Pulsar Kicks With Modified URCA and Electrons in Landau Levels
We derive the energy asymmetry given the proto-neutron star during the time
when the neutrino sphere is near the surface of the proto-neutron star, using
the modified URCA process. The electrons produced with the anti-neutrinos are
in Landau levels due to the strong magnetic field, and this leads to asymmetry
in the neutrino momentum, and a pulsar kick. The magnetic field must be strong
enough for a large fraction of the eletrons to be in the lowest Landau level,
however, there is no direct dependence of our pulsar velocity on the strength
of the magnetic field. Our main prediction is that the large pulsar kicks start
at about 10 s and last for about 10 s, with the corresponding neutrinos
correlated in the direction of the magnetic field. We predict a pulsar velocity
of 1.03 km/s, which reaches 1000 km/s if T

Draft genome sequences of two protease-producing strains of <i>Arsukibacterium</i>, isolated from two cold and alkaline environments
Arsukibacterium ikkense GCM72(T) and a close relative, Arsukibacterium sp. MJ3, were isolated from two cold and alkaline environments as producers of extracellular proteolytic enzymes active at high pH and low temperature. This report describes the two draft genome sequences, which may serve as sources of future industrial enzymes
