We show that the blazar PKS 1424+240, which has been recently associated by IceCube with a neutrino excess at $3.3\,\sigma$ level together three other sources, is similar to first plausible non-stellar source, TXS 0506+056, in being also masquerading BL Lac object, i.e., intrinsically flat-spectrum radio quasar hidden broad lines and standard accretion disk. point out these two sources share pr...

Abstract The ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) long-duration balloon experiment is sensitive to interactions of ultrahigh-energy (E>10 18 eV) neutrinos in the Antarctic ice sheet. third flight ANITA, lasting 22 days, began December 2014. We develop a methodology search for energetic spatially and temporally coincident with potential source classes ANITA data. This applied several...

The observation of a very-high-energy neutrino by IceCube (IceCube-170922A) and its association with the flaring blazar TXS 0506+056 provided first multimessenger observations jets, demonstrating important role protons in their dynamics emission. In this paper, we present SOPRANO (https://www.amsdc.am/soprano), new conservative implicit kinetic code which follows time evolution isotropic distri...

Abstract Study question Is oxidative stress (OS) evaluated in human spermatozoa a predictive marker of better semen quality? Summary answer CellROX®Orange is new fluorescent probe able to detect Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) identifying viable oxidized sperm fraction related performance. What known already OS, defined as an unbalance between ROS production and antioxidant defences, considered o...

A neutrino outburst between September 2014 and March 2015 was discovered from the blazar TXS 0506+056 by an investigation of $9.5$ years IceCube data, while in a quiescent state during with gamma-ray flux only about one-fifth flux. In this work, we give possible interpretation abnormal feature proposing that originates interaction relativistic jet dense gas cloud formed via tidally disrupted en...

Background: Adolescents with asthma are the least compliant age group for asthma management. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore attitudes, beliefs and perceptions of two pediatric physician groups towards using social media technology (SMT) to improve asthma management in adolescents. Methods: We employed in-depth interviews and a focus group to understand pediatric attending phy...
