High ambient interstellar pressure is suggested as a possible factor to explain the ubiquitous observed growth-rate discrepancy for supernova-driven superbubbles and stellar wind bubbles. Pressures of P/k ∼ 10 cm K are plausible for regions with high star formation rates, and these values are intermediate between the estimated Galactic mid-plane pressure and those observed in starburst galaxies...

Molecular outflows associated with GL 2591 and W28 A2 were observed in the 492 GHz [C I] line. Upper limits are set on the [C I] emission in the extremely high velocity line wings. These limits are discussed in terms of wind-driven and jet-driven models of molecular outflows. Subject headings: ISM: atoms — ISM: individual (GL 2591, W28 A2) — ISM: jets and outflows — ISM: kinematics and dynamics

We report on a survey of NH2D towards protostellar cores in low–mass star formation and quiescent regions in the Galaxy. Twenty–three out of thirty-two observed sources have significant (∼5σ) NH2D emission. Ion–molecule chemistry, which preferentially enhances deuterium in molecules above its cosmological value of 1.6× 10 sufficiently explains these abundances. NH2D/NH3 ratios towards Class 0 s...

an analytical equation of state (eos) developed by ihm-song-mason (ism) has been applied tocalculate some thermophysical properties of molten polymers including poly (1-octene) (po), poly (vinylmethyl ether) (pvme), poly (vinyl chloride) (pvc), and poly (styrene) (ps). three temperature-dependentparameters of the ism eos have been determined based on the alternative scaling constants, dispersiv...

We numerically investigate how minor and major galaxy merging between two late-type disks affects mass distribution of interstellar medium (ISM) surrounding the haloes of disk galaxies. The purpose of this study is to explore dynamical effects of galaxy merging on gas replenishment from galactic haloes, which is generally considered to play vital roles in various aspects of disk galaxy evolutio...

W e are pleased to present this special issue of invited papers from the IEEE International Symposium on Multimedia (ISM), which was held in San Jose, California, 11–13 December 2016. As in past years, this collaboration between IEEE MultiMedia and the ISM organizers facilitates the processing of extended versions of the top 10 ISM papers through a fast-track review and publication schedule. We...

Thought disorder (TD) has been shown to vary in relation to negative affect. Here we examine the role internal source monitoring (iSM, i.e. ability to discriminate between inner speech and verbalized speech) in TD and whether changes in iSM performance are implicated in the affective reactivity effect (deterioration of TD when participants are asked to talk about emotionally-laden topics). Eigh...
