The Collapse and Formation of Galaxies [PDF]
The ultimate aim of studies of the dynamics of stellar systems is to gain an understanding of why they have the structures that are observed, how they might have formed, and how they might evolve with time. In the case of galaxies, unlike smaller astronomical systems such as stars and star clusters, the problem of understanding their present structure ...

On the Age Distribution of Classical Cepheids in the Galaxy
ABSTRACT We revisit the problem of the positive correlation between age and Galactocentric distance seen in Galactic Classical Cepheids, which at first sight may seem counter‐intuitive in the context of inside‐out galaxy formation. To explain it, we use the Besançon Galaxy Model and a simulation of star particles in the Galactic disc coupled with ...

We present a new set of multi-million particle SPH simulations of the formation of disk dominated galaxies in a cosmological context. Some of these galaxies are higher resolution versions of the models already described in Governato et al (2007). To correctly compare simulations with observations we create artificial images of our simulations and from ...

Non‐thermal plasma decontamination of microbes: a state of the art
Abstract Microbial decontamination is a critical concern in various sectors, from healthcare to food processing. Traditional decontamination methods, while effective to a degree, present limitations in terms of environmental impact, efficiency, and potential harm to the target material. This review investigates the emerging realm of non‐thermal plasma (

Staphylococcus aureus AgrA Modulators From South African Antimicrobial Plants
The study workflow utilized validated in silico [molecular docking, fingerprinting, pharmacokinetics prediction, molecular dynamics (MD) simulation, ligand‐protein contact maps] tools to bioprospect a wide variety of metabolites surveyed from South African plants with antimicrobial activities, and target them against the key S.

Characterization of the Cubamyces Menziesii Terpenome
The genome of Cubamyces menziesii reveals 18 putative sesquiterpene cyclase genes. These genes are cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli, yielding 10 active enzymes. Using farnesyl diphosphate as substrate, the enzymes are analyzed, and the products characterized after bioconversion, uncovering diverse sesquiterpene structures. This study highlights

Dissipation and the Formation of Galaxies [PDF]
The evidence for dissipation in elliptical galaxies indicates neither the epoch of formation nor the rate of radiation. The hypotheses for the formation of ellipticals include mergers of pre-existing, mostly stellar, disk galaxies; accumulation of gassy fragments that subsequently turn into stars; and the dynamical collapse of a distinct protogalactic ...

LGBTQ+ Affirmative Care Training in Counselor Education: A Community‐Based Inquiry
ABSTRACT Counselor educators, counselors‐in‐training, and LGBTQ+ community members engaged in a community‐based qualitative inquiry exploring LGBTQ+ affirmative care education. Findings revealed counselor educators’ components and delivery of content, developmental implications for applying LGBTQ+ affirmative care, and gaps between education and LGBTQ+

Random discrete probability measures based on a negative binomial process
Abstract A distinctive functional of the Poisson point process is the negative binomial process for which the increments are not independent but are independent conditional on an underlying gamma variable. Using a new point process representation for the negative binomial process, we generalize the Poisson–Kingman distribution and its corresponding ...
