An infrared study of galactic OH/IR stars. I. An optical/near-IR atlas of the Arecibo sample

In this paper we present optical and near-infrared finding charts, accurate astrometry (~1") and single-epoch near-infrared photometry for 371 IRAS sources, 96% of those included in the so-called Arecibo sample of OH/IR stars (Eder et al. 1988; Lewis et al. 1990a; Chengalur et al. 1993). The main photometric properties of the stars in the sample are presented and discussed as well as the problems found during the process of identification of the optical/near-infrared counterparts. In addition, we also identify suitable reference stars in each field to be used for differential photometry purposes in the future. We find that 39% of the sources (144 in number) have no optical counterpart, 8 of them being invisible even at near infrared wavelengths. The relative distribution of sources with and without optical counterpart in the IRAS two-colour diagram and their characteristic near infrared colours are interpreted as the consequence of the increasing thickness of their circumstellar shells. Among the objects not detected at near infrared wavelengths four non-variable sources are proposed to be heavily obscured post-AGB stars which have just very recently left the AGB. Eight additional objects with unusually bright and/or blue near-infrared colours are identified as candidate post-AGB stars and/or proto-planetary nebulae.Comment: 28 pages, 9 figures, for associated finding charts see: http://www.edpsciences.org/articles/aa/full/2005/08/aa1709/FINDING_CHARTS/are cibo_index.htm

Relación flujos-desempeño en fondos de pensiones y fondos de inversión de España

El objetivo de este estudio es analizar si los inversionistas de fondos de pensiones y de fondos de inversión consideran el desempeño alcanzado por el fondo de la misma manera al tomar sus decisiones de inversión. Concretamente, a lo largo de este trabajo comparamos diferentes medidas de desempeño, y analizamos la relación existente entre flujos y desempeño, desde una visión comparada entre fondos de pensiones y fondos de inversión españoles de renta variable global, desde enero de 1999 hasta diciembre de 2013. adicionalmente, se estudia si los resultados cambian según el tamaño del fondo y su posición respecto al mercado. Los resultados muestran que, aunque el desempeño de los fondos de inversión es algo superior, ambos tipos de inversionistas consideran el desempeño alca&nzado por el fondo para tomar sus decisiones de inversión. Asimismo, se observan ciertas diferencias por tamaño, especialmente en los fondos pequeños. Por último, los inversionistas de pensiones penalizan que el fondo se aleje del índice de referencia, mientras que los de inversión recompensan los buenos resultados, independientemente del resultado respecto al mercado

Agua para el desarrollo regional en los Altos de Jalisco. Gestión del agua e impacto social del proyecto El Zapotillo.

Este trabajo es resultado de una investigación dedicada al análisis de impactos sociales relacionados con la gestión del agua (subterránea y superficial) en Los Altos de Jalisco. Esta es una región de alta productividad pecuaria, donde se desarrolla el proyecto hidráulico El Zapotillo, una iniciativa gubernamental con participación privada que ha generado una importante polémica en el contexto estatal, nacional e internacional. El debate gira entorno a la distribución de aguas superficiales, el equilibrio de los acuíferos, el cambio climático y la importancia que tiene el agua en los medios de vida de la población que sería directa e indirectamente afectada por la presa, el trasvase y por la reserva de volúmenes de aguas disponibles. Este trabajo busca aportar a la reflexión sobre la gestión regional del agua en Jalisco y pretende detonar inquietudes que abonen a buscar, identificar y construir alternativas más sustentables que atiendan de manera integral los retos y la urgente necesidad de agua que tienen tanto el campo como la ciudades.Asociación Ganadera Local de San Juan de Los Lagos, Jalisc

Heat Treatment Process Energy Efficient Design and Optimisation

AbstractEnergy efficiency optimization ICT (Information and Communication Technology) solutions are currently being developed for energy saving in buildings and, to some ex-tent, also for the manufacturing domain. This paper describes an approach and ICT tool developed for manufacturing process energy efficiency optimization, in particular focused on the heat treatment process of steel casting parts. Traditionally this manufacturing process is designed based on experts experience selecting a predefined temperature-time curve provided customer specifications for the resulting steel parts. However this curve can actually be optimised in terms of energy consumption while keeping required mechanical properties. This improved design is what the tool here described provides, using knowledge based approach for process design and multivariate optimisation and simulation techniques for process optimisation

For example, one can track how the magnetic field changes in the flow of the radiating particles by observing rotations of the electric vector position angle ¿. Here we report the discovery of a ¿X rotation in the X-ray band in the blazar Markarian¿421 at an average flux state. Across the 5¿days of Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer observations on 4¿6 and 7¿9 June 2022, ¿X rotated in total by ¿360°. Over the two respective date ranges, we find constant, within uncertainties, rotation rates (80¿±¿9° per day and 91¿±¿8° per day) and polarization degrees (¿X¿=¿10%¿±¿1%). Simulations of a random walk of the polarization vector indicate that it is unlikely that such rotation(s) are produced by a stochastic process. The X-ray-emitting site does not completely overlap the radio, infrared and optical emission sites, as no similar rotation of ¿ was observed in quasi-simultaneous data at longer wavelengths. We propose that the observed rotation was caused by a helical magnetic structure in the jet, illuminated in the X-rays by a localized shock propagating along this helix. The optically emitting region probably lies in a sheath surrounding an inner spine where the X-ray radiation is released. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Nature Limited.The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) is a joint US and Italian mission.

BRAIN & SPINAL CORD DAMAGE & REHABILITATION

Stroke and traumatic injury in brain or spinal cord are often life-threating conditions and major causes of death or permanent disability with high impact in the health care system. There are several stages of intervention to improve the neurological outcome. Acutely, fast interventions aiming to reestablish cerebral blood flow in ischemic stroke, to stop bleeding after brain hemorrhage, and to reduce edema after contusions are amongst mandatory actions. Current studies aim to develop accompanying strategies for brain cell protection based on enhancing endogenous protective mechanism, blocking cell death pathways, or through immunomodulation. After the acute phase, interventions are intended to promote recovery of function using rehabilitation with state-of-the-art technologies enabled by robotics. Other advanced strategies include cell, gene, and immune therapies, and brain function modulation with the aid of smart nanotechnologies. There is great expectation in the fast evolving novel approaches for improvement of neurological deficits in these unpredictable and devastating conditionPeer reviewe

A Variable-Density Absorption Event in NGC 3227 mapped with Suzaku and Swift

The morphology of the circumnuclear gas accreting onto supermassive black holes in Seyfert galaxies remains a topic of much debate. As the innermost regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are spatially unresolved, X-ray spectroscopy, and in particular line-of-sight absorption variability, is a key diagnostic to map out the distribution of gas. Observations of variable X-ray absorption in multiple Seyferts and over a wide range of timescales indicate the presence of clumps/clouds of gas within the circumnuclear material. Eclipse events by clumps transiting the line of sight allow us to explore the properties of the clumps over a wide range of radial distances from the optical/UV Broad Line Region (BLR) to beyond the dust sublimation radius. Time-resolved absorption events have been extremely rare so far, but suggest a range of density profiles across Seyferts. We resolve a weeks-long absorption event in the Seyfert NGC 3227. We examine six Suzaku and twelve Swift observations from a 2008 campaign spanning 5 weeks. We use a model accounting for the complex spectral interplay of three differently-ionized absorbers. We perform time-resolved spectroscopy to discern the absorption variability behavior. We also examine the IR-to-X-ray spectral energy distribution (SED) to test for reddening by dust. The 2008 absorption event is due to moderately-ionized ($\log \xi\sim 1.2-1.4$) gas covering 90% of the line of sight. We resolve the density profile to be highly irregular, in contrast to a previous symmetric and centrally-peaked event mapped with RXTE in the same object. The UV data do not show significant reddening, suggesting that the cloud is dust-free. The 2008 campaign has revealed a transit by a filamentary, moderately-ionized cloud of variable density that is likely located in the BLR, and possibly part of a disk wind.Comment: Accepted for publication by A&

During a recent X-ray/γ-ray outburst, a 287 ks observation (2022 November 27–30) was taken using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), together with contemporaneous multiwavelength observations from the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory and XMM-Newton in soft X-rays (0.3–10 keV), NuSTAR in hard X-rays (3–70 keV), and optical polarization from the Calar Alto and Perkins Telescope observatories. Our contemporaneous X-ray data suggest that the IXPE energy band is at the crossover between the low- and high-frequency blazar emission humps. The source displays significant variability during the observation, and we measure polarization in three separate time bins. Contemporaneous X-ray spectra allow us to determine the relative contribution from each emission hump. We find >99% confidence X-ray polarization {{\rm{\Pi }}}_{2\mbox{--}4\mathrm{keV}}={21.7}_{-7.9}^{+5.6} \% and electric vector polarization angle ψ2–4keV = −28fdg7 ± 8fdg7 in the time bin with highest estimated synchrotron flux contribution. We discuss possible implications of our observations, including previous IXPE BL Lacertae pointings, tentatively concluding that synchrotron self-Compton emission dominates over hadronic emission processes during the observed epochs. © 2023.
