Recent X-ray observations reveal an increasing number of X-ray sources in nearby galaxies exceeding luminosities of Lx >∼ 2 · 10 erg s. Assuming isotropic emission, the Eddington limit suggests a population of intermediate-mass black holes of M• ≫ 10M⊙. However, Markoff, Falcke, & Fender (2001) proposed that jets may be contributing to the X-ray emission from X-ray binaries (XRBs), implying tha...

BACKGROUND FENDRR is a long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) that binds to polycomb repressive complexe 2 (PRC2) to epigenetically regulate the expression of its target gene. The clinical role of FENDRR in carcinomas remains yet to be found. METHOD Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was used to examine FENDRR expression in gastric cancer cell lines/tissues compared with normal epithelial cells...

The predatory species Laricobius nigrinus (Fender) and Laricobius osakensis (Shiyake and Montgomery) (Coleoptera: Derodontidae) have been released for biological control of hemlock woolly adelgid (Adelges tsugae; Hemiptera: Adelgidae) in eastern North America. L. osakensis is native to Japan, whereas L. nigrinus is endemic to the Pacific Northwest of the United States and Canada. After release,...

The distance to the black hole binary GX 339–4 remains a topic of debate. We examine high-resolution optical spectra of the Na D lines resolving the velocity structure along the line of sight. We find this to be complex, with at least nine components, mostly blue-shifted, spanning a velocity range of nearly 200 km s −1. The presence of components with a large blue-shift rules out a nearby locat...

today air conditioning systems have been considered by all people as one of welfarerequirements in buildings and closed environments. since a considerable part of energy lossoccurs in ordinary modern systems, new strategies and solutions are developed in the field inorder to save amount of energy consumption and observe environmental considerations. fuzzycontrol is one of these methods which pr...

Dermaga Konstruksi PT Pupuk Kaltim merupakan dermaga jetty pertama yang dibangun pada tahun 1979 dan pengembangannya 1988. Awalnya ini berfungsi sebagai tempat bongkar/muat material konstruksi pabrik Kaltim. Namun, fungsi tersebut beralih menjadi bahan baku produksi distribusi pupuk urea dengan menggunakan kapal general cargo 2.000 DWT. Wilayah Urea, yaitu wilayah Kalimantan Utara, Tengah, Sela...

the study of the dynamic behavior of a rigid body with one fixed point (gyroscope) has a long history. a number of famous mathematicians and mechanical engineers have devoted enormous time and effort to clarify the role of dynamic effects on its movement (behavior) – stable, periodic, quasi-periodic or chaotic. the main objectives of this review are: 1) to outline the characteristic features of...

aim and background: the behavioral inhibition system (bis) and the behavioral activation system (bas) are considered as factors to verify the effects of personality significance on cortical activity. the present study explored the effects of the bis and bas on frontal asymmetry in response to affect stimuli. methods and materials: this study included 36 individuals (18 with high bas sensitivity...

conclusions: the results of the present research indicates that the emphasis of the his evaluation moves from technical subjects to human and organizational subjects, and from objective to subjective issues. therefore, this issue entails more familiarity with more qualitative evaluation methods. in most of the reviewed studies, the main focus has been laid on the necessity of using multi-method...
