Mucormycosis is an invasive, rapidly progressive, life-threatening fungal infection, with a propensity for diabetic, immunosuppressed, and trauma patients. The classic rhinocerebral variation is most common in diabetic patients. While the cutaneous form is usually caused by direct inoculation in immunocompetent patients. Cutaneous mucormycosis manifests in soft tissue and risks involvement of underlying structures. Tibial osteomyelitis can also occur secondary to cutaneous mucormycosis but is rare. Limb salvage is typically successful after lower extremity cutaneous mucormycosis even when the bone is involved. Herein, we report two cases of lower extremity cutaneous mucormycosis in diabetic patients that presented as acute worsening of chronic pretibial ulcers. Despite aggressive antifungal therapy and surgical debridement, both ultimately required amputation. Such aggressive presentation has not been reported in the absence of major penetrating trauma, recent surgery, or burns.

Purpose: The study focuses on the distribution of brand love on customers' behavioral intention at five-star hotels in Vietnam. Furthermore, the study also assesses the role of mediating variables and moderating variable involved in the research model. Research design, data and methodology This research surveys 458 customers using the services of five-star hotels in Vietnam through questionnaires on online platforms. Data cleaning and data analysis using SPSS 25.0 software combined with Smart-PLS 3.0 software were used in the research to evaluate the measurement model and structural model. Results: From the results of the structural model evaluation, it shows the positive distribution of brand love on customers' behavioral intentions towards five-star hotels in Vietnam. The mediating roles of brand engagement, brand equity, customer motivation, and the participation of the moderating variable, customer expectations, are determined by this research model. Conclusions: Based on the study results, the distribution of brand love positively affects customers' behavioral intention at five-star hotels in Vietnam, giving recommendations that have a positive impact on customer behavioral intention. In addition, the study shows the role of mediating variables as well as exploring the moderator's (customer expectations) in the distribution of relationships between customer motivation and customer behavioral intention.

A merger or interaction between galaxy clusters is one of the most violent events in the universe. Thus, an interacting cluster is an optimum laboratory to understand how galaxy properties are influenced by a drastic change of the large-scale environment. Here, we present the observational evidence that bars in disk galaxies can form by cluster-cluster interaction and the bar formation is associated with star-formation enhancement. We investigated 105 galaxy clusters at 0.015

Jellyfish galaxies show spectacular features such as star-forming knots and tails due to strong ram-pressure stripping in galaxy clusters. Thus, jellyfish galaxies are very useful targets to investigate the effects of ram-pressure stripping on the star formation activity in galaxies. Integral field spectroscopy (IFS) studies are the best way to study star formation in jellyfish galaxies, but they have been limited to those in low-mass galaxy clusters until now. In this study, we present a Gemini GMOS/IFU study of three jellyfish galaxies in very massive clusters (M_200 > 10^15 Mo). The host clusters (Abell 2744, MACSJ0916.1-0023, and MACSJ1752.0+4440) are X-ray luminous and dynamically unstable, suggesting that ram-pressure stripping in these clusters is much stronger than in low-mass clusters. We present preliminary results of star formation rates, kinematics, dynamical states, and ionization mechanisms of our sample galaxies and discuss how ram-pressure stripping relates with the star formation activity of jellyfish galaxies in massive clusters.

Ram-pressure stripping (RPS) is known as the main driver of quenching the star formation (SF) activity in cluster galaxies. However, galaxies undergoing RPS in galaxy clusters often show blue star-forming knots in their disturbed disks and tails. The existence of these "jellyfish galaxies" implies that RPS can temporarily boost the SF activity of cluster galaxies. Thus, jellyfish galaxies are very unique and interesting targets to study the influence of RPS on their SF activity, in particular with integral field spectroscopy (IFS). While there have been many IFS studies of jellyfish galaxies in low-mass clusters (e.g., the GASP survey), IFS studies of those in massive clusters have been lacking. We present an IFS study of five jellyfish galaxies in massive clusters at intermediate redshifts using the Gemini GMOS/IFU. Their star formation rates (SFRs) are estimated to be up to 15 Mo/yr in the tails and 50 Mo/yr in the disks. These SFRs are by a factor of 10 higher than those of star-forming galaxies on the main sequence in the M*-SFR relation at similar redshifts. Our results suggest that the SF activity of jellyfish galaxies tends to be more enhanced in massive clusters than in low-mass clusters. This implies that strong RPS in massive clusters can trigger strong starbursts.

In this paper, we further enrich the theory of starcompactness properties by clarifying relationships between various types of weak covering properties and starcompactness and starcompactness-like properties. We also study star-$Linde{\ddot{o}}fness$ of ${\sigma}$-product spaces.

Stability is a very important part which we must consider in structural design. In this paper, we take advantage of finite element method, and study about parametrical instability of star-dome structures, which is subjected to harmonically pulsating load. When calculating stiffness matrix, we consider elastic stiffness and geometrical stiffness simultaneously. In equation of motion, we represent displacements and accelerations by trigonometric series expansions, and then obtain Hill's infinite determinants. After first order approximation, we can get first and second order dynamic instability region finally.

Let D be an integral domain and SF(D) be the set of star operations of finite type on D. We show that if ${\mid}SF(D){\mid}$ < ${\infty}$, then every maximal ideal of D is a $t$-ideal. We give an example of integrally closed quasi-local domains D in which the maximal ideal is divisorial (so a $t$-ideal) but ${\mid}SF(D){\mid}={\infty}$. We also study the integrally closed domains D with ${\mid}SF(D){\mid}{\leq}2$.

This paper reports the progress of a search for exoplanets with S-type orbits in short-period binary star systems. The selected targets have stellar orbital periods of just a few days. These systems are eclipsing binaries so that exoplanet transits, if planets exist, will be highly likely. We report the results for seven binary star systems.

In this paper, we prove the following two statements: (1) There exists a Hausdorff locally $Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ centered-$Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ space that is not star-$Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$. (2) There exists a $T_1$ locally compact centered-$Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$ space that is not star-$Lindel{\ddot{o}}f$. The two statements give a partial answer to Bonanzinga and Matveev [2, Question 1].
