We present submillimeter observations of the Local Group, metal-poor, irregular dwarf galaxy IC 10, directly relevant to the interaction between interstellar medium and star formation activity in primeval galaxies. Using the JCMT, we have observed the ne structure neutral carbon transition 3 P 1 ! 3 P 0 at 492 GHz and the rotational J = 3 ! 2 transition of 12 CO and 13 CO in the most massive gi...

We report the results of monitoring of V4334 Sgr (Sakurai’s Object) at 450μm and 850μm with scuba on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. The flux density at both wavelengths has increased dramatically since 2001, and is consistent with continued cooling of the dust shell in which Sakurai’s Object is still enshrouded, and which still dominates the near-infrared emission. Assuming that the dust sh...

using plant growth regulators at the stresses environment can improve plant growth and crop production. hence, in this research response of photosynthesis rate, chlorophyll, soluble sugar and flower dry weight of chamomile to methyl jasmonate under different salinity levels was studied. values of 0 (control), 75, 150, 225 and 300μm methyl jasmonate (meja) with salinity levels of 2, 6, 10 and 14...

background: scuba diving is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. the objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of pressure variations to which divers are exposed on the pull out strength of glass fiber post luted with different cements. materials and methods: in this in vitro study, 120 extracted, single-rooted lower premolars were endodontically treated. they were randomly ...

The Earth Simulator has the highest power ever achieved to perform molecular dynamics simulation of large-scale supramolecular systems. We are developing a molecular dynamics simulation system, called SCUBA, which is designed to run a system composed of more than a million particles efficiently on parallel computers. This fisical year, the arrays used in the program of SCUBA were intensively op...

In the present study, we observed the haemodynamic changes, using echocardiography and Doppler, in ten healthy volunteers during 6 h of compression in a hyperbaric chamber with a protocol designed to reproduce the conditions as near as possible to a real dive. Ambient pressure varied from 1.6 to 3 atm (1 atm=101.325 kPa) and partial pressure of inspired O2 from 1.2 to 2.8 atm. Subjects performe...

to assess the sources, entry routes and degree of contamination of pah compounds in surface sediments of the southwestern caspian sea coasts (gillan province) total of 129 surface sediment samples from 28 rivers and 5 transect across the gillan province coasts (from astara to lahijan; 10, 20 and 50 m depth) were collected in the spring and summer of 2012. after extraction using soxhlet method, ...

BACKGROUND Scuba divers work in high pressure conditions which may cause some changes in physiological status to adapt to this situation. In this study, the carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was assessed in divers as a risk factor of cerebrovascular and cardiovascular disorders. METHODS This historical cohort study was performed on 16 male professional scuba divers as case group and 30 he...

We present far-infrared (FIR) continuum observations of the deeply embedded source IRAS 16293–2422 performed with the Long Wavelength Spectrometer (LWS) on-board the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). We also report 450 and 850 μm mapping observations done with the Submillimetre Common–User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) at the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). We combined these observations with I...

CONTEXT As of 2015, more than 23 million scuba diver certifications have been issued across the globe. Given the popularity of scuba diving, it is incumbent on every physician to know and understand the specific medical hazards and conditions associated with scuba diving. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION Sources were obtained from PubMed, MEDLINE, and EBSCO databases from 1956 onward and ranged from dive...
