Line-of-sight shear in SLACS strong lenses I: shear and mass model parametrisations

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Inhomogeneities along the line of sight in strong gravitational lensing distort the images produced, in an effect called shear. If measurable, this shear may provide independent constraints on cosmological parameters, complementary to traditional cosmic ...

Understanding Interactions Between Sustainable Development Goals Within and Between Policy Programmes: The Case of Kenya's Dairy Sector

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Achieving Agenda 2030 depends on addressing interactions between the sustainable development goals (SDGs). In this paper, we conceptualize SDG interactions as synergies or trade‐offs, incoming or outgoing, and internal or external, and analyze how SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) interacts with other SDGs within and across policy programmes that support ...

Gravitational lens theory

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1980
‘… imagine an observer, an isolated galaxy acting as a lens, and a quasar, nearly in a line. Two images would be formed on either side of the lens, and a third one would be formed near the center of the galaxy because the bending for central rays will be small.’ [Jerome Christian, in Physics Today, September 1980.

Developing and Testing a Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) represents a paradigm shift in the provision of safely managed sanitation services with a framework of three outcomes—equity, safety and sustainability. There are several sanitation financial tools, but none of these fully address all CWIS outcomes. Citywide Inclusive Sanitation Financial Tool (CWIS‐FiT) is

Periodontal microbiology and microbial etiology of periodontal diseases: Historical concepts and contemporary perspectives

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract This narrative review summarizes the collective knowledge on periodontal microbiology, through a historical timeline that highlights the European contribution in the global field. The etiological concepts on periodontal disease culminate to the ecological plaque hypothesis and its dysbiosis‐centered interpretation.

Four-body Gravitational Microlensing Events Involving Both a Binary Lens and a Binary Source

The Astrophysical Journal
We present detailed analyses of three anomalous microlensing events—KMT-2021-BLG-0209, KMT-2021-BLG-0901, and OGLE-2025-BLG-0356—identified from a systematic reexamination of KMTNet light curves for which previous modeling attempts failed or left ...

Gravity‐Driven Assembly Dynamics of Liquid Metal Microdroplets for Functional Composite Films

Small, EarlyView.
This article presents a new understanding of the gravitational settling of liquid metal microdroplets in polymer resin films. It employs an experimental and analysis platform for quantification of the process‐structure relationships to inform the dynamics of gravity‐driven assembly in soft circuit architectures. ABSTRACT Liquid metal (LM) microdroplets

From Patterns to Attractor‐Like Modes: A Systems Sensemaking Framework for Recurring Conflict in Healthcare Teams

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Recurring conflict in healthcare teams frequently persists despite well‐intended interventions (Page et al. 2024; Mazzei et al. 2024). Dynamic systems theory helps to map how such recurrences reflect systemic feedback loops linking individual experience, behaviour, shared beliefs and organisational structures, supporting intervention design at

Agglomeration Behavior of Nonmetallic Particles on the Surface of Si‐Killed Liquid Steel Using HT‐CSLM: An In Situ Investigation

steel research international, EarlyView.
The in situ agglomeration behavior of semisolid Al–silicate inclusions in Si‐killed steel is studied using high‐temperature confocal scanning laser microscopy. Particle motion and interparticle forces at the steel/argon interface are quantified and compared with a modified capillary interaction model.
