We present high angular resolution (0. 6) observations made with the Very Large Array (VLA) of the radio continuum at 8.3 and 43 GHz as well as H92α and H53α radio recombination lines (RRLs) from the nearby (∼3 Mpc) starburst galaxy M82. In the continuum we identify 58 sources at 8.3 GHz from which 19 have no counterparts in catalogs published at other frequencies. At 43 GHz we identify 18 sour...

The compact non-thermal sources in M 82 and other starburst galaxies are generally thought to be supernova remnants (SNRs). We consider an alternative hypothesis that most are wind driven bubbles (WDBs) associated with very young super star clusters (SSCs). In this scenario, the synchrotron emitting particles are produced at the site of the shock transition between the cluster wind and the hot ...

The two nearby starburst galaxies M82 and NGC 253 were observed for ∼ 100 ksec over a 10-month period in 1997. An increase of the M82 flux by a factor ∼ 2 was measured during the period July-November, when compared with the flux measured earlier in 1997. The flux measured in the field centered on M82 includes ∼ 38% of the emission from the Seyfert 1 galaxy M81. The best-fitting model for the ea...

We used videography to investigate direct lateral maneuvers, i.e. ‘sideslips’, of the hawkmoth Manduca sexta. M. sexta sideslip by rolling their entire body and wings to reorient their net force vector. During sideslip they increase net aerodynamic force by flapping with greater amplitude, (in both wing elevation and sweep), allowing them to continue to support body weight while rolled. To exec...

In female rats, food intake is reduced during the period in the estrous cycle when the rat is sexually receptive and ovulation is imminent (Wade and Gray, 1979). By contrast, food intake is increased during lactation in the postpartum period (Linden et al, 1990) and sexual behaviour and ovulation are inhibited (Sodersten et al, 1983). There are several examples demonstrating that the neuroendoc...

Strontium-82 is produced by proton activation of a rubidium chloride target in an accelerator or cyclotron and purified by ion exchange chromatography. The Strontrium-82 is used in Cardigen generators to produce Rubidium-82 for cardiac imaging. Quality control testing of the purified Strontium-82 is performed with Inductively Coupled Plasma-Optical Emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES) and gamma spec...

We investigated the effect of intraspecific competition on growth parameters and photosynthesis of the salt marsh species Atriplex prostrata Boucher in order to distinguish the effects of densitydependent growth inhibition from salt stress. High plant density caused a reduction of 30% in height, 82% in stem dry mass, 80% in leaf dry mass, and 95% in root dry mass. High density also induced a pr...

In this study, it was aimed to determine the length and weight relationships (LWRs) Fulton’s condition factors (K) for three commercial fish species in ?skenderun bay. For purpose, tub gurnard (Chelidonichthys lucerne, Linnaeus, 1758), sand soles (Pegusa lascaris, Risso, 1810), gilthead seabream (Sparus aurata, 1758) were collected by a single artisanal fisherman during September- December mont...
