Massive galaxies in the young Universe, ten billion years ago, formed stars at surprising intensities1, 2. Although this is commonly attributed to violent mergers, the properties of many of these galaxies are incompatible with such events, showing gas-rich, clumpy, extended rotating disks not dominated by spheroids1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Cosmological simulations6 and clustering theory6, 7 are used to ex...

Flame bending process is one of the forming processes of steel plates. During this process, plate is formed with heating by gas torch flame followed by controlled cooling along specified paths. Considering simple tools used in the process, it is a popular and economical forming method. At present, this process is manually done on the basis of skilled technician’s &#10experience. Experimental an...

A 63-year-old man with diabetes presented with a twoday history of fever and left flank pain. A physical examination revealed hypotension, tachycardia and left lower abdominal tenderness. Laboratory tests showed leukocytosis with bandemia and metabolic acidosis. A plain abdominal film showed an outpouching left psoas shadow (Picture 1, arrows). Contrast-enhanced abdominal computed tomography re...

Pyogenic liver abscess (PLA) is an uncommon disease with an annual incidence rate ranging from two to 45 cases per 100,000 hospital admissions worldwide. Gas-forming pyogenic liver abscess (GFPLA) is even rarer, which accounts for 7% to 24% of PLA. It is reported that GFPLA only accounted for less than 4% of all PLA over an eight-year period in a local hospital of Brunei. Here we present a rare...

We present a model for the CO molecular line emission from high-redshift Submillimetre Galaxies (SMGs). By combining hydrodynamic simulations of gas-rich galaxy mergers with the polychromatic radiative transfer code, SUNRISE, and the 3D non-LTE molecular line radiative transfer code, TURTLEBEACH, we show that if SMGs are typically a transient phase of major mergers, then their observed compact ...

Carbon Nanotube (CNT) based gas sensors have a variety of advantages over conventional gas sensors. They are smaller in size, consume less power, have quicker response times, and have great electronic and thermal properties. In addition, they are easy to functionalize and have amazing mechanical properties that allow them to be modified and targeted for a specific gas molecule. This allows them...

We present a complete survey of CO (1 → 0) emission in the Local Group dwarf irregular IC 10. The survey, conducted with the BIMA interferometer, covers the stellar disk and a large fraction of the extended H I envelope with the sensitivity and resolution necessary to detect individual giant molecular clouds (GMCs) at the distance of IC 10 (950 kpc). We find 16 clouds with a total CO luminosity...

The pyogenic liver abscess caused by Clostridium perfringens (C. perfringens) is a rare but rapidly fatal infection. The main virulence factor of this pathogen is its α-toxin (lecithinase), which decomposes the phospholipid in cell membranes leading to cell lysis. Once the bacteria are in blood stream, massive intravascular hemolysis occurs. This can present as anemia on admission with evidence...

The early stages of the star formation process are closely related to the condition of the parent interstellar medium, in particular to the heating/cooling balance, which itself is a function of ambient conditions. Important questions such as dust abundance, size distribution, temperature distribution, fraction of molecular gas, fraction of dense gas, gas surface density and total amount of gas...
