چکیده

We present the preliminary results of our 5-configuration, 20-pointing mosaic with the Australia Telescope Compact Array of the neutral hydrogen in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6744. The bulk of the HI resides in a ‘ring’ underlying the outer optical disk, with 2 HI spiral arms extending further out to almost 1 ·5 optical radii. The velocity field is fairly regular, apart from evidence for streaming motions along the HI arms, and the influence of the companion IB(s)m galaxy NGC 6744A. We associate a cloud of HI at a heliocentric velocity of 846 km s−1 with another companion object, ESO 104−g44. Our attempts to construct a mass model for NGC 6744 suffer from poor resolution in the inner disk, and the uncertainty in the total HI flux of NGC 6744. We anticipate that HIPASS observations will be crucial in resolving the latter issue.

Critical Analysis of Moral Utilitarianism in the View of John Stuart Mill From the Perspective of Allameh Ja’fari

Moral utilitarianism is one of the issues underlying utilitarianism among Western thinkers. At the forefront of this debate is John Stuart Mill, who found out the utilitarianism of morality after designing the classical liberalism in the realm of morality based on the philosophical basis of utilitarianism. To him, utilitarianism in life brings about most happiness for a person. The goal and pur...

Binaries in the Young LMC Cluster NGC 1850 Stuart

I present light curves for two detached eclipsing binary stars in the region of the LMC cluster NGC 1850, which is possibly a young globular cluster still in formation. One, a likely spectral type O star, is a newly detected eclipsing binary in the region of the very young subcluster NGC 1850A. This binary is among a small number of highly massive O-type stars in binary systems found in LMC clu...

Ultrastructural Changes in Spinal Motoneurons and Locomotor Functional Study after Sciatic Nerve Repair in Conduit Tube

Objective(s) Motor deficit and neuron degeneration is seen after nerve transection. The aim of this study is to determine whether a poled polyvinelidene fluoride (PVDF) tube with other supportive strategies can protect the neuronal morphology and motor function after sciatic nerve transaction in rats. Materials and Methods After transection of the left sciatic nerve in 60 male Wistar rats (2...
