Received XX; accepted XX Abstra t. We have investigated the 2–D stellar distribution in the outer parts of three nearby open clusters: NGC 2287 ( M41), NGC 2516, and NGC 2548 ( M48). Wide-field star counts have been performed in two colours on pairs of digitized ESO and SRC Schmidt plates, allowing us to select likely cluster members in the colour-magnitude diagrams. Cluster tidal extensions we...

We have investigated the 2–D stellar distribution in the outer parts of three nearby open clusters: NGC 2287 (≡M41), NGC 2516, and NGC 2548 (≡M48). Wide-field star counts have been performed in two colours on pairs of digitized ESO and SRC Schmidt plates, allowing us to select likely cluster members in the colour-magnitude diagrams. Cluster tidal extensions were emphasized using a wavelet trans...

In this paper we review the coset construction for winding subalgebras of affine Lie algebras. We classify all cosets of central charge ĉ < 1 and calculate their branching rules. The corresponding character identities give certain ‘doubling formulae’ for the affine characters. We discuss some applications of our construction, in particular we find a simple proof of a crucial identity needed for...

Background Costovertebral (CV), costotransverse (CTr), sternoclavicular (SC) and manubriosternal (MS) joint involvements may be in spondyloarthritis (SpA). However, the radiological clinical characteristics of these need further assessment. Objectives In this study, we aimed to determine CV, CTr, SC, MS SpA patients. Methods patients (searched from hospital data-processing system according ICD-...

Background Leishmaniasis is an infectious disease caused by intracellular parasite of the genus Leishmania. According to clinical expression, it can be identified: subclinical, cutaneous (CL) and visceral leishmaniasis (VL). The immune response triggered in this type infections based activation TH1 pathway, which molecules such as TNF α interleukins IL 12 IL1 are involved [1,2]. In recent years...

In this paper we discuss a new coset construction for affine Lie algebras. We classify all cosets of central charge ĉ < 1 and calculate their branching rules. The corresponding character identities give certain ‘doubling formulae’ for the affine characters. We discuss some applications of our construction, in particular we find a simple proof of a crucial identity needed for the computation of ...

To assess the risk posed by vertical transmission of viral haemorrhagic septicaemia virus, VHSV, in rainbow trout ova, an experimental challenge study was conducted. Prior to the fertilisation process samples of milt and/or ova were infected with VHSV. Virus was not detected from either the fertilised ova or hatched fry. These results indicate that the risk associated with VHSV vertical transmi...
