Power and the Aerial Sublime in Victor Pelevin
Abstract This essay distinguishes flight as a salient trope throughout multiple Pelevin texts: Omon Ra (1992), Chapaev and the Void (1996), Generation P (1999), Empire V (2006), and Love for Three Zuckerbrins (2014). It examines flight through the aesthetics of the sublime—classical, (post)‐Soviet, and postmodern.

Revisiting the emission line source detection problem in integral field spectroscopic data
Abstract We present a 3‐dimensional matched filtering approach for the blind search of faint emission‐line sources in integral‐field spectroscopic datasets. The filter is designed to account for the spectrally rapidly varying background noise due to the telluric air glow spectrum.

Effect of the metallicity of the intergalactic medium in the Lyman‐α forest correlation function
Abstract The Lyman‐α (Lyα) forest allows to constraint cosmological parameters at redshifts above 1.8$$ 1.8 $$ using the technique of standard rulers determined by baryon acoustic oscillations. This makes it an important tracer for the study of the universe at high redshift.

The trouble with STEAM and why we use it anyway
Abstract As an emerging field of theory, research, and practice, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) has received attention for its efforts to incorporate the arts into the rubric of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning.

On the Electromagnetic Vacuum Origins of Dark Energy, Dark Matter, and Astrophysical Jets
We use a semiclassical version of the Nexus paradigm of quantum gravity in which the quantum vacuum at large scales is dominated by the second quantized electromagnetic field to demonstrate that a virtual photon field can affect the geometric evolution of Einstein manifolds or Ricci solitons.

Modeling and Optimization of Infrared-Convection Drying Parameters and Slice Thickness of Onion Slices: Effects on Drying Kinetics and Physicochemical Quality. [PDF]
This assessment focused on drying time, color, shrinkage, water activity, and rehydration ratio. Onion slices were dried using infrared powers 1500, 3500, and 5500 W/m2, airflow rates 0.3, 0.7, and 1.0 m/s, and thicknesses 4, 6, and 8 mm. Midilli and Kucuk most effectively improved the drying process of onion slices in a thin layer.

How do atomic code uncertainties affect abundance measurements in the intracluster medium?
Abstract Accurate chemical abundance measurements of X‐ray‐emitting atmospheres pervading massive galaxies, galaxy groups, and clusters provide essential information on the star formation and chemical enrichment histories of these large‐scale structures.

The two‐dimensional hydrogen atom in an external magnetic field is considered in the context of phase space. Using the solution of the Schrödinger equation in phase space, the Wigner function related to the Zeeman effect is calculated. For this purpose, the Bohlin mapping is used to transform the Coulomb potential into a harmonic oscillator problem ...
