We present the first radial velocity curve of the companion star to BW Cir that demonstrates the presence of a black hole in this X-ray transient that recorded outbursts in 1987 and 1997 (and possibly 1971–1972). We identify weak absorption features corresponding to a G0–5 III donor star, strongly veiled by a residual accretion disk that contributes 61%–65% of the total light at 6300 . The Dopp...

BACKGROUND Relational agents (RAs) are electronic computational figures designed to engage participants in the change process. A recent study, Project RAISE, tested the effectiveness of RAs, combined with existing computer-based interventions to increase regular exercise and sun protection behaviors. Results showed these interventions can be effective but need further development. OBJECTIVE T...

When different time periods are considered, detection of past and present changes in land cover enabled, also for quantifying qualifying those changes. Land cover/use maps the primary tools management conservation natural man-made areas. For this, remote sensing bands reflected spectrum usually used, leaving aside thermal data. The objective this work was to evaluate inclusion band (b10) TIRS (...

Problems of Chinese Citrus Fly (CCF), Bactrocera minax (Enderlein) in citrus orchards have been increasing Nepal. The reason behind the failure CCF control is lack a clear and thorough understanding adult emergence period different altitudes. Therefore, pupae were collected from soil below infested sweet orange trees Sunapati Rural Municipality, Ramechhap, Nepal reared containers height 5 cm di...

The state estimation algorithm estimates the values of variables based on measurement model described as system equations. Prior to applying algorithm, existence and uniqueness solution underlying equations is determined through observability analysis. If a unique does not exist, analysis defines observable islands further an additional set (measurements) needed determine solution. For first ti...
