Cis–Trans Rotational Isomerism of Formic Acid, Sulfur, and Selenium Analogues and Their Dimers: Chemical Kinetics Under Interstellar Conditions

International Journal of Chemical Kinetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We present chemical kinetic rate constants for the cis to trans isomerisation or rotamerization of monomeric seleno‐, thio‐, and formic acids and that of three of their dimeric species, based on variational transition state theory and multidimensional tunneling calculations in the gas‐phase, from 10 K to 300 K. These provide, firstly, reliable

Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies and the evolution of galaxies and active galaxies [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2000
Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) are intriguing due to their continuum as well as emission line properties. The observed peculiar properties of the NLS1s are believed to be due to accretion rate close to Eddington limit. As a consequence, for a given luminosity, NLS1s have smaller black hole (BH) masses compared to normal Seyfert galaxies.

Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Saving Bambi from the mower? Using a drone with thermal camera to evaluate a low‐tech scaring technique to reduce roe deer fawn mortality during grass harvest

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.

Merging Galaxies with Active Nuclei [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1999
We are investigating a sample of nearby interacting and merging galaxies showing starburst properties and/or nonthermal nuclear activity (e.g. Mrk 231, Mrk 739, Mrk 1027, NGC 2992, Arp 92).

The Crystal Structures of High‐ and Low‐Temperature Silver Pyrophosphate: Structural Instability and Its Consequences

Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, EarlyView.
The crystal structures of the high‐temperature and low‐temperature phases of silver pyrophosphate are reported. The structural results are complemented by thermal analysis, vibrational and 31P‐MAS‐NMR spectroscopy studies, and density functional theory calculations.

A low‐cost, portable polarizing digital light microscope for monitoring crystal growth and for crystal harvesting

Journal of Applied Crystallography, EarlyView.
A low‐cost, portable, medium‐resolution polarizing digital light microscope device for monitoring crystal growth and for crystal harvesting is described. The device can be used with a cell phone or a personal computer for real‐time imaging by professional and amateur scientists alike.Motivated by the need for a convenient way to demonstrate the growth ...

‘A Sort of Armed Argument’: Ireland's Civil War of Words

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article sets out to contribute to the study of the languages of European civil wars through outlining and analysing the deployment of language as a weapon by the opposing sides of the Irish independence movement that split over the terms of the Anglo‐Irish Treaty of December 1921.

Humble beginnings of the Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus): A century‐old mystery solved

Insect Science, EarlyView.
The Australian giant wood moth (Endoxyla cinereus) feeds within the galls of scale insects (Apiomorpha) before transitioning into its wood‐boring eucalypt larval phase. This transitionary phase may be key to its multi‐year development, at the end of which it can produce over 100 000 eggs.
