Massive star-formation toward G28.87+0.07 [PDF]
AbstractWe investigated the high-mass star-forming region G28.87+0.07 by means of maser kinematics, including H2O, CH3OH, and OH, and radio to infrared, continuum observations. All observational evidence suggests that these masers are associated with the same young star of 20-30 M⊙, still in the main accretion phase and surrounded by a rich stellar ...

Adversarial coordination and public information design
We study flexible public information design in global games. In addition to receiving public information from the designer, agents are endowed with exogenous private information and must decide between two actions (invest and not invest), the profitability of which depends on unknown fundamentals and the agents' aggregate action.

Mitigating the susceptibility to intergranular corrosion of alloy 625 by friction-stir welding
In this work, friction-stir welding (FSW) was employed to alloy 625 grade I (soft annealed) sheets. Therefore, solid-state based welding was undertaken with a tool rotational speed of 200 rpm and a welding speed of 1 mm/s.

G28.17+0.05: An Unusual Giant H
New 21 cm HI observations have revealed a giant HI cloud in the Galactic plane that has unusual properties. It is quite well defined, about 150 pc in diameter at a distance of 5 kpc, and contains as much as 100,000 Solar Masses of atomic hydrogen. The outer parts of the cloud appear in HI emission above the HI background, while the central regions show
