Reverberation Evidence for Stream Collision and Delayed Disk Formation in Tidal Disruption Events by Hengxiao Guo, Jingbo Sun, Shuangliang Li, Yan-Fei Jiang, Tinggui Wang, Defu Bu, Ning Jiang, Yanan Wang, Yuhan Yao, Rongfeng Shen, Minfeng Gu, Mouyuan Sun

“…To distinguish between these models, we investigated the continuum reverberation behaviors for ~30 TDEs with high-quality multiband light curves. We found that over half of them exhibit a positive lag by a few days in UV/optical bands, indicating that their inferred sizes are significantly larger than the envelope sizes in reprocessing. …”

Diagnosis of Columnar Metaplasia of the Esophageal Mucosa in Patients with Complicated Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease by E. D. Fedorov, A. V. Shidii-Zakrua, L. M. Mikhaleva, K. S. Maslenkina, A. A. Lindenberg, D. E. Seleznev, V. O. Kaybysheva, T. A. Partenadze

“…If an irregular type of metaplasized epithelium structure was detected in the process of BING assessment, the areas suspicious for dysplasia were marked, followed by aim forceps biopsy from them. The next stage was staining of the metaplasized segment with 1.5 % ethanic acid solution — acetowhitening. …”
