Cataclysmic variables: structure and evolution [PDF]

International Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1994
AbstractI discuss the structure and evolution of cataclysmic variables, with a particular emphasis on the influence of the physics used in calculating the internal structure of the secondary. The available observational data is very rich, and can, in principle, be used to constrain the stellar physics.

Benefitting from brutality? Profits of north‐western Europe's slave trade at the eve of the industrial revolution

The Economic History Review, EarlyView.
Abstract One of the most contentious issues in the study of the Atlantic slave trade is the profitability of the trade. In this paper, we contribute by pooling all available data on transatlantic slave ship voyage accounts into a joint dataset. This dataset includes data from a period of 100 years (1730–1830) and from five nations (Denmark, France ...

What’s Cool About Hot Stars? Cataclysmic Variables in the Mid-Infrared [PDF]

, 2009
We review recent results from mid-infrared observations of cataclysmic variables with the Spitzer Space Telescope. In general, these observations have revealed mid-infrared excesses, above the level expected from the stellar and accretion components, in ...

Thinking and Talking About War: How the Public in Six Countries Discusses the Outbreak of the War in Ukraine

JCMS: Journal of Common Market Studies, EarlyView.
Abstract The Russian aggression in Ukraine, launched on 24 February 2022, marked the return of conventional war in the European continent. While Western leaders have framed the ongoing conflict through a common narrative when speaking internationally, which varies in its national nuances, much less is known about the images and lenses that the European

QPOs in Cataclysmic Variables and in X-ray Binaries [PDF]

, 2005
Recent observations, reported by Warner and Woudt, of Dwarf Nova Oscillations (DNOs) exhibiting frequency drift, period doubling, and 1:2:3 harmonic structure, can be understood as disc oscillations that are excited by perturbations at the spin frequency

Advancing Robust Governance in Turbulent Times: The Role of Multi‐Level Governance, Hybrid Governance, and Negotiated Societal Intelligence

Public Administration, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT New research argues that robust governance based on flexible adaptation and proactive innovation is needed in order to uphold core public functions, purposes, and values in times of societal turbulence. However, we have limited knowledge of the conditions for enhancing robust governance.

Cataclysmic variables in Globular clusters: First results on the analysis of the MOCCA simulations database [PDF]

, 2016
In this first investigation of the MOCCA database with respect to cataclysmic variables, we found that for models with Kroupa initial distributions, considering the standard value of the efficiency of the common-envelope phase adopted in BSE, no single ...

Teaching New Religious Movements Historically: Distance, Empathy, and Cults in the Classroom

Teaching Theology &Religion, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Resistance to understanding the beliefs of modern New Religious Movements (NRMs) is well‐known to those who teach in the area. This paper builds on Eugene Gallagher's repurposing of “methodological belief” for college classes on NRMs by suggesting that scholars and teachers in the field of religious studies engage methods and content drawn ...
