Is the Universe a white-hole?

Pathria (1972) has shown, for a pressureless closed Universe, that it is inside a black (or white) hole. We show now, that the Universe with a cosmic pressure obeying Einstein’s field equations, can be inside a white-hole. In the closed case, a positive cosmological constant does the job; for the flat and open cases, the condition we find is not verified for the very early Universe, but with the growth of the scale-factor, the condition will be certainly fulfilled for a positive cosmological constant, after some time. We associate the absolute temperature of the Universe, with the temperature of the corresponding white-hole.

The mineralogy of the Gosse pile ultramafic intrusion,central Australia. II. Pyroxenes

The orthopyroxenes of Gosse Pile, a layered ultramafic sequence within the Giles Complex of central Australia, show unusual exsolution features such as the development of ‘hour‐glass’ shapes by clinopyroxene lamellae, and also the exsolution of spinel and rutile. Both orthopyroxene and clinopyroxene have high R2O3 contents and their distribution coefficients for Mg and Fe are high (average KD = 0.88). Some, if not all, of these features are considered to indicate that the Gosse Pile rocks crystallized under high pressure. This interpretation also explains the predominance of orthopyroxene over olivine as an early cumulus phase. Estimated conditions during crystallization are 10–14 kilobars and between 1,200‐l,400°C.     

Disparities in accessibility of public high schools,in metropolitan Baton Rouge,Louisiana 1990–2010

In this study, we use a Geographic Information System-based index to measure spatial accessibility of public high schools. The index is applied to the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Statistical Area in 1990, 2000, and 2010. Overall, urban areas had consistently worse accessibility scores compared with suburban and rural areas. High schools with more African American students tended to have poorer accessibility levels. Schools with lower accessibility tended to be associated with poorer average student performance, and the effect strengthened between 2000 and 2010. In developing a better understanding of the accessibility of public high schools, this paper reaffirms the significance of space, place, and race, and challenges the notion of declining relevance of accessibility in Louisiana public education policymaking.     

Changes in the dynamics/energetics of surface and internal tides in the White Sea on the coexistence of shore-fast and drifting ice covers

The results of modeling for _M2${\mathrm{M}}_2$ surface and internal tides in the White Sea are discussed. These results are obtained for the case when shore-fast and drifting ice covers are present concurrently. It is assumed that the interface between ice covers is of non-tidal origin (i.e., it is pre-assigned) and that ice rheology is viscous-elastic, representative of the low temperatures typical of winter conditions. Emphasis is placed on tidal energetics and, in particular, on the averaged (over a tidal cycle) values of the density and the dissipation rate of barotropic/baroclinic tidal energy. It is shown that in the White Sea, unlike in other marginal seas, the averaged (over a tidal cycle) and depth-integrated density of baroclinic tidal energy for the combined ice cover is much less than the same defined density of barotropic tidal energy. Similarly, the averaged and integrated (over the volume of the White Sea) rate of baroclinic tidal energy dissipation is much less than the same defined rate of barotropic tidal energy dissipation. The latter, in turn, is greater than for the shore-fast ice cover, but is smaller than for the drifting ice cover.     

微拟球藻原生质体制备与再生

综合考虑酶混合液处理时间和初始细胞密度两个因素,选取终浓度为4%半纤维素酶和2%崩溃酶的酶混合液对一株海洋经济微藻——微拟球藻(Nannochloropsis oculata)进行原生质体的制备与再生,Calcofluor White染料染色可在荧光显微镜下观察到完整的原生质体细胞。实验结果表明:同一初始密度藻细胞酶处理1～3 h制备率较高;酶处理相同时间较高初始密度(2×107～3×107cells/mL)的藻细胞制备率较高,并且原生质体在再生培养基上可再生,生长趋势与野生型细胞一致。考虑到酶处理时间过长或者密度过大会对原生质体的再生产生影响,本实验选择最适酶处理时间为1h,初始细胞密度为2×107cells/mL。     

Bioreduction of Hexavalent Chromium by Live and Active Phanerochaete chrysosporium: Kinetics and Modeling

In this work the potential of live and active Phanerochaete chryosporium, a white rot fungi, to remove lower Cr(VI) concentration from aqueous solutions was reported for the first time. A medium pH had significant effect on the growth of the fungus and bioremoval of Cr(VI). Substrate inhibition on the growth of Phanerochaete chrysosporium was evident beyond 20 g L^?1 of dextrose concentration. A maximum biomass concentration of 15.64 g L^?1 was obtained for an initial dextrose concentration of 20 g L^?1 in metal free medium at pH 6.0. An increase in Cr(VI) concentration beyond 10 mg L^?1 inhibited the growth of the fungi, thereby, reducing the chromium bioremoval efficiency. A maximum reduction efficiency of 98.92% was reported for an initial metal concentration of 10 mg L^?1. A mathematical expression for the bioreduction of Cr(VI) considering the organic compounds in the cells was proposed.
