Bizarre Hard X-Ray Outbursts Of Cygnus X-1

A very high activity of Cygnus X-1 on 1999 April 19-21 was recorded by BATSE Large Area Detectors onboard the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO). The peak luminosity was one order of magnitude higher than the normal luminosity of Cyg X-1. This fact can be critical for models of the hard state of Cyg X-1. The longest outburst lasted 1000 s and demonstrated very unusual temporal and spectral behavior which indicates the presence of two emission components. One component is relatively soft (with a cutoff below 100 keV) and highly variable, and t...

. Cir X-1 is one of the most puzzling X-ray binaries known. Like the peculiar systems SS 433 and Cyg X-3, it cannot easily be classified into any of the major categories of X-ray binaries. We present new optical and infrared observations of Cir X-1 taken near periastron. Both sets of spectra show asymmetric emission lines. Archival optical observations show that an asymmetric Hff emission line has been in evidence for the past twenty years, although the shape of the line has changed significantly. We present an eccentric (e 0:7--0.9) low mass b...

Comment in: Am J Psychiatry. 1993 Jun;150(6):994-5. Bizarre delusions and DSM-III-R schizophrenia. Goldman D, Hien DA, Haas GL, Sweeney JA, Frances AJ. Department of Psychiatry, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic, Pittsburgh, PA 15213. OBJECTIVE: Bizarre delusions are assigned greater weight relative to other delusions in the DSM-III-R diagnosis of schizophrenia. The decision to emphasize bizarre delusions was based largely on historical tradition rather than empirical evidence. This study examined 1) the extent to which a history ...

Abstract Examines the shortcomings of conventional analysis when applied to complex processes, and considers the consequences of ignoring process behaviors simply because they do not conveniently project on to lists of numbers. Complex behavior is bizarre, but not absurd. Bizarre systems are counter-intuitive, and yet bizarre behavior is logically tractable. The inferential linkages within a bizarre system's epistemological model are congruent with the causal linkages that govern its ontological behavior. From the perspective of neurophysiolog...

Bizarre epithelioid lipoleiomyoma of the uterus. Brooks JJ, Wells GB, Yeh IT, LiVolsi VA. Department of Pathology, University of Pennsylvania Medical School, Philadelphia. Lipoleiomyomas of the uterus are extremely rate. All previous examples have been composed of two mature elements: bland spindled smooth muscle cells and bland adipose tissue. We report a unique case of a uterine tumor containing four morphologic cell types: mature spindled smooth muscle cells with and without nuclear atypia, epithelioid smooth muscle cells with and without...

Abstract Although open-source software development has virtues, there is reason to believe that the approach would not have a significant effect on the security of today's systems. The lion's share of vulnerabilities caused by software bugs is easily dealt with by means other than source code inspections. The tenets of open-source development are inhospitable to business models whose success depends on promoting secure systems

A historical perspective on RNA editing: how the peculiar and bizarre became mainstream. Koslowsky DJ. Department of Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Michigan State University, East Lansing, MI, USA. The known examples of RNA editing now encompass a variety of alterations of RNA primary sequence that arise from base modifications, nucleotide insertions or deletions, and nucleotide replacements. Hence, the definition of RNA editing has evolved as new systems have been described. This chapter presents a historical perspective on some of th...

Abstract For many readers, handling a physical book is an enjoyably exquisite part of the information seeking process. Many physical characteristics of a book ts size, heft, the patina of use on its pages and so on - communicate ambient qualities of the document it represents. In contrast, the experience of accessing and exploring digital library documents is often dull. The emphasis is utilitarian; technophile rather than bibliophile. We have extended the page-turning algorithm we reported at last year's JCDL into a scaleable, systematic appr...

Bizarre parosteal osteochondroma in the foot (a case report). Hemmadi SS, Patel BR. Department of Orthopedics, Seth G.S. Medical College, Parel, Bombay. A rare case of a bizarre parosteal osteochondroma in the foot is presented. The tumour first described in 1983 by Nore et al is rare in any location and has to be differentiated from a juxta-cortical osteosarcoma and a benign osteosarcoma. Its differentiating characteristics are discussed. PMID: 1512728 [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE]

In this paper, I present a unified treatment of the three different types of Japanese causatives, the-ni causative, the-o causative and the lexical causative, which relies on a notion of ?Late Insertion ? of lexical items, as proposed in Halle and Marantz (1993). Crucially, all three are claimed to contain a ?CAUSE? morpheme which is spelled out as sase- at PF. This morpheme is the reflex of a light verbal head which delimits the eventiveness of a verb, and is hence termed ?EventP?. Causers, as initiators of events, are base-generated in Spec-E...

Linking descriptive and experimental analyses in the treatment of bizarre speech. Mace FC, Lalli JS. University of Pennsylvania. Descriptive and experimental methods were used to analyze the environmental determinants of an adult's bizarre speech. A descriptive analysis of behavior under natural conditions indicated that bizarre vocalizations occurred most often in the presence of task-related demands and in the absence of adult attention. Further, bizarre speech occurring during tasks was followed frequently by the cessation of task demands...
