Observations with the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), conducted since 1990, now offer an unprecedented glimpse into fast astrophysical shocks in the young remnant of supernova 1987A. Comparing observations taken in 2010 with the use of the refurbished instruments on HST with data taken in 2004, just before the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph failed, we find that the Lyα and Hα lines from sho...

The sergestid shrimp, Sergia lucens is one of the major marine resources in the waters off southwestern Taiwan. The maximum sustainable yield (MSY), total allowable catch (TAC) and fishing effort at MSY (EMSY) of the sergestid shrimp in this area were estimated to be 1008 tons, 907 tons and 11292 vessel-day, respectively by using the surplus production model with deterministic observation-error...

We define the class of sporadic dynamical systems as the systems where the algorithmic complexity of Kolmogorov [Kolmogorov, A. N. (1983) Russ. Math. Surv. 38, 29-40] and Chaitin [Chaitin, G. J. (1987) Algorithmic Information Theory (Cambridge Univ. Press, Cambridge, U.K.)] as well as the logarithm of separation of initially nearby trajectories grow as n(v(0) )(log n)(v(1) ) with 0 < v(0) < 1 o...

Bacteriol. 88:1240-1243. 1964.-Ethanol in a concentration of 85% permits separation from crude culture supernatant fluids of the common enterobacterial antigen and the O antigen, the former being ethanol-soluble, the latter being ethanol-...

This paper summarizes the results from the engineering effort during Phase I of the ARIES-CS study, covering the different blanket configurations and maintenance schemes that were considered and assessed. The main design parameters are summarized and key issues are discussed including the impact of different physics configurations on the engineering choices. These results will be used as the ba...

a Tdenzification of a 32 kDaiton protein in the bovine retinal pigment epithelium. Hethods A bovine retinal pigment epithelium cDNA library wa* constructed and immunologically screened with monoclonai antibody 21-C3/AV. A positive full-length clone, 21-C3RDH/CD, wan sequenced. Northern blot analysis were performed to analyze the tissue expression pattern. In order 'co analyze the function of th...

BACKGROUND Coincident with the proliferation of employer-provided mobile communication devices, personal communication devices, including basic and enhanced mobile phones (smartphones) and tablet computers that are owned by the user, have become ubiquitous among registered nurses working in hospitals. While there are numerous benefits of personal communication device use by nurses at work, litt...
