In this paper, we analyze 10 globular clusters in order to measure their rotational properties by using high precision radial velocity data from the SDSS-IV APOGEE-2 survey. Out of were able successfully rotation speed and position angle axis for 9 (M2, M3, M5, M12, M13, M15, M53, M92, M107). The comparison between our results previous ones shows a really good agreement within uncertainties. Fo...

The prototypical post-core-collapse globular cluster M15 provides an ideal environment for the formation of exotic binaries, it being already known to contain a luminous LMXB (X2127+119, optically identified with the 17.1 hour eclipsing binary AC211) and six millisecond pulsars in the core. However, the X-ray properties of X2127+119 are strange in that it appears to be a high inclination accret...

BACKGROUND Mowing is a widely adopted management practice for the semiarid steppe in China and affects CH(4) exchange. However, the magnitude and the underlying mechanisms for CH(4) uptake in response to mowing remain uncertain. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In two consecutive growing seasons, we measured the effect of mowing on CH(4) uptake in a steppe community. Vegetation was mowed to 2 c...

Background and Aims: The rate of urinary tract infection caused by the extended-spectrum-β-lactamase- (ESBL) producing Escherichia coli (E. coli) is increasing worldwide. This study aimed to assess the frequency of blaCTX-M genes in the E. coli isolated from urinary tract infection (UTI) in outpatients. Methods: 240 E. coli bacteria were isolated from the outpatients’ urine samples in the Kerma...

AIM To estimate individual test day variability in yield and composition of Surti and Mehsani buffaloes milk at day 15 and 60 postpartum (pp). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 13 normally calved Surti and Mehsani buffaloes each maintained at Livestock Research Stations of Navsari and Sardarkrushinagar Dantiwada Agricultural Universities, respectively, were selected for the study. Milk sample ...

The luminous low-mass X-ray binary X2127+119 in the core of the globular cluster M15 (NGC 7078), which has an orbital period of 17 hours, has long been assumed to contain a donor star evolving off the main sequence, with a mass of 0.8 M⊙ (the main-sequence turn-off mass for M15). We present orbital-phase-resolved spectroscopy of X2127+119 in the Hα and He iλ6678 spectral region, obtained with t...
