description: Context. Establishing the multiplicity of O-type stars is the first step towards accurately determining their stellar parameters. Moreover, the distribution of the orbital parameters provides observational clues to the way that O-type stars form and to the interactions during their evolution. Aims. Our objective is to constrain the multiplicity of a sample of O-type stars belonging to poorly investigated OB associations in the Cygnus complex and for the first time to provide orbital parameters for binaries identified in our sample. Such information is relevant to addressing the issue of the binarity in the context of O-type star formation scenarios. Methods. We performed a long-term spectroscopic survey of nineteen O-type stars. We searched for radial velocity variations to unveil binaries on timescales from a few days up to a few years, on the basis of a large set of optical spectra. Results. We confirm the binarity for four objects: HD193443, HD228989, HD229234 and HD194649. We derive for the first time the orbital solutions of three systems, and we confirm the values of the fourth, showing that these four systems all have orbital periods shorter than 10 days. Besides these results, we also detect several objects that show non-periodic line profile variations in some of their spectral lines. These variations mainly occur in the spectral lines, that are generally affected by the stellar wind and are not likely to be related to binarity. Conclusions. The minimal binary fraction in our sample is estimated to be 21%, but it varies from one OB association to the next. Indeed, 33% of O stars belonging to CygOB1 are binary systems, 0% in CygOB3, 0% in CygOB8, and 33% in CygOB9. Our spectroscopic investigation also stresses the absence of long-period systems among the stars in our sample...

description: We derive the off-shell photon propagator and fermion-photon vertex at one-loop level in Maxwell-Chern-Simons quantum electrodynamics in arbitrary covariant gauge, using four-component spinors with parity-even and parity-odd mass terms for both fermions and photons. We present our results using a basis of two, three and four point integrals, some of them not known previously in the literature. These integrals are evaluated in arbitrary space-time dimensions so that we reproduce results derived earlier under certain limits.

description: We consider the pionic atom spectroscopy by the (d,3He) reaction on an odd-neutron nuclear target in this article, which has not been investigated so far. In the (d,3He) reaction on the odd-neutron nuclear target, we can observe the pionic states in the even-neutron nucleus with spin-parity 0+. We expect that this pionic state does not have the additional shifts due to the effects of the residual interaction between neutron-hole and pionic states. For the even-neutron nuclear target cases, we may have to take into account the residual interaction effects to deduce the binding energies of the pionic states precisely from the high precision experimental data since the final pionic states are the pion-particle plus neutron-hole states. Thus, in addition to widening the domain of the pionic atom spectroscopy in nuclear chart, the present study of the (d,3He) reaction on the odd-neutron target is considered to be important to deduce extremely precise information on the binding energies of the observed pionic states, and to know the pion properties and aspects of the symmetries of the strong interaction at finite density. We modify the formula of the even-even nuclear target case to study the pionic atom formation spectra on the even-odd nuclear target and show the numerical results of 117Sn target case. This experiment will be performed at RIBF/RIKEN in near future.

description: We develop a complete Dirac's canonical analysis for an alternative action that yields Maxwell's four-dimensional equations of motion. We study in detail the full symmetries of the action by following all steps of Dirac's method in order to obtain a detailed description of symmetries. Our results indicate that such an action does not have the same symmetries than Maxwell theory, namely, the model is not a gauge theory and the number of physical degrees of freedom are different.
The effect of fluctuations - thermal and otherwise - on the temperature dependence of thermopower in aromatic chain single-molecule junctions

description: We report a theoretical study of the thermopower of single-molecule junctions, with focus on phenyl-based molecular junctions. In contrast to prior studies, thermal fluctuations of the torsional angle between the phenyl rings and variations in the position of the molecular level alignment with respect to the electrode Fermi energy were both taken into account. Full thermopower histograms were obtained, and their dependence on the magnitude of the fluctuations was studied. We found that at large molecular orbital variations the thermopower becomes strongly dependent on the torsion angle and can even change sign. This results in a marked effect of fluctuations on the thermopower distribution, yielding an average thermopower at high temperatures that differs (smaller or larger) from the fluctuation-free value, depending on the strength of fluctuations. We therefore conclude that fluctuations should be taken into account both when extracting single-molecule parameters, such as the molecular level-Fermi level offset, and in predictions of the thermopower of molecular junctions.

description: Various methods have been used in the past 50 years to apply Quasi-static load to a seat in the rear direction and measure seat performance in rear impacts. This study compared five of the most-common test procedures to evaluate seats. In addition, occupant mass and center of gravity are discussed as important characteristics of rear loading of seats. Data was collected and analyzed from five different seat pull tests, including FMVSS 207, modified FMVSS 207, QST, body block and FRED II. Test data included peak force, moment and angle at peak moment. Occupant loading height of was determined using body segment weights and position in the forward (x) and vertical (z) directions based on anthropometry data. Some of the inherent differences in the tests are shown by comparing data with the same seat structure. The QST and FRED II use a lower height of loading than FMVSS 207. The QST and FRED II peak moment and force did not coincide with the same seatback angle as in FMVSS 207 and body block testing. Center of gravity height varies depending on whether the whole body or only the upper torso is considered. For the 50th male, it is 171.5 mm (6.8”) with the whole body and 246.7 mm (9.7”) with the upper torso. Results from different tests cannot be readily compared because of different loading conditions, including body shape and height of load about the H-point, which can cause the seat structure to respond differently.

description: Serious-to-fatal injury was analyzed for second-row children aged 0–14 years and adults aged 15 and older in rear impacts by body region, restraint use, and injury mechanism using field data collected by NHTSA. 1994–2015 NASS-CDS and 2017–2020 CISS data were used to investigate the rate for Maximum Abbreviated Injury Scale (MAIS) 3 + F injury in rear crashes involving 1994+ model year vehicles. All second-row occupants were included, irrespective of restraint use and ejection status. The data were analyzed by group: children (0–14 years old) and adults (15+ years old). All available electronic files for seriously injured second-row occupants in the rear impacts were reviewed for mechanism of injury. The rate of serious injury (MAIS 3 + F) for second-row occupants was 0.93% ± 0.36% in rear crashes; it was 0.76% ± 0.39% for children and 1.22% ± 0.40% for adults. There were 2.8 AIS 3+ injuries per seriously to fatally injured occupant on average. Most serious injuries occurred to the head in children and to the head and chest in adults. Restraint use was only 31.3% for all seriously injured second-row occupants in the rear impacts. It was 45.1% for children and 17.8% for adults. The overall rate of serious injury in rear impacts was 10.0 times higher when unrestrained than restrained overall; it was 5.6 times higher for children and 20.2 times higher in adults. The case review indicated that many young children were improperly restrained or placed in the incorrect child seat. More than 17% of second-row adults were ejected; all were unrestrained. The primary mechanism for child injury was related to intrusion (86.0%). About 14% was not related to intrusion; 12.3% involved the front seat rotating rearward into the child. The primary mechanisms for adult injury differed from those for children; 68.0% was related to intrusion, 21.6% was not related to intrusion, and 10.4% involved ground impact with ejection. Of the non-intrusion-related cases, 19.1% involved acceleration forces injuring the adult and 2.5% involved the front seat rotating rearward. The primary mechanism for serious injury to second-row occupants in rear crashes was intrusion either by direct force, compression into front components, or acceleration into forward components. The front seat moving rearward was an infrequent cause for injury.

This allows us to prove the existence of solutions when the associated cone $Γ$ satisfies $μ^+_Γ\le 1$, which includes the $σ_k-$Yamabe problem for $k$ not smaller than half of the dimension of the manifold.

description: Massive gravity is a good theoretical laboratory to study modifications of General Relativity. The theory offers a concrete set-up to study models of dark energy, since it admits cosmological self-accelerating solutions in the vacuum, in which the size of the acceleration depends on the graviton mass. Moreover, non-linear gravitational self-interactions, in the proximity of a matter source, manage to mimic the predictions of linearised General Relativity, hence agreeing with solar-system precision measurements. In this article, we review our work in the subject, classifying, on one hand, static solutions, and on the other hand, self-accelerating backgrounds. For what respects static solutions we exhibit black hole configurations, together with other solutions that recover General Relativity near a source via the Vainshtein mechanism. For the self-accelerating solutions we describe a wide class of cosmological backgrounds, including an analysis of their stability.

description: Objective: The objective of this study was to determine the physical characteristics of fatal drivers in motor vehicle crashes with focus on rear impacts. Methods: 1998 to 2020 FARS data was analyzed for height, weight, and age of fatal drivers. The data was queried by gender, crash type and vehicle type. Results: The average fatal driver weighed 80.4 kg, was 173.4 cm tall, and was 43 years old. Females were 16.0 kg lighter and 14.2 cm shorter than males on average. The height was 151.2 cm for the 5th percentile female, 177.0 cm for the 50th male and 188.9 cm for the 95th male. The weight of fatal drivers increased linearly with calendar year. The increase rate was greater in females than in males. About 3% of fatal drivers were involved in rear crashes, 39.9% in frontal crashes and 36.8% in rollovers. The average fatal driver was 172.5 cm tall and weighed 81.0 kg in rear impacts. They were similar in height and weight to the overall sample. The average fatal driver in rear impacts was 46 years old, 3 years older than the overall average. Pickup truck drivers weighed 85.4 kg and were 176.8 cm tall on average. They were heavier and taller than passenger car drivers on average, which were 78.0 kg and 172.2 cm. Fatally injured minivan drivers were 10 years older than fatally injured passenger car drivers on average. The findings are compared with ATDs (anthropometric test devices) used in sled and crash testing. Conclusion: The average weight of fatal drivers increased with calendar year. The average size of fatal drivers was similar by crash types. Fatal drivers were older in rear impacts.
Observed Properties of Extrasolar Planets

description: Observational surveys for extrasolar planets probe the diverse outcomes of planet formation and evolution. These surveys measure the frequency of planets with different masses, sizes, orbital characteristics, and host star properties. Small planets between the sizes of Earth and Neptune substantially outnumber Jupiter-sized planets. The survey measurements support the core accretion model in which planets form by the accumulation of solids and then gas in protoplanetary disks. The diversity of exoplanetary characteristics demonstrates that most of the gross features of the Solar system are one outcome in a continuum of possibilities. The most common class of planetary system detectable today consists of one or more planets approximately one to three times Earth's size orbiting within a fraction of the Earth-Sun distance.

description: This study assesses the effects of seat deflection in severe oblique rear impacts with laterally out-of-position ATDs where the head is not supported by the head restraint. Six high-speed rear sled tests were conducted at 48 km/h with a 195 degree PDOF. A lap-shoulder belted 50th percentile Hybrid III ATD was leaned inboard and seated in six different front passenger seats (A-F); five of the seats were selected from mid-sized sedans and one was a non-production rigidified Seat Integrated Restraint (SIR) seat. FRED-III pull tests resulted in seat stiffnesses that varied from 73 to 172 N/mm. Seat F had the greatest stiffness. The seat and ATD responses were assessed. The biomechanical responses were evaluated and compared to relevant IARVs. In all tests the ATD moved rearward and twisted the seat. There was limited differential motion of the torso relative to the seatback. The ATD position and PDOF prevented head restraint engagement allowing head and neck extension over the seatback. The seatback angle was measured on the inboard side. At maximum yield, it was greatest with Seat E, followed by Seat A and Seat D, at 71, 67 and 62 degrees, respectively. The duration of rearward deformation was also greatest with Seat A, Seat D and Seat E providing longer ride-down. The head, chest and upper neck responses were below IARVs. Lower-neck extension moments were above injury threshold with Seat B, C and F. Seat F had the highest lower-neck moment. Seats with greater deformation provided the greatest ride-down durations and the lowest overall biomechanical responses. The combination of high impact severity and lack of head support resulted in high lower-neck responses, highlighting the potential benefit of energy management from deforming seat structures.

description: We present in this paper a new approach for the automatic annotation of medical images, using the approach of "bag-of-words" to represent the visual content of the medical image combined with text descriptors based approach tf.idf and reduced by latent semantic to extract the co-occurrence between terms and visual terms. A medical report is composed of a text describing a medical image. First, we are interested to index the text and extract all relevant terms using a thesaurus containing MeSH medical concepts. In a second phase, the medical image is indexed while recovering areas of interest which are invariant to change in scale, light and tilt. To annotate a new medical image, we use the approach of "bagof-words" to recover the feature vector. Indeed, we use the vector space model to retrieve similar medical image from the database training. The calculation of the relevance value of an image to the query image is based on the cosine function. We conclude with an experiment carried out on five types of radiological imaging to evaluate the performance of our system of medical annotation. The results showed that our approach works better with more images from the radiology of the skull.

description: Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs is one of the main contributing causes of serious road traffic crashes (RTCs). This study aimed to investigate the involvement of alcohol and drugs in driver fatalities in Norway during 2011–2020 and compare the findings with data from the previous decade. We linked the results of forensic toxicology testing for alcohol and the 17 most commonly used drugs assigned with legal limits with data on fatal road traffic crashes obtained from Statistics Norway and the Norwegian Public Roads Administration. The number of fatalities had decreased significantly since the previous decade, while the proportion of drivers and riders tested for alcohol and drug use increased. Blood alcohol concentrations at the legal limit or higher were found in 14.4% and psychoactive drugs were detected in 15.8% of the cases; 10.7% tested positive for illicit drugs, and 10.1% for medicinal drugs. The most prevalent illicit drugs were tetrahydrocannabinol (7.9%) and amphetamine/methamphetamine (4.7%), whereas the most prevalent medicinal drugs were clonazepam (3.7%) and diazepam (2.2%). There was a marked reduction in the number of motor vehicle drivers killed in RTCs compared with the previous decade, and also a reduction in the prevalence of alcohol. For other substances, there were no marked changes in the prevalence.

description: Die Untersuchung der Flusssiedlung La Motte bei Agde (Hérault, Frankreich) im Jahre 2004 hat zur Entdekkung eines bedeutenden, unberührten Depots von Bronzeobjekten geführt. Das Ensemble wurde noch nicht vollständig restauriert, doch erlauben die bereits untersuchten 330 Objekte eine vorläufige, zusammen fassende Vorlage. Es finden sich vor allem Kleidungs- und Trachtelemente, durch die das reiche Zeremonialkleid einer Frau aus dem Languedoc der frühen Eisenzeit (8. oder erste Hälfte des 7. Jahrhunderts v.Chr.) rekonstruiert werden konnte. Die typologische Untersuchung zeigt, dass die Tracht aus einer
Mischung von Einflüssen aus dem westlichen und östlichen Languedoc, der Provence und Ligurien, wie auch aus spätbronzezeitlichen Traditionselementen Ostfrankreichs und einigen typischen Objekten des
mitteleuropäischen Hallstatt C zusammengesetzt ist. Daraus lässt sich schließen, dass das einheimische Zentrum von Agde bereits in der Phase vor der Fazies Grand Bassin I (zweite Hälfte 7. / frühes 6. Jahrhundert
v.Chr.) und den wichtigen zeitgleichen Nekropolen eine besondere Bedeutung hatte. Die Untersuchung des Depots von La Motte ist auch der Anlass, die von der Frühbronzezeit bis zur Hallstattzeit reichenden Depots
mit Elementen des Zeremonialkleids einer Frau zusammenfassend vorzulegen.
description: The investigation of the river settlement of La Motte near Agde (Hérault, France) in 2004 led to the discovery of an important, undisturbed depot of bronze objects. The assemblage has not been restored in full, but the 330 objects already analysed allow a preliminary, synoptical proposal. Principally elements of clothing and costume are present, by which the rich ceremonial dress of a woman from the Languedoc of the Early Iron Age (8th or first half of 7th century B. C.) could be reconstructed. The typological analysis shows that the costume consists of a mixture of influences from the western and eastern Languedoc, the Provence and Liguria, as well as from Late Bronze Age traditional elements from eastern France and some typical objects of the Central European Hallstatt C period. It can be assumed that the native centre of Agde was of particular importance prior to the facies Grand Bassin I (second half of 7th / early 6th century B.C.) and the important, contemporary cemeteries. The investigation of the depot from La Motte has also stimulated
the comprehensive presentation of depots with elements of ceremonial female dress from the Early Bronze Age to the Hallstatt Period

description: We describe new implementations of leptonic and hadronic models for the broadband emission from relativistic jets in AGN in a temporary steady state. For the leptonic model, a temporary equilibrium between particle injection/acceleration, radiative cooling, and escape from a spherical emission region is evaluated, and the self-consistent radiative output is calculated. For the hadronic model, a temporary equilibrium between particle injection/acceleration, radiative and adiabatic cooling, and escape is evaluated for both primary electrons and protons. A new, semi-analytical method to evaluate the radiative output from cascades initiated by internal gamma-gamma pair production is presented. We use our codes to fit snap-shot spectral energy distributions of a representative set of Fermi-LAT detected blazars. We find that the leptonic model provides acceptable fits to the SEDs of almost all blazars with parameters close to equipartition between the magnetic field and the relativistic electron population. However, the hard gamma-ray spectrum of AO 0235+164, in contrast to the very steep IR-optical-UV continuum, poses a severe problem for the leptonic model. If charge neutrality in leptonic models is provided by cold protons, the kinetic energy carried by the jet should be dominated by protons. We find satisfactory representations of the snapshot SEDs of most blazars in our sample with the hadronic model presented here. However, in the case of two quasars the characteristic break at a few GeV energies can not be well modelled. All of our hadronic model fits require powers in relativistic protons in the range L_p ~ 1e47 - 1e49 erg/s.

urinary tract cancers

description: Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are emerging as important regulators in various pathological conditions including tumorigenesis, metastasis, and drug resistance in human cancers. Oncogenic or tumor suppressor ncRNAs exert prominent effects on cell proliferation, migration and invasion in cancer cells through modulating various signaling pathways including Wnt/β-catenin. Upregulation of the oncogenic Wnt/β-catenin pathway was reported to be implicated in multiple human cancers including breast, liver, colorectal, and urothelial cancers. Therefore, identifying interactions between ncRNAs and canonical Wnt signaling components may represent novel therapeutic targets for better treatment and management of cancer. In this review, we summarized the recent findings about miRNA/lncRNA-dependent mechanisms that regulate Wnt/β-catenin signaling involved in tumorigenesis and metastasis of urinary tract cancers.

description: We discuss how spreading processes on temporal networks are impacted by the shape of their inter-event time distributions. Through simple mathematical arguments and toy examples, we find that the key factor is the ordering in which events take place, a property that tends to be affected by the bulk of the distributions and not only by their tail, as usually considered in the literature. We show that a detailed modeling of the temporal patterns observed in complex networks can change dramatically the properties of a spreading process, such as the ergodicity of a random walk process or the persistence of an epidemic.

Set-Membership Constrained Conjugate Gradient Beamforming Algorithms

Year: 2013

description: In this work a constrained adaptive filtering strategy based on conjugate gradient (CG) and set-membership (SM) techniques is presented for adaptive beamforming. A constraint on the magnitude of the array output is imposed to derive an adaptive algorithm that performs data-selective updates when calculating the beamformer's parameters. We consider a linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) optimization problem with the bounded constraint based on this strategy and propose a CG type algorithm for implementation. The proposed algorithm has data-selective updates, a variable forgetting factor and performs one iteration per update to reduce the computational complexity. The updated parameters construct a space of feasible solutions that enforce the constraints. We also introduce two time-varying bounding schemes to measure the quality of the parameters that could be included in the parameter space. A comprehensive complexity and performance analysis between the proposed and existing algorithms are provided. Simulations are performed to show the enhanced convergence and tracking performance of the proposed algorithm as compared to existing techniques.

description: Incompatibilities on the sex chromosomes are important in the evolution of hybrid male sterility, but the evolutionary forces underlying this phenomenon are unclear. House mice (Mus musculus) lineages have provided powerful models for understanding the genetic basis of hybrid male sterility. X chromosome-autosome interactions cause strong incompatibilities in Mus musculus F1 hybrids, but variation in sterility phenotypes suggests a more complex genetic basis. Additionally, X-Y chromosome conflict has resulted in rapid expansions of ampliconic genes with dosage-dependent expression that is essential to spermatogenesis. Here we evaluated the contribution of X-Y lineage mismatch to male fertility and stage-specific gene expression in hybrid mice. We performed backcrosses between two house mouse subspecies to generate reciprocal Y-introgression strains and used these strains to test the effects of X-Y mismatch in hybrids. Our transcriptome analyses of sorted spermatid cells revealed widespread overexpression of the X chromosome in sterile F1 hybrids independent of Y chromosome subspecies origin. Thus, postmeiotic overexpression of the X chromosome in sterile F1 mouse hybrids is likely a downstream consequence of disrupted meiotic X-inactivation rather than X-Y gene copy number imbalance. Y-chromosome introgression did result in subfertility phenotypes and disrupted expression of several autosomal genes in mice with an otherwise non-hybrid genomic background, suggesting that Y-linked incompatibilities contribute to reproductive barriers, but likely not as a direct consequence of X-Y conflict. Collectively, these findings suggest that rapid sex chromosome gene family evolution driven by genomic conflict has not resulted in strong male reproductive barriers between these subspecies of house mice.

Grand Tour – a film in-debt(ed): Exploring the possibilities of the essayistic filmmaking form.
Creators: name: Begklis, Fotios
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2022

description: This practice-as-research thesis concentrates on the field of essayistic filmmaking. Through my practice and the written thesis, I explore how the montage of interwoven layers of images, sound, interactivity and networking connectivity can potentially expand the conventions of essayistic filmmaking practice. At the heart of my research is the creative practice of researching and developing an online essay film, Grand Tour a film in-debt(ed). The film explores an alternative reading of the recent Greek financial crisis without explicitly addressing the crisis, but in the tradition of essayistic filmmaking, by exploring the disjunctive threads that make links with the past and open the present to new interpretations. The development of Grand Tour is grounded in multiple iterative prototypes. Based on this incremental research process, I explore the possibilities of multiple interwoven layers of montage and the new creative potentials this creates for essayistic filmmaking practice. I define the montage of multiple interwoven temporalities as metabatic, and through the practice of developing Grand Tour, I suggest an alternative way of thinking about the recent Greek financial crisis which challenges the dominant narratives. My inspiration for developing Grand Tour is drawn from the writings of European travellers who visited Greece in the 18th and 19th centuries. For more than eight years I immersed myself in extensive archival research and developed several online film prototypes. Through this research I understood the role that these travellers had in the formation of the emerging modern Greek identity and explored their links to subsequent political and financial interventions and the accumulation of debt in the modern Greek state. Following the essayistic filmmaking tradition, I dialectically associate the financial debt with the cultural debt of ancient Greece, suggesting modes of ambiguity and speculative thinking that describe Greece as a place in a constantly disjointed state, defined by a series of fragmented political, economic and cultural past and present encounters. The creative process of my practice is a montage of multiple disjunctive fragments where linearity is constantly disrupted. My iterative creative practice and the disjunctive nature of the film do not offer specific answers and fixed interpretations. Instead, they suggest and explore questions, and enable new essayistic threads, that challenge the current limited narratives about the Greek financial crisis.

description: Due to delay and energy constraints, a cognitive radio may not be able to perform spectrum sensing in all available channels. Therefore, a sensing policy is needed to decide which channels to sense. The channel selection problem is the problem of designing such a sensing policy to maximize throughput while avoiding interference to primary users. The channel selection problem can be formulated as a reinforcement learning problem. Channel selection schemes that employ reinforcement machine learning algorithms are vulnerable to belief manipulation attacks that contaminate the knowledge base of the learning algorithms. In this paper, we analyze the security of channel selection algorithms that are based on reinforcement learning and propose mitigation techniques that make these algorithms more robust against belief manipulation attacks.

description: We present Herschel-HIFI, SPIRE, and PACS 50-670 μm imaging and spectroscopy of six FU Orionis-type objects and candidates (FU Orionis, V1735 Cyg, V1515 Cyg, V1057 Cyg, V1331 Cyg, and HBC 722), ranging in outburst date from 1936-2010, from the "FOOSH" (FU Orionis Objects Surveyed with Herschel) program, as well as ancillary results from Spitzer-IRS and the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. In their system properties (Lbol, Tbol, line emission), we find that FUors are in a variety of evolutionary states. Additionally, some FUors have features of both Class I and II sources: warm continuum consistent with Class II sources, but rotational line emission typical of Class I, far higher than Class II sources of similar mass/luminosity. Combining several classification techniques, we find an evolutionary sequence consistent with previous mid-IR indicators. We detect [O I] in every source at luminosities consistent with Class 0/I protostars, much greater than in Class II disks. We detect transitions of 13CO (J_up of 5 to 8) around two sources (V1735 Cyg and HBC 722) but attribute them to nearby protostars. Of the remaining sources, three (FU Ori, V1515 Cyg, and V1331 Cyg) exhibit only low-lying CO, but one (V1057 Cyg) shows CO up to J = 23 - 22 and evidence for H2O and OH emission, at strengths typical of protostars rather than T Tauri stars. Rotational temperatures for "cool" CO components range from 20-81 K, for ~ 10^50 total CO molecules. We detect [C I] and [N II] primarily as diffuse emission.
