    A 2 h periodic variation in the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1

    No full text
    Spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary Ser X-1 using the Gran Telescopio Canarias have revealed a ?2 h periodic variability that is present in the three strongest emission lines. We tentatively interpret this variability as due to orbital motion, making it the first indication of the orbital period of Ser X-1. Together with the fact that the emission lines are remarkably narrow, but still resolved, we show that a main-sequence K dwarf together with a canonical 1.4 M? neutron star gives a good description of the system. In this scenario, the most likely place for the emission lines to arise is the accretion disc, instead of a localized region in the binary (such as the irradiated surface or the stream-impact point), and their narrowness is due instead to the low inclination (?10°) of Ser X-1

    Mesophilic-hydrothermal-thermophilic (M-H-T) digestion of green corn straw

    Mesophilic-hydrothermal (80-160 degrees C, 30 min)-thermophilic (M-H-T) digestion and control tests of mesophilic (M), thermophilic (T), hydrothermal-mesophilic (H-M), and mesophilic-thermophilic digestion (M-T) of green corn straw were conducted for a 20-day fermentation period. The results indicate that M-H-T is an efficient method to improve methane production. A maximum methane yield of 371.74 mL/g volatile solid was obtained by the M (3 days)-H (140 degrees C)-T (17 days) process, which was 20.44%, 16.55%, 31.44%, and 14.31% higher than the yields of the M, T, 140-M, and M-T processes. The enhanced methane production was attributed to (1) the improved hemicellulose degradation and lignin disorganization; (2) prevention of the degradation of soluble sugar, easily hydrolyzed hemicellulose and cellulose into furfural and methylfurfural; and (3) lack of formation of Maillard reaction products during initial hydrothermal treatment.

    Contribution of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in Country’S H-Index

    No full text
    The aim of this study is to examine the effect of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development on country’s scientific ranking as measured by H-index. Moreover, this study applies ICT development sub-indices including ICT Use, ICT Access and ICT skill to find the distinct effect of these sub-indices on country’s H-index. To this purpose, required data for the panel of 14 Middle East countries over the period 1995 to 2009 is collected. Findings of the current study show that ICT development increases the H-index of the sample countries. The results also indicate that ICT Use and ICT Skill sub-indices positively contribute to higher H-index but the effect of ICT access on country’s H-index is not clear.Cite as: FARHADI, M., SALEHI, H., EMBI, M.

    Lah–Ribarič type inequalities for (h, g; m)-convex functions

    No full text
    Recently introduced new class of (h, g; m)-convex functions unifies a certain range of convexity, thus allowing the generalizations of know results. In this paper we prove Lah–Ribarič type inequalities for (h, g; m)-convex functions from which we obtain inequalities of Hermite–Hadamard, Fejér, Giaccardi, Popoviciu and Petrović. © 2021, The Author(s) under exclusive licence to The Royal Academy of Sciences, Madrid

    Newspaper Article - 'Mrs. H. M. Evers' - Mrs. Evers hopes she can learn much about the living conditions here and the possibilities for the Dutch settlers.Alberta Women's Institutes; AWI CollectionMRS. H. M. EVERS I bring out his capital immediately and until such time as their cap­ital is released things are quite difficult. "' There are very few provinces in Canada that will sup­ply the Dutch settlers with a loan", Mr. Jensma stated. On her arrival here Mrs. Evers i was astounded at the unusua1. building of the city and the large • ields of wheat. " Of course we have wheat too, but ours is only a small country so we have to be very economical and not spend out land too freely". The buildings are much taller and narrower, es­pecially in the cities. Wood is very expensive so most of the homes are built of brick and concrete with corrugated steel and tile roofs. Give True Picture In her travels across the country Mrs. Evers hopes she can lenrn much about the living conditions here and the possibilities for the Dutch settlers so when she re- | turns to her homeland she will b- i able to give the women of Holland all the information possible and prepare them for their great ad­venture. Mrs. Evers and her family re­side on a 150 acre farm in the northern part of the country. Her daughter Tjaakje is a teacher in home economics and her son. Luken, works on the farm. Besides serving on the immigra­tion board she is a member of the international board of the YWCA; the international Council of Wo­men: international corporation of Dutch Country Wives: the inter­national organization of the As­sociated Country Women of thr World: and a member of the Wo­men's Institutes. She will leave on Tuesday for Toronto, where she will be met by Mr. W. Blome. who is with the Netherlands Immigration Board in Ottawa.

    No full text
    This article investigates new inequalities for generalized Riemann–Liouville fractional integrals via the refined (α, h− m) -convex function. The established results give refinements of fractional integral inequalities for (h− m) -convex, (α, m) -convex, (s, m) -convex, and related functions. Also, the k-fractional versions of given inequalities by using a parameter substitution are provided. © 2021, The Author(s)
