In a previous paper [Y. Dain and R. M. Lueptow, J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 109, 1955 (2001)], a model of acoustic attenuation due to vibration-translation and vibration-vibration relaxation in multiple polyatomic gas mixtures was developed. In this paper, the model is improved by treating binary molecular collisions via fully pairwise vibrational transition probabilities. The sensitivity of the model ...

We present results and first epoch parsec-scale images from a monitoring program on five γ–ray loud blazars selected on the basis of their total flux density variability. We observed 0048−097, 0235+164, 0954+658, 1510−089 and 1749+096 with the Very Long Baseline Array simultaneously at 8.4 GHz and 22 GHz. Comparison between our high quality images and previous results from the literature sugges...

The favorable effect of low levels of chlortetracycline (Aureomycin) in promoting an increased rate of gain in young swine is widely accepted as a contribution to our agricultural economy (Jukes, 1955). In young swine farrowed by hysterectomy and reared in isolation, with relative freedom from the more common infections to which baby pigs are exposed, significant increases in rate of growth occ...

Polarization offers a unique view in the physical processes of astrophysical jets. We report on optical circular polarization observations two famous blazars, namely 3C 279 and PKS 1510-089, at high linearly polarized states. This is first time 1510-089 observed polarization. While only upper limits can be extracted from our observing campaign, non-detection allows us to provide meaningful cons...

On the occasion of the thirty-first anniversary of the publication of The Multinational Corporation and the Law of Uneven Development by Hymer, the paper seeks to assess the relevance of Hymer’s prediction to our current understanding of the multinational company (MNC) and its role in world economic development. It argues that the largely ethnocentric type of MNC portrayed by Hymer is descripti...
