Context. We present SEST observations of the molecular environment ahead of the southern Herbig-Haro object 188 (HH 188), associated with the low-mass protostar Re 4 IRS. We have also used the SuperCosmos Hα survey to search for Hα emission associated with the Re 4 IRS – HH 188 region. Aims. The aim of the present work is to study the properties of the molecular gas and to better characterize t...

OBJECTIVES Distortion-product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) collected after sound pressure level (SPL) calibration are susceptible to standing waves that affect measurements at the plane of the probe microphone due to overlap of incident and reflected waves. These standing-wave effects can be as large as 20 dB, and may affect frequencies both above and below 4 kHz. It has been shown that forwa...

PURPOSE At stage II surgery during dental implant treatment, early marginal bone loss around the implant occasionally occurs despite a lack of apparent causal events, and the etiology of this bone loss is unclear. This study was designed to investigate whether the bone morphogenetic protein-4 (BMP-4) genetic polymorphism is associated with early marginal bone loss around implants. MATERIALS A...

Abstract The interactions of D̄Σc-D̄Λc, D̄ Σc-D̄ Λc, and related strangeness channels, are studied within the framework of the coupled channel unitary approach with the local hidden gauge formalism. A series of meson-baryon dynamically generated relatively narrowN∗ and Λ∗ resonances are predicted around 4.3 GeV in the hidden charm sector. We make estimates of production cross sections of these pred...
