Abstract Antlers are the most conspicuous trait of cervids and have been used in the past to establish a classification of their fossil and living representatives. Since the availability of molecular data, morphological characters have generally become less important for phylogenetic reconstructions.

Magnetic and non-magnetic AGB mixing for s-processing [PDF]
I outline a few features of recent models for the formation of the neutron source 13C(α,n)16O in low mass stars (1 ≲ M/M⊙ ≲ 3, LMS ) ascendingfor the second time the Red Giant Branch, generally called Asymptotic Giant Branch, or AGB stars. I also briefly

Dynamical Substructures of Galactic Globular Clusters I. M5 [PDF]
CCD images to study the dynamical substructure of the globular cluster M5. We investigate the radial variation of ellipticities and position angles using the stellar photometry and the IRAF ellipse task.

On the lithium abundance of the visual binary components ξ Boo A (G8V) and ξ Boo B (K5V)
Abstract A spectroscopic investigation of the lithium resonance doublet in ξ Boo A and ξ Boo B in terms of both abundance and isotopic ratio is presented. We obtained new R = 130,000 spectra with a signal‐to‐noise ratio (S/N) per pixel of up to 3200 using the 11.8 m LBT and PEPSI.

Abstract The advent of ultra‐precise photometry space missions enables the possibility of investigating stellar interiors with mixed modes. The structural variations induced by the discontinuity of the chemical composition left behind during the first dredge–up is an important feature in the stellar mid‐layers located between the hydrogen‐burning shell

Quantifying Uncertainties on the Tip of the Red Giant Branch Method
We present an extensive grid of numerical simulations quantifying the uncertainties in measurements of the tip of the red giant branch (TRGB). These simulations incorporate a luminosity function composed of 2 mag of red giant branch (RGB) stars leading ...

Molecular testing of soft tissue tumors
Abstract Background The diagnosis of soft tissue tumors is challenging, especially when the evaluable material procured is limited. As a result, diagnostic ancillary testing is frequently needed. Moreover, there is a trend in soft tissue pathology toward increasing use of molecular results for tumor classification and prognostication. Hence, diagnosing

Giant Planet Engulfment by Evolved Giant Stars: Light Curves, Asteroseismology, and Survivability
About ten percent of Sun-like (1–2 M _⊙ ) stars will engulf a 1–10 M _J planet as they expand during the red giant branch (RGB) or asymptotic giant branch (AGB) phase of their evolution.

Eph and ephrin signaling in the development of the central auditory system
Abstract Acoustic communication relies crucially on accurate interpretation of information about the intensity, frequency, timing, and location of diverse sound stimuli in the environment. To meet this demand, neurons along different levels of the auditory system form precisely organized neural circuits.
