The Highest-redshift Balmer Breaks as a Test of ΛCDM
The Astrophysical JournalRecent studies have reported tension between the presence of luminous, high-redshift galaxies and the halo mass functions predicted by standard cosmology.

The puzzle of isolated and quenched dwarf galaxies in cosmic voids [PDF]
We report, for the first time, the detection of a sample of quenched and isolated dwarf galaxies (with 8.9 < log(M∗/MO) < 9.5) in the least dense regions of the cosmic web, including voids, filaments, and walls.

Nature's Complexity Alive: Farewell to Several Unificatory Cosmological Arguments for Monism
Noûs, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Throughout history, numerous thinkers have claimed that monism—in the form of priority monism, existence monism, monotheistic monism, or versions that posit an extra‐cosmic ultimate being—theoretically surpasses pluralism, above all by positing a unified universe.

On the Signature of Black Holes on the Quenched Stellar Mass Function
The Astrophysical JournalAs star-forming galaxies approach or exceed a stellar mass of around 10 ^11 M _⊙ , they are increasingly likely to be quenched in a process generically called mass quenching.

The SVP–FRO6 Module Integrates the Control of Leaf Senescence and Flowering in Arabidopsis
Plant, Cell &Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Plants coordinate major developmental transitions by integrating intrinsic genetic programs with environmental signals, where nutrient availability serves as a critical external factor shaping growth and fitness. Iron (Fe), an essential micronutrient for cellular respiration and photosynthesis, is strictly regulated through sophisticated ...

Simulations All the Way Up! An Atheist's Response to the Fine‐Tuning Argument
Analytic Philosophy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT So the Fine‐tuning Argument goes, because it is so unlikely for the physical constants of the laws of nature to have taken the values that they in fact take, we should significantly raise our credence that God exists. Simulation Arguments argue that our world might be (or, in stronger versions, that it probably is) a mere computer simulation ...

Utopia Remembers: The Soviet Past in the Imagined Communist Future
The Russian Review, EarlyView.Abstract After a twenty‐five‐year hiatus, the reappearance of utopian literature in 1957 prompted Soviet literary watchdogs to corral the subgenre into an ideologically‐acceptable mold. A key requirement was for future generations to be depicted as reverently commemorating the past.

The Astrophysical JournalRecent observations at low redshift have revealed that some post-starburst galaxies retain significant molecular gas reservoirs despite low ongoing star formation rates, challenging most theoretical predictions that rely on heating or expelling gas ...

Ageing and Quenching through the ageing diagram II: physical characterization of galaxies
, 2023 The connection between quenching mechanisms, which rapidly turn star-forming systems into quiescent, and the properties of the galaxy population remains difficult to discern.

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 ...
