Animal models of pulmonary hypertension: Getting to the heart of the problem
Despite recent therapeutic advances, pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains a fatal disease due to the development of right ventricular (RV) failure. At present, no treatments targeted at the right ventricle are available, and RV function is not widely considered in the preclinical assessment of new therapeutics.

Unmixing Mineral Abundance and Mg# With Radiative Transfer Theory: Modeling and Applications
Abstract Mineral abundance and Mg# (100× molar Mg/(Mg + Fe)) are significant in understanding the crustal composition and thermal history of the Moon. In this study, we derive a new set of optical constants for olivine, orthopyroxene, and clinopyroxene using radiative transfer equations that include soil porosity and the opposition effect. Based on the

Collective relaxation of stellar systems revisited [PDF]
The chaos in stellar systems is studied using the theory of dynamical systems and the Van Kampen stochastic differential equation approach. The exponential instability (chaos) of spherical N-body gravitating systems, already known previously, is ...

The effect of continuum scattering processes on spectral line formation [PDF]
The effect of scattering processes in the continuum on the formation of spectral lines in a static atmosphere with an arbitrary distribution of the internal energy sources is investigated using Ambartsumian's principle of invariance.

The Internal Dynamics of Globular Clusters [PDF]
Galactic globular clusters are ancient building blocks of our Galaxy. They represent a very interesting family of stellar systems in which some fundamental dynamical processes have been taking place for more than 10 Gyr, but on time scales shorter than ...

Dissecting the Colour-Magnitude Diagram: A Homogeneous Catalogue of Stellar Populations in Globular Clusters [PDF]
We present a homogeneous catalogue for blue straggler, red giant branch, horizontal branch and main-sequence turn-off stars in a sample of 35 clusters taken from the ACS Survey for Globular Clusters.

A Method of Finding Source Function for Inverse Diffusion Problem with Time‐Fractional Derivative
The Homotopy Perturbation Method is developed to find a source function for inverse diffusion problem with time‐fractional derivative. The inverse problem is with variable coefficients and initial and boundary conditions. The analytical solutions to the inverse problems are obtained in the form of a finite convergent power series with easily obtainable

Escape of stars from gravitational clusters in the Chandrasekhar model [PDF]
We study the evaporation of stars from globular clusters using the simplified Chandrasekhar model. This is an analytically tractable model giving reasonable agreement with more sophisticated models that require complicated numerical integrations.

Modified Theories of Gravitation behind the Spacetime Deformation
In the framework of proposed theory of spacetime deformation/distortion, we have a way to deform the spacetime through a nontrivial choice of the distortion‐complex, displaying different connections, which may reveal different post‐Riemannian spacetime structures as corollary. We extend this theory to address, in particular, the gauge model of the most

The distinction between star clusters and associations
In Galactic studies a distinction is made between (open) star clusters and associations. For barely resolved objects at a distance of several Mpc this distinction is not trivial to make. Here we provide an objective definition by comparing the age of the
