We report the discovery of the optical counterpart of the 12.3 s transient X–ray pulsar GS 0834–43. We re–analysed archival ROSAT PSPC observations of GS 0834–43 obtaining two new refined positions, ∼14 and ∼18 away from the previously published one, and a new spin period measurement. Based on these results we carried out optical and infra–red (IR) follow–up observations. Within the new error c...

We report on the identification of the optical/IR counterpart of the 29.5-s transient X–ray pulsar GS 1843+009. We re–analysed an archival ROSAT HRI observation of GS 1843+009 obtaining a new refined position. The optical and IR follow–up observations carried out for the new error circle allowed us to find a relatively faint (V = 20.9) and variable early type reddened star (V − R = 2.1). The op...

We present an algorithm for the minimization of f : Rn → R, assumed to be locally Lipschitz and continuously differentiable in an open dense subset D of Rn. The objective f may be nonsmooth and/or nonconvex. The method is based on the gradient sampling algorithm (GS) of Burke, Lewis, and Overton [SIAM J. Optim., 15 (2005), pp. 751-779]. It differs, however, from previously proposed versions of ...

This paper reviews the system of the evaluation methods for performance of information system (IS) and their deficiencies. Based on these, the feasibility and necessity to measure the performance from the input/output viewpoint are emphasized. Then, this paper introduces four basic models of data envelopment analysis and selects YMK-DEA and C 2 GS 2 -ISS models for the evaluation of performance...

Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), a member of the Asteraceae family, is an important plant grown in world as source vegetable oil. In addition, it versatile crop that also used biodiesel, animal feed, spice, dye, and medicinal plant. this study, SRAP markers were to determine genetic diversity relationships between four local three registered safflower cultivars for use cross-breeding progra...

The objective of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) analyses for selection of the best parents for breeding of hybrid winter triticale. Phenotypic diversity was measured for 8 agronomic traits in 10 parents and 27 F1 hybrids. Genotypic diversity was measured by 91 AFLP markers. Coefficients of correlation of genetic similarity (AFLP-GS) wi...

Aim: PSMA expression has been observed in increased levels patients with high Gleason scores. Current information on Ga-68 PET/CT shows that primary staging is important high-risk PC. may also have a place intermediate risk PC, but only few data are available at present. In this study, we aimed to elucidate the relationship between value prostate gland, total PSA and GS diagnosed cancer.

Radial endobronchial ultrasound (R-EBUS) is a useful tool for precise localisation of peripheral pulmonary lesions, but there have been no detailed reports about the use of R-EBUS images for ground-glass opacity (GGO). The R-EBUS images of 116 patients with GGO, who were diagnosed as having adenocarcinoma by R-EBUS with a guide sheath (EBUS-GS), were compared with the respective chest computed ...

Cytochrome P450–derived epoxides of arachidonic acid [i.e., the epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs)] are important lipid signaling molecules involved in the regulation of vascular tone and angiogenesis. Because many actions of 11,12-cis-epoxyeicosatrienoic acid (EET) are dependent on the activation of protein kinase A (PKA), the existence of a cell-surface Gs-coupled receptor has been postulated. ...

The position specificity of porcine pancreatic Lu-amyIase action on maltotriose (Gs) through maltooctaose (Gs) has been studied with maltodextrins specifically labeled in the reducing glucose unit with 14C. The initial relative rates of formation of the labeled products were determined for each substrate. As the size of the maltodextrin increases, the point of maximum frequency of attack shifts...
