For the last year or two of college, I lived in a small room attached to a garage at the back of a house on Del Mar Boulevard in Pasadena. I’d been living in a room of the main house for a year and leaped at the opportunity for more privacy. The room was tiny — but I didn’t have much stuff and it had its own bathroom. It was just right for me. There was only one thing that was a little disagree...

Hadronic interaction models are a core ingredient of simulations extensive air showers and pose the major source uncertainties predictions shower observables. Recently, Pythia~8, hadronic model popular in accelerator-based high-energy physics, became usable as well. We have integrated Pythia~8 with its new capabilities into simulation framework CORSIKA~8. First results show significantly shallo...

Based on a new approach to the detection of radio transients associated with extensive air showers induced by ultra high energy cosmic rays, the experimental apparatus CODALEMA is in operation, measuring about 1 event per day corresponding to an energy threshold ∼ 5 × 10 eV. Its performance makes possible for the first time the study of radio-signal features on an event-by-event basis. The samp...

We present an analysis of the temperature, density, and velocity of the molecular gas in the star-forming core around W51 e2. A previous paper (Ho & Young 1996) describes the kinematic evidence which implies that the core around e2 is contracting onto a young massive star. The current paper presents a technique for modelling the three-dimensional structure of the core by simulating spectral lin...

The purpose of this study was to compare the traditional height-adjustable shower trolley with the Carevo, a shower trolley with a new design. Compared to the traditional height-adjustable shower trolley, the Carevo has higher side supports, indented curves on the long sides, handles, arrow-shaped ends, and a mattress with a flexible mid-section. In this study four nurses carried out five showe...

Inhalation exposure to haloacetic acids (HAAs) and haloketones (HKs) in contaminated drinking water occurs during showering. The size distribution of the aerosols generated by a shower was determined using an eight size-range particle counter, which measured particles from 0.1 to >2 microm. An exponential increase in aerosol numbers was observed while the shower water was on, while the aerosol ...

We present a clustering technique addressing redundancy for bounded-distance clusters, which means being able to determine the minimum number of cluster-heads per node, and the maximum distance from nodes to their cluster-heads. This problem is similar to computing a (k, r)-dominating set, (k, r)-DS, of the network. (k, r)-DS is defined as the problem of selecting a minimum cardinality vertex s...

At very high energies the Earth magnetic field, although in many other connections considered rather weak, acts as a strong field on photons and leptons. This paper discusses the intimate connection between this effect and the corresponding ‘strong field effects’ observed at accessible accelerator energies in aligned single crystals. As such, these effects constitute an experimental verificatio...

KASCADE (KArlsruhe Shower Core and Array DEtector) is determining flux spectra for different primary mass groups to disentangle the knee feature of the primary cosmic-ray energy spectrum. The energy spectra of the light element groups result in a knee-like bending and a steepening above the knee. The topology of the individual knee positions suggests a rigidity dependence. To proof the rigidity...

Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the object relations and core conflictual relationship theme in depressed patients and compare them with normal individuals. Method: Thirty people with major depressive disorder and thirty normal individuals were selected using the convenience sampling method with structured clinical Interviews (SCID-I & SCID-II) and the psychiatric Symptoms Check...
