Maser action in methanol transitions
We report the detection with the ATCA of 6.7 GHz methanol emission towards
OMC-1. The source has a size between 40'' and 90'', is located to the
south-east of Ori-KL and may coincide in position with the 25 GHz masers. The
source may be an example of an interesting case recently predicted in theory
where the transitions of traditionally different methanol maser classes show
maser activity simultaneously. In addition, results of recent search for
methanol masers from the 25 and 104.3 GHz transitions are reported.Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of the 2004 European Workshop: "Dense

Fine Structure of Vertical Density Distribution in the Black Sea and Its Relationship with Vertical Turbulent Exchange
This paper is concerned with the analysis of the long-term regular time series of current velocity and conductivity, temperature, and depth (CTD) profiles, measured with the moored autonomous profiler Aqualog over the upper part of the continental slope at a fixed geographical location in the Northeastern Black Sea. This study focuses on the fine structure of the density profiles to show that the fine-structure Cox number (C) is a power function of the Richardson number (Ri). A similar inverse power relationship with the same exponent was found earlier for the coefficient of vertical turbulent mass exchange (KÏ) and Ri. Based on those results, the analysis indicated a statistically significant correlation between C and KÏ, which suggests that the estimations of KÏ could be conducted from the CTD data only
