We present new observations of the nebular remnant of the old nova GK Persei 1901, in the optical using the Himalayan Chandra Telescope (HCT) and at low radio frequencies using the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT). The previous such study was by Seaquist et al (1989, hereafter S89). The dimensions of the shell in the optical emission lines of [NII], [OIII] and [OII] are 108×94 arcsec, 104...

We present Chandra X-ray observations of the young supernova remnant (SNR) 0509−67.5 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), believed to be the product of a Type Ia supernova (SN Ia). The remnant is very round in shape, with a distinct clumpy shell-like structure that extends to an average radius of 14.8 ′′ (3.6 pc) in the X-ray band. Our Chandra data reveal the remnant to be rich in silicon, sulf...

We study neutrino emission from the remnant of an inspiraling binary neutron star following coalescence. The mass of the merged remnant is likely to exceed the stability limit of a cold, rotating neutron star. However, the angular momentum of the remnant may also approach or even exceed the Kerr limit, J/M = 1, so that total collapse may not be possible unless some angular momentum is dissipate...

BACKGROUND Liver remnant function limits major liver resections to generally leave patients with ≥2 Couinaud segments. Associating Liver Partition and Portal vein ligation for Staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) induces extensive hypertrophy and allows surgeons to perform extreme liver resections. METHODS The international ALPPS registry (NCT01924741; 2011-2014) was screened for novel resection type w...

Growth of the remnant embryonic kidney (the mesonephros), as expressed by wet weight, was more rapid in the chick embryos with experimentally induced unilateral renal agenesis compared to controls. The difference was significant between embryonic days 8-12, when the doubled weights of remnant kidneys were increased compared with the weights of paired control kidneys. The excessive growth of the...

Previous studies have reported that pentoxifylline, a phosphodiesterase inhibitor, attenuates experimental mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. This study hypothesized that pentoxifylline could also attenuate the renal disease progression in rats with remnant kidney. After 5/6 subtotal nephrectomy, rats developed progressively elevated proteinuria and plasma creatinine, glomerulosclerosi...

True polar wander (TPW), a reorientation of the rotation axis relative to the solid body, is driven by mass redistribution on the surface or within the planet and is stabilized by two aspects of the planet’s viscoelastic response: the delayed viscous readjustment of the rotational bulge and the elastic stresses in the lithosphere. The latter, following Willemann (1984), is known as remnant bulg...

Reconstructing prairie habitat is one of the most promising techniques for conserving the imperiled prairie ecosystem and its associated organisms. However, the degree to which reconstructed prairies function like remnant prairies has not been fully examined. We evaluated the eVect of restoration planting prescriptions, as well as vegetative quality on butterXy communities inhabiting prairie re...

We present a spatially resolved spectroscopic study of the thermal composite supernova remnant Kes 27 with Chandra. The X-ray spectrum of Kes 27 is characterized by K lines from Mg, Si, S, Ar, and Ca. The X-ray emitting gas is found to be enriched in sulphur and calcium. The broadband and tri-color images show two incomplete shell-like features in the northeastern half and brightness fading wit...
