Applications to celestial mechanics
, 2022 Recently an asymptotic formula for the distance of the invariant manifolds of L3 in the RCP3BP when the mass parameter tends to zero was proven. In this study we numerically check the formula using high precision routines and give approximate values for the constants involved.

Mood Selection in the Old Northumbrian Gloss to Durham MS A.iv.19
Transactions of the Philological Society, EarlyView.Abstract The aim of this article is to examine the use of the subjunctive in the 10th‐century Old Northumbrian gloss to Durham, MS.A.iv.19. We assess whether there is evidence for a weakening of the indicative/subjunctive opposition, as has been argued for the earlier gloss to the Lindisfarne Gospels, which was the work of the same glossator, Aldred of

Foraging by predatory ants: A review
Insect Science, EarlyView.This review focuses on ecological and behavioral characteristics of foraging in ants showing the wide diversity of cases. Most ants can feed on sugary substances, but some ground‐nesting species are strict predators. Except army ants during the nomadic phase, they are central‐place foragers that can recruit nestmates when necessary. They prey mostly on

Faith, gender and financial investment: Providence and Presbyterianism in Scotland and abroad
Asia‐Pacific Economic History Review, EarlyView.Abstract Mid‐nineteenth century fictional representations of misdirected investment by widows and clergy position them as ignorant in financial matters and hence pitiable. While scholars have recognised female agency in nineteenth century commerce, insufficient attention has been paid to religious belief in financial decision‐making.

A MODIFICATION OF GAUSS' METHOD FOR PRELIMINARY DETERMINATION OF A CELESTIAL BODY'S ORBIT
Odessa Astronomical Publications, 2016 A modification of classical Gauss’ method for determination of Keplerian elements from the observed positions is considered in this paper. The modification involves the exhaustive enumeration of all possible orbital plane positions in order to improve ...

Dismantling the Shed. A Chronicle
Anthropology and Humanism, EarlyView.Abstract It is the festive beginning of spring in a small village and sailing tourism resort in the Masurian Lake District, Northeast Poland: Catholic Easter is followed by Majówka, the first tourism weekend in May. Caught up between the rituals of Easter and those of tourism in the village, you, Zenon, a middle‐aged man born there, lose grip on the ...

Ecosystem services provided by spiders
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Spiders, ubiquitous and abundant predators in terrestrial ecosystems, often are the subjects of an unjust negative perception. However, these remarkable creatures stand as unsung heroes within our ecosystems, contributing a multitude of ecosystem services critical to human well‐being.

Physically Based Real‐Time Rendering of Eclipses
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract We present a novel approach for simulating eclipses, incorporating effects of light scattering and refraction in the occluder's atmosphere. Our approach not only simulates the eclipse shadow, but also allows for watching the Sun being eclipsed by the occluder.

Terrain descriptors for landscape synthesis, analysis and simulation
Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.Abstract Synthetic landscape generation is an active research area within Computer Graphics. Algorithms for terrain synthesis and ecosystem simulations often rely on simple descriptors such as slope, light accessibility, and drainage area. Typically, the results are assessed from a perceptual standpoint, focusing primarily on visual plausibility. Other
