Evidence for long-term variability in the ultra high energy photon flux from Cygnus X-3
A time-correlation analysis of atmospheric Cerenkov pulses by a wide-angle photomultiplier system was previously shown to have present in it a nonrandom component which seemed associated with the Right Ascension (RA) range approx. 20+or-04h. A recent examination of multi-muon events recorded by a photon-decay detector shows a similar time-dependent effect, closely matching the previous results, supporting the suggestion that the effect is of cosmic origin. However, even though Cyg. X-3 lies well inside the region of peak intensity, it does not seem possible to ascribe to it the whole effect, for the implied photon flux appears too large to be reconciled to various gamma-ray measurements of Cyg. X-3. The original data were subjected to a phase-histogram analysis and it as found that only 2.5% of overall recorded data are compatible with a phase-dependent emission from Cyg. X-3. Assuming these events to be gamma rays yields a detected flux of (2.6 + or - 0.3) x 10 to the minus 12th power gamma cm -2s-1 above 5 x 10 to the 14th power eV. Comparing this value with more recent ultra high energy (UHE) photon data from the same source, it is suggested that the available data generally favor a long-term reduction in the Cyg. X-3 inferred luminosity ( 10 to the 13th power eV) by a factor of (1.8 + or - 0.3) per year
Studies on Liver Marker Enzymes (SGOT and SGPT) of Fish Heteropneustes Fossilis (Bloch.) After Famfos Intoxication
Pesticide pollution is on increase through its increasing application in almost every field either it is household or agriculture where it is used widely. These pesticides reach to aquatic life by means of runoff water and other ways. The residual impact is increasing in aquatic fauna. Fishes are the best indicator of aquatic pollution and also used for human consumption. The residual effect adversely affects the liver marker enzymes (in serum) of fishes which are measured and discussed in the present study to assess the extent of damage caused by non-target effect of famfos to Heteropneustes fossilis (Bloch.)
Electromagnetically induced transparency in cold 85Rb atoms trapped in the ground hyperfine F = 2 state
We report electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) in cold 85Rb atoms,
trapped in the lower hyperfine level F = 2, of the ground state 5
(Tiwari V B \textit{et al} 2008 {\it Phys. Rev.} A {\bf 78} 063421). Two steady
state -type systems of hyperfine energy levels are investigated using
probe transitions into the levels F = 2 and F = 3 of the
excited state 5 in the presence of coupling transitions F = 3
F = 2 and F = 3 F = 3, respectively. The
effects of uncoupled magnetic sublevel transitions and coupling field's Rabi
frequency on the EIT signal from these systems are studied using a simple
theoretical model.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figure
On the Structure of
A new structure for is proposed which it exists in tetragonal
state. In this structure the molecule exists in a nonlinear array
and forms the basis of the tetragonal unit cell with one basis per unit cell.
The structural analysis based on the reflections listed in ASTM 30-1479 shows
that the proposed structure is correct.Comment: six pages and four figures. Manuscript prepared in RevTe
