‘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.

Galaxy pairs as a probe for mergers at z ~ 2

, 2011
In this work I investigate the redshift evolution of pair fraction of a sample of 196 massive galaxies from z = 0 to 3, selected from the COSMOS field. We find that on average a massive galaxy undergoes ~ 1.1 \pm 0.5 major merger since z = 3.

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

Integrative 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.

Genotyping Contemporary Captive and Historical Wild Western Lowland Gorillas Indicates Captive Breeding Is Maintaining Genetic Diversity in a Critically Endangered Primate

Animal Conservation, EarlyView.
Captive populations of threatened species risk losing genetic diversity over time. We evaluated the genetic status of contemporary captive western lowland gorillas (Gorilla gorilla gorilla) at Howletts and Port Lympne and compared this with specimens from a historical wild population.

The Origins of Gas Accreted by Supermassive Black Holes: The Importance of Recycled Gas

The Astrophysical Journal
We investigate the fueling mechanisms of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) by analyzing 10 zoom-in cosmological simulations of massive galaxies, with stellar masses 10 ^11–12 M _⊙ and SMBH masses 10 ^8.9–9.7 M _⊙ at z = 0, featuring various major and ...

Out There No One Has a Right to Die

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...

Unions with UNIONS: Using Galaxy–Galaxy Lensing to Probe Galaxy Mergers

The Astrophysical Journal
We use galaxy–galaxy lensing to investigate how the dark matter (DM) haloes and stellar content of galaxies with 0.012 ≤ z ≤ 0.32 and $10\,\leqslant \,{\mathrm{log}}\,_{10}({M}_{\star }/{M}_{\odot })\,\leqslant \,12$ change as a result of the merger ...

Story2Board: A Training‐Free Approach for Expressive Visual Storytelling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract We present Story2Board, a training‐free framework for expressive storyboard generation from natural language. Existing methods narrowly focus on subject identity, overlooking key aspects of visual storytelling such as spatial composition, background evolution, and narrative pacing.

McFACTS III: Compact Binary Mergers from Active Galactic Nucleus Disks over an Entire Synthetic Universe

The Astrophysical Journal
The active galactic nucleus (AGN) channel for the formation of binary black hole (BBH) mergers has been previously studied as a potential formation channel for the merging compact binaries observed by the LIGO–Virgo–KAGRA (LVK) scientific collaboration ...

DiskScissors: Cutting Arbitrary‐Topology Solids for Bijective Mapping

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract An algorithm for cutting solid objects in a topology‐controlled manner is presented. Concretely, given a loop on the object boundary, a disk‐topology cut surface bounded by the loop is constructed in the interior. In contrast to various previous approaches, both disk topology and conformance to the prescribed loop are ensured by construction ...
