Discovery of a New Supernova Remnant in the Direction of G69.7+1.0
We discovered a middle-aged supernova remnant (SNR) in the vicinity of
G69.7+1.0 using the ASCA satellite. G69.7+1.0 was identified in the 2.7 GHz
survey and classified as a shell-type SNR with a diameter of 16 arcmin. During
the ROSAT all-sky survey, the X-ray emission was detected in the direction of
G69.7+1.0. However, it extends beyond the radio shell, and an X-ray bright
region was located outside of the radio shell. A spectral study with the ASCA
and ROSAT shows a thin thermal plasma with an electron temperature of ~0.4 keV.
There is no significant variation of the spectral parameters over the field of
view, except for the lower column density of the eastern part. We also found a
large shell structure which surrounds the X-ray bright region in both optical
and radio images. We suggest that the observed X-ray emission is associated
with the large optical and radio shell, and that they are part of a new SNR,
different from the radio SNR G69.7+1.0, which we have named AX J2001+3235 or
G69.4+1.2. The large shell and the electron temperature of ~0.4 keV indicate
that AX J2001+3235 is an evolved SNR. From a comparison with the column density
of CTB 80 (G69.0+2.7), we estimate that the distance of the SNR is about 2.5

The immediate effects of 10-minute relaxation training on salivary immunoglobulin A (s-IgA) and mood state for Japanese female medical co-workers
This study examined the effects of relaxation training on salivary IgA (s-IgA) and mood state in Japanese female medical workers. Participants were enrolled and assigned to relaxation or control groups. The relaxation group Japanese female medical workers (n = 38, mean age = 33.5 years, SD = 9.6) participated in a lecture on stress for 1 h and had 10 min of relaxation training. The control group (n = 41, mean age = 35.0 years, SD = 8.6) participated in only the lecture. S-IgA was measured, and a self-report mood questionnaire administered before the lecture and then again after the relaxation training for the relaxation group. The control group was measured before and after the lecture. The results showed that s-IgA levels significantly increased after relaxation training in the relaxation group compared with the control group (p = 0.03). A marginally significant intervention effect was observed for mood state (p = 0.06) ; indicating that the relaxation group was more likely to reduce any fatigue and confusion than was the control group. These findings suggest that short-time relaxation training is effective in relaxing mood and causes changes in immunological function
