We discuss the possibility of using OH and H2O gigamasers to trace the redshift distribution of luminous, dust-obscured, star-forming galaxies. It has long been thought that ultraluminous, interacting galaxies should host gigamasers due to their vast pumping infrared (IR) luminosity, the large column density of molecules available to populate the maser states and the turbulent motion of the gas...

We have searched for OH absorption against seven pulsars using the Arecibo telescope. In both OH mainlines (at 1665 and 1667 MHz), deep and narrow absorption features were detected toward PSR B1849+00. In addition, we have detected several absorption and emission features against B33.6+0.1, a nearby supernova remnant (SNR). The most interesting result of this study is that a pencil-sharp absorp...

We report the first study of OH(1720 MHz) masers in the LMC in order to probe regions where supernova remnants interact with adjacent molecular clouds. Using the ATCA, we observed four sources in the LMC and detected a single OH(1720 MHz) maser with a flux density of 377 mJy toward 30 Doradus. No main line emission at 1665 or 1667 MHz was detected. The observed OH(1720 MHz) maser emission from ...

PURPOSE To compare the content of bioaccessible folate, vitamin B12, and isoflavones in tofu and tempe, as influenced by soybean variety and food processing, particularly fermentation. PRINCIPAL RESULTS Raw soybeans contained 2207-2671 μg/kg (dry matter) folate, cooked tempe 1493-4143, and cooked tofu 968-1273 μg/kg, the difference was attributed to the fermentation in tempe. Vitamin B12 was ...

An interrogation technique for fiber Bragg grating (FBG) strain sensors with dynamic temperature compensation using a single-multiple-single-mode (SMS) fiber filter as a temperature compensating element is presented. Experimental results show that this technique offers a resolution of better than 3.4 muepsilon for strain measurements in the range from 0 to 1667 muepsilon, and the temperature in...
