Submillimeter, millimeter, and microwave spectral line catalogue
This report describes a computer accessible catalogue of submillimeter, millimeter, and microwave spectral lines in the frequency range between 0 and 10000 GHz (i.e., wavelengths longer than 30 micrometers). The catalogue can be used as a planning guide or as an aid in the identification and analysis of observed spectral lines. The information listed for each spectral line includes the frequency and its estimated error, the intensity, lower state energy, and quantum number assignment. The catalogue has been constructed using theoretical least squares fits of published spectral lines to accepted molecular models. The associated predictions and their estimated errors are based upon the resultant fitted parameters and their covariances. Future versions of this catalogue will add more atoms and molecules and update the present listings (151 species) as new data appear. The catalogue is available from the authors as a magnetic tape recorded in card images and as a set of microfiche records

Submillimeter, millimeter, and microwave spectral line catalogue, revision 3
A computer-accessible catalog of submillimeter, millimeter, and microwave spectral lines in the frequency range between 0 and 10,000 GHz (i.e., wavelengths longer than 30 micrometers) is described. The catalog can be used as a planning or as an aid in the identification and analysis of observed spectral lines. The information listed for each spectral line includes the frequency and its estimated error, the intensity, the lower state energy, and the quantum number assignment. This edition of the catalog has information on 206 atomic and molecular species and includes a total of 630,924 lines. The catalog was constructed by using theoretical least square fits of published spectral lines to accepted molecular models. The associated predictions and their estimated errors are based upon the resultant fitted parameters and their covariances. Future versions of this catalog will add more atoms and molecules and update the present listings as new data appear. The catalog is available as a magnetic data tape recorded in card images, with one card image per spectral line, from the National Space Science Data Center, located at Goddard Space Flight Center
Rectal cancer management during the COVID-19 pandemic (ReCaP): multicentre prospective observational study
A facility for high resolution spectroscopy: Laboratory and ground based observations in support of upper atmospheric research
This research task consists of operating a facility for making spectroscopic observations in support of upper atmospheric research. The facility responds to the needs and interests of the visiting investigators. Therefore, the research objectives are not predetermined except in broad outline. The emphasis is on studies that take advantage of the particular strengths of the Fourier Transform Spectrometer on Kitt Peak: high spectral resolution combined with wide spectral range and low noise
Inhalation exposure of animals.
Relative advantages and disadvantages and important design criteria for various exposure methods are presented. Five types of exposures are discussed: whole-body chambers, head-only exposures, nose or mouth-only methods, lung-only exposures, and partial-lung exposures. Design considerations covered include: air cleaning and conditioning; construction materials; losses of exposure materials; evenness of exposure; sampling biases; animal observation and care; noise and vibration control, safe exhausts, chamber loading, reliability, pressure fluctuations; neck seals, masks, animal restraint methods; and animal comfort. Ethical considerations in use of animals in inhalation experiments are also discussed
Outflow and dense gas emission from massive Infrared Dark Clouds
Infrared Dark Clouds are expected to harbor sources in different, very young
evolutionary stages. To better characterize these differences, we observed a
sample of 43 massive Infrared Dark Clouds, originally selected as candidate
high-mass starless cores, with the IRAM 30m telescope covering spectral line
tracers of low-density gas, high-density gas, molecular outflows/jets and
temperature effects. The SiO(2-1) observations reveal detections toward 18
sources. Assuming that SiO is exclusively produced by sputtering from dust
grains, this implies that at least in 40% of this sample star formation is
on-going. A broad range of SiO line-widths is observed (between 2.2 and
65km/s), and we discuss potential origins for this velocity spread. While the
low-density tracers 12CO(2-1) and 13CO(1-0) are detected in several velocity
components, the high-density tracer H13CO+(1--0) generally shows only a single
velocity component and is hence well suited for kinematic distance estimates of
IRDCs. Furthermore, the H13CO+ line-width is on average 1.5 times larger than
that of previously observed NH3(1,1). This is indicative of more motion at the
denser core centers, either due to turbulence or beginning star formation
activity. In addition, we detect CH3CN toward only six sources whereas CH3OH is
observed toward approximately 40% of the sample. Estimates of the CH3CN and
CH3OH abundances are low with average values of 1.2x10^{-10} and 4.3x10^{-10},
respectively. These results are consistent with chemical models at the earliest
evolutionary stages of high-mass star formation. Furthermore, the CH3OH
abundances compare well to recently reported values for low-mass starless
cores.Comment: 22 pages (ApJ referee style), 7 figures, accepted for Ap
The Regeneration Games: Commodities, Gifts and the Economics of London 2012
This paper considers contradictions between two concurrent and tacit conceptions of the Olympic ‘legacy’, setting out one conception that understands the games and their legacies as gifts alongside and as counterpoint to the prevailing discourse, which conceives Olympic assets as commodities. The paper critically examines press and governmental discussion of legacy, in order to locate these in the context of a wider perspective contrasting ‘gift’ and ‘commodity’ Olympics – setting anthropological conceptions of gift-based sociality as a necessary supplement to contractual and dis-embedded socioeconomic organizational assumptions underpinning the commodity Olympics. Costbenefit planning is central to modern city building and mega-event delivery. The paper considers the insufficiency of this approach as the exclusive paradigm within which to frame and manage a dynamic socio-economic and cultural legacy arising from the 2012 games
Rectal cancer management during the COVID-19 pandemic (ReCaP): multicentre prospective observational study.
Concerns over unacceptable high mortality in patients with rectal cancer undergoing surgery or systemic therapy who contract COVID-19 have led to widespread adoption of alternative treatment strategies.The ReCaP study aimed to study these variations and associated outcomes
