During its first cycle of observations, the MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescope has observed very high energy γ-rays from fife galactic objects: the Crab Nebula, the SNRs HESS J1813-178 and HESS J1834-087, the Galactic Center and the γ-ray binary LS I +61 303. After a short introduction to the MAGIC telescope and the data analysis procedure, the results of these fife...

The aim of this study was to analyze the effect different supplementation conditions on fatigue and performance in flywheel half-squat tests senior men. Sixteen active males (age: 22.8±4.9 years; body mass index: 23.7±2.4 kgm-2) participated intervention during a 4-week period. Four experimental were established using double-blind design: placebo, caffeine (CAF), beetroot juice (BRJ), combined...

There are errors in the Funding section. The correct funding information is as follows: Research was supported by the Czech Science Foundation (206–08–0640), the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Czech Republic (SVV260 087/2014), and the National Science Foundation (DEB0746560). Mouse pellets and genotyping of allopatric mice were reimbursed from the Czech Science Foundation (P506–1...

The recently discovered extended TeV source HESS J1834-087 is associated with both a diffuse X-ray enhancement and a molecular cloud, projected at the center of an old radio supernova remnant G23.3-0.3 (SNR W41). New HI observations from the VLA Galactic Plane Survey (VGPS) show unambiguous structures associated with W41 in the radial velocity range of 53 to 63 km/s, so we obtain W41 distance o...

In this paper, we present an empirical analysis of deregulated electricity prices. We begin by examining the distributional and temporal properties of the price process in a non-parametric framework. This analysis is followed by comparing the forecasting ability of several different statistical models. The findings reveal several characteristics unique to electricity prices including determinis...

In order to provide a firm identification of the newly discovered Galactic TeV sources, a search for counterparts in a broad band from soft X-ray to soft gamma-rays is crucial as data in these wavebands allow us to distinguish between different types of suggested models (for example leptonic versus hadronic) and, in turn, to disentangle their nature. In this paper, we report the results of a se...

BACKGROUND Most cases of hyponatremia--serum sodium concentration ([Na+]) < 135 mEq/l (< 135 mM)--are associated with an elevated plasma arginine vasopressin level. This study investigated the efficacy and tolerability of intravenous conivaptan (YM087), a vasopressin V1A/V2-receptor antagonist, in treating euvolemic and hypervolemic hyponatremia. METHODS Eighty-four hospitalized patients with...
