New FUSE far-UV spectroscopy of the nearby metal-deficient (Z⊙/8) cometary Blue Compact Dwarf (BCD) galaxy Markarian (Mrk) 59 is discussed. The data are used to investigate element abundances in its interstellar medium. The H i absorption lines are characterized by narrow cores which are interstellar in origin and by broad wings which are stellar in origin. The mean interstellar H i column dens...

Marapi in Sumatra is characterized by frequent short-lived explosions and small eruptions (Volcanic Explosivity Index 1–2) the past 250 years, volcano has erupted >60 times. Recent volcanic bombs presence of broadband seismic stations lead us to reconstruct plumbing system through an interdisciplinary study. A petrologic study summit uses pyroxene, plagioclase glass compositions obtain pressure...

The application of the I band Tully–Fisher relation towards determining the Hubble constant is reviewed, with particular attention to the impact of scatter and bias corrections in the relation. A template relation is derived from galaxies in 24 clusters. A subset of 14 clusters with cz ∼ 4000 to 9000 km s is used as an inertial frame to define the velocity zero point of the relation. Twelve gal...

Spatial and kinematical correlations between the H i and 12CO(2−1) emission of the southern spiral galaxy NGC4945 are studied with a common angular resolution of ∼ 23′′ (corresponding to 750 pc at D = 6.7 Mpc) and a velocity resolution of ∼7 kms−1. The 1.4 GHz continuum emission is also observed. The H i kinematics yield a galaxy mass of ∼ 1.4× 10 M within radius R=380′′, with molecular and neu...

Abstract The Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) contains most of the mass our Galaxy but its star formation rate is one order magnitude lower than in Galactic disk. This likely related to fact that bulk gas CMZ a warm (>100 K) and turbulent phase with little material prestellar phase. We present this Letter observations deuterium fractionation (D/H ratios) HCN, HNC, HCO + , N 2 H toward molecular ...

The retrospective analysis of 494 solid-organ transplant recipients revealed that during the follow-up period (mean duration, 3.2 years) 184 (88%) of 209 anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) immunoglobulin A (IgA)-positive patients remained IgA positive, as did 128 (74.85%) of 171 anti-HCMV IgM-positive patients. We conclude that anti-HCMV IgA and IgM testing for management of clinically relevant ...

The present study was undertaken to assess the effect of different chemical activators along with 6-DMAP on in vitro matured caprine oocytes. From 4332 ovaries, 14235 cumulus oocyte complexes (COCs) were collected which were matured in TCM-199 medium containing follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) (5 µg/ml), Leutinizing hormone (LH) (10 µg/ml), oestradiol-17β (1 µg/ml) supplemented with 10% fetal...

OBJECTIVES The objective of the study was to reveal morphology, electrolyte and chosen biochemical parameters in terms of health risk in runners in reference to their age and running speed in the case of running a distance of 100 km, which occur after 12 h or 24 h of recovery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Fourteen experienced, male, amateur, ultra-marathon runners, divided into two age and two speed ...
