Building up the Population III initial mass function from cosmological initial conditions [PDF]
, 2016 We simulate the growth of a Population III stellar system, starting from cosmological initial conditions at z=100. We follow the formation of a minihalo and the subsequent collapse of its central gas to high densities, resolving scales as small as ~ 1 AU.

Autophagy in cancer and protein conformational disorders
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Autophagy plays a crucial role in numerous biological processes, including protein and organelle quality control, development, immunity, and metabolism. Hence, dysregulation or mutations in autophagy‐related genes have been implicated in a wide range of human diseases.

The Initial Mass Function of the Galactic Early-type Field Stars Based on the LAMOST Survey
The Astrophysical JournalResearch on the high-mass end of the initial mass function (IMF) has been limited due to a scarcity of samples. Recently, Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope (LAMOST), as the most efficient spectroscopic telescope, has provided new ...

BANYAN. IX. The Initial Mass Function and Planetary-mass Object Space Density of the TW HYA Association [PDF]
, 2016 A determination of the initial mass function (IMF) of the current, incomplete census of the 10 Myr-old TW Hya association (TWA) is presented. This census is built from a literature compilation supplemented with new spectra and 17 new radial velocities ...

Evolutionary interplay between viruses and R‐loops
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Viruses interact with specialized nucleic acid structures called R‐loops to influence host transcription, epigenetic states, latency, and immune evasion. This Perspective examines the roles of R‐loops in viral replication, integration, and silencing, and how viruses co‐opt or avoid these structures.

Intense Star Cluster Formation: Stellar Masses, the Mass Function, and the Fundamental Mass Scale
The Astrophysical Journal LettersWithin the birth environment of a massive globular cluster, the combination of a luminous young stellar population and a high column density induces a state in which the thermal optical depth and radiation pressure are both appreciable.

A perturbed parameter model ensemble to investigate Mt. Pinatubo's 1991 initial sulfur mass emission [PDF]
Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics, 2015 We have performed more than 300 atmospheric simulations of the 1991 Pinatubo eruption using the AER 2-D sulfate aerosol model to optimize the initial sulfur mass injection as a function of altitude, which in previous modeling studies has often been ...

On the mass-to-light ratio and the initial mass function in disc galaxies [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2004 A low mass-to-light ratio for the stellar component of spiral galaxies (M/L<1 in the I-band) is advocated by various dynamical arguments and by recent cosmological simulations of the formation of these systems. We discuss this possibility by means of chemo-photometric models for galactic discs, adopting different Initial Mass Functions. We show that
