Recently Discovered Pulsars and Unidentified Egret Sources

We present a correlative study between all unidentified EGRET sources at low Galactic latitudes and the newly discovered pulsars in the released portion of the Parkes multibeam radio survey. We note 14 positional coincidences: eight of these are “Vela-like” pulsars, with relatively small periods, small characteristic ages, and high spin-down luminosities. Three of these coincidences have been i...

Abundances of Recently Discovered Planetary Nebulae

In this work we report spectrophotometric observations of a planetary nebula sample towards the galac-tic bulge. A total of 45 PNe was observed and their physical parameters (electron density and temperature) were derived. Ionic abundances were calculated using a three-level atom model and abundances were derived through ionisation correction factors. Results show low abundance objects at high ...

Unwanted transgenes re-discovered in Oaxacan maize.

The Culture of Albino Maize.

A number of attempts have been made to grow albino plants by means of artificial nutrition, but so far as I am aware, in none of these have plants been grown to maturity or with any material gain in dry weight. KNUDSON and LINDSTROM (6) succeeded in keeping albino maize plants alive when supplied with sugar, and noted the formation of five to seven leaves, while the check plants had only two to...

Recently Discovered Adipokines and Cardio-Metabolic Comorbidities in Childhood Obesity

White adipose tissue (WAT) asset, in terms of cell number, fat storage capacity and endocrine function, is largely determined in early stages of life and is pivotal for shaping the WAT pro-inflammatory behavior. WAT derived adipokines have been shown to play a main role in several cardio-metabolic abnormalities of obesity. This review focuses on the most recently identified adipokines, namely a...
