Aims. We report on the discovery of J0644+3344, a bright deeply eclipsing cataclysmic variable (CV) binary. Methods. Optical photometric and spectroscopic observations were obtained to determine the nature and characteristics of this CV. Results. Spectral signatures of both binary components and an accretion disk can be seen at optical wavelengths. The optical spectrum shows broad H I, He I, an...

We study the relatively isolated galaxy NGC 3344, classified as SABbc, as part of our study of ringed isolated non-barred galaxies. This galaxy shows an inner and an outer ring, together with a small bar inside the inner ring. This bar is too small to relate it directly to the formation of the outer ring and we explore here its origin through HI (WSRT) line data together with broad band BR CCD-...

Cnidii Monnieri [Cnidium monnieri (L.) Cusson] is one of the most common used herbal plants in the treatment of numerous ailments including reproductive diseases for hundred of years. Total coumarins of Cnidii Monnieri (TCCM) is a key ingredient. Osthole (Ost) and Imperatorin (Imp) are two main effective ingredients enriched in TCCM. The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokine...

Mobile IP, as originally specified, defines an authentication extension (the Mobile-Foreign Authentication extension) by which a mobile node can authenticate itself to a foreign agent. Unfortunately, that extension does not provide the foreign agent any direct guarantee that the protocol is protected from replays and does not allow for the use of existing techniques (such as Challenge Handshake...
