The Luminosity & Mass Function of the Trapezium Cluster: From B stars to the Deuterium Burning Limit [PDF]
We use the results of a new, multi-epoch, multi-wavelength, near-infrared census of the Trapezium Cluster in Orion to construct and to analyze the structure of its infrared (K band) luminosity function.

The Metal-Poor IMF, Stellar Evolution, and Star Formation Histories [PDF]
AbstractI present an introduction to three important subjects relevant to low metallicity star formation: the IMF, stellar evolution, and star formation histories. I will draw on observations from the LCID (Local Cosmology from Isolated Dwarfs) project to illustrate some of these topics.

Infall Models of Elliptical Galaxies: Further Evidence for a Top-Heavy Initial Mass Function [PDF]
Chemical and photometric models of elliptical galaxies with infall of primordial gas, and subsequent ejection of processed material via galactic winds, are described.

SWMF simulation of field-aligned currents for a varying northward and duskward IMF with nonzero dipole tilt [PDF]
This study concentrates on the FACs distribution for the varying northward and duskward interplanetary magnetic field (IMF) conditions when the dipole tilt is nonzero. A global MHD simulation (the Space Weather Modeling Framework, SWMF) has been used

Star formation in Perseus. IV. Mass dependent evolution of dense cores [PDF]
In our SCUBA survey of Perseus, we find that the fraction of protostellar cores increases towards higher masses and the most massive cores are all protostellar.

Intramuscular fat (IMF) content depends on sex, genotype and diet and varies with pig growth. The aim of the present work was to determine the evolution of IMF by genotype-sex, muscle and muscle location, to determine relationships between IMF content of

Irreversibility of regime shifts in the North Sea
Human impacts can induce ecosystems to cross tipping points and hence unexpected and sudden changes in ecosystem services that are difficult or impossible to reverse. The world´s oceans suffer from cumulative anthropogenic pressures like overexploitation

The galaxy stellar mass-star formation rate relation: Evidence for an evolving stellar initial mass function? [PDF]
The evolution of the galaxy stellar mass--star formation rate relationship (M*-SFR) provides key constraints on the stellar mass assembly histories of galaxies.

ZFIRE: Using H$\alpha$ equivalent widths to investigate the in situ initial mass function at z~2 [PDF]
We use the ZFIRE survey (http://zfire.swinburne.edu.au) to investigate the high mass slope of the initial mass function (IMF) for a mass-complete (log10(M$_*$/M$_\odot$)~9.3) sample of 102 star-forming galaxies at z~2 using their H$\alpha$ equivalent ...

Fifty Years of IMF Variation: The Intermediate-Mass Stars
I track the history of star count estimates of the Milky Way field star and open cluster IMFs, concentrating on the neglected mass range from 1 to 15 M${_\odot}$.
