We observed MS 1054−0321, the highest redshift cluster of galaxies in the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey (EMSS), with the Chandra ACIS-S detector. We find the X-ray temperature of the cluster to be 10.4 −1.5 keV, lower than, but statistically consistent with, the temperature inferred previously. This temperature agrees well with the observed velocity dispersion and that found from weak lens...

Carrion-frequenting blow-flies (Chrysomyia albiceps and C. marginalis) were allowed 4 days of feeding on 32P-orthophosphate-labelled blood or an impala carcass (Aepyceros melampus) in the northern Kruger National Park, South Africa. The dispersal and density of fly faecal and discard droplets were then established using a Geiger-Counter, indicating that most droplets occurred between a height o...

In this paper we propose a new family of very efficient hardware oriented block ciphers. The family contains six block ciphers divided into two flavors. All block ciphers share the 80-bit key size and security level. The first flavor, KATAN, is composed of three block ciphers, with 32, 48, or 64-bit block size. The second flavor, KTANTAN, contains the other three ciphers with the same block siz...

We consider an electronic analog of the Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interferometer, where two single electrons travel along opposite chiral edge states and collide at a quantum point contact. Studying the current noise, we show that because of interactions between copropagating edge states, the degree of indistinguishability between the two electron wave packets is dramatically reduced, leading to red...

Results B. cereus complex constituted 164 cases (71.3%). Bacteraemia comprised 207 patient episodes (90.0%), of which 124 occurred in immunocompromised patients or those with intravascular devices. Physicians treated the organism in 68 episodes (29.5%). Environmental investigations confirmed heavy air contamination particularly within patient rooms and air conditioned wards. Dense airborne cont...

Precipitation and temperature data of Tigray region Ethiopia for baseline (1950-2000), future climate projection mid-century (2050) end-century (2070) based on medium emission scenario (RCP 4.5) high 8.5) were obtained from model ensembles, Coupled Model Intercomparison Project 5 (CMIP5). Arc GIS 10.1 Diva 7.5.0 was used mapping climatic variables area coverage. Area coverage computed number ce...

ABSTRACT. In the present work, mathematical models relating mass density and specific volume of solution with concentration for aqueous solutions anionic (sodium lauryl sulfate - SLS) cationic (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide CTAB) surfactants (0-10% (w/w)) have been investigated. The experimental studies were performed to study effect on solution. Mass increases, decreases an increase in both s...

Diabetes mellitus is a big public health problem in Indonesia. The length of time suffering from DM associated with decrease the function pancreatic beta cells resulting insulin resistance, which occurs type 2 diabetes mellitus. Insulin resistance can be determined by measuring copeptin levels. aim this study was to determine differences levels human CPP protein (copeptin) patients based on suf...
