’historiographie pour estimer au bout du compte qu’il devait s’agir d’une douane impériale faisant partie des quattuor publica Africae, que les historiens s’accordent aujourd’hui à interpréter comme un ensemble de quatre revenus fiscaux, dirigé par un procurateur équestre. Enfin, la troisième question concerne la raison de la rédaction et de la gravure du texte, explicitement motivée par le départ de la cohorte qui stationnait à Zaraï. Là encore, plusieurs hypothèses sont envisagées avant de s’orienter vers une explication en rapport avec la modification de la situation locale, commerciale et fiscale, provoquée par ce départ.

J.-C. Sans en faire une mention expresse, contrairement à certaines émissions monétaires, elles coïncident avec ses jubilés impériaux, ses decennalia et uicennalia,

célébrés somptueusement à Rome. Le formulaire de ces inscriptions, leurs supports, leurs objets et l’identité de leurs dédicants et des autorités qui les supervisent suggèrent une solennité non dénuée d’importance et renvoient peut-être à un contexte de festivités. En effet, l’aspect monumental des édifices inaugurés (temples du culte impérial, temples du dieu Neptune, thermes impériaux, portes monumentales…) et la présidence assurée par des gouverneurs, certains de leurs adjoints et des légats de la IIIe légion Auguste accusent le caractère officiel de ces inscriptions et favorisent l’hypothèse d’un lien de correspondance avec les fêtes jubilaires de cet empereur.
Amphores africaines du type Ostia XXIII à Fréjus. Annexe de Claudio Capelli, Analyse pétrographique d’amphores de type Ostia XXIII

Published: May 2018

Rarement attestées dans les fouilles récentes menées dans la ville antique de Forum Iulii (Fréjus), plusieurs amphores africaines assimilables au type Ostia XXIII, dans un bon état de conservation, ont été découvertes lors de la fouille préventive du site de l’École des Poiriers. Elles se trouvaient intégrées, avec une série d’autres amphores africaines, au sein d’un drain aménagé dans le courant de la seconde moitié du IIe s. Cette découverte, associée à d’autres exemplaires d’amphores africaines du IIe s., comme des Ostia LIX, mises au jour à Fréjus, permet de dresser un premier bilan sur ce type de conteneur attestant de l’importation d’huile d’olive depuis l’Afrique proconsulaire vers la cité portuaire de Fréjus au IIe siècle.
Observations archéologiques et archéométriques sur quelques types d’amphores africaines en circulation à Arles aux IIe et IIIe s. apr. J.-C.

Recent studies of several levels of harbor and urban rubbish dumps in Arles have provided rich documentation on trade in this harbor city during the 2nd and 3rd c. AD. This period is marked particularly by an increase in African products transported in amphorae. The goal of this note is to present new data on some amphora types, as yet undocumented in Gaul : Schöne-Mau XXXV and «pseudo-Dr. 2/ 4», Ostia XXIII, Carthage Early Amphora 4 and Leptiminus II. Moreover, an archaeometric study provides some specific data on the African origins of these unheralded amphorae.
L’huile de ben identifiée dans quatre amphores africaines de type Ostia LIX provenant d’Arles : difficultés d’interprétation
Authors: Djaoui David , Garnier Nicolas , Dodinet Elisabeth

Analyses on four African amphorae of Ostia LIX type found in the Rhône river indicated the disparate presence of Ben oil, wine and milk. According to ancient texts, Ben oil is part of ointments and flavours structural composition, which flavouring compounds are fixed on vegetable oils. Presence on four samples of a dominant biomarker suite from this oil gives reason to consider it as a primary content. However, the natural range of Moringa sp. oil tree in Africa does not cover the area where amphora production is supposed to be located (Africa Proconsularis and more specifically the north western region of current Tunisia) and the hypothesis of extensive cultivation of the species at the time in the area would be far stretched. This paradoxical analysis, linked to the interpretation of Pompeii painted inscriptions (see Bonifay M. et al., in this volume), leads us to consider that the primary contents of Ostia LIX could be olives preserved in brine. The impossibility to identify the biomarkers of olives wholly preserved yields the hypothesis of Ben oil as secondary contents. In order to understand the zone where the amphorae were reused, the research was focused on areas within the natural range of Moringa sp. and, among those, particularly Egypt where the presence of Ostia LIX amphorae is significant and where the use of Ben oil is documented in the period. We have, thus, contemplated that, leaving from Thabraca, these amphorae which were in all probability redistributed from Rome, could be recycled in Egypt with Ben oil. Further chemical analyses from different contexts are needed to allow us to strengthen these temporary conclusions.

L’analyse d’un document épigraphique inédit découvert sur le site archéologique de Mustis a permis de mettre en exergue l’existence d’un culte, assuré par une flaminique, d’une impératrice de la dynastie julio-claudienne attestant du loyalisme et de la gratitude des Mustitains envers cette même dynastie.
DEVELOPING A SUCCESSFUL AEROTROPOLIS BY USING A HYBRID MODEL UNDER INFORMATION UNCERTAINTY

Many airports are being expanded from transportation centers to economic hubs. This new type of urban area has been termed the aerotropolis or airport metropolis and is meant to function as an economic center with land-use that link local and global markets. However, to find the optimal means for developing an aerotropolis requires additional research, particularly from the viewpoint of long-term public policy and planning. In this study, a multiple criteria decision making model was applied to explore the key factors for successfully building an aerotropolis. We first applied the Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory based Analytical Network Process to construct the complex system and influential weights. A modified VIKOR method was then utilized to explore the gaps between the aspiration levels and the current situation. In addition, considering the uncertainty of decision-makers, fuzzy theory was integrated into the model. Data from the Taoyuan Aerotropolis in Taiwan were used to demonstrate this method. The results indicate that internationalization is the most crucial factor within the system, and that administrative efficiency has the highest degree of net influence. The largest weighted gap to the examined aspiration level is adequate regulation. Management implications are provided in the discussion.
Serendipitous Detection of
Absorption Sets the True Redshift of 4C +15.05 to z = 0.833
Authors: Jones K. M. , Ghosh T. , Salter C. J.
Published: May 2018

4C+15.05 (also known as NRAO 91, PKS 0202+14, or J0204+15) is a quintessential blazar. It has a luminous, variable radio spectrum, a super-luminal jet, and gamma-ray detections. Arecibo observations with the 700–800 MHz receiver on the 305 m diameter William E. Gordon Telescope detected, serendipitously, H i in absorption against 4C+15.05 while using it as a bandpass calibrator for another object in an H i absorption project. Although the redshift we derive is different from that commonly in use in the literature (nominally z = 0.405), it agrees very well with the value of z = 0.833 determined by Stickel et al. This absorption feature is best fitted by a sum of three Gaussians, which yield an average redshift of z = 0.8336 ± 0.0004, although without corresponding high-resolution imaging it is not possible to say whether the components are parts of outflows or inflows. A total column density of N(H i) = 2.39 ± 0.13 × 1021 cm−2 is derived, relatively high compared to many radio-loud sources. These results are compared to various relationships in the literature.
A Dust-scattering Halo of 4U 1630–47 Observed with Chandra and Swift: New Constraints on the Source Distance

Published: May 2018

We have observed the Galactic black hole transient 4U 1630−47 during the decay of its 2016 outburst with Chandra and Swift to investigate the properties of the dust-scattering halo created by the source. The scattering halo shows a structure that includes a bright ring between 80″ and 240″ surrounding the source, and a continuous distribution beyond 250″. An analysis of the 12CO J = 1–0 map and spectrum in the line of sight to the source indicates that a molecular cloud with a radial velocity of −79 km s−1 (denoted MC −79) is the main scattering body that creates the bright ring. We found additional clouds in the line of sight, calculated their kinematic distances, and resolved the well known “near” and “far” distance ambiguity for most of the clouds. At the favored far-distance estimate of MC −79, the modeling of the surface brightness profile results in a distance to 4U 1630−47 of 11.5 ± 0.3 kpc. If MC −79 is at the near distance, then 4U 1630−47 is at 4.7 ± 0.3 kpc. Future Chandra, Swift, and submillimeter radio observations not only can resolve this ambiguity, but also would provide information regarding properties of dust and the distribution of all molecular clouds along the line of sight. Using the results of this study we also discuss the nature of this source and the reasons for the observation of an anomalously low soft state during the 2010 decay.
ALMA Images of the Host Cloud of the Intermediate-mass Black Hole Candidate CO−0.40–0.22*: No Evidence for Cloud–Black Hole Interaction, but Evidence for a Cloud–Cloud Collision
Authors: Tanaka Kunihiko
Published: May 2018

This paper reports a reanalysis of archival ALMA data of the high velocity(-width) compact cloud CO−0.40–0.22, which has recently been hypothesized to host an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH). If beam-smearing effects, difference in beam sizes among frequency bands, and Doppler shift due to the motion of the Earth are considered accurately, none of the features reported as evidence for an IMBH in previous studies are confirmed in the reanalyzed ALMA images. Instead, through analysis of the position–velocity structure of the HCN J = 3–2 data cube, we have found kinematics typical of a cloud–cloud collision (CCC), namely, two distinct velocity components bridged by broad emission features with elevated temperatures and/or densities. One velocity component has a straight filamentary shape with approximately constant centroid velocities along its length but with a steep, V-shaped velocity gradient across its width. This contradicts the IMBH scenario but is consistent with a collision between two dissimilar-sized clouds. From a non-LTE analysis of the multitransition methanol lines, the volume density of the post-shock gas has been measured to be ≳106 cm−3, indicating that the CCC shock can compress gas in a short timescale to densities typical of star-forming regions. Evidence for star formation has not been found, possibly because the cloud is in an early phase of CCC-triggered star formation or because the collision is nonproductive.

We investigate Lyα, [O iii] λ5007, Hα, and [C ii] 158 μm emission from 1124 galaxies at z = 4.9–7.0. Our sample is composed of 1092 Lyα emitters (LAEs) at z = 4.9, 5.7, 6.6, and 7.0 identified by Subaru/Hyper-Suprime-Cam (HSC) narrowband surveys covered by Spitzer Large Area Survey with Hyper-Suprime-Cam (SPLASH) and 34 galaxies at z = 5.148–7.508 with deep ALMA [C ii] 158 μm data in the literature. Fluxes of strong rest-frame optical lines of [O iii] and Hα (Hβ) are constrained by significant excesses found in the SPLASH 3.6 and 4.5 μm photometry. At z = 4.9, we find that the rest-frame Hα equivalent width and the Lyα escape fraction f

correlation is similarly found at z ∼ 0–2, suggesting no evolution of the correlation over z ≃ 0–5. The typical ionizing photon production efficiency of LAEs is log(ξ
