A regime shift in the Southeast Greenland marine ecosystem
The amount of drift‐ice along East Greenland has decreased significantly over the past two decades, and the summer sea ice has virtually disappeared since 2003 leading to a regime shift in oceanographic and ecological conditions in the region. The lack of pack ice in summer together with a warming ocean generated cascading effects on the ecosystem in ...

The spectra and ages of blue stragglers
A mechanism similar to Wheeler's quasi-homogeneous evolution and Finzi and Wolf's proposal for blue stragglers is proposed as the origin of the blue stragglers in intermediate-age clusters. Blue stragglers are stars whose positions in color-magnitude diagrams of open and globular clusters are significantly above the turn-off points and in the region of

Variability of jaw muscles in Tunisian street dogs and adaptation to skull shape
Abstract The impact of artificial selection on the masticatory apparatus of dogs has been poorly studied, and comparative data with dogs subjected to more natural constraints are lacking. This study explores the jaw musculature of Tunisian street dogs, which are largely free from the influence of breed‐specific selection.

NGC 2506 is a rich, intermediate-age (2.0 Gyr), metal-poor ([Fe/H] ∼ −0.2) open cluster. This work presents the results of 12,157 spectroscopic radial-velocity measurements of 2442 stars in the NGC 2506 field obtained over 41 yr, made as part of the WIYN

Blue Straggler Stars: Early Observations that Failed to Solve the Problem [PDF]
In this chapter, I describe early ideas on blue stragglers, and various observations (some published, some not) that promised but failed to resolve the question of their origin. I review the data and ideas that were circulating from Allan Sandage's original discovery in 1953 of "anomalous blue stars" in the globular cluster M3, up until about 1992 ...

ABSTRACT Prior research has established differences between autistic and non‐autistic individuals across the domains of executive function (EF). While some early theories portrayed these differences as universal to the autism spectrum, recent findings have been quite mixed.

States in the process starting with metal oxide nanoparticles in nonequilibrium configurations and ending with functional ceramics that exhibit engineered intergranular regions. Abstract Ion exsolution can be instrumental to engineer intergranular regions inside ceramic microstructures. BaO admixtures that were trapped inside nanometer‐sized MgO grains

Field Blue Stragglers and Related Mass Transfer Issues [PDF]
This chapter contains my impressions and perspectives about the current state of knowledge about field blue stragglers (FBS) stars, drawn from an extensive literature that I searched. I conclude my review of issues that attend FBS and mass transfer, by a brief enumeration of a few mildly disquieting observational facts.

Abstract Monitoring cell culture is crucial for gaining a deeper understanding of processes and ensuring the production of safe and high‐quality products. The capability to measure in real time several parameters of interest can be achieved with Raman spectroscopy.

Moth light traps perform better with vanes: A comparison of different designs
Abstract Many light trap designs exist in the field of applied and basic entomology for catching moths, yet a robust comparative analysis of structural designs of such traps is lacking. Our study compares the performance of three different trap designs to assess the effect of presence/absence of vanes and their colour on trapping efficiency.
