The Disk Wind Contribution to the Gamma-Ray Emission from the Nearby Seyfert Galaxy GRS 1734−292 by Nobuyuki Sakai, Tomoya Yamada, Yoshiyuki Inoue, Ellis R. Owen, Tomonari Michiyama, Ryota Tomaru, Yasushi Fukazawa

“…Using a lepto-hadronic emission model based on a shocked ambient medium and a shocked wind region created by an AGN accretion disk wind, we identify two viable scenarios that are consistent with the Fermi-LAT data and multiwavelength observations: a hadronic pp -dominated scenario and a leptonic external-Compton-dominated scenario. …”

Pulmonary Bacterial Communities in Surgically Resected Noncystic Fibrosis Bronchiectasis Lungs Are Similar to Those in Cystic Fibrosis by Heather Maughan, Kristopher S. Cunningham, Pauline W. Wang, Yu Zhang, Marcelo Cypel, Cecilia Chaparro, D. Elizabeth Tullis, Thomas K. Waddell, Shaf Keshavjee, Mingyao Liu, David S. Guttman, David M. Hwang

“…Pseudomonas was the most common genus in both groups, comprising 49% of sequences detected and dominating numerically in 13 patients. Although Pseudomonas appeared to be dominant more often in CF patients than in non-CF patients, analysis of entire bacterial communities did not identify significant differences between these two groups. …”

Taxonomic and functional diversity of protists in saline and hypersaline lakes in southern Western Siberia, a region strongly affected by climate change by Elena A. Gerasimova, Alexander S. Balkin, Vladimir Y. Kataev, Ekaterina S. Filonchikova, Yulia V. Mindolina, Denis V. Tikhonenkov

“…The taxonomic diversity of protists in lakes determines functional diversity, which is expressed as the relative abundance of free-living heterotrophs, phototrophs, and parasites. Phototrophs dominated the delta-hypersaline waters, and free-living heterotrophs dominated the alpha- and beta-hypersaline lakes. …”
