Brightness Behavior of Distant Oort Cloud Comets
Dynamically new comets provide important insights into the conditions of the presolar nebula and its evolution, as they are believed to have experienced minimal solar heating before their discovery.

Cytogenotoxic Effects of Fluopyram in Allium cepa Root Cells Involving Microtubule Disruption
ABSTRACT Fluopyram is a next‐generation fungicide widely used in agriculture; however, its persistence in soils and mobility toward aquatic systems have raised concerns regarding potential ecotoxicological risks. This study evaluated the cytogenotoxic effects of a commercial fluopyram‐based pesticide formulation on Allium cepa root meristem cells ...

Cytogenotoxic and Molecular Assessment of Pyrethrins on Non‐Target Allium cepa Roots
ABSTRACT The pyrethrins, which form a part of naturally occurring insecticidal chemicals derived from chrysanthemum flowers, not only provide rapid knockdown of a broad spectrum of insect pests but are also widely used in integrated pest management due to a generally favorable safety profile, largely attributed to low mammalian toxicity.

Physical and Dynamical Evolution of Long-Period Comets [PDF]
Oort (1950) first suggested that the source of the long-period comets is a large spherical cloud of comets surrounding the solar system and extending roughly halfway to the nearest stars. The observational evidence for this is the distribution of original inverse semi-major axes of the long-period comets which shows a large spike of comets at very ...

The English language is a gargantuan, gluttonous beast. It has become extraordinary in its powers of assimilation – such that we rarely consider the origins of the words we use. In this paper, we will shed light on these origins, including the Pontic–Caspian steppe, the British Empire and, of course, a TV show.

Modeling Ice and Dust in Comet C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS)’s Coma
C/2017 K2 (Pan-STARRS) is a long-period comet that has been active since 24 au inbound and likely as far out as 35 au, far beyond where the sublimation of water ice can power cometary activity.

ABSTRACT In 1955, two female factory workers and trade union leaders, Tan Lee Eng and Kwek Tai Eng, established the Singapore Women's Federation (SWF) to unite women regardless of race, religion or class for the anti‐colonial nationalist struggle. Singapore Chinese left‐wing feminism emerged at the confluence of the nationalist interest in mobilising ...
