Patterns of wild meat and other protein consumption in the periphery of Salonga National Park, Democratic Republic of the Congo

People and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract In Central Africa, human activities are severely impacting terrestrial and aquatic wildlife, threatening the food security of millions of people. Accordingly, sustainable use of wildlife is crucial for the nutrition and livelihoods of many rural communities in the region.

Mind and Cosmos as Throughput Systems: A Convergence Through the Throughput Model

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper advances a conceptual and mathematical foundations approach by applying the throughput model (TPM) to cosmic phenomena, reframing the universe as an extended information processing system. TPM's four stages, Perception, Information, Judgement and Decision Choice, are reformulated in explicit information‐theoretic and dynamical ...

SDSS-IV MaNGA: faint quenched galaxies – I. Sample selection and evidence for environmental quenching [PDF]

Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2016
Using kinematic maps from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Mapping Nearby Galaxies at Apache Point Observatory (MaNGA) survey, we reveal that the majority of low-mass quenched galaxies exhibit coherent rotation in their stellar kinematics. Our sample includes all 39 quenched low-mass galaxies observed in the first year of MaNGA.

The Distribution of Quenched Galaxies in the Massive z = 0.87 Galaxy Cluster El Gordo

The Astrophysical Journal
El Gordo (ACT-CL J0102−4915) is a massive galaxy cluster with two major mass components at redshift z = 0.87. Using spectral energy distribution fitting results from JWST/NIRCam photometry, the fraction of quenched galaxies in this cluster was measured ...

NeutralUniverseMachine: An Empirical Model for the Evolution of H i and H2 Gas in the Universe

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
Accurately modeling the cold gas content in the universe is challenging for current theoretical models. We propose a new empirical model NeutralUniverseMachine for the evolution of H i and H _2 gas along with dark matter halos based on the ...

An Objective Definition for the Main Sequence of Star-Forming Galaxies

, 2015
The Main Sequence (MS) of star-forming galaxies plays a fundamental role in driving galaxy evolution and in our efforts to understand it. However, different studies find significant differences in the normalization, slope and shape of the MS.

‘A Sort of Armed Argument’: Ireland's Civil War of Words

History, EarlyView.
Abstract This article sets out to contribute to the study of the languages of European civil wars through outlining and analysing the deployment of language as a weapon by the opposing sides of the Irish independence movement that split over the terms of the Anglo‐Irish Treaty of December 1921.

Machine Learning Classification of COSMOS2020 Galaxies: Quiescent versus Star-forming

The Astrophysical Journal
Accurately distinguishing between quiescent and star-forming galaxies is essential for understanding galaxy evolution. Traditional methods, such as spectral energy distribution (SED) fitting, can be computationally expensive and may struggle to capture ...

The SAGA Survey: I. Satellite Galaxy Populations Around Eight Milky Way Analogs

, 2017
We present the survey strategy and early results of the "Satellites Around Galactic Analogs" (SAGA) Survey. The SAGA Survey's goal is to measure the distribution of satellite galaxies around 100 systems analogous to the Milky Way down to the luminosity ...

Out There No One Has a Right to Die

Bioethics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The eventual goal of space exploration is to colonize exoplanets and their moons outside our solar system. This is a dangerous and immoral endeavour. The extraterrestrial life forms encountered would be hostile, vulnerable or both, and the descendants of the original pioneers would be involuntarily exposed to hazardous conditions and ...
