We report on the morphological and spectral evolution of SNR 1987A from the monitoring observations with the Chandra/ACIS. As of 2005, the X-ray-bright lobes are continuously brightening and expanding all around the ring. The softening of the overall X-ray spectrum also continues. The X-ray lightcurve is particularly remarkable: i.e., the recent soft X-ray flux increase rate is significantly de...

A 61-year-old woman was referred to surgery for incidentally found colonic polyps during a health examination. Physical examination revealed widespread eczematous skin lesion without pruritus in the perianal and vulvar area. Abdominopelvic computed tomography showed an approximately 4-cm-sized, soft tissue lesion in the right perianal area. Inguinal lymph node dissection and Mils' operation ext...

We report on cylindrical permanent-magnet structures that exploit the image effect in a surrounding circular soft-iron sheath. We present the theory for a general multipole ring, where the polarization direction = ( + 1) is a positive or negative integer, and is the angular coordinate. For the uniformly magnetized case = 1, a long cylindrical ring produces no field in its bore, and the field ou...

The new Storage Ring BESSY II in Berlin Germany is a dedicated third generation synchrotron radiation source for the VUV and soft X-ray spectral range [1]. On April 22, 1998 a 1.7 GeV electron beam was stored for the first time. Despite a relatively short time for commissioning of the synchrotron radiation source, the milestones were met as scheduled. Accelerator parameters that determine the q...

During dental sinus lift surgery, it is important to monitor the thickness of the remaining maxilla to avoid perforating the sinus membrane. Therefore, a sensor should be integrated into ultrasonic dental tools to prevent undesirable damage. This paper presents a piezoelectric (PZT) sensor installed in an ultrasonic transducer to measure the stiffness of high and low materials. Four design type...

The aromatic polymer lignin protects plants from most forms of microbial attack. Despite the fact that a significant fraction of all lignocellulose degraded passes through arthropod guts, the fate of lignin in these systems is not known. Using tetramethylammonium hydroxide thermochemolysis, we show lignin degradation by two insect species, the Asian longhorned beetle (Anoplophora glabripennis) ...

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce and study new classes of soft closed sets like soft regular generalized b-closed sets in soft topological spaces (briefly soft rgb-closed set) Moreover, soft rg-closed, soft gpr-closed, soft gb-closed, soft gsp-closed, soft g$alpha$-closed, soft g$alpha$b-closed, and soft sgb-closed sets in soft topological spaces are introduced in this paper and w...

The SPECIES beamline has been transferred to the new 1.5 GeV storage ring at MAX IV Laboratory. Several improvements have made and its endstations during transfer. Together Ambient Pressure X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy Resonant Inelastic Scattering are capable of conducting photoelectron spectroscopy in elevated pressure regimes with enhanced time-resolution flux scattering experiments impr...
