Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) and endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) are two techniques used in the resection of gastrointestinal mucosal polyps. The aim of this work is the development and evaluation of an innovative polymeric solution containing sodium carboxymethylcellulose and hyaluronic acid. For this purpose, several mixtures of these two main components, as well as other components such as fructose, citric acid, and zinc, are evaluated in terms of physicochemical and microbiological properties, rheological behavior, extensibility, syringeability, and stability at different storage conditions. Furthermore, the potential production of mucosal elevation and duration is also studied by an ex vivo model using porcine stomach and colon. Results show that the developed polymeric solutions possess optimal values of pH, from 4.58 to 6.63, for their use in the gastrointestinal tract. The formulations exhibit both Newtonian and pseudoplastic behaviors with different viscosity values as a function of their composition. All formulations exhibit high stability properties and no bacterial or fungal growth is detected. MCS01 and MCS05 are the polymeric solutions with the best syringeability results. In this line, MCS05 is the formulation that provides the highest, 2.20 ± 0.18 cm and 1.40 ± 0.11 cm, and longest-lasting, for more than 120 min, elevation effect on porcine submucosal stomach and colon tissues, respectively. Thus, it can be concluded that polymeric solution MCS05 might be considered as a promising tool for use in human EMR and ESD.

Published: April 2020

Cracking of sweet cherry (Prunus avium L.) fruits is caused by rain events close to harvest. This problem has occurred in most cherry growing regions with significant economic losses. Several orchard management practices have been applied to reduce the severity of this disorder, like the foliar application of minerals or growth regulators. In the present study, we hypothesized that preharvest spray treatments improve the physiological performance of sweet cherry trees and could also mitigate environmental stressful conditions. Effects of repeated foliar spraying of calcium (Ca), gibberellic acid (GA3), abscisic acid (ABA), salicylic acid (SA), glycine betaine (GB), and the biostimulant Ascophyllum nodosum (AN) on the physiological and biochemical performance of ‘Skeena’ sweet cherry trees during two consecutive years (without Ca in 2015 and in 2016 with addition of Ca) were studied. Results showed that in general spray treatments improved the physiological performance and water status of the trees. AN and ABA sprays were demonstrated to be the best compounds for increasing yield and reducing cherry cracking as well as improving photosynthetic performance and leaf metabolites content. In conclusion, AN and ABA might be promising tools in the fruit production system.
The Influence of User-Adapted, Instructive Information on Participation in a Recycling Scheme: A Case Study in a Medium-Sized Swedish City

Published: April 2020

Several theories and case studies have shown that information has little or no direct influence on waste sorting behavior. However, it is often suggested that information plays a vital role by indirectly influencing behavior. This contribution sheds light on how instructive information influences users of a recycling scheme in terms of perception, knowledge and waste sorting behavior. The study was performed as a case study on a student population in a medium-sized city in Sweden. An intervention in the form of modified information that was provided to the users was studied. This information was instructive in nature and adapted to the participants’ needs using the Recycling Behavior Transition procedure, where the users are involved in the development and modification of recycling schemes. New information was designed after investigating how the participants perceived the original information on correct waste sorting, as well as ascertaining their preferred channel for providing the information. Pick analyses and surveys were conducted before and after providing the user-adapted information. The results indicated a trend towards correct participation in the recycling scheme. These results are also discussed in the theoretical context of the Motivation-Opportunity-Ability-Behavior model. The study shows that user-adapted, instructive information can have a significant influence on people’s knowledge of correct waste separation and their overall perception of information.
The Shift from Consumers to Prosumers: Susceptibility of Young Adults to Radicalization
Authors: Sugihartati Rahma , Suyanto Bagong , Sirry Mun’im
Published: April 2020

This article examines the radicalization of young adults in relation to internet access and the social media content produced and managed by radical groups in Indonesia. Some of the research problems that become the major concern of this article were how young people respond to the internet and social media that provide radical content, how they find out about and access the content, what their purposes are for accessing radical content, and what they do with the radical content. The data discussed in this article were obtained from surveys and interviews with 700 students from seven state universities in Indonesia who were allegedly exposed to radicalism, according to the National Agency for Combating Terrorism (BNPT). The state universities that became research locations were the University of Indonesia (UI), Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB), Bogor Agriculture University (IPB), Diponegoro University (Undip), the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS), Universitas Airlangga (UNAIR), and the University of Brawijaya (UB). This study revealed that in addition to accessing and consuming various radical content, some students also acted as prosumers. That is, they did not only read, but also produced information related to radicalization, and then recirculated it via social media.
Vaccination with Schistosoma mansoni Cholinesterases Reduces the Parasite Burden and Egg Viability in a Mouse Model of Schistosomiasis
Authors: Tedla Bemnet A. , Pickering Darren , Becker Luke , Loukas Alex , Pearson Mark S.
Published: April 2020

Schistosomiasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by parasitic blood flukes of the genus Schistosoma, which kills 300,000 people every year in developing countries, and there is no vaccine. Recently, we have shown that cholinesterases (ChEs)—enzymes that regulate neurotransmission—from Schistosoma mansoni are expressed on the outer tegument surface and present in the excretory/secretory products of larval schistosomula and adult worms, and are essential for parasite survival in the definitive host, highlighting their utility as potential schistosomiasis vaccine targets. When treated in vitro with anti-schistosome cholinesterase (SmChE) IgG, both schistosomula and adult worms displayed significantly decreased ChE activity, which eventually resulted in parasite death. Vaccination with individual SmChEs, or a combination of all three SmChEs, significantly reduced worm burdens in two independent trials compared to controls. Average adult worm numbers and liver egg burdens were significantly decreased for all vaccinated mice across both trials, with values of 29–39% and 13–46%, respectively, except for those vaccinated with SmAChE1 in trial 1. Egg viability, as determined by egg hatching from liver homogenates, was significantly reduced in the groups vaccinated with the SmChE cocktail (40%) and SmAChE2 (46%). Furthermore, surviving worms from each vaccinated group were significantly stunted and depleted of glycogen stores, compared to controls. These results suggest that SmChEs could be incorporated into a vaccine against schistosomiasis to reduce the pathology and transmission of this debilitating disease.

Serial litigants are a well-known phenomenon. This article deals with this phenomenon on two different levels using Israel as a test-case. First, we analyze the impact they have on the judicial system as a whole, and the institutional responses the judicial system uses in order to deal with serial litigants as well as the impact (both positive and negative) such serial litigants have on other litigants. Second, we analyze the personal motives of serial litigants and identify their common denominators, as well as what differentiates them. In this regard the article offers a unique approach by presenting the perspective of serial litigants and the human dimension behind their claims. We then show that serial litigants do not constitute a monolithic group, and suggest that courts have to take the differences between them into account. We further propose the formulation of systemic tools that take into account both the negative and the positive aspects of serial litigants in order to strike a proper balance between the optimal allocation of resources, and the right of access to justice.

تلقي الخطاب: هو الاستماع إليه إذا كان منطوقا، أو النظر فيه إذا كان مكتوباً. ووَضْعُ منهجٍ لتلقي الخطاب الشرعي (النص) تلقياً صحيحاً ومُنتِجاً، هو من المهام التي ينبغي أن يتكفل بها علم أصول الفقه. ومن وجهة نظرنا فإن المعالم الكبرى لـِ (المنهج الصحيح لتلقي النص)، تتحدَّد بأمرين؛ أحدهما: الأدوات اللازمة لممارسة التلقي، وهي تشمل مجموعة المعارف والقواعد اللغوية والشرعية والمنطقية التي ينبغي أن تكون حاضرة لدى المتلقي حتى يكون أهلاً لهذا الفعل. والأمر الثاني: الغاية التي رسمها الشارع لفعل التلقي سمعاً أو نظراً، أو (مقصد التلقي)، أو قل: (علة التلقي)، وهي التي تضبط المتلقي من الإفراط بتجاوز هذه الغاية، ومن التفريط بالقصور عنها. 

ومن خلال نظرنا في علم أصول الفقه وجدناه يهتم بالدرجة الأولى بالمحدِّد الأول لمنهج التلقي، وهو أدوات التلقي، بينما لم نجده يحتفي كثيراً بالمحدِّد الثاني، وهو غاية التلقي. والسبب فيما نرى هو أن علم أصول الفقه غلبت عليه الصَّنْعة الفِقهية، بحيث أصبح يَنْشُدُ وضعَ قواعدَ لتلقي النص؛ لأجل غاية خاصة، هي الوصول إلى الحكم الشرعي العَمَلي لا غير. 

والمأمول من علم أصول الفقه الآن أن لا ينحصر بهذه الغاية الخاصة، بل أن يتجاوز ذلك إلى وضع قواعد عامة لتلقي النص الديني بصرف النظر عن البحث عن حكم شرعي فيه أم لا، وبذلك يخدم هذا العلم، بصورة رئيسة، كلَّ متلقٍّ للنص الشرعي، سواءً أكان فقيهاً، أم مفسراً، أم شارحاً، أم غير ذلك. وقد يُقال: لندع علم أصول الفقه على ما هو عليه، وَلْنَشْتَق منه علماً جديداً يُعنى بفقه النص عموما بصرف النظر عن الحكم الشرعي، ولنسمِّه علم أصول فقه النص أو شيئاً من هذا القبيل، وهذا من وجهة نظري أفضل، وسيكون هذا العلم شبيها بعلمي القواعد والمقاصد اللذين نشآ إلى جوار علم أصول الفقه التقليدي.

وأياًّ ما كان الأمر، فإن البداية لا بد أن تكون بتحديد الوجهة وبيان الهدف، وهو ما يتمثل من وجهة نظري ببيان (المقصد) الذي رسمه الشارع لتلقي النص، مع إلقاء الضوء على أنماط التلقي القائمة فعلاً للنص، الصحيح منها والباطل، والتام منها والقاصر، وهو ما لأجله كانت هذه الدراسة.

وبما أن هذه الدراسة هي في الأصل دراسة تعليلية لفعل من أفعال المكلفين (التلقي) فإنها قد استخدمت الأدوات الأصولية المختلفة في الوصول إلى مُبتغاها، كالتحليل، والسبر، والتقسيم، والاستقراء. ولقد جاءت في مطلبين: المطلب الأول: وهو بعنوان: المعنى الكامل للخطاب. ونبحث فيه عن إمكانيات الخطاب، أو عن كل المعاني الصحيحة التي من الممكن أن يُتحصَّل عليها من الخطاب. والمطلب الثاني: وهو بعنوان: الغاية من تلقي الخطاب عموماً والنص خصوصاً. ونبحث فيه بالدرجة الأولى عن الغاية الفعلية، القريبة والبعيدة، التي رسمها الشارع لتلقي النص ...

Книга была издана в 1975 г. в Алматы. После издания она была запрещена, была изъята из библиотек. Автор был обвинен в национализме и пантюркизме. Славяно-тюркский или тюрко-славянский компонент в содержании великого славянского древнего письменного памятника «Слово о полку Игореве» («Слово») официально не признавался, т.е. отрицался, так как считалось, что в ней нет или не может быть тюркизмов, при том, что тесное взаимоотношение славян и половцев (тюрков-кыпчаков) было общеизвестным фактом в истории. Было общеизвестно и функционирование славяно-тюркского и тюрко-славянского двуязычия в период создания «Слова». В статье осуществлен анализ и описание исследователей творчества О.О. Сулейменова, опубликованных в последнее десятилетие по вопросам его научной трактовки о присутствии в памятнике тюркской лексики и придаче ею особенного колорита великой поэме. Книга породила ген неповиновения и ген справедливости, которые в совокупности отражают реальную идеологическую и научно-историческую ситуацию в период её написания, публикации и обсуждения в коридорах идеологической власти и официальной науки.
IMPACT OF PRODUCT DUMPING ON THE AGRICULTURAL SECTOR IN IRAQ (2009-2017)
Authors: & Jbara Ghadhban
Published: April 2020

The aim of this work was to check the presence of the dumping from neighboring countries of Iraq, Turkey and Jordan. The margin of dumping was calculated by taking the difference between the normal value and the export price. If it exceeds 2%, then there is dumping. Product dumping in Iraq has increased since 2003, and it is increasing from year to year for many types of agricultural and food commodities. Main reasons are the high rate of imports and the absence of trade policies represented by customs tariffs which in turn control the trade exchange. The research concluded that there is an intentional dumping in the trade of some agricultural commodities with Iraq from neighboring countries. Trade exchange with these countries has negative effects on the domestic product.

Objective.

To determine the effect of the tinctorial properties of microorganism on the nutritional status and the early outcome in patients with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) of bacterial origin.
Materials and Methods.

A retrospective statistical analysis of case histories of 137 patients with signs and symptoms of SIRS and bacterial infections (caused by a single pathogen) was performed. The following clinical and laboratory parameters of protein-energy undernutrition (PEU) were determined and assessed: body mass index, body weight deficit, total protein, serum albumin, absolute peripheral blood lymphocyte count. Basic metabolic rate indicators (daily energy demand, macronutrient demand) were calculated by indirect calorimetry. The severity of patients at hospital admission is assessed using the SOFA.
Results.

The statistically significant effect of the tinctorial properties of microorganism on the nutritional status and the early outcome in patients with SIRS of bacterial origin was confirmed.
Conclusions.

The type of microorganism determined by tinctorial properties has a different effect on patient’s metabolic status. Patients with Gram-negative infections have an increased protein and protein caloric intake. Patients with Gram-positive infections have an increased energy requirements and macronutrient intake. The indicators of the baseline PEU in patients with SIRS of bacterial origin have a significant effect on the disease outcome. The study results stress the importance of nutritional therapy directed to adjustment of daily caloric intake and the percentage of protein calories in patients with systemic bacterial inflammation.
Acquired Long QT Syndrome: A Review of the Literature
Authors: R Rajendram
Published: April 2020

The QT interval represents the duration of ventricular depolarization and repolarization. It is measured from the beginning of the QRS complex to the end of the T wave. Prolongation of the QT interval may be congenital or acquired. This increases the risk of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (i.e torsades de pointes) and cardiac arrest. To increase the awareness of this life-threatening phenomenon I outline an illustrative case in which acquired prolongation of the QT interval due to electrolyte derangement and administration of ciprofloxacin resulted in cardiac arrest due to torsade de pointes. Management of a patient with a long QT syndrome includes Immediate cessation of drugs that prolong the QT interval; cardiac monitoring, serial 12 lead ECGs and transthoracic echocardiography; measurement of serum electrolytes; intravenous potassium replacement; intravenous magnesium replacement; beta-blockade. Causes of acquired prolongation of the QT interval are common in critically ill patients. It is important to recognize this and consider screening with 12 lead ECG to reduce the risk of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
Assessing the natural hazard of gully erosion through a Geoecological Information System (GeIS): a case study from the Western Carpathians
Authors: Saksa Martin , Minár Jozef
Published: April 2020

The development of gullies represents a specific type of fluvial erosion that is triggered when surface runoff becomes concentrated during extreme rainfall events. This study investigates a part of the Považské Valley and Strážovské Mountains in Slovakia to assess the potential susceptibility and gully erosion hazard using a Geoecological Information System (GeIS). The landscape of the area was studied through primary field research and the analysis of secondary materials. The GeIS was then constructed in order to undertake specific multidimensional statistical methods. These were used to assess the potential susceptibly and gully erosion hazard. Those areas with the greatest potential susceptibility occur in Butkovská Furrow and the Podmanínska Hills whilst those with the least potential susceptibility occur in Butkovské Klippes and the Trenčianska Upland. The greatest gully erosion hazard was identified on arable land in the Podmanínska Hills and on the river terraces in the Ilavská Basin. It is clear that the majority of the permanent gullies within the study area are controlled by the course of existing anthropogenic linear features such as unpaved field and forest roads and balks in arable land.

EVALUATING THE MOTOR COMPETENCE OF HEARING IMPAIRED PRIMARY SCHOOL STUDENTS
Authors: Hristova Mirela
Published: April 2020

Motor Competence (MC) is the ability to perform a wide range of motor activities, relying on adequate levels of motor coordination and physical capacity to achieve. The aim of this study was to assess the development of basic motor competence indicators among students with hearing impairment aged 7 to 11 years. The research was done among a total of 91 children aged 7 to 11 years, of whom 42 children with hearing impairment (14 girls, 28 boys) and 49 – with non-impaired hearing (26 girls, 23 boys). For the purpose of the study, the Kiphard and Schilling battery test – Körperkoordinations Test für Kinder (KTK, 1974) was used. It consists of 4 tests that were measured once. Based on these, four motor quotients were formed, which in turn formed the so-called “Gross Motor Quotient”. The results were processed statistically through variation and correlation analysis with the SPSS program. The results showed significantly lower development of motor competence among students with hearing impairment. The standardized motor quotients of the 4 tests (for boys - all 4; for girls - 3) and the total motor quotient were significantly lower than those of their hearing peers. The lack of significant differences in the mean values of the MQ3 in girls can be explained by the lower performance of the hearing girls compared to the KTK norms. As a conclusion, the motor competence of children with hearing impairment, assessed by both the overall motor quotient and the individual quotients obtained from the four tests is significantly lower than that of children with non-impaired hearing in primary school age.

Human and Non-human Agencies in the Anthropocene // Agencialidades humanas y no-humanas en el Antropoceno
Authors: Duerbeck Gabriele , Schaumann Caroline , Sullivan Heather
Published: April 2020

The era of human impact throughout the Earth’s biosphere since the Industrial Revolution that has recently been named the Anthropocene poses many challenges to the humanities, particularly in terms of human and non-human agency. Using diverse examples from literature, travel reflections, and science that document a wide range of agencies beyond the human including landscape, ice, weather, volcanic energy or gastropods, and insects, this essay seeks to formulate a broader sense of agency. All of our examples probe new kinds of relationships between humans and nature. By configuring a close interconnection and interdependence between these entities, the Anthropocene discourse defines such relationships anew. On the one hand, our examples highlight the negative effects of anthropocentric control and supremacy over nature, but on the other, they depict ambivalent positions ranging from surrender and ecstasy to menace and demise that go hand in hand with the acknowledgment of non-human agencies.   Resumen   La era del impacto humano en la biosfera de la Tierra desde la Revolución Industrial y que ha sido recientemente nombrada Antropoceno plantea mucho retos a las humanidades, especialmente en términos de agencia humana y no-humana. Usando varios ejemplos de la literatura, reflexiones de viajes y ciencia que documentan una gran variedad de agencias más allá de la humana incluyendo el paisaje, el hielo, el clima, la energía volcánica o los gasterópodos e insectos, este ensayo busca formular un sentido más amplio de agencia. Todos nuestros ejemplos investigan nuevos tipos de relaciones entre ser humano y naturaleza. Al configurar una interconexión e interdependencia cercanas entre estas entidades, el discurso del Antropoceno define tales relaciones de forma diferente. Por un lado, nuestros ejemplos destacan los efectos negativos del control antropocéntrico y de la supremacía sobre la naturaleza; pero, por otro lado, representan posiciones ambivalentes que van desde la rendición y el éxtasis a la amenaza y la desaparición que van codo con codo con el reconocimiento de las agencias no-humanas.
Disposable Cartridge Concept for On-Demand Synthesis of Turbo Grignards, Knochel-Hauser Amides and Magnesium Alkoxides
Authors: Berton Mateo , Sheehan Kevin , Adamo Andrea , McQuade D Tyler
Published: April 2020

Magnesium organometallic reagents occupy a central position in organic synthesis. Freshness of these compounds is key for achieving high conversion and reproducible results. Common methods for the synthesis of Grignard reagents from metallic magnesium present safety issues and exhibit batch-to-batch variability. Tubular reactors of solid-reagents combined with solution phase reagents enable the continuous-flow preparation of organomagnesium reagents. The use of stratified packed bed columns of magnesium and lithium chloride for the synthesis of highly concentrated turbo Grignards is reported. A low-cost pod-style synthesizer prototype, which incorporates single-use prepacked perfluorinated cartridges and bags of reagents, for the automated on-demand lab-scale synthesis of carbon, nitrogen and oxygen turbo magnesium bases is presented.

Published: April 2020

In this paper, we proposed the selective and ultrasensitive detection of Cadmium ions using a Cysteamine functionalized microcantilever-based sensor with cross-linked  DL-glyceraldehyde. The detection time for various laboratory-based techniques is generally 12-24 hours. The experiments performed to create the SAMs of Cysteamine (Cys) cross-linked with DL-glyceraldehyde on the Microcantilever surface to selectivity capture the targeted Cd2+ Ions. The proposed portable microfluidic platform able to achieve the detection in 20-23 minutes and having a Limit of Detection (LOD) of 0.56 ng (2.78 pM), which perfectly describes its excellent performance over other reported techniques. Many researchers used Nanoparticles (NPs)-Based sensors for Heavy metal ions detection, but day by day, increasing usage and commercialization of Nanoparticles are rapidly expanding their deleterious effect on human health and the environment. The proposed technique uses the blend of thin-film and microcantilever (MEMS)-technology to overdrive the disadvantages of the Nanoparticles-approaches for selective Cd2+ ions detection and having LOD less than WHO limit of 3 µg/L. The fabricated sensor can achieve the limits efficiently well below the standards set by the WHO and helpful for the early detection of HMIs polluted source.

A Modified Wavenet-Based Link Status Predictor for Computer Networks
Authors: Abdul-Jabbar Jassim , Hazim Omar
Published: April 2020

In this paper, a modified wavelet neural network (WNN) (or wavenet)-based predictor is introduced to predict link status (congestion with load indication) of each link in the computer network. On the contrary of previous wavenet-based predictors, the proposed modified wavenet-based link state predictor (MWBLSP) generates two indicating outputs for congestion and load status of each link based on the premeasured power burden (square values) of utilization on each link in the previous time intervals. Fortunately, WNNs possess all learning and generalization capabilities of traditional neural networks. In addition, the ability of such WNNs are efficiently enhanced by the local characteristics of wavelet functions to deal with sudden changes and burst network load. The use of power burden utilization at the predictor input supports some non-linear distributions of the predicted values in a more efficient manner. The proposed MWBLSP predictor can be used in the context of active congestion control and link load balancing techniques to improve the performance of all links in the network with best utilization of network resources.

The fourth catalog of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope Large Area Telescope (4LAC) between 2008 August 4 and 2016 August 2 contains

objects located at high Galactic latitudes (

). It includes 85% more sources than the previous 3LAC catalog based on 4 yr of data. AGNs represent at least 79% of the high-latitude sources in the fourth Fermi-Large Area Telescope Source Catalog (4FGL), which covers the energy range from 50 MeV to 1 TeV. In addition,

gamma-ray AGNs are found at low Galactic latitudes. Most of the 4LAC AGNs are blazars (98%), while the remainder are other types of AGNs. The blazar population consists of 24% Flat Spectrum Radio Quasars (FSRQs), 38% BL Lac-type objects, and 38% blazar candidates of unknown types (BCUs). On average, FSRQs display softer spectra and stronger variability in the gamma-ray band than BL Lacs do, confirming previous findings. All AGNs detected by ground-based atmospheric Cerenkov telescopes are also found in the 4LAC.
Three Dusty Star-forming Galaxies at z ∼ 1.5: Mergers and Disks on the Main Sequence
Authors: Drew Patrick M. , Casey Caitlin M. , Cooray Asantha , Whitaker Katherine E.
Published: April 2020

The main sequence of galaxies, a correlation between the star formation rates (SFRs) and stellar masses of galaxies, has been observed out to z ∼ 4. Galaxies within the scatter of the correlation are typically interpreted to be secularly evolving while galaxies with SFRs elevated above the main sequence are interpreted to be undergoing interactions or to be Toomre-unstable disks with starbursting clumps. In this paper, we investigate the recent merger histories of three dusty star-forming galaxies, identified by their bright submillimeter emission at z ∼ 1.5. We analyze rest-frame optical and UV imaging, rest-frame optical emission line kinematics using slit spectra obtained with the Multi-Object Spectrometer For Infra-Red Exploration (MOSFIRE) on Keck I, and calculate Gini and M
20 statistics for each galaxy and conclude two are merger driven while the third is an isolated disk galaxy. The disk galaxy lies ∼4× above the main sequence, one merger lies within the scatter of the main sequence, and one merger lies ∼4× below the main sequence. This hints that the location of a galaxy with respect to the main sequence may not be a useful discriminator of the recent star formation history of high-M

galaxies at z ∼ 1.
Cometary Activity Discovered on a Distant Centaur: A Nonaqueous Sublimation Mechanism
Authors: Chandler Colin Orion , Kueny Jay K. , Trujillo Chadwick A. , Trilling David E. , Oldroyd William J.
Published: April 2020

Centaurs are minor planets thought to have originated in the outer solar system region known as the Kuiper Belt. Active Centaurs enigmatically display comet-like features (e.g., tails, comae) even though they orbit in the gas giant region where it is too cold for water to readily sublimate. Only 18 active Centaurs have been identified since 1927 and, consequently, the underlying activity mechanism(s) have remained largely unknown up to this point. Here we report the discovery of activity emanating from Centaur 2014 OG392, based on archival images we uncovered plus our own new observational evidence acquired with the Dark Energy Camera (Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory Blanco 4 m telescope), the Inamori-Magellan Areal Camera & Spectrograph (Las Campanas Observatory 6.5 m Walter Baade Telescope), and the Large Monolithic Imager (Lowell Observatory 4.3 m Discovery Channel Telescope). We detect a coma as far as 400,000 km from 2014 OG392, and our novel analysis of sublimation processes and dynamical lifetime suggest carbon dioxide and/or ammonia are the most likely candidates for causing activity on this and other active Centaurs. We find 2014 OG392 is optically red, but CO2 and NH3 are spectrally neutral in this wavelength regime so the reddening agent is as yet unidentified.
