Let (X,L) be a smooth polarized complex variety of dimension n. In this paper we identify the leading terms of the (reduced) K-energy map with the weight F1(λ) provided that (X,L) moves in a good family X f → B. Consequently, we deduce that the properness of the K-Energy map implies the K-Stability of the variety. §0 Resumé of Results Let (X, L) be a compact polarised manifold. Assume L is very...

Sensitive liquid-phase measurements have been made in a 20 cm cell using broadband cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy (BBCEAS). The cavity was formed by two high reflectivity mirrors which were in direct contact with the liquid-phase analytes. Careful choice of solvent was required to minimise the effect of background solvent absorptions. Measurements were made on the broad absorber Sudan ...

We have been conducting deep searches at ∼20 cm of >30 globular clusters (GCs) using the 305-m Arecibo telescope in Puerto Rico and the 100-m Green Bank telescope (GBT) in West Virginia. With roughly 80% of our search data analyzed, we have confirmed 13 new millisecond pulsars (MSPs), 12 of which are in binary systems, and at least three of which eclipse. We currently have timing solutions for ...

As part of a larger program to identify low redshift radio analogues of the damped Lyman−α (DLA) absorbers seen in the spectra of high redshift quasars, Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope (WSRT) observations have discovered two new HI 21cm absorption lines at z = 0.394 and z = 0.437 in the spectra of the radio sources B 0248+430 and B 1243-072 respectively. These sightlines and redshifts were...

The advent of ultra-deep X-ray surveys with telescopes such as Chandra and XMM, together with deep multi-waveband ground-based and HST imaging covering radio and optical /near-IR wavelengths, allows us to directly probe the detailed properties of the environments, host galaxies and central accretion disks of both radio-loud and radio-quiet active galaxies up to cosmological redshifts. Here we p...

BACKGROUND/AIMS The aim of this study was to investigate the primary management experience for giant liver hemangiomas greater than 20 cm in size. METHODS Records of patients referred for evaluation of radiologically and/or histopathologically proven giant liver hemangiomas between January 2007 and March 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The reasons for referral, results of imaging studies,...

ABSTRACT: Weedy rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most problematic weed in fields due to few control management alternatives it, because of genetic similarity with crop. Different cropping systems (regarding soil preparation before sowing) have been used as options persistence and emergence seedbank. Therefore, objective this study was evaluate longevity vertical distribution weedy seeds seedbank a...

Crop residues left in the field cover and protect soil surface, regulate key processes functions, such as gas water exchanges. However, Brazilian sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) sector has begun to use straw feedstock produce bioenergy. We conducted a study evaluate effects of removal temperature moisture changes at three sites (with different textures: Site 1 - clayey Oxisol, 2 medium tex...
