Abstract We measure the spatially resolved recent star formation history (SFH) of M33 using optical images taken with Hubble Space Telescope as part Panchromatic Andromeda Treasury: Triangulum Extended Region (PHATTER) survey. The area covered by observations used in this analysis covers a de-projected ?38 kpc 2 and extends to ?3.5 ?2 from center along major semimajor axes, respectively. divide...

Elastases have been widely studied because of their important uses as medicine and meat tenderizers. However, there are relatively few studies on marine elastases. Myroilysin, secreted by Myroides profundi D25 from deep-sea sediment, is a novel elastase. In this study, we examined the elastin degradation mechanism of myroilysin. When mixed with insoluble bovine elastin, myroilysin bound hydroph...

This work investigated the potential of generating biogas from mono-digestion various substrates such as food and fruit waste (e.g., durian shell, dragon peel pineapple peel) co-digestion in different combinations a co-substrate well types (durian peel). The mixture ratio varied follows: 75:25, 50:50 25:75, which was based on weight. batch experiments were carried out using 125 ml anaerobic dig...

UNLABELLED A large amount of bacterial biomass is transferred from land to ocean annually. Most transferred bacteria should not survive, but undoubtedly some do. It is unclear what mechanisms these bacteria use in order to survive and even thrive in a new marine environment. Myroides profundi D25(T), a member of the Bacteroidetes phylum, was isolated from deep-sea sediment of the southern Okina...

We investigated the effects of different windows of testosterone propionate (TP) treatment during foetal and neonatal life in female rats to determine whether and when excess androgen exposure would cause disruption of adult reproductive function. Animals were killed prepubertally at d25 and as adults at d90. Plasma samples were taken for hormone analysis and ovaries serial sectioned for morpho...

Objective Adenomyosis and endometriosis are relatively common gynecological diseases that exhibit many common features. This study identified gynecological and non-gynecological diseases that exhibited comorbidity with adenomyosis and endometriosis in Korean women. Methods We used Health Insurance Review and Assessment data from 2009 to 2011 and searched for adenomyosis and endometriosis (cod...

The premise that Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) exist beyond the optical extent of nearby galaxies is investigated. A published catalog containing 41 ULX candidates located between 1 and ∼3 times the standard D25 isophotal radius of their putative host galaxies is examined. Twenty-one of these sources have spectroscopically-confirmed distances. All 21 are background objects giving a 95% pro...
