We estimate the number of old, radiative supernova remnants (SNRs) detectable in Hi 21-cm emission line in the Galaxy. We assume that old SNRs consist of expanding Hi shells and that they are visible if the line-of-sight velocities are sufficiently outside the velocity range of the Galactic background Hi emission. This criterion of visibility makes it possible to calculate the background contam...

Use of formal methods in verification activities for critical software development is a promising solution to increase the level of confidence compared to the current practice based on testing, for increasingly complex programs, at a lower cost than the current approach. Concretely, the upcoming standard DO-178C for software development in avionics gives credit to formal verification for suppor...

Two-dimensional photoelectron spectroscopy of hydrogen iodide (HI) has been performed in the photon energy region of 11.10-14.85 eV, in order to investigate dynamical properties on autoionization and neutral dissociation of Rydberg states HI*(RA) converging to HI+(A 2Sigma1/2(+)). A two-dimensional photoelectron spectrum exhibits strong vibrational excitation of HI+(X 2Pi) over a photon energy ...

As a basic step for establishing the CO-line Tully-Fisher relation for distant galaxies, we made a comparative study of HI versus CO line profiles. Total line profiles of the CO line emission from 32 galaxies have been compared with the corresponding HI emission. We found a good correlation between the profiles of CO and HI. This strongly supports the thesis that CO can be used in the Tully-Fis...

Male neonate brains are more susceptible to the effects of perinatal asphyxia resulting in hypoxia and ischemia (HI)-related brain injury. The relative resistance of female neonatal brains to adverse consequences of HI suggests that there are sex-specific mechanisms that afford females greater neuroprotection and/or facilitates recovery post-HI. We hypothesized that HI preferentially induces es...

The potential energy surface for the Hz-I2 system was determined in analytic variational electronic structure calculations with singleand double-substitution configuration interactions for the 16 valence electrons and with effective potentials for the iodine core electrons. The favored pathway for the overall reaction H,+I,d HI + HI was found to pass through the region of the collinear configur...
