Ultralong-Range Rydberg Molecules in a Divalent-Atomic System

We report the creation of ultralong-range Sr$_2$ molecules comprising one ground-state $5s^2$ $^1S_0$ atom and one atom in a $5sns$ $^3S_1$ Rydberg state for $n$ ranging from 29 to 36. Molecules are created in a trapped ultracold atomic gas using two-photon excitation near resonant with the $5s5p$ $^3P_1$ intermediate state, and their formation is detected through ground-state atom loss from the trap. The observed molecular binding energies are fit with the aid of first-order perturbation theory that utilizes a Fermi pseudopotential with effective $s$-wave and $p$-wave scattering lengths to describe the interaction between an excited Rydberg electron and a ground-state Sr atom.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Note on the invariant classification of vacuum type D spacetimes

We illustrate the fact that the class of vacuum type D spacetimes which are $\mathcal{I}$-\emph{non-degenerate} are invariantly classified by their scalar polynomial curvature invariants

Recent advances in pulmonary arterial hypertension [version 1; referees: 2 approved]

Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disorder with a high mortality rate. Treatment options have improved in the last 20 years, but patients still die prematurely of right heart failure. Though rare, it is heterogeneous at the genetic and molecular level, and understanding and exploiting this is key to the development of more effective treatments. BMPR2 , encoding bone morphogenetic receptor type 2, is the most commonly affected gene in both familial and non-familial PAH, but rare mutations have been identified in other genes. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic studies looking for endophenotypes are under way. There is no shortage of candidate new drug targets for PAH, but the selection and prioritisation of these are challenges for the research community

Etude de la croissance relative chez l’escargot Limicolaria flammea (Muller,1774), soumis a deux types de regimes alimentaires

Des naissains de Limicolaria flammea au nombre de 200 ont été soumis à deux types de régimes. Cent d’entre eux ont été nourris avec un mélange de feuilles de Carica papaya (Caricaceae), feuilles de manioc Manihot esculenta tandis que les 100 autres ont été nourris avec un aliment à base de concentré. L’objectif est de comparer les deux types d’aliments et de déterminer le régime alimentaire induisant les meilleures performances biologiques. Chaque mois, 20 escargots de chaque lot sont conduits au laboratoire pour la détermination des paramètres métriques à savoir le poids vif des sujets, la longueur, la largeur et la hauteur des coquilles. Les régimes concentrés ont donné de meilleurs résultats de croissance pondéralepar rapport aux régimes à base de végétaux. La relation existante entre le poids et la largeur est très faible chez les escargots nourris à base de concentré mais le contraire se produit chez les sujets consommateurs d’un mélange de feuilles de végétaux. Qu’ils soient nourris avec un mélange de feuilles de végétaux ou avec un aliment composé, le poids augmente plus vite que la hauteur. Ainsi le régime alimentaire induisant les meilleures performances de croissance pondérale et coquillère et un faible taux de mortalité cumulée est le régime concentré.

One hundred of them were fed on a mixture of Carica papaya leaves (Caricaceae), Manihot esculenta cassava, while the other 100 were fed on concentrate feed. The goal is to compare the two types of foods and determine the diet that induces the best biological performance. Each month, 20 snails of each batch are taken to the laboratory to determine the metric parameters, namely individuals live weight, the length, the width and the height of the shells. Concentrate diets gave better weight growth results compared to plant-based diets. The existing relation ship between weight and width is very low in concentrate-fed snails, but the opposite occurs in individuals consuming a mixture of plant leaves. Whether they are fed with a mixture of plant leaves or with a compound feed, the weight increases faster than the height. So the diet with the best weight and shell growth performance and a cumulative low mortality rate is the concentrate diet. Keywords: Limicolaria flammea, spat, diet
