Recurrent neuroendocrine adenoma of the middle ear: A case report

Les historiens, qui sont rarement des oiseaux de très bon augure pour la vitalité des croyances qu’ils étudient, ont beaucoup écrit, depuis les années 1970, sur le purgatoire, ce troisième « lieu » de l’au-delà catholique, situé entre enfer et paradis. Support d’une dévotion très populaire, il a connu en Europe trois pics successifs de popularité, à la fin du Moyen Âge, au xviie et au xixe siècles. Le dogme et la croyance ont ainsi puissamment structuré dans la longue durée le rapport aux morts dans les sociétés de culture catholique, en leur conférant une « utilité » particulière, à la fois matérielle, institutionnelle, pastorale et anthropologique, que cet article s’efforce d’explorer.Historians are people who rarely contribute to the continued vitality of the beliefs they study. Since the 1970’s they have written a lot about purgatory, the third place in the catholic beyond. This is situated in between hell and paradise. The belief was the basis of a very popular cult which peaked in popularity in three different periods, one at the end of the Middle Ages, another in the seventeenth and a third in the nineteenth century. The dogma and the belief in purgatory have thus for long periods powerfully structured the relation to the dead in catholic cultures and have given these a particular “usefulness” whether this concerns material, institutional, pastoral or anthropological aspects. The paper attempts to explore these issues

To know the effect of treatment, then the analysis of variance and if the treatment has real effect continued with BNT advanced test. Based on the result of the research, it can be concluded that the addition of noni flour as substitution of tapioca flour to 7.5% can increase the protein tuna burger protein by 14.87%, moisture content 71.07% and ash content 2.07%, and aroma, taste, color, and texture are relatively the same on all treatment

Size Structure, Growth Pattern, And Condition Factor Of Red Lolosi Fish (Caesio chrysozona, Cuvier, 1830) From The Bay Of Ratatotok Subdistrict, Southeast Minahasa Tenggara District

The research was conducted in December 2016 in Totok Bay, Ratatotok Subdistrict, with the aim to know the size structure, growth pattern and condition factor of red lolosi fish (Caesio chrysozona). It is expected that this research can provide basic information to monitor the presence of these fish in the future, especially in the territorial waters of Ratatotok. The name of red lolosi fish is a local name in North Sulawesi. Fish with the scientific name Caesio chrysozona is commonly found around the coral reefs and shallow rocky coastal waters. Data were collected in the field by taking a random sample of fish from the catch of fishermen who are still in a fishing boat. The number of fish samples taken to be analyzed were 66. Based on the measurement of 66 individuals of red lolosi, the structure size is as follows: male (51 head) with total length of 180 mm - 259 mm, length of fork 153 mm - 216 mm, and raw length 135mm - 200 mm. While body weight ranges from 71.38 gr - 217.18 grams and females (15 fish) with a total length range of 196 mm - 243 mm, fork length of 165 mm - 209 mm, and standard length of 149 mm - 185 mm. While body weight ranges from 110.22 gr - 193.99 gr. The growth pattern of red lolosi fish both male and female is a negative allometric growth pattern (b <3) where the length of fish increase faster than weight gain. The condition factor of each individual male and female varies with the value of the male condition factor ranging from 0.8094 - 1.2547 and females ranged from 0.9668 to 1.0281. Because the value of K ranged 1 then the conclusion is that male and female of red lolosi fish have a less flat shape. This causes the loss of weight of fish due to the influence of food, age, sex and gonad maturity. ABSTRAK Penelitian dilakukan pada bulan Desember 2016 di Teluk Totok Kecamatan Ratatotok, dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui struktur ukuran, pola pertumbuhan dan faktor kondisi dari ikan lolosi merah (Caesio chrysozona).  Ikan lolosi merah adalah nama lokal di Sulawesi Utara, dan ditemukan cukup berlimpah di  sekitar terumbu karang dan perairan dangkal yang berbatu-batu di Teluk TotokPengambilan sampel di lapangan  dilakukan dengan metoda sampling yaitu dengan cara mengambil sampel ikan secara acak dari hasil tangkapan nelayan yang masih berada dalam perahu nelayan.  Jumlah sampel ikan yang diambil untuk dianalisis sebanyak  66 ekor. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian terhadap 66 individu lolosi merah, diperoleh struktur ukuran sebagai berikut: jantan (51 ekor) dengan kisaran panjang total 180 mm - 259 mm,.  Sedangkan berat tubuh berkisar dari 71.38 gr – 217.18 gr,  dan betina (15 ekor) dengan kisaran panjang total 196 mm - 243 mm, Sedangkan berat tubuh berkisar dari 110.22 gr – 193.99 gr.  Pola pertumbuhan ikan lolosi merah baik jantan maupun betina adalah pola pertumbuhan allometrik negatif ( b < 3)  dimana pertambahan panjang ikan lebih cepat dari  pertambahan beratnya.

Large Isospin mixing in phi radiative decay and the spatial size of the f0(980)- a0(980) meson

The measured rate for phi to gamma f0(980) appears to be larger than allowed on rather general grounds. We show that mixing between the f0(980) and a0(980), due to their dynamical interaction with the nearby KKbar thresholds, radically affects some existing predictions of their production in phi radiative decay. We predict that Gamma(phi to gamma f0)/Gamma(phi to gamma a_0) approx 3; that sum (b.r.(phi to gamma f0) + b.r. (phi to gamma a_0)) < 5 x 10^-4 with probable individual branching ratios 2 x 10^-4 and 0.7 x 10^-4 respectively.Comment: 7 pages, Late

Mode locking using a type II multiple-quantum-well structure as a fast saturable absorber

We demonstrate the application of a type II AlGal-.xAs/AlAs multiple quantum well as a fast saturable absorber in a hybridly mode-locked dye laser. Type II multiple quantum wells are promising for this application because of the fast recovery of the saturated absorption with picosecond or even subpicosecond time constants. We obtain almost transform-limited pulses as short as 0.9 psec for a type II sample with a recovery time of 2.3 psec. Passive or hybrid (active-passive) mode locking requires saturable absorbers with recovery times Ta that are short in comparison with the recovery time rg of the saturable gain.1 2 Generally, suitable dyes are used in passive or hybrid mode-locked dye laser systems, such as DODCI in combination with Rhodamine 6G in the colliding-pulse mode-locked laser. Semiconductor materials are also attractive for saturable absorbers because of the large optical nonlinearities that can be obtained, particularly in quantum-well structures. 3 However, in high-quality materials the recovery time of the saturated absorption is quite slow owing to the long carrier recombination time constants, which are in the nanosecond range for materials such as GaAs or InP, related alloys, and quantumwell structures. Thus applications as saturable absorbers for mode locking at high repetition rates as well as applications in optical processing, where fast switching at high bit rates is required, are not always possible. To overcome this the recombination lifetime can be reduced by creation of defects, e.g., by ion bombardment, which results in an increased concentration of nonradiative centers. 2 In fact, mode locking of a GaAs semiconductor laser at a repetition rate of 2 GHz with a proton-bombarded quantum-well saturable absorber has been reported, and pulses of 1.6 psec have been achieved. 2 Much shorter pulses, down to 120 fsec, have been obtained by passive mode locking of color-center lasers with HgCdTe multiple-quantum-well (MQW) saturable absorbers. 7 The nonlinearity responsible for saturable absorption in semiconductors is due to exciton bleaching. In semiconductor quantum wells like GaAs/AlGaAs electronic states are confined in one dimension, which results in an increase of exciton binding energy and oscillator strength compared with that of bulk material. In the normal, so-called type I structures, the upper valence band and lowest conduction band states are spatially located in the material with the smaller band gap, i.e., electrons and holes are confined in the same slab, e.g., in GaAs if the type I GaAs/AlGaAs structures are considered. The recovery time of the optical nonlinearity in these type I structures is generally determined by the recombination lifetime, which is of the order of 1 nsec at room temperature. Type II structures, in contrast, are characterized by a spatial separation within the different slabs of the quantumwell structure of the upper valence band and the lowest conduction band states. The lowest-lying electronic conduction band states of type II AlxGal-,As/ AlAs MQW structures originate from X-conduction band states of the indirect-gap AlAs material 8 and thus are basically confined in the AlAs barrier material. The upper valence band states with r symmetry, however, are confined to the AlGaAs well. The absorption spectrum in these type II samples is governed by the direct optical transitions at higher energies, involving the r valence band and the X-conduction band states of Al.Gal~-As, since the oscillator strength for the indirect r-X transition is smaller by orders of magnitude. 8 Optical pump and probe experiments at the resonance peak of the lowest-lying direct heavy-hole excitonic transition reveal a partial recovery of the bleached absorption with a picosecond or even subpicosecond time constant 7 that is much 0146-9592/91/040241-03$5.00/
