In order to further test our hypothesis that jets and disk around compact accreting objects are symbiotic features we investigate the newly discovered superluminal galactic radio jets GRS 1915+105 and GRO J1655-40 and the two famous galactic radio jets 1E1740-2942 and SS 433 within the framework of our couple jet/disk model developed initially for active galactic nuclei (AGN) and the galactic c...

We calculate a consolidated score for the 21 European countries included in the CDI to track their pursuit of development-friendly policies. In 2014 the Center for Global Development is launching a series of discussion papers for public consultation. Our goal is to press for a broader and more informed discussion about how European policies can improve. By the end of the year, we will synthesiz...

Sarns/3M Health Care has recently introduced the CDI 500 Blood Parameter Monitoring System. In addition to parameters previously available, this system now offers continuous monitoring of the patient's oxygen consumption (VO2/min) and potassium concentration ([K+]). The purpose of this study was: (1) to compare the [K+] from the CDI 500 with the [K+] derived from our hospital's laboratory; and ...

Severe and severe complicated Clostridium difficile infections (SCDI/SCCDI) were retrospectively assessed in a pediatric cohort. Underlying medical conditions and concomitant medical therapy preclude accurate classification of children with SCDI/SCCDI, using current CDI severity definitions. Revised CDI definitions in children should focus on more objective, age-appropriate, and CDI-specific ma...

An interactive multimedia computer-assisted instruction on congenital heart disease was developed to increase nursing students' understanding of congenital heart disease. Computer-assisted instruction, with its ability to incorporate sound, visuals, and interactivity, provides a multimedia and interactive learning environment that enhances the teaching and learning process. Computer-assisted in...

Using the Internet to enhance e-learning has become a trend in modern higher education institutes. E-learning platforms are increasingly becoming a significant part of the strategy for delivering online and flexible e-learning. The advance of the multimedia learning depends mainly on the development of the information technology. Recently, technological capabilities of the multimedia are in the...

The formation of a circumplanetary disk and accretion of angular momentum onto a protoplanetary system are investigated using three-dimensional hydrodynamical simulations. The local region around a protoplanet in a protoplanetary disk is considered with sufficient spatial resolution: the region from outside the Hill sphere to the Jovian radius is covered by the nested-grid method. To investigat...

The nucleus of M31 may be a thick eccentric disk, composed of stars traveling on nearly Keplerian orbits around a black hole or other dark compact object. This hypothesis reproduces most of the features seen in HST photometry of the center of M31; in particular the bright o center source P1 is the apoapsis of the disk. An eccentric disk can also explain the rotation curve and asymmetric dispers...

Aims. We aim to study the dust distribution in central regions of Keplerian disk Red Rectangle, prototype binary post-AGB stars with rotating circumbinary disks, and compare it relevant molecular gas tracers. Methods. present new high-resolution (20 milliarcseconds, mas) ALMA observations continuum line emissions at 0.9 mm. The maps have been analyzed by means a simple model free–free emission ...
