An overview is given of all the magnetic CVs found in the UCT CCD CV Survey (Woudt & Warner 2001, 2002, 2003a). We have identified eight new candidate Intermediate Polars (IP), of which six are classical novae (RR Cha, DD Cir, AP Cru, V697 Sco, V373 Sct, and RXJ1039.7-0507). The two other candidate IPs are Aqr1 (2236+0052) and RXJ0944.5+0357. In addition, there are two probable Polars, namely V...

A computer study is performed to estimate the influence of the small-kT region in the BFKL evolution equation. We consider the small-x region of the deep inelastic structure function F2 and show that the magnitude of the small-kT region depends on Q 2 and xB. We suggest that the width of the log k T -distribution in the final state may serve as an additional footprint of BFKL–dynamics. For diff...

TOPIC: Critical Care TYPE: Medical Student/Resident Case Reports INTRODUCTION: In adult ECMO, veno-venous (VV) dual lumen intrajugular (IJ) cannula placement is verified intra-procedurally with echocardiogram and monitored daily chest radiography (CXR) while bi-femoral lines are pelvic films. Worsening ECMO support prompts evaluation for malposition. Radiographs may suggest proper despite malpo...

In several articles on trace elements in mushrooms erroneous data were published on minerals sequestered in fruiting bodies. The biased analytical data published gave a false picture on the composition and nutritional value of mushrooms with respect to minerals. Wild mushrooms are relatively rich in trace elements and some species can hyperaccumulate certain metals. Selenium as reported in the ...

Chlorine is a minor constituent of most rocks and a minor (although essential) element in plants, but it cycles rapidly through the hydrosphere and atmosphere. In forest ecosystem studies, chloride ion (Cl ) is often thought to be conservative in the sense that the sources and sinks within the ecosystem are assumed negligible compared to inputs and outputs. As such, Cl is often used as a conser...

White specks are undyed spots on d yed fabric, and are commonly caused by nep s. Since quality of a finished garment is determi ned by, among other things, the number of imperfection s contained within the fabric, the inclusion of white specks is detrimental to fabric quality. The manual counti g of neps is not only a time-consuming process, but a lso inconsistent and prone to error because it ...

Up-regulated signaling from the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) has been correlated with tumor invasion and metastasis in numerous human neoplasias. Recently, we have demonstrated that increased levels of EGFR promote the invasiveness of human prostate carcinoma DU145 cells However, the intracellular signaling pathway responsible for this enhanced tumor invasiveness has not been identif...
