We propose a planet formation scenario to explain the elevated occurrence rates of transiting planets around M dwarfs compared sun-like stars discovered by Kepler. use pebble drift and accretion model simulate growth cores inside outside snow line. A smaller size interior line delays super-Earths, allowing giant in outer disk form first. When those reach isolation mass they cut off flow pebbles...

A sequence of eight twice-daily meals, each marked with different rare earth elements, was fed to 24 Spanish goats (BW = 20.6 +/- 1.94 kg) to produce meal-based profiles of rare earth markers within segments of the gastrointestinal digesta on subsequent slaughter. Accumulative mean residence time and time delay of rare earths and segmental and accumulative mean residence times of indigestible N...

In binary radio pulsars with a main-sequence star companion, the spin-induced quadrupole moment of the companion gives rise to a precession of the binary orbit. As a first approximation one can model the secular evolution caused by this classical spin-orbit coupling by linear-in-time changes of the longitude of periastron and the projected semi-major axis of the pulsar orbit. This simple repres...

In the first volume of his Physical and chemical essays (1779), Torbern Bergman, professor of chemistry and pharmacy at Uppsala in Sweden, discussed the chemical analysis of natural waters, including mineral waters. He remarked that when a weighed quantity of a mineral water was evaporated to dryness the weight of the residues usually amounted to no more than a minute fraction of the original w...

Abstract We expect satellites at altitude below 300 km, very low Earth orbit (VLEO), making observations of the optical wavelength with increasingly higher resolution. The density atomic oxygen (AO) VLEO is significantly than that LEO; severe degradation spacecraft materials (polymers) due to high-flux AO a serious concern. To clarify environmental effects on materials, we designed Material Deg...

myoepithelioma is a rare neoplasm of the salivary glands, generally occurring in the parotid gland and less often in the minor accessory salivary glands of the oral cavity. it is known to be a rare entity occurring at unusual locations, which makes it difficult to diagnose. such a rare case of myoepithelioma in salivary glands present at an unusual location around the left orbit is presented here.
