The very high energy (VHE) γ-ray source HESS J0632+057 has recently been confirmed to be a γ-ray binary. The optical counterpart is the Be star MWC 148, and a compact object of unknown nature orbits it every ∼321 d with a high eccentricity of ∼0.8. We monitored HESS J0632+057 with the stereoscopic MAGIC telescopes from 2010 October to 2011 March and detected significant VHE γ-ray emission durin...

Generating discernibility matrix consumes huge time and space .To solve this problem, A new Binary Discernibility Matrix (BDM) induced from information table is defined, The concept of Binary Conjunction Matrix(BCM) is then introduced, Finally A novel method for discernibility matrix using Ordered binary decision diagrams(OBDD) is proposed in this paper, experiment is carried to compare the sto...

Thirty-one blood samples were obtained from wild male black bears at different times of the calendar year. The samples were assayed for serum testosterone and the results were correlated with testicular size, time of year and nutritional status. A significant annual testosterone rhythm was found with high values during March through mid-July (mean 153 ng per 100 ml) and low values from mid-July...
