Chemie Ingenieur Technik, EarlyView.All energy matters Let us broaden the discussion on solutions to climate change. Greenhouse gases have upset the delicate equilibrium of the Earth's energy balance. Consequently, all sources of heat affect the temperature of the Earth. Although the amount of additional heat generated by humans is a fraction of that produced by the sun, it is generated ...

The relationship between Gas and Galaxies [PDF]
, 2009 We have investigated the 2D 2-point correlation function, ƐAG, between low column density Lya absorbers and galaxies at a redshift z ~ 1 for the first time.

Chemical abundances of LINER galaxies – nitrogen abundance estimations
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical SocietyABSTRACT In this work, we investigated the nitrogen and oxygen abundances in a sample of galaxies with Low Ionization Nuclear Emission Regions (LINERs) in their nucleus. Optical spectroscopic data (3600 – 10 000 Å) of 40 LINERs from the Mapping Nearby Galaxies (MaNGAs) survey were considered.

The elemental abundance pattern in a galaxy at z = 2.626 [PDF]
Nature, 2003 The discovery of metal-poor stars (where metal is any element more massive than helium) has enabled astronomers to probe the chemical enrichment history of the Milky Way. More recently, element abundances in gas inside high-redshift galaxies has been probed through the absorption lines imprinted on the spectra of background quasars, but these have ...

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.

Mapping the dynamics, star-formation rates, and chemical properties of galaxies with integral field spectroscopy [PDF]
, 2005 Major advances in the development of instruments for eight and ten meter class telescopes are revolutionising our understanding of galaxy formation. In particular, Integral Field Spectrographs (which produce a three dimensional {x, y, velocity) map of a ...

CARBON AND NITROGEN ABUNDANCES IN EARLY-TYPE GALAXIES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2009 For the first time, we undertake a systematic examination of the nitrogen abundances for a sample of 35 early-type galaxies spanning a range of masses and local environment. The nitrogen-sensitive molecular feature at 3360Åhas been employed in conjunction with a suite of atomic- and molecular-sensitive indices to provide unique and definitive ...

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.

The Hubble Constant Anchor Galaxy NGC 4258: Metallicity and Distance from Blue Supergiants
The Astrophysical JournalA quantitative spectroscopic study of blue supergiant stars in the Hubble constant anchor galaxy NGC 4258 is presented. The non-LTE analysis of Keck I telescope LRIS spectra yields a central logarithmic metallicity (in units of the solar value) of [ Z ] =
