On the basis of the neutrino emission from the isotropic S0 neutron superfluid vortexes in neutron star interiors, we propose a rocket model of neutrino jet for the observed pulsar kick.

We review the recent data on the knot HST-1 in the M87 jet in the context of typical blazar behavior. In particular we discuss the wide-band flare of 2005 which peaked at a factor of 50 to 80 times the intensity observed in 2000; the superluminal radio features; and the arguments that support the hypothesis that HST-1 was the source of the excess TeV emission found by H.E.S.S. in 2005. To the e...

The notion of a prolongation of an algebraic variety is developed in an abstract setting that generalises the difference and (Hasse) differential contexts. An interpolating map that compares these prolongation spaces with algebraic jet spaces is introduced and studied.

BACKGROUND Junctional ectopic tachycardia (JET) is a common arrhythmia complicating pediatric cardiac surgery, with many identifiable clinical risk factors but no genetic risk factors to date. OBJECTIVE To test the hypothesis that the angiotensin-converting enzyme insertion/deletion (ACE I/D) polymorphism associates with postoperative JET. METHODS DNA samples were collected from children un...

OBJECTIVE During extracorporeal circulation design and orientation of aortic cannulae tips mainly determine flow pattern in the aortic arch and arch vessels which is the objective of this in vitro study, comparing single versus multiple stream cannulae. METHODS In an aortic arch glass model, jet streams of 21-24 French aortic cannulae which were inserted in the ascending aorta were directed a...

In this paper, analytical arguments are presented that there exists a synchrotron X-ray jet on large scales in most radio-loud AGNs, based on the knowledge of the nature and physics of blazars. In blue blazars and blue-blazar-like radio galaxies, the large scale X-ray jet may get faint along the jet, while in most red blazars and red-blazar-like radio galaxies, the X-ray jet is bright on 10 kpc...

Nonviral jet injection is an applicable technology for in vivo gene transfer of naked DNA. However, little is known about the biodistribution and clearance of jet-injected DNA, or about its localization within tissue and cells. Therefore, in this study we analyzed the intratumoral and systemic biodistribution of jet-injected naked DNA in human colon carcinoma-bearing NCr-nu/nu mice, which were ...

Being subjected to a high-pressure abrasive water jet, solid samples will experience an essential variation of both internal stress and physical characteristics, which is closely associated with the kinetic energy attached to the abrasive particles involved in the jet stream. Here, experiments were performed, with particular emphasis being placed on the kinetic energy attenuation and turbulent ...

The dynamics and stability of extragalactic jets may be strongly influenced by small (and probable) differences in pressure between the jet and the ambient and within the jet itself. The former give rise to expansion and recollimation of the jet. This occurs in the form of conical shocks, or Mach disks, if the pressure difference is large enough. Pressure asymmetries within the jet may trigger ...

We present three dimensional simulations of the interaction of a light hypersonic jet with an inhomogeneous thermal and turbulently supported disk in an elliptical galaxy. These simulations are applicable to the GPS/CSS phase of some extragalactic radio sources. We identify four generic phases in the evolution of such a jet with the interstellar medium. The first is a ‘flood and channel” phase,...
