The compound stream event of March 20-25, 2011 as measured by the STEREO B spacecraft

Abstract<p>The interaction of interplanetary coronal mass ejections (ICME) with each other and with co-rotating interaction regions (CIR) changes their configuration, dynamics, magnetic field and plasma characteristics and can make space weather forecasting difficult. During the period of March 20–25, 2011, the Solar Terrestrial Relation Observatory (<italic>STEREO</italic> B) encountered a compound stream containing several interacting structures. Our analysis suggests that the stream consists of two ICMEs followed by an embedded ICME/CIR. The sudden appearance of the third ICME within the fast wind side of the CIR causes the proton temperature(<inline-formula><alternatives><tex-math>$T_{p} $</tex-math><math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msub><mi>T</mi><mi>p</mi></msub></math></alternatives></inline-formula>) to drop suddenly to its lowest level in about 1.2 hours, from <inline-formula><alternatives><tex-math>$3.89 \times 10^{5}$</tex-math><math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mn>3.89</mn><mo>×</mo><msup><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow><mrow><mn>5</mn></mrow></msup></math></alternatives></inline-formula> K to <inline-formula><alternatives><tex-math>$1.07 \times 10^{4}$</tex-math><math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mn>1.07</mn><mo>×</mo><msup><mrow><mn>10</mn></mrow><mrow><mn>4</mn></mrow></msup></math></alternatives></inline-formula> K (by a factor of ≈36). The fast wind which follows the CIR influences not only the third ICME’s temperature but also its proton beta (<inline-formula><alternatives><tex-math>$\upbeta_{\mathrm{p}}$</tex-math><math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msub><mi>β</mi><mi>p</mi></msub></math></alternatives></inline-formula>). In addition, the third ICME impacts the CIR through expansion and deceleration. A forward pressure wave penetrates ICME1. It’s source is either the second ICME, the merged third ICME and CIR, or it may be a remnant shock. The compression causes an increase of the <inline-formula><alternatives><tex-math>$T_{p}$</tex-math><math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msub><mi>T</mi><mi>p</mi></msub></math></alternatives></inline-formula> and <inline-formula><alternatives><tex-math>$\upbeta_{\mathrm{p}}$</tex-math><math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><msub><mi>β</mi><mi>p</mi></msub></math></alternatives></inline-formula> of the second and part of the first ICME. Despite the signatures of four large-scale interacting structures within the compound stream, it is difficult to reconcile the <italic>in-situ</italic> sequence with other remote sensing observations of ejecta close to the Sun because of the large system of coronal expanding loops above the active region. Compound streams therefore remain difficult to interpret, and further understanding of the subject will depend on the future study of similar events.</p>

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease causes permanent morbidity, premature mortality and great burden to the healthcare system. Smoking is it's most common risk factor and Spirometry is for diagnosing COPD and monitoring its progression.

Objectives: Early detection of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease in symptomatic smokers’ ≥ 40years by spirometry.

Methods: A cross sectional study on all symptomatic smokers aged ≥ 40 years attending ten PHCCs in Baghdad Alkarkh and Alrisafa. Those whose FEV1/FVC was <70% on spirometry; after giving bronchodilator, were considered COPD +ve.

Results: Overall, airway obstruction was seen in
