We follow the evolution of IC10 X-1, the extragalactic binary hosting the most massive known stellar black hole with the mass of at least 23 M⊙. A massive companion of this black hole is a 35 M⊙ helium star that will very soon form another black hole. We demonstrate that this system will become a close double black hole binary with coalescence time of ∼ 2 − 3Gyr. We estimate that a detection ra...

We review the formation scenarios for binary black holes, and show that their co-alescence rate depends very strongly on the outcome of the second mass transfer. However, the observations of IC10 X-1, an binary with a massive black hole accreting from a Wolf-Rayet star proves that this mass transfer can be stable. We analyze the future evolution of IC10 X-1 and show that it is very likely to fo...

We present in this work the process of annotating data from the medical domain using gazetteers used as reference for the annotation. The process combines semantic web technology and NLP concepts. The application is proposed in this eHealth challenge for multilingual extraction of IC10 codes. The first results give some directions on which aspects of the workflow to improve to make a better sys...

Proven conventional dosimetry techniques do not provide accuracy and precision in the measurement of inverse planned intensity modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) fields. Dynamic and step-and-shoot multileaf collimation (DMLC/SMLC) challenge current ionization chamber dosimetry practices. Ionization chamber performance in these fields is evaluated for three cylindrical chambers of varying volume...

We review the properties of GMCs in a number of different nearby galaxies based largely on observations made with the Nagoya NANTEN telescope in Chile and the BIMA Array. Observations made with these telescopes resolve the molecular gas into individual GMCs in the LMC, SMC, M33, M31, IC10, and M64. In five galaxies, the LMC, SMC, M33, M31 and IC10, the CO has been surveyed in its entirety. The ...

In this study we have focused on the response of SKBR-3 cells to both single 17-DMAG treatment as well as its combination with photodynamic therapy with hypericin. Low concentrations of 17-DMAG without any effect on survival of SKBR-3 cells significantly reduced metabolic activity, viability and cell number when combined with photodynamic therapy with hypericin. Moreover, IC10 concentation of 1...
