SN 2002kg is a type IIn supernova, detected in October 2002 in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 2403. We show that the position of SN 2002kg agrees within the errors with the position of the LBV V37. Ground based and HST ACS images however show that V37 is still present after the SN 2002kg event. We compiled a lightcurve of V37 which underlines the variablity of the object, and shows that SN 2002kg...

We investigate the possibility to detect giant planets that are still embedded in young circumstellar disks. Based on models with different stellar, planetary, and disk masses, and different radial positions of the planet we analyze the resulting submillimeter appearance of these systems. We find that the influence of the planet on the spectral energy distribution could not be distinguished fro...

A high-speed highway in the design encounters many problems, for solution of which it is necessary to find best ways. One these problems overheating wire contact network (CN) when passing through neutral insert. The authors propose an insulating connection device (ICD) CN, will allow avoid occurrence electric arc, and, consequently, and subsequent failure wire. ICD CN a set resistances that cha...

OBJECTIVES This article examines the effect that family structure has on the contact between older adults and their (step)children. A comparison is made among 3 family structures: biological families, complex stepfamilies, and simple stepfamilies. METHODS The sample consists of respondents aged 55 years or older from the "Living Arrangements and Social Networks of Older Adults in the Netherla...

This study aims to quantify and develop a deeper understanding of the parameters that underpin development new, predictive, microscopic model pedestrian movement with potential accurately reflect complexity flow dynamics now into future. It presents results analyses two single file experiments designed physical space taken up by extent person’s stepping (maximum step extent) minimum distance be...

cu-mo and cu-ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. the effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temperat...

aims: several methods have been used for textile wastewater treatment. the aim of this study was to evaluate the efficiency of rosa damascena watering waste ash for cod and color removal from textile wastewater.  materials & methods: rose watering waste was gathered from one of the kashan processing plants. the raw wastewater sample was taken from one of the textile industries in kashan country...

This article introduces an iterative constraint solver for rigid body dynamics with contact. Our algorithm requires linear time and space and is easily expressed in vector form for fast execution on vector processors. The use of an iterative algorithm opens up the possibility for exploiting temporal coherence. A method for caching contact forces is presented that allows contact points to move f...
