Lessons from the Auriga discs: The hunt for the Milky Way's ex-situ disc is not yet over [PDF]
We characterize the contribution from accreted material to the galactic discs of the Auriga Project, a set of high resolution magnetohydrodynamic cosmological simulations of late-type galaxies performed with the moving-mesh code AREPO. Our goal is to explore whether a significant accreted (or ex-situ) stellar component in the Milky Way disc could be ...

In-Situ Single Particle Reconstruction Reveals 3D Evolution of PtNi Nanocatalysts During Heating [PDF]
Tailoring nanoparticles composition and morphology is of particular interest for improving their performance for catalysis. A challenge of this approach is that the nanoparticles optimized initial structure often changes during use. Visualizing the three dimensional (3D) structural transformation in situ is therefore critical, but often prohibitively ...

In Situ Measurements of Interstellar Dust [PDF]
We present the mass distribution of interstellar grains measured in situ by the Galileo and Ulysses spaceprobes as cumulative flux. The derived in situ mass distribution per logarithmic size interval is compared to the distribution determined by fitting extinction measurements.

The Origin, Evolution and Development of Bilateral Symmetry in Multicellular Organisms [PDF]
A computational theory and model of the ontogeny and development of bilateral symmetry in multicellular organisms is presented. Understanding the origin and evolution of bilateral organisms requires an understanding of how bilateral symmetry develops, starting from a single cell.

Three-dimensional flow in Kupffer's Vesicle [PDF]
Whilst many vertebrates appear externally left-right symmetric, the arrangement of internal organs is asymmetric. In zebrafish, the breaking of left-right symmetry is organised by Kupffer's Vesicle (KV): an approximately spherical, fluid-filled structure that begins to form in the embryo 10 hours post fertilisation.

Minority Report: A Graph Network Oracle for In Situ Visualization [PDF]
In situ visualization techniques are hampered by a lack of foresight: crucial simulation phenomena can be missed due to a poor sampling rate or insufficient detail at critical timesteps. Keeping a human in the loop is impractical, and defining statistical triggers can be difficult.

Superconducting MgB2 thin films by pulsed laser deposition [PDF]
Growth of MgB2 thin films by pulsed laser deposition is examined under ex situ and in situ processing conditions. For the ex situ process, Boron films grown by PLD were annealed at 900 C with excess Mg. For the in situ process, different approaches involving ablation from a stoichiometric target under different growth conditions, as well as multilayer ...

Development of Nb-GaAs based superconductor semiconductor hybrid platform by combining in-situ dc magnetron sputtering and molecular beam epitaxy [PDF]
We present Nb thin films deposited in-situ on GaAs by combining molecular beam epitaxy and magnetron sputtering within an ultra-high vacuum cluster. Nb films deposited at varying power, and a reference film from a commercial system, are compared. The results show clear variation between the in-situ and ex-situ deposition which we relate to differences ...

In situ and non situ surface x-ray scattering studies of in plane Cs+ ordering in Helmholtz planes of Pt(111) surface [PDF]
In-plane ordering of Cs+ layers in Helmhotlz planes was studied on Pt(111) surface in 0.1 M CsF electrolyte solutions with synchtrotron surface x-ray scattering techniques. The ordering was measured in a new transmission cell, designed for in situ and non situ measurements and high-temperature sample annealing all in the cell without sample transfer ...

Unraveling Diffusion in Fusion Plasma: A Case Study of In Situ Processing and Particle Sorting [PDF]
This work starts an in situ processing capability to study a certain diffusion process in magnetic confinement fusion. This diffusion process involves plasma particles that are likely to escape confinement. Such particles carry a significant amount of energy from the burning plasma inside the tokamak to the diverter and damaging the diverter plate ...
