We tested two hypotheses: first, that the inferior anoxia tolerance of the softshell turtle, Apalone spinifera, compared to the western painted turtle, Chrysemys picta bellii, is related to its less mineralized shell, and second, that turtle bone, like its shell, stores lactate during prolonged anoxia. Lactate concentrations of blood, hindlimb bone, and shell were measured on normoxic Apalone a...

Detailed experiments, including high spin non-yrast states, were, recently, performed for N~Z medium-heavy nuclei, for instance, 66Ge [1], 68Ge [2] and 69As[3]. On the other hand, recently the spherical shell model has become capable of calculating A=60-70 nuclei in the pf5/2g9/2 shell. As residual interaction, isospin invariant extended P+QQ interaction, which has been proposed by Hasegawa and...

The phase of Super-Soft-Source (SSS) emission of the sixth recorded outburst of the recurrent nova RSOph was observed twice with Chandra and once with XMM-Newton. The observations were taken on days 39.7 (Chandra), 54.0 (XMM-Newton), and 66.9 (Chandra) after outburst. We confirm a ∼ 35sec period on day 54.0 and found that it originates from the SSS emission and not from the shock. We discus the...

We present the analytical solution of a maser shaped like a spherical shell. We determine the general condition on the size of the central cavity at which a sphere becomes a shell maser, and derive the intensity, beaming angle and observed size of both unsaturated and saturated shells.

Recent phylogenies unite two seemingly very different groups of mollusc: the Polyplacophora with multiple shells and the shell-less Aplacophora. The finding of seven muscle rows in larvae of both classes suggests that polyplacophoran-like shell rows have been lost in adult Aplacophora.

Novel urchin-like core/shell composite hollow spheres were fabricated by assembly of nickel nanocones on the surface of hollow glass spheres; the effects of some reaction parameters on the morphology of the shell layers and the room temperature magnetic properties of the products were investigated.

The structure of the first sharp diffraction peak (FSDP) amorphous silicon (${\it a}$-Si) near 2 Angstrom$^{-1}$ is addressed with particular emphasis on position, intensity, and width curve. By studying a number continuous random network (CRN) models ${\it a}$-Si, it shown that position intensity FSDP are primarily determined by radial atomic correlations in length scale 15 Angstroms. A shell-...

Abstract We present observations and analysis of the hostless luminous Type Ia supernova 2022ilv, illustrating it is part 2003fg-like family, often referred to as super-Chandrasekhar (Ia-SC) explosions. The Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System light curve shows evidence a short-lived, pulse-like early excess, similar that detected in another (SN 2020hvf). broad, spectra are remarkably ...

The intermittent dynamics of the turbulent Gledzer, Ohkitani, and Yamada shell-model is completely characterized by a single type of burstlike structure, which moves through the shells like a front. This temporal structure is described by the dynamics of the instantaneous configuration of the shell amplitudes, revealing an approximate chaotic attractor of the dynamics.
