We used FUSE to observe ultraviolet emission from diffuse O VI in the hot gas in the Galactic halo. By comparing our result with another, nearby observation blocked by an opaque cloud at a distance of 230 pc, we could subtract off the contribution from the Local Bubble, leading to an apparent halo intensity of IOV I = 4680 −660 photons cm −2 s sr. A correction for foreground extinction leads to...

BACKGROUND Recurrence is the most important complication of abdominal wall reconstruction. It is possible the repair itself is intact, but bulging or expansion of mesh causes recurrent swelling's of the abdominal wall. CASE SUMMARY In this report, we present bulging of a polyester mesh due to central pore expansion. DISCUSSION Repetitive stress and variations in intra-abdominal pressure can...

the growth rate and uniformity of carbon nano tubes (cnts) based on chemical vapor deposition (cvd) technique is investigated by using a numerical model. in this reactor, inlet gas mixture, including xylene as carbon source and mixture of argon and hydrogen as  carrier gas enters into a horizontal cvd reactor at atmospheric pressure. based on the gas phase and surface reactions, released carbon...

NGC6543 is one of the few planetary nebulae (PNe) whose X-ray emission has been shown to be extended and originate from hot interior gas. Using FUSE observations we have now detected nebular O VI emission from NGC6543. Its central star, with an effective temperature of ∼50,000 K, is too cool to photoionize O V, so the O VI ions must have been produced by thermal collisions at the interface betw...

We investigate a new implementation of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics technique (SPH) designed to improve the realism with which galaxy formation can be simulated. In situations where cooling leads to the coexistence of phases of very different density and temperature, our method substantially reduces artificial overcooling near phase boundaries, prevents the exclusion of hot gas from the ...

The authors administered a written survey consisting of colour images of 28 tympanic membranes (TM) to four groups of examiners: 86 medical students, 68 paediatric residents, 62 paediatricians and seven expert otoscopists. For each image, examiners were asked to indicate whether redness or bulging of the TM was present and to assign a diagnosis. The odds of diagnosing acute otitis media (AOM) w...

Recent Hi emission observations of the Southern Galactic hemisphere have revealed a mushroom-like structure extending from z = −70 to −450 pc, composed of a stem and a cap. Similar structures occur in three-dimensional simulations of a dynamic galactic disk driven by isolated and clustered supernovae. Using these simulations, we show that hot gas in the Galactic disk that is not evacuated throu...

Stellar feedback is often cited as the biggest uncertainty in galaxy formation models today. This uncertainty stems from a dearth of observational constraints as well as the great dynamic range between the small scales ( 1 pc) where the feedback originates and the large scales of galaxies ( 1 kpc) that are shaped by this feedback. To bridge this divide, in this paper we aim to assess observatio...

Abstract. We present the results of the analysis of the BeppoSAX LECS and MECS pointed observation of the E4 galaxy NGC 3923, for which previous X-ray measurements had given a medium X-ray to optical ratio LX/LB. The spectral analysis over (0.5–10) keV reveals that the best representation of the data is the superposition of two thermal components at temperatures of 0.4 keV and 6–8 keV. The tota...

We present high resolution images of the Faraday Rotation Measure (RM) structure of the radio galaxy PKS1246-410 at the center of the Centaurus cluster. Comparison with Hα-line and soft X-ray emission reveals a correspondence between the line-emitting gas, the soft X-ray emitting gas, regions with an excess in the RM images, and signs of depolarization. Magnetic field strengths of 25 μG, organi...
