Abstract We study the hydrogen ionization instability mechanism in context of low-mass X-ray binaries with a black hole as central object. make numerical calculations predicted outbursts’ light curves and compare them to data observed by satellites. The comparison is done for five sources RXTE/ASM (XTE J1550−564, 4U 1630−472, XTE J1859+226, GX 339-4, J1818−245) one source MAXI (MAXI J1659−152)....

than good. In order to determine the best dose I have made numerous experiments on myself during the last two years, and have shown elsewhere* that a marked effect can be produced in half an hour by giving 15 grains of calcium chloride. Without going into further detail here, I may state that I have come to the conclusion, from numerous experiments on myself and a few on others, that the best w...

In this paper, we consider the classical problem of utility maxi-mization in a financial market allowing jumps. Assuming that the constraint set of all trading strategies is a compact set, rather than a convex one, we use a dynamic method from which we derive a specific BSDE. To solve the financial problem, we first prove existence and uniqueness results for the introduced BSDE. This allows to ...

In the fall of 1999, two types of impact sprinklers were evaluated to determine the distribution of precipitation under normal operating conditions. The sprinkler types included a traditional round-patterned design (Rain Bird Maxi-Bird) and a recently developed sprinkler delivering water in a square pattern, called Square Shooter. The squarepatterned sprinkler was more precise in delivering a u...

MAXI, an all-sky X-ray monitor to be on-board on the ISS (International Space Station), carries two kinds of X-ray cameras: GSC (Gas Slit Camera) and SSC (Solid-state Slit Camera). Both X-ray cameras are scanning imagers combining position-sensitive detectors and collimators with one-dimensional FOV (field of view). They covers 90% of the whole sky every 90 minutes of the ISS orbital period. Th...

A new genus (Chanealtica) with three new species (Chanealtica cuevas, Chanealtica ellimon, and Chanealtica maxi) from Bolivia is described and illustrated. It is compared with Aphthonoides Jacoby, 1885, Argopistes Motschulsky, 1860, Metroserrapha Bechyne, 1958, Psylliodes Berthold, 1827 and Psyllototus Nadein, 2010. Remarkably, based on the available characters, among all the flea beetles, Chan...
