The geometry of the LMC bar is studied using the de-reddened mean magnitudes of the red clump stars (I0 ) from the OGLE II catalogue. The value of I0 is found to vary in the east-west direction such that both the east and the west ends of the bar are closer to us with respect to the center of the bar. The maximum observed variation has a statistical significance of more than 7.6 σ with respect ...

planar d-bar integral equation is one of the inverse scattering solution methods for complex problems including inverse conductivity considered in applications such as electrical impedance tomography (eit). recently two different methodologies are considered for the numerical solution of d-bar integrals equation, namely product integrals and multigrid. the first one involves high computational ...

The BAR (Bin/amphiphysin/Rvs) domain is the most conserved feature in amphiphysins from yeast to human and is also found in endophilins and nadrins. We solved the structure of the Drosophila amphiphysin BAR domain. It is a crescent-shaped dimer that binds preferentially to highly curved negatively charged membranes. With its N-terminal amphipathic helix and BAR domain (N-BAR), amphiphysin can d...

We review the observational evidences concerning the three-dimensional structure of the Galactic bulge. Although the inner few kpc of our Galaxy are normally referred to as the bulge, all the observations demonstrate that this region is dominated by a bar, i.e., the bulge is a bar. The bar has a boxy/peanut (X-shaped) structure in its outer regions, while it seems to become less and less elonga...

We present CO(1-0) and CO(2-1) maps of the Seyfert galaxy NGC 5728. Although a stellar nuclear bar structure is clearly identified in the near-infrared images in the central 10 " , inside the ring identified as the ILR of the primary bar, there is no nuclear bar structure in the molecular gas. Instead, the CO emission reveals an elongated structure, 15 " in length, beginning at the nucleus (def...

Previous studies have shown that cellular function depends on rod-like membrane proteins, among them Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) proteins may curve the membrane leading to physiologically important membrane invaginations and membrane protrusions. The membrane shaping induced by BAR proteins has a major role in various biological processes such as cell motility and cell growth. Different models of...

X-bar theory is widely regarded as a substantive theory of phrase structure properties in natural languages. In this paper we will demonstrate that a formalization of its content reveals very little substance in its claims. We state and discuss six conditions that encapsulate the claims of X-bar theory: Lexicality — each nonterminal is a projection of a preterminal; Succession — each X dominate...

We have obtained NIR spectral line maps of a limited region around the Orion Bar ionization front using the red and blue grisms of SOFI on the ESO NTT telescope. The wavelength range covered was from 0.95 to 2.3 µm. In addition to many well studied features, we detected two lines at 1.07 and 1.17 µm due to recombination to CI which have excitations above 60000 cm −1. We also observe several fea...

the use of temporary runoff and underground dried-up water courses has been implemented by managers in recentyears to compensate for water shortages in arid and semi-arid regions. one way to use this water is to set up anunderground sandy dam in front of such water courses; selecting a suitable water course is the most important issue ofsuch a purpose. in the present research, this matter was i...
