Constraining the Quenching Mechanisms in Galaxies

, 2022
A number of theoretical mechanisms have been invoked to explain the transformation of star forming galaxies into quenched galaxies, such as the removal of gas by active galactic nuclei- (AGN) and star formation-driven galactic outflows, and the heating of the galaxy halo and subsequent halting of gas accretion caused by virial shocks and preventative ...

Automation and Augmentation in Theological Perspective

Modern Theology, EarlyView.
Abstract AI enables forms of automation that threaten unemployment and deskilling, eliminating important opportunities for the development of virtue. The concomitant loss of virtue and meaningful employment makes it a theological problem from the perspective of Catholic social teaching and theological anthropology.

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 ...

ELVES-Field: Isolated Dwarf Galaxy Quenched Fractions Rise below M∗ ≈ 107 M⊙

The Astrophysical Journal Letters
We use a new sample of low-mass ( M _*   10 ^9 M _⊙ . We find that, at higher dwarf masses ( M _⋆  ≳ 10 ^7 M _⊙ ), essentially all field dwarfs are star forming as has been found before. In contrast, at M _⋆  ≲ 10 ^7 M _⊙ , ∼30% of field dwarfs appear to

Doomsday or Multiverse Bias

Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bayesian epistemology faces serious challenges when dealing with self‐locating evidence. This paper argues that, given two modest assumptions about how confirmation should work (Patterning and Live Centers), Bayesianism faces an unavoidable dilemma.

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 ...

Effectiveness of Virtual Reality for Pain Relief in Procedures Related to Obstetrics and Gynaecology: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Randomised Controlled Trials

BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics &Gynaecology, Volume 133, Issue 7, Page 1358-1372, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Immersive virtual reality (VR) technology offers a non‐invasive, non‐pharmacological approach to reduce pain perception in patients undergoing diagnostic or interventional procedures. Objective To systematically evaluate the efficacy of immersive VR technology in reducing pain perception during obstetric and gynaecological ...

On the interdependence of galaxy morphology, star formation, and environment in massive galaxies in the nearby Universe

, 2017
Using multi-wavelength data, from UV-optical-near-mid IR, for $\sim$6000 galaxies in the local Universe, we study the dependence of star formation on the morphological T-types for massive galaxies ($\log M_*/M_\odot \geq 10$).

Controlling 3D Contractility via Engineered Fibrous Hydrogel Composites

Advanced Functional Materials, Volume 36, Issue 36, 4 May 2026.
A tunable composite contractile assembly (CCA) is developed that can permit or resist contraction without changing cell‐adhesion and density, unlike collagen whose inherent coupling of these ECM cues limits its use as a platform in contractility studies.
