Context. Core-collapse Supernovae (CC-SNe) descend from progenitors more massive than about 8 M . Because of the young age of the progenitors, the ejecta may eventually interact with the circumstellar medium (CSM) via highly energetic processes detectable in the radio, X–ray, ultraviolet (UV) and, sometimes, in the optical domains. Aims. In this paper we present ultraviolet, optical and near in...

Water shortage severely restricts vegetation restoration of mining area in the northwest China. Moderate treatment reclaimed water is essential for improving local ecological environment. In this study, relevant quality standards issued by states and research results were comprehensively considered to propose a standard suitable area. The available domestic sewage mine was moderately treated hy...

This paper demonstrates that "social network collaborative filtering" (SNCF), wherein user-selected like-minded alters are used to make predictions, can rival traditional user-to-user collaborative filtering (CF) in predictive accuracy. Using a unique data set from an online community where users rated items and also created social networking links specifically intended to represent likeminded ...

Although an estimated 25 to 40 percent of acute psychoses remit without antipsychotic drug treatment, only limited efforts have been made to identify individuals in early episodes who might be able to recover without medications. This retrospective exploratory study uses baseline information from the Soteria project (young, unmarried, first and second episode DSM-II schizophrenia, n = 179) to d...

OBJECTIVE This study assessed health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and its related factors in HIV/AIDS patients taking antiretroviral treatment (ART) in Vietnam. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted with 1016 patients (36.2% women, mean age = 35.4) in three epicenters of Vietnam, including Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Ho Chi Minh City. HRQOL was assessed using the Vietnamese version of th...

BACKGROUND The exponential growth of image-based diagnostic and minimally invasive interventions requires a detailed three-dimensional anatomical knowledge and increases the demand towards the undergraduate anatomical curriculum. This randomized controlled trial investigates whether musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) or arthroscopic methods can increase the anatomical knowledge uptake. METHODS...

      Screening and identification of moderately halophilic protease producing bacteria from different regions of Maharloo, a hypersaline lake in the southern area of Iran, were the objectives of this study. In the preliminary screening, 16 isolates exhibited proteolytic activity on saline skim milk agar. All isolates were able to grow comfortably in the media containing 7-15% of salt. Protease...

In order to clearly determine the viability of rural development in Afghanistan's Paktika province, information on land use planning that locals may provide is collected. Spatial crucial for province Paktika's development. Effective spatial enables entities including national and state governments, business developers, communities, people avoid duplication effort. The structural basic improveme...

The distribution, microhabitat affinity and availability, and conservative estimates of numbers of Etheostorna chienense, the relict darter, were assessed. All known historical sites and sites in nearby drainages that might harbor the species were surveyed. The relict darter is endemic to the Bayou du Chien drainage, Graves and Hickman counties, Kentucky, where it is most abundant in Jackson Cr...
