▪ Abstract High-velocity clouds (HVCs) consist of neutral hydrogen (HI) at velocities incompatible with a simple model differential galactic rotation; in practice one uses [Formula: see text] v LSR text]90 km/s to define HVCs. This review describes the main features sky and velocity distributions, as well available information on cloud properties, small-scale structure, observations other than 21-cm emission. We show that HVCs contain heavy elements more prominent ones are 2 kpc from...
The focus of this perspective is on lockdown loneliness, which we define as loneliness resulting from social disconnection a result enforced distancing and lockdowns during the COVID-19 pandemic. We also explore role digital technology in tackling amid In regard, highlight discuss number key relevant issues: description burden pandemic, characteristics people who are more likely to be affected by factors that could increase risk an important public health issue, tools for connection...
There is emerging evidence for the presence of an extensive microbiota in human lungs. It not known whether variations prevalence species lungs may have aetiological significance respiratory conditions such as asthma. The aim study was to undertake semi-quantitative analysis differences fungal pooled sputum samples from asthma patients and controls. Induced were collected a case control subjects drawn community Wandsworth, London. Samples both groups then tested eukaryotes. DNA amplified...
We report the first determination of a distance bracket for high-velocity cloud (HVC) complex C. Combined with previous measurements showing that this has metallicity 0.15 times solar, these results provide ample evidence C traces continuing accretion intergalactic gas falling onto Milky Way. Accounting both neutral and ionized hydrogen as well He, implies mass (3-14) × 106 M☉, represents inflow 0.1-0.25 M☉ yr-1. base our on detection Ca II absorption in spectrum blue horizontal branch (BHB)...
Smartphones are ideal for promoting physical activity in those with little intrinsic motivation exercise. This study tested three hypotheses: H1 - receipt of social feedback generates higher step-counts than no feedback; H2 only receiving on one's own walking; H3 walking (H3).A parallel group randomised controlled trial measured the impact steps-counts. Healthy male participants (n = 165) aged 18-40 were given phones pre-installed an app that recorded steps continuously, without need user...
Farmers and those involved in the wider agricultural industry have a high suicide rate. They are also 'hard to reach' group who make less than average use of mental health services. There is therefore need understand how best develop interventions that meet their needs. The aims this study were deeper understanding farming context target population engage farmers shaping two potential could be incorporated pilot RCT.The was informed throughout by reference group, assisted co-production...
We present interferometric H I 21 cm line observations of the extended gas around irregular galaxy NGC 4449 covering 67' on sky at a resolution ~1'. The main star-forming body is relatively normal for Magellanic galaxy, but unusual in that it has two counterrotating systems and extends to 6 times Holmberg radius. Our new, detailed maps this show most located large, highly structured, clouds very long streamers. compare with other context possible models origin these structures, likely which...
We present photometric and spectroscopic data of the Type II-P supernova (SN II-P) 2003gd, which was discovered in M74 close to end its plateau phase. SN 2003gd is first II (SN) have a directly confirmed red supergiant (RSG) progenitor. compare 1999em, similar II-P, estimate an explosion date 2003 March 18. determine reddening towards E(B−V) = 0.14 ± 0.06, using three different methods. also calculate new distances 9.6 2.8, 7.7 1.7 2.2 Mpc. The former estimated standard candle method (SCM),...

We have measured the amount of kinematic substructure in Galactic halo using final data set from Spaghetti project, a pencil-beam high latitude sky survey. Our sample contains 101 photometrically selected and spectroscopically confirmed giants with accurate distance, radial velocity metallicity information. developed new clustering estimator: "4distance" measure, which when applied to our leads identification 1 group 7 pairs clumped stars. The group, 6 members, can confidently be matched...
We investigated the association between a wide range of comorbidities and COVID-19 in-hospital mortality assessed influence multi morbidity on risk COVID-19-related death using large, regional cohort 6036 hospitalized patients. This retrospective study was conducted Patient Administration System Admissions Discharges data. The International Classification Diseases 10th edition (ICD-10) diagnosis codes were used to identify common outcome measure. Individuals with lymphoma (odds ratio [OR],...
Background. Acute and chronic Q fever/Coxiella burnetii infection is diagnosed principally by serology. The management of patients who have serological evidence fever but no other manifestation challenging.
