Spitzer IRS low-resolution spectra for four candidate Seyfert 1-like objects from ULIRGs in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey, 2dF Galaxy Redshift Survey and 6dF Galaxy Survey

In this paper we present the Spitzer IRS low-resolution observation for four candidates of Seyfert 1-like objects of ULIRGs from the SDSS-2dF-6dF sample. It is found that they are all real Seyfert 1-like objects because their infrared spectra are similar to that for Seyfert 1 source indicative of AGN nature, i.e. their spectra all show high-ionization lines of [NeV] at 14.32 μm and/or [SIV] at 10.51 μm in the mid-infrared. On the other hand, it is found that they also show PAH features at 6.2, 7.7, 8.6 and 11.25 μm indicative of star formation activity. In addition, it is found that they all show the silicate feature in absorption around 10 μm indicative of heavily material obscured these sources. Furthermore, some correlations among the far infrared colors, the line ratios, the equivalent widths (EWs) of PAH feature and the Silicate strengths are also discussed for these sources.     

Nonplanar solitons in a warm electronegative plasma with electron nonextensivity effects

The nonlinear propagation of ion-acoustic waves is studied in an unmagnetized collissionless electronegative plasma, whose constituents are the inertial warm positive/negative ions and q-distributed nonextensive electrons. The latter have strong impact on the linear dispersion relation. However, for nonlinear analysis, a reductive perturbation technique is employed to derive a Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation accounting for nonthermal electrons in nonplanar geometries. Numerically, the effects of various plasma parameters, such as, the nonextensive parameter (q), the negative-to-positive ion mass ratio (α), the electron-to-positive ion number density ratio (μ), the positive ion-to-electron temperature ratio (θ _i ) and negative ion-to-electron temperature ratio (θ _n ), have been examined on the nonplanar compressive/rarefactive fast ion-acoustic solitons (where the wave phase speed is taken as λ>1). The relevance of our findings involving plasma wave excitations should be useful both for space and laboratory plasmas, where two distinct groups of ions besides the electrons, are present.     

GROWTH PROMOTION OF RED SEA BREAM, PAGROSOMUS MAJOR, BY ORAL ADMINISTRATION OF RECOMBINANT EEL AND SALMON GROWTH HORMONE

Recombinant eel GH and yeast containing chinook salmon growth hormone (reGHand rcsGH) were incorporated into gelatin and sodium alginate (reGH-GS and rcsGH-GS) or polymer ma-trix (reGH-HP55) to protect the hormone from proteolytic cleavage in the stomach. The diets containin greGH-GS, rcsGH-GS, reGH-HP55 and free-reGH or uncoated-rcsGH were administered to red sea bream. Feeding of reGH-GS, reGH-HP55 and rcsGH-GS diets resulted in significant increases in body weight and fork length over those of controls. These results strongly suggest that gelatin and sodium algi-nate as well as polymer matrix protected the hormone from proteolytic enzymes in the gastrointestinal tract to allow the bioactive hormone to enter the circulation and eventually stimulato fish growth.

Improvement of the one-dimensional Vertical Advection-diffusion Model in Seawater

The classical 1-D vertical advection-diffusion model was improved in this work.The main advantages of the improved model over the previous one are:1) The applicable condition of the 1-D model is made clear in the improved model,in that it is substantively applicable only to a vertical domain on which two end-member water masses are mixing.2) The substitution of parameter f(z) in the equation of the classical 1-D model with end-member fraction f1^z makes the model more precisely and easily solved.3) All the terms in the improved model equation have specific physical meanings,which makes the model easily understood.Practical application of the improved model to predict the vertical profiles of dissovled oxygen and micronutrients in abyssal ocean water of the North Pacific proved that the improvement of the 1-D advection-diffusion model is successful and practicable.

2Mass Observation Of Infrared Quasars

The 2MASS observation of the infrared quasars (IR QSOs) known so far is presented in this paper. Compared with the optical selected quasars, infrared quasars are more dust-enshrouded and have redder colors and steeper spectral indices in the near infrared. In consequence, they are much younger than the optical selected quasars. The result may be helpful to the suggestion that the evolution links could be the ULIRGs - > the IR QSOs - > the optical selected quasars. This publication makes use of data products from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS), which is a joint project of the University of Massachusetts and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center, funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and the National Science Foundation of the United States.     

Comparative modelling of two catchments in Taiwan and England

A comparative modelling of two catchments of similar sizes in Taiwan and England is described. In the study, despite its success in many Taiwanese catchments, including the Yan‐Shui Creek catchment in this study, the distributed model GBDM was initially found unsuitable when applied to the Brue catchment in South West England. However, the simulations are much better after revising the infiltration capacity. Further exploration reveals several interesting findings. (1) The infiltration computation based on soil characteristics and classifications is unreliable in the model. Other factors, such as climate, farming practice and vegetation cover, could have a much more significant impact. (2) The application of the GBDM far away from its ‘home country’ unveils a possible weakness of such a model for being ‘underfitting’. The fact that an ‘adjustment factor’ added in the model could improve both its calibration and validation may indicate that there is a room to improve the GBDM structure for catchments outside Taiwan. (3) The study illustrates the difficulty in creating a universal distributed model that could suit all possible hydrological environments, under the constraint of model parameter parsimony to minimize the ‘equifinality’ problem.
