In order to test the O star wind-shock scenario for X-ray production in less luminous stars with weaker winds, we made a pointed 74-ks observation of the nearby early B giant, β Crucis (β Cru; B0.5 III), with the Chandra High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer. We find that the X-ray spectrum is quite soft, with a dominant thermal component near 3 million K, and that the emission lines ar...

We translated the Canadian residential long term care versions of the Alberta Context Tool (ACT) and the Conceptual Research Utilization (CRU) Scale into German, to study the association between organizational context factors and research utilization in German nursing homes. The rigorous translation process was based on best practice guidelines for tool translation, and we previously published ...

In this study, the anti ulcerogenic effect of water extract obtained from the leaves of Pueraria Tuberosa[PT] was investigated using cold restraint stress(CRU), pyloric ligation(PL) & Ethanol induced (EtOH) induced gastric ulcer models in rats. The treatment with PT at higher dose significantly inhibited gastric lesions induced by CRU (76.6%), PL (80.1%) & EtOH (70.6%) respectively with equal p...

The variable star DZ Cru was thought to be a nova when it was discovered in eruption in 2003 August. This explanation was later challenged, however, when the first spectra of the object were reported. We present near infrared spectroscopy of DZ Cru obtained at the New Technology Telescope on 3 occasions, starting ∼ 1.5 years after outburst, with the aim of establishing the nature of the object....

Ornement et auxiliaire de la sociabilité mondaine, les vins servis à table, dans nouvelles réalistes fin du xixe siècle, accompagnent conversation préparent le moment Récit. Il importe que légère ébriété des convives favorise leur attention sans entraver tout fait jugement : véracité l’histoire racontée, en même temps sa crudité, sont effet laissées au critère auditeurs, dont « l’hypocrite lect...

Marrow cells from male mice pretreated with 5-fluorouracil were infected with helper-free neomycin-resistant (neor) recombinant retrovirus and then used to initiate long-term cultures (LTC) on irradiated adherent marrow feeder layers. Four weeks later LTC cells were harvested and injected into lethally irradiated female recipients either alone or together with 2 x 10(5) female marrow cells with...
