Mid-Infrared Extinction and its Variation with Galactic Longitude
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)
Based on the data obtained from the Spitzer/Galactic Legacy InfraredMidplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIPMSE) Legacy Program and the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) project, we derive the extinction in the four IRAC bands, ...
ACE inhibitors and ARBs: One or the other -- not both -- for high-risk patients
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
Avoid prescribing an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) for patients at high risk of vascular events or renal dysfunction. The combination does not reduce poor outcomes, ...
Let them eat nuts -- this snack is safe for diverticulosis patients
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
Tell patients with diverticular disease that they can eat nuts, corn, and popcorn without fear. There is no truth to the long-held belief that these foods increase the risk of complications. Strength of recommendatin: B: ...
Mass Loss History of the AGB star, R Cas
(2009)
We report here on the discovery of an extended far-infrared shell around the AGB star, R Cassiopeia, made by AKARI and Spitzer. The extended, cold circumstellar shell of R Cas spans nearly 3′ and is probably shaped by ...
Ice chemistry in embedded young stellar objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)
We present spectroscopic observations of a sample of 15 embedded young stellar objects (YSOs) in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). These observations were obtained with the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph (IRS) as part
of ...
3-D Dynamics of Interactions between Stellar Winds and the Interstellar Medium as Seen by AKARI and Spitzer
(2009)
Recent far-infrared mapping of mass-losing stars by the AKARI Infrared Astronomy Satellite and Spitzer Space Telescope have suggested that far-infrared bow shock structures are probably ubiquitous around these masslosing ...
Roll-out of the "Mizzou Advantage"
(University of Missouri, 2009)
Approximately three years ago, MU began an exercise to define "strategic advantages" that could place the University within higher education in an extremely strong, competitive position. The idea was to identify MU's ...
Initiating antidepressant therapy? Try these 2 drugs first
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
When you initiate antidepressant therapy for patients who have not been treated for depression previously, select either sertraline or escitalopram. A large meta- analysis found these medications to be superior to other ...
Migraine treatment tweak could reduce office visits
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
Add dexamethasone to the standard treatment of moderate to severe migraine headache; a single dose (8-24 mg) may prevent short-term recurrence, resulting in less need for medication and fewer repeat visits to the office ...
Suspect an eating disorder? Suggest CBT
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
Refer patients with eating disorder not otherwise specified (NOS) for cognitive behavioral therapy. CBT, which has proven to be the most useful behavioral treatment for bulimia, has now been shown to be effective for ...
When to suggest this OC alternative
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
Recommend continuous or extended use of the transvaginal contraceptive ring to women who want fewer days of menstrual bleeding and have trouble remembering to, or prefer not to, take a daily pill. If breakthrough bleeding ...
Use physical therapy to head off this deformity in infants
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
Identify infants with positional preference early and consider referral to pediatric physical therapy at 7 or 8 weeks to prevent severe deformational plagiocephaly (DP). Stength of recommendation: B: Based on a single ...
Arthroscopic surgery for knee osteoarthritis? Just say no
(Family Physicians Inquiries Network, 2009)
Do not recommend arthroscopic surgery to adults with osteoarthritis of the knee. Treat knee pain with medical and physical therapy instead. Stength of recommendation: A: Based on 2 high-quality randomized controlled trials.
A Firework of H2 Knots in the planetary nebula NGC 7293 (The Helix Nebula)
(American Astronomical Society, 2009)
We present a deep and wide field-of-view (4 × 7 ) image of the planetary nebula (PN) NGC 7293 (the Helix Nebula) in the 2.12 μm H2 v = 1 → 0 S(1) line. The excellent seeing (0. 4) at the Subaru Telescope, allows
the ...
Magnetic and Orbital Order in LaMnO3 under Uniaxial Strain: A Model Study
(arXiv, 2009)
The effect of uniaxial strain on electronic structure and magnetism in LaMnO3 is studied from a
model Hamiltonian that illustrates the competition between the Jahn-Teller, super exchange, and
double exchange interactions. ...
Polar catastrophe, electron leakage, and magnetic ordering at the LaMnO3/SrMnO3 interface
(arXiv, 2009)
Electronic reconstruction at the polar interface LaMnO3/SrMnO3 (LMO/SMO) (100) resulting
from the polar catastrophe is studied from a model Hamiltonian that includes the double and super exchange interactions, the Madelung ...
Engineering artificial graphene in a two-dimensional electron gas
(American Physical Society, 2009)
At low energy, electrons in doped graphene sheets behave like massless Dirac fermions with a Fermi velocity, which does not depend on carrier density. Here we show that modulating a two-dimensional electron gas with a ...
Linear Continuum Mechanics for Quantum Many-Body Systems
(American Physical Society, 2009)
We develop the continuum mechanics of quantum many-body systems in the linear response regime. The basic variable of the theory is the displacement field, for which we derive a closed equation of motion under the assumption ...
Spin Hall Drag
(arXiv, 2009)
We predict a new effect in electronic bilayers: the {\it Spin Hall Drag}. The effect consists in the generation of spin accumulation across one layer by an electric current along the other layer. It arises from the combined ...
Time-dependent density-functional approach for exciton binding energies
(American Physical Society, 2009)
Optical processes in insulators and semiconductors, including excitonic effects, can be described in principle exactly using time-dependent density-functional theory (TDDFT). Starting from a linearization of the TDDFT ...
