Skepticism and Ontological Parsimony

Pacific Philosophical Quarterly, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT External world skepticism is often thought to entail that we should suspend judgment about the existence of the external world. I challenge this orthodoxy by arguing that, when combined with a plausible principle of ontological parsimony, the skeptical challenge intensifies into an argument for outright disbelief in the external world.

On the Formation of Star-forming Galaxies Having Anomalously Low-metallicity Regions: The Role of Galaxy Interaction and Circumgalactic Medium/Intergalactic Medium Accretion

The Astrophysical Journal
Gas accretion from both the circumgalactic medium (CGM)/intergalactic medium (IGM) and interacting companion galaxy can dilute the gas phase metallicity of a galaxy. However, their relative contribution to the chemical evolution of galaxies remains to be

Is Less More? Field Evidence on the Impact of Anti‐Bribery Policies on Employee Knowledge and Corrupt Behavior

Regulation &Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Companies increasingly adopt internal norms to enhance compliance with legal rules. However, the rapid growth in volume and complexity of such internal rules may obstruct employee knowledge and understanding of such internal rules, and therefore also their compliance.

Tidal Interaction of Galaxies

The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 1978
In this paper we investigate the effect of weak tidal interactions among galaxies in clusters. We obtain the Fokker-Planck coefficients for this process by making use of the impulse approximation. We assume that the outer regions of a galaxy are well described by isotropically distributed stellar orbits with small angular momenta.

Women in space: A review of known physiological adaptations and health perspectives

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Exposure to the spaceflight environment causes adaptations in most human physiological systems, many of which are thought to affect women differently from men. Since only 11.5% of astronauts worldwide have been female, these issues are largely understudied.

The molecular gas content throughout the low-z merger sequence

The Open Journal of Astrophysics
Exploiting IRAM 30 m CO spectroscopy, we find that SDSS post-merger galaxies display gas fractions and depletion times enhanced by 25-50\%, a mildly increased CO excitation, and standard molecular-to-atomic gas ratios, compared to non-interacting ...

A study of galaxy interactions

, 2014
This work describes the in-depth study of two systems of interacting galaxies, namely Arp 10 and VII Zw466. Both systems belong to a special group of interacting galaxies known as collisional ring and ring-like galaxies. A typical ring galaxy emerges when a companion galaxy passes through or near the center of a larger rotating disk galaxy driving ring-

50% body weight loading reduces stature increases and lumbar disc expansion from 4 h hyper‐buoyancy floatation versus 15 min sitting upright

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Microgravity is associated with stature increases, back pain and post‐flight intervertebral disc (IVD) herniation. This study aims to determine whether 30 s seated 50% body weight (BW) axial loading is comparable to 15 min sitting upright in 1 g upon changes in stature, anterior lumbar IVD height (via ultrasound), passive vertebral stiffness ...

Self-interacting Dark Matter Interpretation of Crater II

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
The satellite galaxy Crater II of the Milky Way is extremely cold and exceptionally diffuse. These unusual properties are challenging to understand in the standard model of cold dark matter.

Cerebrovascular pulsatility following long duration spaceflight is associated with changes in pulse pressure and carotid artery stiffness

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Central artery stiffening increases the haemodynamic pulsations transmitted downstream towards target organs, including the brain. While recent evidence suggests that long duration spaceflight is associated with reduced common carotid artery (CCA) distensibility, cerebrovascular pulsatility has not been extensively characterized in astronauts.
