Asteroid models from the Lowell Photometric Database

We use the lightcurve inversion method to derive new shape models and spin states of asteroids from the sparse-in-time photometry compiled in the Lowell Photometric Database. To speed up the time-consuming process of scanning the period parameter space through the use of convex shape models, we use the distributed computing project Asteroids@home, running on the Berkeley Open Infrastructure for Network Computing (BOINC) platform. This way, the period-search interval is divided into hundreds of smaller intervals. These intervals are scanned separately by different volunteers and then joined together. We also use an alternative, faster, approach when searching the best-fit period by using a model of triaxial ellipsoid. By this, we can independently confirm periods found with convex models and also find rotation periods for some of those asteroids for which the convex-model approach gives too many solutions. From the analysis of Lowell photometric data of the first 100,000 numbered asteroids, we derived 328 new models. This almost doubles the number of available models. We tested the reliability of our results by comparing models that were derived from purely Lowell data with those based on dense lightcurves, and we found that the rate of false-positive solutions is very low. We also present updated plots of the distribution of spin obliquities and pole ecliptic longitudes that confirm previous findings about a non-uniform distribution of spin axes. However, the models reconstructed from noisy sparse data are heavily biased towards more elongated bodies with high lightcurve amplitudes

Combustion Gas Properties I-ASTM Jet a Fuel and Dry Air

A series of computations was made to produce the equilibrium temperature and gas composition for ASTM jet A fuel and dry air. The computed tables and figures provide combustion gas property data for pressures from 0.5 to 50 atmospheres and equivalence ratios from 0 to 2.0

"Worship at Times of Killings and Confusion Equals Migration to Me" /

This research is concerned with the study of Prophet Mohammad's Hadith "Worship at times of killings and confusion equals migration to me" from the perspective of narrative and text criteria. It attempts to elaborate the Hadith's benefits and related academic issues. It also shows the Islamic approach to dealing with afflictions / confusing trials. It aims to rank the Hadith in terms of authenticity and weakness, to show the similarity between worship at trial times and migration to the Prophet, and to highlight the Islamic approach to trials. The research applies an analytical deductive methodology. It has arrived at the following conclusions: Prophet Mohammad cared for his nation, guided it, conveyed to it what guarantees success in this world and the hereafter; the Qur'an and the Sunnah contain the approach that must be followed at times of trials and killing; at such times, acts of worship and righteous deeds are important; and it is important to test information, especially that circulating in the social media. The research makes recommendations, amongst which are the following: organize conferences and forums on causes and solutions for affliction trials; conducting related research projects by universities and research centers to elaborate the Islamic approach at trial times; and make use of the mainstream and social media to reinforce the values of social cohesion, preventing confusion and dissension

Enfermedad arterial periférica y control glucémico inadecuado en pacientes diabéticos

La Diabetes Mellitus es una entidad de etiología multifactorial, se distingue por presentar afectación del tipo celular beta del páncreas, cuando cursan con valores de hemoglobina glicosilada < 7% en fase inicial de la patología está asociado a reducción de complicaciones microvasculares; por ello este estudio de investigación esquematizó como objetivo general identificar la relación entre la enfermedad arterial periférica y control glucémico inadecuado en pacientes diabéticos, cuya metodología empleada incluía un tipo de investigación básica, no experimental, relacional; en donde se realizó un análisis documental a mediante la recolección de información de 168 historias clínicas, cuya población estuvo comprendida por los pacientes con diabetes mellitus, mayores de 18 años integrados en un Hospital de Chimbote, siendo los criterios de inclusión aquellos individuos con diagnóstico de diabetes Mellitus y edad superior a 18 años atendidos durante los años 2022 y 2023; por ultimo en el método de análisis de datos se ejecutó la prueba no paramétrica de independencia de criterios empleando Chicuadrado con un P<0.05 y el odds ratio. Conclusiones: Según lo evidenciado con respecto a la relación entre enfermedad arterial periférica y control glucémico inadecuado se puede inferir que no guarda relación significativa
