Chemical Evolution of Low Mass Disc Galaxies [PDF]
, 1999 We show that the multiphase chemical evolution model reproduces the correlations obtained along the spiral sequence, dwarf galaxies included. However the apparent spatial chemical uniformity observed in some irregular galaxies cannot be reproduced with it. An evolutionary model has been developed and tested to explain flat gradients.

Wildlife Biology, EarlyView.Roe deer is a species that hides their neonates as an anti‐predator strategy. This may prove efficient against mammalian predators, such as the red fox; however, it might be an ecological trap as large numbers of fawns are killed by tractors with harvesters each year during grass harvest.

High Voltage, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper investigates the effects of radiation on polymeric materials used as insulation systems in electrical equipment such as cables for nuclear and particle accelerator applications. After a detailed description of the physics of radiation‐induced damage in the polymeric matrix, a comprehensive analysis of the physical–chemical and ...

Thick disk and pseudobulge formation in a clump cluster
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Bulges in spiral galaxies have been supposed to be classified into two types: classical bulges or pseudobulges. Classical bulges are thought to form by galactic merger with bursty star formation, whereas pseudobulges are suggested to form by secular ...

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.Abstract In this article we apply Wacquant's conceptualization of the ghetto to an analysis of interviews conducted with Roma people living in the state‐enforced camps of Turin, Italy. We illustrate how the elements characterizing a ghetto according to Wacquant (i.e.

Spatial Dynamics and Lifespan of Adult Cicadas After Fire and Logging: A Radiotracking Study
Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.This study investigates the effects of wildfire and post‐fire salvage logging on the survival, spatial behavior, and habitat selection of Lyristes plebejus cicadas in Mediterranean pine forests. A total of 63 cicadas were captured, tagged with radio transmitters, and released in three disturbance contexts: burnt‐logged, burnt‐unlogged, and unburnt ...

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.Feeding with tannin‐rich diets altered the fecal microbial composition and increased the relative abundance of tannin‐degrading microbes. We hypothesize that fecal bacteria and fungi may play important roles in helping herbivores adapt to tannin‐rich diets but respond to different tannin concentrations varies.

Rotational Kinematics in the Globular Cluster System of M31: Insights from Bayesian Inference
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsAs ancient stellar systems, globular clusters (GCs) offer valuable insights into the dynamical histories of large galaxies. Previous studies of GC populations in the inner and outer regions of the Andromeda Galaxy (M31) have revealed intriguing ...

Computers and chess masters: The role of AI in transforming elite human performance
British Journal of Psychology, EarlyView.Abstract Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) have made significant strides in recent years, often supplementing rather than replacing human performance. The extent of their assistance at the highest levels of human performance remains unclear. We analyse over 11.6 million decisions of elite chess players, a domain commonly used as a testbed for AI
