AGN activity and the misaligned hot ISM in the compact radio elliptical NGC4278
(2012-10-20)
The analysis of a deep (579ks) Chandra ACIS pointing of the elliptical galaxy NGC4278, which hosts a low-luminosity active galactic nucleus (AGN) and compact radio emission, allowed us to detect extended emission from hot ...
Adagio No.8
(Redtory, 2012-10-20)
The soundtrack to Adagio No.8 investigates strategies of synchronisation in the context of video material exhibiting a prominent visual rhythm. Rather than overloading the visual rhythm with sonic events tightly synchronised ...
Shocks, seyferts, and the supernova remnant connection : A chandra observation of the circinus galaxy
(2012-10-20)
We analyze new Chandra observations of the nearest (D = 4 Mpc) Seyfert 2 active galaxy, Circinus, and match them to pre-existing radio, infrared, and optical data to study the kpc-scale emission. The proximity of Circinus ...
Tactile modulation of emotional speech samples
(2012-10-17)
Traditionally only speech communicates emotions via mobile phone. However, in daily communication the sense of touch mediates emotional information during conversation. The present aim was to study if tactile stimulation ...
Chitosan coated alginate beads for the survival of microencapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum in pomegranate juice
(2012-10-15)
This work studied the effect of multi-layer coating of alginate beads on the survival of encapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum in simulated gastric solution and during storage in pomegranate juice at 4°C. Uncoated, single ...
A Knowledge Perspective on Ambicultural Management
(2012-10-12)
Gaining access to markets, natural resources and technological expertise, and learning from local marketing and management knowledge and skills have been identified as the main factors behind Chinese firms’ foreign direct ...
Fear appeals in anti-smoking advertising : how important is self-efficacy?
(2012-10-11)
Fear appeals are frequently used in anti-smoking advertising. The evidence on the effectiveness of fear appeals is mixed, and in some studies strong fear appeals have been found to reinforce the undesirable behaviour. ...
Nucleosynthesis in core-collapse supernova explosions triggered by a quark-hadron phase transition
(2012-10-10)
We explore heavy-element nucleosynthesis in the explosion of massive stars that are triggered by a quark-hadron phase transition during the early post-bounce phase of core-collapse supernovae. The present study is based ...
