The study of prevalent orbits in galactic subsystems can help us understand galactic structure and clarify its history. The classical analysis of flat orbits and metallicities of old stars led Eggen et al. (1962) to formulate the rapid collapse of the primordial Galaxy. On the other side Yoshii & Saio (1979) studied three-dimensional orbits that separate in spherical coordinates. They found the Galaxy contracted quasi-stationary after the formation of halo objects. Here we shall briefly discuss the results of numerical orbit calculations (with Merson's method) for selected galactic subsystems. The axially symmetrical two-component model of the Galaxy (Kutuzov, Ossipkov 1989) was adopted. One-component models (Barkhatova et al. 1987, Kutuzov 1988) were used also but no significant difference in orbit elements was found (Kutuzov & Ossipkov 1992). Pericenter and apocenter distances, Rp and Ra, and the maximal height of objects over the galactic plane, zm, were used as orbit elements as well as dimensionless quantities e = (Ra — Rp)/(Ra + Rp) (eccentricity) and c = 2zm/(Ra — Rp) (the flatness of box filled by orbit projection on the meridional plane).

The influence of the tangential component of the solar motion (towards l = 90o, b = 0o) corrected for the value of the asymmetric drift, on the galactocentric orbits of selected nearby stars is studied. Different models of the Galaxy potential are used. It is noticed, in general, that the increase of this corrected velocity component is followed by changes of the orbital elements characterising the motion in the galactic plane (the component perpendicular to the galactic plane remains practically unaffected); the orbital eccentricity increases or decreases depending on whether the galactocentric tangential velocity component of a given star exceeds or not the value of the circular velocity involved by the used model.

ABSTRACT The recent data collected by Herschel have confirmed that interstellar structures with a filamentary shape are ubiquitously present in the Milky Way. Filaments are thought to be formed by several physical mechanisms acting from large Galactic scales down to subparsec fractions of molecular clouds, and they might represent a possible link between star formation and the large-scale structure of the Galaxy. In order to study this potential link, a statistically significant sample of filaments spread throughout the Galaxy is required. In this work, we present the first catalogue of 32 059 candidate filaments automatically identified in the Herschel Infrared Galactic plane Survey (Hi-GAL) of the entire Galactic plane. For these objects, we determined morphological (length la and geometrical shape) and physical (average column density $N_{\rm H_{2}}$ and average temperature T) properties. We identified filaments with a wide range of properties: 2 ≤ la ≤ 100 arcmin, $10^{20} \le N_{\rm H_{2}} \le 10^{23}$ cm−2 and 10 ≤ T ≤ 35 K. We discuss their association with the Hi-GAL compact sources, finding that the most tenuous (and stable) structures do not host any major condensation. We also assign a distance to ∼18 400 filaments, for which we determine mass, physical size, stability conditions and Galactic distribution. When compared with the spiral arms structure, we find no significant difference between the physical properties of on-arm and inter-arm filaments. We compare our sample with previous studies, finding that our Hi-GAL filament catalogue represents a significant extension in terms of Galactic coverage and sensitivity. This catalogue represents a unique and important tool for future studies devoted to understanding the filament life-cycle.

Context. Gamma-ray binaries are systems composed of a massive star and a compact object that exhibit emission from radio to very high energy gamma rays. They are ideal laboratories to study particle acceleration and a variety of physical processes that vary as a function of the orbital phase. Aims. We aim to study the radio emission of the gamma-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6–5856 to constrain the emitting region and determine the peculiar motion of the system within the Galaxy to clarify its origin. Methods. We analyzed an observation of 1FGL J1018.6–5856 with the Australian Long Baseline Array (LBA) at 8.4 GHz to obtain an accurate astrometry of the system and study its emission on milliarcsecond scales. We combined these data with the optical Gaia DR2 and UCAC4 catalogs to consolidate the astrometry information therein. Results. The gamma-ray binary 1FGL J1018.6–5856 shows compact radio emission (< 3 mas or ≲20 au at ∼6.4 kpc distance), implying a brightness temperature of ≳5.6 × 106 K, and confirming its nonthermal origin. We report consistent results between the proper motion reported by Gaia DR2 and the positions obtained from the Gaia DR2, UCAC4, and LBA data (spanning 20 yr in total). We also determined the distance to 1FGL J1018.6–5856 to be 6.4−0.7+1.7. Together with the radial velocity of the source we computed its three-dimensional (3D) proper and peculiar motion within the Galaxy. We obtained a peculiar motion of 1FGL J1018.6–5856 on its regional standard of rest (RSR) frame of |u| = 45−9+30, with the system moving away from the Galactic plane. In the simplest scenario of a symmetric stellar core collapse we estimate a mass loss of 4 ≲ ΔM ≲ 9 M⊙ during the creation of the compact object. Conclusions. 1FGL J1018.6–5856 exhibits compact radio emission similar to that detected in other gamma-ray binaries. We provide the first accurate peculiar motion estimations of the system and place it within the Galaxy. The obtained motion and distance excludes the physical relation of the binary source with the supernova remnant (SNR) G284.3−1.8.

The modern astrometric catalogue ACRS invites attempts to re-examine the systematic stellar motions, together with the luni-solar precessional correction and the fictitious equinoctial motion correction to the FK5 system, and gives encouraging results.On the basis of the three-dimensional Ogorodnikov-Milne model for the overall pattern analysis of the proper motions, the systematic stellar velocity field of about 30000 K-M giants chosen from the ACRS is first examined in the heliocentric distance interval 0.5 to 1.0 kpc. We have found in an iterative fashion a solution for the K-M giants that yields neither deformation-nor vorticity-field other than the classical ones (the Oort constants A and B). The important point to note here is that the generally accepted idea such that the K-M giants are a steady-state constituent of the galaxy is compatible with the luni-solar precessional correction proposed by the VLBI and LLR observations. The K-M giants give the rational set of corrections to the FK5 system: the luni-solar precessional correction Δp = −0″.27 ± 0″.03 / cent and the equinoctial motion correction including the planetary precessional correction Δe + Δλ = −0″.12 ± 0″.03 / cent. Thus, the precessional correction previously proposed with the modern techniques has been confirmed by the pattern analysis of the proper motions.Next, applying the corrections obtained above, we have performed the overall pattern analysis of the proper motions of about 3000 O-B5 stars, supergiants, and bright giants, which are chosen again from the ACRS, and considered as an entity of the galactic warp. It is found that the kinematics of these stars is quite different from that of K-M giants. These stars show additional shears and rotations around two mutually orthogonal axes lying in the galactic plane, besides the classical ones. The present finding implies that the young stars are streaming around the galactic center in a tilted sheet (the warp) with the velocity of 225 km/s, and the sheet itself is simultaneously rotating around the nodal line of the warp (galactic center — sun — anticenter line) with the angular velocity of 4 km/s/kpc in increasing sense of the present inclination of the warp.

A review is given of information on the galactic-centre region obtained from recent observations of the 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen, the 18-cm group of OH lines, a hydrogen recombination line at 6 cm wavelength, and the continuum emission from ionized hydrogen.Both inward and outward motions are important in this region, in addition to rotation. Several types of observation indicate the presence of material in features inclined to the galactic plane. The relationship between the H and OH concentrations is not yet clear, but a rough picture of the central region can be proposed.

Aim: The study was aimed to develop mucoadhesive buccal tablets using Aster ericoides leaves mucilage. Background : Mucilages are naturally occurring high-molecular-weight polyuronides, which have been extensively studied for their application in different pharmaceutical dosage forms. Objective: The objective of the present research was to establish the mucilage isolated from the leaves of Aster ericoides as an excipient for the formulation of the mucoadhesive buccal tablet. Method: The mucilage was isolated from the leaves of Aster ericoides by maceration, precipitated with acetone and characterized. Tablets were prepared using wet granulation technique and evaluated for various official tests. Results: The mucilage was found to be non-toxic on A-431 and Vero cell lines. It was insoluble but swellable in cold and hot water. The results indicate that mucilage can form a three-dimensional network. The pH of the mucilage (6.82 ± 0.13) indicated that it might be non-irritant to the buccal cavity. The mucilage was found to be free from microbes. The release of drug was by Fickian diffusion. The in vivo buccal tablet acceptance was 80%. No significant difference between the diastolic blood pressure of standard and Aster tablets treated volunteer group was recorded.

No significant difference between the diastolic blood pressure of standard and Aster tablets treated volunteer group was recorded. Other: However, to prove the potency of the polymer, in vivo bioavailability studies in human volunteers are needed along with chronic toxicity studies in suitable animal models.

Abstract Background This present study is aimed to retrospectively assess the efficacy of three-dimensional (3D) printing assisted osteotomy guide plate in accurate osteotomy of adolescent cubitus varus deformity. Material and methods Twenty-five patients (15 males and 10 females) with the cubitus varus deformity from June 2014 to December 2017 were included in this study and were enrolled into the conventional group (n = 11) and 3D printing group (n = 14) according to the different surgical approaches. The operation time, intraoperative blood loss, osteotomy degrees, osteotomy end union time, and postoperative complications between the two groups were observed and recorded. Results Compared with the conventional group, the 3D printing group has the advantages of shorter operation time, less intraoperative blood loss, higher rate of excellent correction, and higher rate of the parents’ excellent satisfaction with appearance after deformity correction (P < 0.001, P < 0.001, P = 0.019, P = 0.023). Nevertheless, no significant difference was presented in postoperative carrying angle of the deformed side and total complication rate between the two groups (P = 0.626, P = 0.371). Conclusions The operation assisted by 3D printing osteotomy guide plate to correct the adolescent cubitus varus deformity is feasible and effective, which might be an optional approach to promote the accurate osteotomy and optimize the efficacy.

This study evaluated the effects of different matching methods on the accuracy of dentofacial integration in stereophotogrammetry and smartphone face-scanning systems. The integration was done (N = 30) with different matching areas (n = 10), including teeth image only (TO), perioral area without markers (PN) and with markers (PM). The positional accuracy of the integrated models was assessed by measuring the midline linear deviations and incisal line canting between the experimental groups and laser scanner-based reference standards. Kruskal–Wallis and Mann–Whitney U tests were used for statistical analyses (α = 0.05). The PM method exhibited the smallest linear deviations in both systems; while the highest deviations were found in the TO in stereophotogrammetry; and in PN in smartphone. For the incisal line canting; the canting degree was the lowest in the PM method; followed by that in the TO and the PN in both systems. Although stereophotogrammetry generally exhibited higher accuracy than the smartphone; the two systems demonstrated no significant difference when the perioral areas were used for matching. The use of perioral scans with markers enables accurate dentofacial image integration; however; cautions should be given on the accuracy of the perioral image obtained without the use of markers.

AbstractThis paper presents a collection of analytical formulae that can be used in the long-term propagation of the motion of a spacecraft subject to low-thrust acceleration and orbital perturbations. The paper considers accelerations due to: a low-thrust profile following an inverse square law, gravity perturbations due to the central body gravity field and the third-body gravitational perturbation. The analytical formulae are expressed in terms of non-singular equinoctial elements. The formulae for the third-body gravitational perturbation have been obtained starting from equations for the third-body potential already available in the literature. However, the final analytical formulae for the variation of the equinoctial orbital elements are a novel derivation. The results are validated, for different orbital regimes, using high-precision numerical orbit propagators.

In the field of engineered organ and drug development, three-dimensional network-structured tissue has been a long-sought goal. This paper presents a direct hydrogel extrusion process exposed to an ultrasound standing wave that aligns fibroblast cells to form a network structure. The frequency-shifted (2 MHz to 4 MHz) ultrasound actuation of a 400-micrometer square-shaped glass capillary that was continuously perfused by fibroblast cells suspended in sodium alginate generated a hydrogel string, with the fibroblasts aligned in single or quadruple streams. In the transition from the one-cell stream to the four-cell streams, the aligned fibroblast cells were continuously interconnected in the form of a branch and a junction. The ultrasound-exposed fibroblast cells displayed over 95% viability up to day 10 in culture medium without any significant difference from the unexposed fibroblast cells. This acoustofluidic method will be further applied to create a vascularized network by replacing fibroblast cells with human umbilical vein endothelial cells.
