XTE J1748-288 is a black hole X-ray transient which went into outburst in 1998 June. The X-ray lightcurves showed canonical morphologies, with minor variations on the “Fast Rise Exponential Decay” profile. The radio source, however, reached an unusually high flux density of over 600 mJy. This high radio flux was accompanied by an exceptional (> 20%) fractional linear polarisation, the variabili...

The 10 by 10 degrees region around dynamic center of our Galaxy is known to host a large number of bright X–ray sources, most of which are low mass binary systems. While high luminosity Z–sources are especially bright in the standard X–ray band (e.g. 2–10 keV), lower luminosity systems are dominating the flux above 30 keV. The two hardest sources in the region, i.e. 1E1740.7–2942 and GRS 1758–2...

In the present study, we examined changes in immunoreactivity (ir) for the y-isoform of protein kinase C (PKC7) in mouse hippocampus in relation to spatial memory processes employing the monoclonal antibody 36G9 raised against purified PKC7. Learning and memory were assessed by performance in a free-choice spatial pattern paradigm in a hole board in which the animals learned the pattern of 4 ba...

Electron hole (radical cation) migration in DNA, where the quantum transport of an injected charge is gated in a correlated manner by the thermal motions of the hydrated counterions, is described here. Classical molecular dynamics simulations in conjunction with large-scale first-principles electronic structure calculations reveal that different counterion configurations lead to formation of st...

Background and Aim: In this study, we investigated the effect of immobilization stress during pregnancy on the spatial memory, anxiety-like behavior and brain BDNF level in F1 generation male NMRI mice. Materials and Methods: Twenty female pregnant mice were randomly divided into stress and control groups. The stress group received stress using a restraint cylinder (6 cm ID, 20 cm L) 60 min/da...

In this paper the modeling and simulation of a rectangular peg{in{hole insertion carried out by a six axis manipulator is presented. The dynamic model of the robot coupled with the assembly process model is established, where all possible contact points between the peg and the environment are monitored. Every occurring contact point represents a geometrical constraint on the robots dynamic whic...

We introduce a set of scalar fields as test fields to study the dynamical behaviors of the BTZ(Banados-Teitelboim-Zanelli) black hole. These include minimally coupled scalar, conformally coupled scalar, dilaton, and tachyon. To calculate the decay rate of the BTZ black hole, we consider both the Dirichlet boundary condition at spatial infinity and the stability condition. It turns out that the ...

These include minimally coupled scalar, conformally coupled scalar, and dilaton. To calculate the decay rate of the BTZ black hole, we consider both the Dirichlet boundary condition at spatial infinity and the matching procedure. It turns out that the dilaton is...

We present the spacetime of a five-dimensional static black hole within EinsteinMaxwell theory. The solution represents a Kaluza-Klein black hole, whereby the solution is wholly five-dimensional near the horizon, but becomes effectively fourdimensional (with a compact fifth dimension) at the spatial infinity. The black-hole is electrically charged and so has two horizons, with a horizon geometr...

We present the second Multi-Epoch X-ray Serendipitous AGN Sample (MEXSAS2), extracted from the 6th release of the XMM Serendipitous Source Catalog (XMMSSCDR6), cross-matched with Sloan Digital Sky Survey quasar catalogs DR7Q and DR12Q. Our sample also includes the available measurements for masses, bolometric luminosities, and Eddington ratios. Analyses of the ensemble structure function and sp...
