Artificial Intelligences: A Bridge Toward Diverse Intelligence and Humanity's Future

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Many discussions of artificial intelligence fail to address deeper questions being raised by advances in developmental biology, neuroscience, bioengineering, and philosophy of mind. Novel beings, including technologically and biologically augmented humans, engineered life forms, hybrots, and others, require tools of the emerging field of diverse ...

Populating a cluster of galaxies - I. Results at z=0 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
ABSTRA C T We simulate the assembly of a massive rich cluster and the formation of its constituent galaxies in a flat, low-density universe. Our most accurate model follows the collapse, the star formation history and the orbital motion of all galaxies ...

MMT Extremely Metal Poor Galaxy Survey I. An Efficient Technique to Identify Metal Poor Galaxies

open access: yes, 2007
We demonstrate a successful strategy for identifying extremely metal poor galaxies. Our preliminary survey of 24 candidates contains 10 metal poor galaxies of which 4 have 12+log(O/H)

Hot Stars, Young Stellar Populations and Dust with Swift/UVOT

open access: yesUniverse
In this review, we highlight the contributions made by the Swift/UVOT instrument to the understanding of the ultraviolet (UV) attenuation and extinction properties of interstellar dust and provide insight into hot stars and young stellar populations. The

Equivalent width Measurements in Optical Spectra of Galaxies in Local Clusters: Hints On the Star Formation History in Clusters

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2011
Equivalent widths of spectral lines in the optical spectra of galaxies are commonly used to characterize their stellar populations and to get some insight on their evolution.

Emission Knots and Polarization Swings of Swinging Jets

open access: yesGalaxies, 2016
Knots (emission features in jets of active galactic nuclei) often show non-ballistic dynamics and variable emission/polarization properties. We model these features as emission pattern propagating in a jet that carries a helical magnetic field and is ...

The 50 Mpc Galaxy Catalog (50 MGC): Consistent and Homogeneous Masses, Distances, Colors, and Morphologies

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
We assemble a catalog of 15424 nearby galaxies within 50 Mpc with consistent and homogenized mass, distance, and morphological type measurements. Our catalog combines galaxies from HyperLeda, the NASA-Sloan Atlas, and the Catalog of Local Volume Galaxies.

Parametric Design of Continuum Robots Using Interlocking Ball Joints

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Herein, a parametric design methodology is introduced for producing a wide variety of modular ball joint‐based continuum robots. It is demonstrate by designing a magnetically actuated continuum robot for cardiac ablations. The methodology is released as an open‐source computer‐assisted design extension that automatically designs continuum robots based ...

The Auriga Project: the properties and formation mechanisms of disc galaxies across cosmic time [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
We introduce a suite of 30 cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical zoom simulations of the formation of galaxies in isolated Milky Way mass dark haloes. These were carried out with the moving mesh code arepo, together with a comprehensive model for galaxy ...
