Accurate Identification of Galaxy Mergers with Imaging [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2019 Merging galaxies play a key role in galaxy evolution, and progress in our understanding of galaxy evolution is slowed by the difficulty of making accurate galaxy merger identifications.

Targeted decrease of portal hepatic pressure gradient improves ascites control after TIPS
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 The river diagram demonstrates that after transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt insertion (TIPS) the majority of patients without ascites and 50% of the patients with ascites detectable at ultrasound, show the best response in the long term follow‐up.

Galaxy mergers moulding the circum-galactic medium – I. The impact of a major merger [PDF]
, 2018 Galaxies are surrounded by sizeable gas reservoirs which host a significant amount of metals: the circum-galactic medium (CGM). The CGM acts as a mediator between the galaxy and the extra-galactic medium. However, our understanding of how galaxy mergers,

Galaxy Mergers up to Z < 2.5. I. The Star Formation Properties of Merging Galaxies at Separations of 3–15 kpc [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2018 We present a study of the influence of galaxy mergers on star formation at 0.3 < z < 2.5. Major mergers are selected from the CANDELS/3D-HST catalog using a peak-finding algorithm. Mergers have projected galaxy nucleus separation of their members between

Mergers and galaxy assembly [PDF]
The 9th astrophysics conference: After the dark ages, when galaxies were young (the Universe at 2<Z<5), 1999 Theoretical considerations and observational data support the idea that mergers were more frequent in the past. At redshifts z = 2 to 5, violent interactions and mergers may be implicated by observations of Lyman-break galaxies, sub-mm starbursts, and active galactic nuclei.

The AGN Luminosity Fraction in Merging Galaxies [PDF]
, 2018 Galaxy mergers are key events in galaxy evolution, often causing massive starbursts and fueling active galactic nuclei (AGN). In these highly dynamic systems, it is not yet precisely known how much starbursts and AGN respectively contribute to the total ...

Janus kinase 2 inhibition by pacritinib as potential therapeutic target for liver fibrosis
Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022 Diagram of the activation of the profibrotic and procontractile Janus kinase 2 (JAK2)/Ras homolog family member A/Rho‐kinase pathway and the inhibition of phosphorylated JAK2 by pacritinib to inhibit hepatic stellate cell activity. Abstract Background and Aims Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) signaling is increased in human and experimental liver fibrosis with ...

Galaxy pairs in the SDSS – XIII. The connection between enhanced star formation and molecular gas properties in galaxy mergers [PDF]
, 2018 We investigate the connection between star formation and molecular gas properties in galaxy mergers at low redshift (z$\leq$0.06). The study we present is based on IRAM 30-m CO(1-0) observations of 11 galaxies with a close companion selected from the ...
