The gas kinetic temperature ( T K ) determines the physical and chemical evolution of interstellar medium (ISM). This work explores use HCN/HNC (J=1–0) line ratio as new probe in molecular ISM. Based on a set IRAM-30m observations at 30 arcsec resolution towards Orion Nebula Cluster, we find two-part linear correlation observed . empirical calibration allows to obtain direct estimates values ac...

BACKGROUND Minor physical anomalies (MPAs) have been found to be more prevalent in schizophrenia than control participants in numerous studies and may index a potential endophenotype for schizophrenia. AIM To quantitatively define the magnitude of the difference in total MPA scores between patients with schizophrenia and healthy controls; to determine the degree of manifestation in unaffected...

While the general public typically perceives lipids and fats as 'harmful' components of the diet (as in the popular slogan: 'fat kills'), the scientific story is in fact very different. Among the major scientific research efforts of the recent period, in the area of neuroscience, we find the recognition of the 'essential fatty acids' (EFA). The profound effects of various fatty acids, and equal...

The number (1 + √ 5)/2 = 1.618 … is widely known as the golden ratio, φ and phi. Phi appears in many different equations and formulas and has many interesting properties. Many people have heard marvelous tales about phi and how it permeates art and nature. My first exposure to phi was in a comic book entitled Donald in Mathmagic Land, which later became an animated cartoon seen by millions of p...
