Spatial Variations of Stellar Elemental Abundances in FIRE Simulations of Milky Way-mass Galaxies: Patterns Today Mostly Reflect Those at Formation

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Spatial patterns of stellar elemental abundances encode rich information about a galaxy’s formation history. We analyze the radial, vertical, and azimuthal variations of metals in stars, both today and at formation, in the FIRE-2 cosmological simulations

Chemical behavior of the Dwarf Irregular Galaxy NGC 6822. Its PN and HII region abundances

open access: yes, 2009
We aim to derive the chemical behavior of a significant sample of PNe and HII regions in the irregular galaxy NGC 6822 The selected objects are distributed in different zones of the galaxy.

Turbulent Gas-rich Disks at High Redshift: Origin of Thick Stellar Disks Through 3D “Baryon Sloshing”

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
In response to recent observations from JWST and Atacama Large Millimeter Array, we explore a new class of dynamically self-consistent models that mimics a plausible progenitor of the Milky Way over a wide range of disk gas fractions, f _gas .

Heavy Element Nucleosynthesis

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences, 2018
This contribution deals with the important subject of the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements in the Galaxy. After an overview of several observational features, the physical processes responsible mainly for the formation of heavy elements will be ...

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...

Under Pressure: Decoding the Effect of High Densities on Derived Nebular Properties

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Recent JWST observations have uncovered a population of compact, high-redshift ( z  > 6) galaxies exhibiting extreme nebular conditions and enhanced nitrogen abundances that challenge standard chemical evolution paradigms.

Diving Deeper Into Mechanisms of Acrylamide‐Induced Toxicity: RNA Sequencing Reveals Transcriptomic Alteration and Retrotransposon Expression in Drosophila melanogaster

open access: yesEnvironmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Given the inevitability of human and animal exposure to acrylamide, there is increasing concern regarding its potential health risks. While a number of molecular mechanisms have been proposed, the complexity of acrylamide toxicological pathways and interactions remains incompletely characterized.

CHEMICAL EVOLUTION LIBRARY FOR GALAXY FORMATION SIMULATION [PDF]

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2017
Abstract We have developed a software library for chemical evolution simulations of galaxy formation under the simple stellar population (SSP) approximation. In this library, all of the necessary components concerning chemical evolution, such as initial mass functions, stellar lifetimes, yields from Type II and Type Ia supernovae ...

Response of Fecal Bacteria and Fungi to Tannin‐Rich Diets in Sika Deer (Cervus nippon): Evidence from Both Feeding Experiments and Field Investigations

open access: yesIntegrative 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.
