We discuss three topics related to the neutron star (NS) mass spectrum. At first we discuss the possibility to form low-mass (M < ∼ 1M⊙) and suggest this is possible only due to fragmentation of rapidly rotating proto-NSs. Such low-mass NSs should have very high spatial velocities which could allow identification. A critical assessment of this scenario is given. Secondly, we discuss mass growth...

purpose: to present a case of unilateral epibulbar dermoid cyst in a girl with vacterl syndrome. case report: a 4-year-old girl was referred with a white, soft and painless mass in the inferotemporal limbus of the left eye having presented since birth. the patient was healthy with normal growth. other ocular examinations were normal. systematic review revealed a group of abnormalities including...

This is the vignette of the Bioconductor add-on package IPPD which implements automatic isotopic pattern extraction from a raw protein mass spectrum. Basically, the user only has to provide mass/charge channels and corresponding intensities, which are automatically decomposed into a list of monoisotopic peaks. IPPD can handle several charge states as well as overlaps of peak patterns. 1 Aims an...

We study the spectrum of 1+1 dimensional large N QCD coupled to an adjoint Majorana fermion of mass m. As m → 0 this model makes a transition from confinement to screening. We argue that in this limit the spectrum becomes continuous for mass greater than twice the mass of the lightest bound state. This critical mass is nothing but the threshold for a decay into two lightest states. We present n...

We consider the mass spectrum of the 3d 3-state Potts model in the broken phase (a) near the second order Ising critical point in the temperature magnetic field plane and (b) near the weakly first order transition point at zero magnetic field. In the case (a), we compare the mass spectrum with the prediction from universality of mass ratios in the 3d Ising class; in the case (b), we determine a...

The SwePep database is designed for endogenous peptides and mass spectrometry. It contains information about the peptides such as mass, pl, precursor protein and potential post-translational modifications. Here, we have improved and extended the SwePep database with tandem mass spectra, by adding a locally curated version of the global proteome machine database (GPMDB). In peptidomic experiment...

In the presence of mixing between massive neutrino states, the distortion of the electron spectrum in beta decay is, in general, a function of several masses and mixing angles. For 3ν-schemes which describe the solar and atmospheric neutrino data, this distortion can be described by a single effective mass, under certain conditions. In the literature, two different definitions for the effective...

Star formation is intimately linked to the dynamical evolution of molecular clouds. Turbulent fragmentation determines where and when protostellar cores form, and how they contract and grow in mass via competitive accretion from the surrounding cloud material. This process is investigated, using numerical models of self-gravitating molecular cloud dynamics, where no turbulent support is include...

We measured neutron energy spectra for the photonuclear reactions of 16.6 MeV linearly polarized photons on Pb, Au, Sn, Cu, Fe and Ti. The each target show dependence mass, as well angle between directions emission polarization. components angular were extracted from compare with excited levels residual nuclei. Based data, we discuss a plan further experiments to clearly observe features spectra.
