Ionized gas and stellar kinematical parameters have been measured along the major axis of 20 nearby disc galaxies. We discuss the properties of each sample galaxy distinguishing between those characterized by regular or peculiar kinematics. In early-type disc galaxies ionized gas tends to rotate faster than stars and to have a lower velocity dispersion (Vg > V⋆ and σg < σ⋆), whereas in late-typ...

Random Walks in Random Environment (R.W.R.E.) are basic processes in random media. The one dimensional case with nearest neighbor jumps, introduced by Solomon [1975], was first studied by Kesten et al. [1975], Sinai [1982], Golosov [1984], Golosov [1986] and Kesten [1986] all these works show the diversity of the possible behaviors of such walks depending on hypothesis assumed for the environme...

The 3–20 mm IR thermal emission spectrum of comet Hale-Bopp (C/1995 O1) at a heliocentric distance of AU has been calculated using fluffy aggregates of silicate core–organic refractory mantle interstellar r 5 1.15 h dust as the comet dust model. The principal dust properties, similar to those obtained for other comets, provide good fits to the observation. Our results are significantly differen...

John M. Marsh (406) 994-5621 [email protected] Increases in the demand for cornbased ethanol have contributed to substantially higher corn prices. For example, Central Illinois corn prices increased from $1.84/bushel in the fourth quarter of 2005 to $3.28/bushel in the fourth quarter of 2006, an increase of 78.3 percent (LMIC, 2006). Much of the increase in corn prices occurred during the fall...

At the recent Alexander Graham Bell Association for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing (AG Bell) convention, I spoke up during a session supporting real-time captioning in classrooms. After all, I had recently finished my Ph.D. on this topic and knew of many studies validating their use. As soon as the session was over, I was asked by parents and educators for a reference to a specific study I had me...

or pieces of endometrium to the cheek pouch of hysterectomized animals significantly reduces the length of induced pseudopregnancy from 18 to 13\m=.\5 days (Caldwell, Mazer & Wright, 1967). These authors also reported that transplanting rat uteri to the cheek pouch also reduced pseudopregnancy in hysterectomized hamsters (14\m=.\8days), whereas the effects of transplanting rabbit uteri (15\m=.\...

Ectopic eruption of teeth in non-dental sites is a rare phenomenon; It may be symptomless but is more commonly associated with inflammatory symptoms. It can present in a variety of ways such as chronic or recurrent sinusitis, sepsis, nasolacrimal duct obstruction, headaches, ostiomeatal complex disease and facial numbness. The treatment of choice is surgical excision which is mostly carried out...
