The Natural Science Underlying Big History

The Scientific World Journal, Volume 2014, Issue 1, 2014., 2014
Nature’s many varied complex systems—including galaxies, stars, planets, life, and society—are islands of order within the increasingly disordered Universe. All organized systems are subject to physical, biological, or cultural evolution, which together comprise the grander interdisciplinary subject of cosmic evolution.

Characterizing Magnetic Properties of Young Protostars in Orion

The Astrophysical Journal
The B -field Orion Protostellar Survey (BOPS) recently obtained polarimetric observations at 870 μ m toward 61 protostars in the Orion molecular clouds with ∼1″ spatial resolution using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array.

Episodic accretion, protostellar radiative feedback, and their role in low-mass star formation

, 2012
Protostars grow in mass by accreting material through their discs, and this accretion is initially their main source of luminosity. The resulting radiative feedback heats the environments of young protostars, and may thereby suppress further ...

High-resolution simulations of clump-clump collisions using SPH with Particle Splitting [PDF]

, 2007
We investigate, by means of numerical simulations, the phenomenology of star formation triggered by low-velocity collisions between low-mass molecular clumps. The simulations are performed using an SPH code which satisfies the Jeans condition by invoking

Formation of Methanol via Fischer‐Tropsch Catalysis by Cosmic Iron Sulphide

ChemPhysChem, Volume 25, Issue 17, September 2, 2024.
Periodic quantum mechanical simulations evidence the potentiality to synthesise methanol through a Fischer‐Tropsch mechanism in different astrophysical environments facilitated by the catalytic properties of cosmic FeS grains, which are enhanced by the presence of naturally‐occurring point surface defects.

Anomalous Microwave Emission from Star Forming Regions

Advances in Astronomy, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
The evidence for microwave emission from spinning dust grains has been strengthened considerably by its detection in a number of discrete astrophysical objects associated with star formation. These detections, in combination with statistical constraints on its presence on large angular scales in the diffuse ISM, have provided strong observational ...

Miller and Urey in the Universe: detecting prebiotic molecules in star-forming regions

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física
Astronomical observations have revealed that the simple molecules used in the Miller and Urey experiments (H2O, CH4, NH3, and H2), along with methanol, carbon monoxide, and carbon dioxide, among many others, are abundant in solid form in molecular clouds

Constraining the abundances of complex organics in the inner regions of solar-type protostars [PDF]

, 2015
The high abundances of Complex Organic Molecules (COMs) with respect to methanol, the most abundant COM, detected towards low-mass protostars, tend to be underpredicted by astrochemical models.

Sulforaphane and ophthalmic diseases

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 12, Issue 8, Page 5296-5311, August 2024.
Sulforaphane (SFN) is an organosulfur compound categorized as an isothiocyanate (ITC), primarily extracted from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cabbage. This review comprehensively outlines recent research on SFN, elucidates its mechanisms of action, and discusses potential therapeutic benefits for eye disorders such as age‐related macular ...
