Experiments were carried out to determine the threshold level of maternal nicotine that impairs protective responses of rat pups to hypoxia. From days 6 or 7 of gestation, pregnant rats received either vehicle or nicotine (1.50, 3.00, or 6.00 mg of nicotine tartrate. kg body wt(-1).day(-1)) or vehicle continuously via a subcutaneous osmotic minipump. On postnatal days 5 or 6, pups were exposed ...

We present MeerKAT HI observations of six jellyfish candidate galaxies (JFCGs) in the galaxy cluster, A2626. Two JW100 and JW103, that were identified as JFCGs from B-band images, are confirmed (JFGs). Both JFGs have low content, reside cluster core, move at very high velocities ($\sim$ 3$\sigma_{cl}$). The other JFCGs, non-jellyfish galaxies, rich, with morphologies revealing warps, asymmetrie...
