morphology or heart or kidney measurements were evident postmortem. At the tissue-bone interface, mean ∆T in vivo (1.27oC) were lower than postmortem (1.68oC) or in phantoms (1.47oC), with reductions 1mm from the focus. At 2mm from the focus, mean ∆T for all groups were approx. 1oC. The highest ∆T in a live animal was 2.92oC.Conclusions: UBM appears not to generate gross biological effects in m...

We have made deep Chandra observations of three powerful Fanaroff-Riley type II (FR II) radio sources: two quasars (3C 263 and 3C 351) and one radio galaxy (3C 330). X-ray emission from hot spots and lobes, as well as from the active nucleus, is detected in each source. We model the hot spots’ synchrotron spectra using VLA, BIMA, and Hubble Space Telescope data. In 3C 263 and 3C 330, the hot sp...

In this paper, we investigate Jordan ∗-homomorphisms on C∗-algebras associated with the following functional inequality ‖f( b−a 3 ) + f( a−3c 3 ) + f( 3a+3c−b 3 )‖ ≤ ‖f(a)‖. We moreover prove the superstability and the generalized Hyers-Ulam stability of Jordan ∗homomorphisms on C∗-algebras associated with the following functional equation f( b− a 3 ) + f( a− 3c 3 ) + f( 3a+ 3c− b 3 ) = f(a).

While the early start and higher intensity of the 2012/13 influenza A virus (IAV) epidemic was not unprecedented, it was the first IAV epidemic season since the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic where the H3N2 subtype predominated. We directly sequenced the genomes of 154 H3N2 clinical specimens collected throughout the epidemic to better understand the evolution of H3N2 strains and to inform the H3...

Throughout this note G denotes a discrete group. A G-complex is a CPP-complex on which G acts by cellular maps such that the fixed point set of any element of G is a subcomplex. On the category of pairs of G-complexes and equivariant homotopy classes of maps, an equivariant cohomology theory is a sequence of contravariant functors 3C into the category of abelian groups together with natural tra...

We present infrared imaging of a sample of 11 hot spots in the lobes of powerful radio galaxies. We have detected infrared counterparts to the hot spots in 3C 20West, 3C 33 South, 3C 111East and 3C 303West all of which have known optical counterparts as well. In addition, we detected the radio jet of 3C 303 in the near infrared. Four other hot spots, those in 3C 20East, 3C 65 (both sides), and ...

Archival Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images were used to search for optical emission associated with the radio jets of a number of luminous quasars. From this search, we report new optical hotspot detections in the wellknown blazar 3C 454.3 and the lobe-dominated quasars 3C 275.1 and 3C 336. We also find optical emission in the vicinity of the hotspot in 3C 208, but believe this is a chance al...

Recently multi-block collision attacks (MBCA) were found on the Merkle-Damg̊ard (MD)-structure based hash functions MD5, SHA-0 and SHA-1. In this paper, we introduce a new cryptographic construction called 3C devised by enhancing the MD construction. We show that the 3C construction is at least as secure as the MD construction against single-block and multi-block collision attacks. This is the f...

Parsec scale Faraday rotation measure maps are presented for the radio galaxies M87, 3C 111, and 3C 120. These VLBA observations were made at 8, 12, and 15 GHz. M87 has an extreme RM distribution which varies from −4000 rad m −2 to more than 9000 rad m −2 across a projected distance of 0.3 parsecs in its jet. M87 has no polarized flux closer than 17 mas from the core. 3C 111 and 3C 120 both sho...
