In their transmission electron microscope (TEM) study of the rabbit kidney, Elias et al. (1964, 1966) reported an occurrence of "podocytic membranes" which were attenuated parts of the body of the podocytes covering the processes and pedicels of podocytes and forming closed spaces, "subpodocytic lacunae" (Fig. 1, 2). In this scanning electron microscope (SEM) study, we demonstrate the three-dim...

PROVIDENCE – Jack Elias, MD, chairman of the Department of Medicine at the Yale School of Medicine and physician-in-chief of Yale-New Haven Hospital since 2006, has been appointed seventh dean of medicine and biological sciences at Brown University. He succeeds Dr. Edward J. Wing, who became dean in 2008, and stepped down from the position July 1. Dr. Elias will assume his position on Sept. 1. ...

We have obtained the full 1-200 μm spectrum of the low luminosity (36 L⊙) Class I protostar Elias 29 in the ρ Ophiuchi molecular cloud. It provides a unique opportunity to study the origin and evolution of interstellar ice and the interrelationship of interstellar ice and hot core gases around low mass protostars. We see abundant hot CO and H2O gas, as well as the absorption bands of CO, CO2, H...

We present a 5 ′ ×5 ′ integrated intensity map of 12 CO (J = 3−2) emission from the ρ Ophiuchi cloud core that traces low-luminosity outflow emission from two protostars: Elias 29 and, most likely, LFAM 26. The morphology of the outflow from Elias 29 is bipolar and has a curved axis that traces the S-shaped symmetry seen in H 2 emission. The outflow from LFAM 26 is a new detection and oriented ...

We present near-IR Adaptive Optics (AO) dual polarimetric observations of Elias 2–29, a Class I protostar in the Rho Ophiuchi star forming region. The main goal of these observations is to analyze the close environment of Elias 2–29 in order to derive the properties of its circumstellar disk and envelope. Elias 2–29 is known to be surrounded by circumstellar material (e.g. Boogert et al. 2000)....

This paper discusses the problem of using data compression for encryption. We first propose an algorithm for breaking a prefix-coded file by enumeration. Based on the algorithm, we respectively analyze the complexity of breaking Huffman codes and Shannon-Fano-Elias codes under the assumption that the cryptanalyst knows the code construction rule and the probability mass function of the source. ...
