Spatially extended and high-velocity dispersion molecular component in spiral galaxies: single-dish vs. interferometric observations

Recent studies of the molecular medium in nearby galaxies have provided mounting evidence that the molecular gas can exist in two phases: one that is clumpy and organized as molecular clouds and another one that is more diffuse. This last component has a higher velocity dispersion than the clumpy one. In order to investigate these two molecular components further, we compare the fluxes and line widths of CO in NGC 4736 and NGC 5055, two nearby spiral galaxies for which high-quality interferometric as well as single-dish data sets are available. Our analysis leads to two main results: 1) Employing three different methods, we determine the flux recovery of the interferometer as compared to the single-dish to be within a range of 35-74% for NGC4736 and 81-92% for NGC5055, and 2) when focusing on high (SNR>5) lines of sight, the single-dish line widths are larger by ~(40+-20)% than the ones derived from interferometric data; which is in agreement with stacking all lines of sight. These results point to a molecular gas component that is distributed over spatial scales larger than 30"(~1kpc), and is therefore filtered out by the interferometer. The available observations do not allow us to distinguish between a truly diffuse gas morphology and a uniform distribution of small clouds that are separated by less than the synthesized beam size (~3" or ~100pc), as they would both be invisible for the interferometer. This high velocity dispersion component has a dispersion similar to what is found in the atomic medium, as traced through observations of the HI line.Comment: 12 pages, 5 figures, Accepted to A

A regional atmosphere-ocean climate system model (CCLMv5.0clm7-NEMOv3.3-NEMOv3.6) over Europe including three marginal seas: On its stability and performance

The frequency of extreme events has changed, having a direct impact on human lives. Regional climate models help us to predict these regional climate changes. This work presents an atmosphere–ocean coupled regional climate system model (RCSM; with the atmospheric component COSMO-CLM and the ocean component NEMO) over the European domain, including three marginal seas: the Mediterranean, North, and Baltic Sea. To test the model, we evaluate a simulation of more than 100 years (1900–2009) with a spatial grid resolution of about 25 km. The simulation was nested into a coupled global simulation with the model MPI-ESM in a low-resolution configuration, whose ocean temperature and salinity were nudged to the ocean–ice component of the MPI-ESM forced with the NOAA 20th Century Reanalysis (20CR). The evaluation shows the robustness of the RCSM and discusses the added value by the coupled marginal seas over an atmosphere-only simulation. The coupled system is stable for the complete 20th century and provides a better representation of extreme temperatures compared to the atmosphere-only model. The produced long-term dataset will help us to better understand the processes leading to meteorological and climate extremes

Frying edible vegetable oil quality from street-food vendors in a Metropolitan area in the Central Highlands of Mexico

Vegetable oil deterioration during frying is a health problem because of oil degradation compounds and recycled oil practices are related to disturb oil quality. Frying food street-vendors are an important part of endemic market type Tianguis at the Metropolitan areas in the Central Highlands of Mexico. The main objective of this research was to evaluate frying edible vegetable oil quality from frying by street-food vendors in a Metropolitan area in the Central Highlands of Mexico. A behaviour questionary registered fresh and recycling oil addition, frying temperature and method in real operation conditions for three working days. Free fatty acid, colour, p-Anisidine, peroxide, and TOTOX indexes were observed in the vendors by triplicate. Free fatty acids and peroxide values in two vendors exceeded the NMX-F-223-SCFI-2011 values. Physicochemical variables revealed oil oxidation deterioration. Not so high temperatures were registered, and continually fresh oil addition was suggested as mitigating or masking edible oil of thermal oxidation and its degradation agents during the observed time. Thermal oxidation could be lower than in controlled conditions as in many reports due to vendor operations studied as a real approximation that suggested less oil degradation. Present results could be evidence for government intervention in the regulation needsCONACY

Ethylene Forming Activity from ACC in Citrus Leaf Discs: Influence of Light and Darkness

The influence of light and darkness incubation on ethylene forming activity from 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) in citrus (Citrus sinensis L. Osbeck cv. 'Salustiana) mature leaf discs was studied. Leaf discs incubated 48 hours inlight produced 20 times greater ethylene than in darkness. Twenty-four hours light and darkness alternative incubations were carried out. In any case, transference of discs from the light to the dark resulted in inhibition of ethylene forming activity. Effects of DCMU (3-(3,4- dichlorophenyl)-1,1-dimethylurea, inhibitor of photosynthetic electron flow) and KCN (inhibitor of cytochrome oxidase) were studied,, DCMU at 0.1 mM concentration inhibited ethylene forming activity after 48 h incubation in light at 95%.However, ethylene forming activity was not affected by DCMU in the dark. On the other hand, 1mMKCN stimulated considerably ethylene forming activity both in the light and dark. Incubation in a CO, enriched atmosphere did not affect ethylene forming activity in light. Therefore, respiratory CO, release could not be the responsible of ethylene forming activity inhibition in the dark. Increase on ethylene production in light from ACC in mature leaf discs is related with the ethylene forming enzyme (EFE) because of CO, + ion (inhibitor of EFE activity) reduced highly ethylene production from ACC both in the light and dark. Likewise mannitol (stimulator of EFE activity and ACC synthesis) enhanced ethylene production from ACC both in the light and in the dark. Cycloheximide (inhibitor of protein synthesis) also inhibited ethylene production from ACC. Therefore, enzyme synthesis could be required for the ethylene forming activity from ACC

O delineamento foi em blocos ao acaso, com três repetições. A semeadura foi realizada manualmente, e quando as plantas atingiram estágio de maturidade fisiológica foram avaliadas as variáveis altura, diâmetro do colmo, produção de grãos, número de grãos por espiga e número de fileiras de grãos por espiga. Os dados foram analisados utilizando-se o teste F e, quando significativos foi realizado teste de comparação de médias. Há diferença entre os híbridos de milho em função das doses de nitrogênio aplicadas em cobertura para produção de grãos e eficiência agronômica. O material AS1596 apresentou superioridade na produção de grãos e eficiência agronômica em relação ao genótipo AS1522. [Effect of nitrogen topdressing levels on biometric variables and on production of corn hybrids]. Abstract: Aiming to evaluate the nitrogen topdressing on biometric variables and production of different corn hybrids, an experiment was conducted under field conditions in Jaboticabal, SP. Before carrying out the experiment, soil sampling in the layer 0-20 cm was performed for soil fertility verification, also it was performed the sowing fertilization, which consisted of the 300 kg ha-1 formulated 4-20-20. The treatments consisted of two simple hybrid genotypes, AS1522 and AS1596, subjected to four nitrogen level: zero, half the standard, standard and twice the standard. The experimental was a randomized complete block design with three replications. The sowing was done manually, and when the plants reached stage of physiological maturity, parameters such as height, stem geometry, grain yield, number of grains per spike and number of grain rows per ear were evaluated. The data were analyzed through the F test, and when significant, it was carried out an average comparison. There is difference between the hybrids on the basis of nitrogen topdressing for grain yield and agronomic efficiency. The material AS1596 showed superiority in grain yield and agronomic efficiency in relation to genotype AS1522
