Landslide preparation by forestry activity in a region of high erosion rates: Waingake Landslide, northeast New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 1015-1030, December 2025.
ABSTRACT Northeastern New Zealand’s sedimentary rocks and soils are particularly vulnerable to landsliding, with some of the highest specific sediment yields, globally. In addition to earthquakes, rainfall is considered an important landslide triggering process.

Cloud and Star Formation in Spiral Arms

, 2014
We present the results from simulations of GMC formation in spiral galaxies. First we discuss cloud formation by cloud-cloud collisions, and gravitational instabilities, arguing that the former is prevalent at lower galactic surface densities and the ...

In silico, in vitro and ex vivo characterization of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator pathogenic variants localized in the fourth intracellular loop and their rescue by modulators

British Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 182, Issue 24, Page 6063-6080, December 2025.
Background and Purpose Cystic fibrosis (CF) is due to loss‐of‐function variants of the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) channel. The most effective treatment for people with CF carrying the F508del mutation is the triple combination of elexacaftor–tezacaftor–ivacaftor (ETI).

The detection of spiral arm modulation in the stellar disk of an optically flocculent and an optically grand design galaxy

, 2000
Two dimensional Fourier spectra of near-infrared images of galaxies provide a powerful diagnostic tool for the detection of spiral arm modulation in stellar disks. Spiral arm modulation may be understood in terms of interference patterns of outgoing and incoming density wave packets or modes.

Nuclear Spirals as Signatures of Supermassive Black Holes

, 2004
Recent high resolution images of spiral galaxies show wide varieties of features including nuclear spirals in the central parts. Some of the galaxies show grand-design nuclear spirals.

The variation in molecular gas depletion time among nearby galaxies: II the impact of galaxy internal structures

, 2015
We use a data set of nearby galaxies drawn from the HERACLES, ATLAS3D, and COLD GASS surveys to study variations in molecular gas depletion time (Tdep) in galaxy structures such as bulges, grand-design spiral arms, bars and rings. Molecular gas is traced

Spiral arms and disc stability in the Andromeda galaxy

, 2017
Aims: Density waves are often considered as the triggering mechanism of star formation in spiral galaxies. Our aim is to study relations between different star formation tracers (stellar UV and near-IR radiation and emission from HI, CO and cold dust) in
