We identify nearby disk galaxies with optical structural parameters similar to those of intermediateredshift compact blue galaxies. By comparing H I and optical emission-line widths, we show that the optical widths substantially underestimate the true kinematic widths of the local galaxies. By analogy, optical emission-line widths may underrepresent the masses of intermediate-z compact objects....

The association between acute renal disease and infection has been known since the mid ‘800s. PIGN is a reactive immunological process against kidney secondary to an infection, classically caused by Streptococcus. Because usually ongoing at time GN diagnosed, term infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) proposed. Acute post-streptococcal [APSGN] most common form of encountered in children. ...

BACKGROUND Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is an important problem in cattle production that is responsible for economic losses in dairy herds. Mycoplasma spp. are described as an important etiological agent of BRD. HYPOTHESIS To evaluate the occurrence of the most important mycoplasmas in the lower respiratory tract of healthy and BRD cattle in relationship to clinical signs of BRD. ANIMA...

This work is on development of a method for automatic registration of satellite images acquired on different dates, for both geometric and radiometric correction with respect to a reference image. Mutual information statistics is used as the similarity metric of geometric and radiometric registration. Affine and linear transformations are used in geometric and radiometric correction respectivel...

We study a system containing many particles of identical kinematics with a zero range interaction that scatters one from the other, and with the possible exchange of an attribute. Taking an initial condition in which the attribute is asymmetrically distributed in the regions of momentum space occupied by the particles, we study the rate at which it becomes uniformly distributed, through collisi...
