Coronal radiation of a cusp of spun-up stars and the X-ray luminosity of Sgr A*
Chandra has detected optically thin, thermal X-ray emission with a size of ~1 arcsec and luminosity ~10^33 erg/s from the direction of the Galactic supermassive black hole (SMBH), Sgr A*.

How do galaxies acquire their mass? [PDF]
We introduce a toy model that describes (in a single equation) the mass in stars as a function of halo mass and redshift. Our model includes the suppression of gas accretion from gravitational shock heating and AGN jets mainly for M_halo > M_shock ~ 10 ...

ABSTRACT Plants respond to rapid environmental change in ways that depend on both their genetic identity and their phenotypic plasticity, impacting their survival as well as associated ecosystems. However, genetic and environmental effects on phenotype are difficult to quantify across large spatial scales and through time.

Re‐evaluation of pullulan (E 1204) as a food additive and new application for its extension of use
Abstract The present opinion deals with the re‐evaluation of pullulan (E 1204) when used as a food additive and with the new application on the extension of use to several food categories. Pullulan (E 1204) is obtained by fermentation of a food‐grade hydrolysed starch with non‐genetically modified Aureobasidium pullulans ■■■■■.

Biomechanical mechanisms underlying exosuit-induced improvements in walking economy after stroke [PDF]
Stroke-induced hemiparetic gait is characteristically asymmetric and metabolically expensive. Weakness and impaired control of the paretic ankle contribute to reduced forward propulsion and ground clearance—walking subtasks critical for safe and ...

Binary synthesis: Goethe's aesthetic intuition in literature and science [PDF]
Argument This essay seeks to identify the cultural significance of Goethe's scientific writings. He reformulates, in the light of his own concrete experience, “crucial turning-points” (Hauptmomente) in the history of science – key ideas, the ...
