High quality spectrophotometric observations of 30 Planetary Nebulae in the Galactic Bulge have been made. Accurate reddenings, plasma parameters, and abundances of He, O, N, S, Ar, Cl are derived. We find the abundances of O, S, Ar in the Planetary Nebulae in the Galactic Bulge to be comparable with the abundances of the Planetary Nebulae in the Disk, high abundances being maybe slightly more ...

There is much demand for the development of reliable methods of bulge site recognition in DNA in order to find disease-related mutations and identify bulge sequence environments. Herein, we found that the bulge site in the DNA duplex can be used to selectively grow fluorescent silver nanoclusters (Ag NCs). The as-prepared Ag NCs exhibit an emission behavior dependent on the base environment nea...

BACKGROUND Intact foveal bulge has been associated with good visual outcome in retinal diseases. The aim of this study was to study the variation in foveal bulge with age. METHODS It was an observational cross-sectional study conducted between October 2014 and December 2015. Totally, 101 eyes of 101 healthy volunteers were studied in a tertiary care center. All individuals had best corrected ...

The Exoplanet Euclid Legacy Survey (ExELS) proposes to determine the frequency of cold exoplanets down to Earth mass from host separations of ∼1 AU out to the free-floating regime by detecting microlensing events in Galactic Bulge. We show that ExELS can also detect large numbers of hot, transiting exoplanets in the same population. The combined microlensing+transit survey would allow the first...

Thirty-one RNA duplexes containing single-nucleotide bulge loops were optically melted in 1 M NaCl, and the thermodynamic parameters ΔH°, ΔS°, ΔG°(37), and T(M) for each sequence were determined. The bulge loops were of the group II variety, where the bulged nucleotide is identical to one of its nearest neighbors, leading to ambiguity as to the exact position of the bulge. The data were used to...

Acetamide (CH3CONH2) has been detected in emission and absorption toward the star-forming region Sagittarius B2(N) with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope (GBT) by means of four A-species and four E-species rotational transitions. All transitions have energy levels less than 10 K. The Sgr B2(N) cloud is known to have a cold halo with clumps of gas at several different velocities. Absorption feature...

Aims. We explore the connection between black hole growth at the center of obscured quasars selected from the XMM-COSMOS survey and the physical properties of their host galaxies. We study a bolometric regime (〈Lbol〉 = 8 × 1045 erg s−1) where several theoretical models invoke major galaxy mergers as the main fueling channel for black hole accretion. Methods. To derive robust estimates of the ho...

In sheet metal forming, very often, large plastic deformations are imposed to a thin plate. An accurate description of the material’s elastoplastic response is therefore paramount importance perform finite element (FE) simulations an actual forming operation. Reliable stressstrain data till significantly larger strains compared tensile tests can be identified by means bulge test. this work, dyn...

Using DIRBE and FIRAS maps at high latitude (|b| > 10) we derive the spatial distribution of the dust temperature associated with the diffuse cirrus and the dense molecular clouds. For a ν emissivity law, we find that the equilibrium dust temperature of the cirrus is about 17.5 K with only small variations over the high latitude sky. Comparison of the far Infrared DIRBE maps shows the presence ...

Fluorine (F) abundances are derived in a sample of 6 bulge red giants in Baade’s Window. These giants span a factor of 10 in metallicity and this is the first study to define the behavior of F with metallicity in the bulge. The bulge results show an increase in F/O with increasing oxygen. This trend overlaps what is found in the disk at comparable metallicities, with the most oxygen-rich bulge ...
