Gaia-ESO Survey: Cha I members

2017

Investigating the physical mechanisms driving the dynamical evolution of young star clusters is fundamental to our understanding of the star formation process and the properties of the Galactic field stars. The young (~2Myr) and partially embedded cluster Chamaeleon I is one of the closest laboratories to study the early stages of star cluster dynamics in a low-density environment. The aim of this work is to study the structural and kinematical properties of this cluster combining parameters from the high-resolution spectroscopic observations of the Gaia-ESO Survey with data from the literature. Our main result is the evidence of a large discrepancy between the velocity dispersion ({sigma}_…

Gaia-ESO Survey. Trumpler 23

2017

Trumpler 23 is a moderately populated, intermediate-age open cluster within the solar circle at a R_GC_~6kpc. It is in a crowded field very close to the Galactic plane and the color-magnitude diagram shows significant field contamination and possible differential reddening; it is a relatively understudied cluster for these reasons, but its location makes it a key object for determining Galactic abundance distributions. New data from the Gaia-ESO Survey enable the first ever radial velocity and spectroscopic metallicity measurements for this cluster. We aim to use velocities to isolate cluster members, providing more leverage for determining cluster parameters. Gaia-ESO Survey data for 167 p…

KELT-9b radial velocity curve

2019

In the framework of the GAPS project, we observed the planet-hosting star KELT-9 (A-type star, vsini~110km/s) with the HARPS-N spectrograph at the Telescopio Nazionale Galileo. In this work we analyse the spectra and the extracted radial velocities, to constrain the physical parameters of the system and to detect the planetary atmosphere of KELT-9b. We extracted from the high-resolution optical spectra the mean stellar line profiles with an analysis based on the Least Square Deconvolution technique. Then, we computed the stellar radial velocities with a method optimized for fast rotators, by fitting the mean stellar line profile with a purely rotational profile instead of using a Gaussian f…

ESPRESSO radial velocities of HE0107-5240

2020

The vast majority of the known stars of ultra low metallicity ([Fe/H]<-4.5) are known to be enhanced in carbon, and belong to the 'low-carbon band' (A(C)=log(C/H)+12~7.6). It is generally, although not universally, accepted that this peculiar chemical composition reflects the chemical composition of the gas cloud out of which these stars were formed. The first ultra-metal-poor star discovered, HE 0107-5240, is also enhanced in carbon and belongs to the 'low-carbon band'. It has recently been claimed to be a long-period binary, based on radial velocity measurements. It has also been claimed that this binarity may explain its peculiar composition as being due to mass transfer to a former AGB …

Exploring Obutyamye as Material Citizenship in Busoga Subregion, Uganda

2022

This article explores how being a citizen is inexorably bound up with the resources individuals own and deploy to support livelihoods in the rural locations of postcolonial states. Drawing on the works of Kabeer (2006) and Baglioni (2016), the article zooms in on how citizenship is manifestly and inescapably material in the Busoga subregion of eastern Uganda. Data for the article were collected using qualitative methods among beneficiaries of antipoverty programmes implemented by Action for Development (ACFODE), a national non-governmental organization (NGO). Findings show that, locally, citizenship is understood as obutyamye, connoting an (un)equal experience of being in, for and with the …

Relationships between stomatognathic and oculomotor systems in the postural determinism

2009

Objectives To establish if oculomotor apparatus, stomatognathic apparatus and postural system are someway related. Materials and methods Ocular deficit, postural stabilization, head inclination and rotation, shoulder position and dental class were assessed by convergence test, cover test, postural and stomatognathic examination in a sample of 22 patients with ocular disease (convergence deficit, strabismus and heterophoria) aged from 10 to 18 years. Results In patients with convergence's deficit, body axis deviated to left (65%) and head inclination to right (65%), right shoulder was higher (68%) and I dental class was observed (49%); in patients with strabismus, body axis deviated to left …

Análisis de un programa hospitalario de cirugía ambulatoria odontológica para pacientes discapacitados

2017

Introducción: El desarrollo de las unidades de cirugía sin ingreso ha supuesto una gran evolución en la asistencia hospitalaria para el adecuado tratamiento odontológico de los pacientes discapacitados.Objetivo: describir a través de una serie de variables dos grupos de pacientes (con y sin discapacidad) intervenidos de cirugía odontológica sin ingreso y evaluar su respuesta postoperatoria a través de un indicador de bienestar postquirúrgico (IP). Se trata de determinar la influencia de las variables estudiadas en ambos grupos. Material y métodos: se seleccionó un grupo de pacientes discapacitados (n=263) y otro grupo sin discapacidad (n´=311) intervenidos de cirugía odontológica ambulatori…

Acute toxicity of experimental fertilizers made of blood meal, spent coffee ground and biomass ash

Przepisy prawa wymuszają stopniowe ograniczanie deponowania odpadów ulegających biodegradacji na składowiskach. Po wydzieleniu frakcji biodegradowalnej ze zmieszanych odpadów komunalnych lub dzięki selektywnej zbiórce tej frakcji można ją zastosować w nawożeniu organicznym. W szczególności materia organiczna zawarta w odpadach przemysłu spożywczego lub powstająca w gospodarstwach domowych, pod warunkiem braku zanieczyszczeń innymi rodzajami odpadów może być wykorzystywana jako nawóz organiczny. W pracy przedstawiono wyniki badań nad toksycznością ostrą mieszaniny wykonanej z odpadów poekstrakcyjnych kawy (SCG) modyfikowanych popiołem powstającym z niskotemperaturowego spalania biomasy lub p…
