Mass-feeding of jet-launching white dwarfs in grazing and common envelope evolution
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsI propose a scenario that allows white dwarfs (WDs) to launch relatively powerful jets when they enter a common envelope evolution (CEE) or experience a grazing envelope evolution (GEE) with a red giant branch star (RGB) or an asymptotic giant branch ...

Fungal DNA‐barcoding on a chip: Magnetoresistive biosensors for yeast infection diagnosis
VIEW, EarlyView.The development of a fungal pathogen identification chip is herein demonstrated. Hybridization dynamics were tested against 58 species in silico and 4 species on chip. 95% accuracy, 91% sensitivity, 98% specificity and femtomolar limit of detection were achieved. Future perspectives include the integration of sample pre‐treatment modules.

Finding the unusual red giant remnants of cataclysmic variable mergers
The Open Journal of AstrophysicsMergers between helium white dwarfs and main-sequence stars are likely common, producing red giant-like remnants making up roughly a few percent of all low-mass ($\lesssim2M_\odot$) red giants.

Feline inferior tricholemmoma: Histological and immunohistochemical characterisation
Veterinary Record Case Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Feline inferior tricholemmoma is a benign hair follicular tumour with minimal outer root sheath differentiation. The diagnosis is rarely suggested clinically, and this may contribute to frequent underrecognition by the histopathologist. A spayed female Munchkin cat exhibited a subcutaneous growth of a mass, 1.7 cm in diameter, located on the ...

Asteroseismology with TESS: Emergence of Dipole Mode Suppression from Subgiants?
The Astrophysical JournalDipole mode suppression is an observed behavior of solar-like oscillations in evolved stars. This study aims to search for depressed dipole modes in giant stars using data from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and investigate when the ...

The Sky's the Limit? SkyKick v Sky and Speculative Trade Mark Registration
The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.Trade marks are registered for specific products, which defines the scope of their exclusive legal monopoly. To benefit from a broad scope, applicants increasingly overclaim. They apply for categories of products with no intention to use the mark on them in trade.

A Comparative Study between M30 and M92: M92 is a Merger Remnant with a Large Helium Enhancement
The Astrophysical JournalWe perform a comparative study of the ex situ second-parameter pair globular clusters (GCs) M30 and M92, having similar metallicities but different horizontal branch morphologies.
