The collective origin of spiral structures in disk galaxies

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
After almost fifty years the origin of spiral arms in disk galaxies remains one of the major unsolved problems in astrophysics. Recent attempts have indicated that substructures in the dark matter halos of galaxies could induce spiral patterns in disks ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Gravitational Instability of Gas–Dust Circumnuclear Disks in Galaxies

Galaxies, 2023
We numerically study the origin of the multi-armed spiral structure observed in the circumnuclear gaseous mini-disks of nearby galaxies. We show that the presence of dust in such disks and its interaction with the gravitationally stable gaseous component

Collisionless Shocks: Contemporary State After Three Quarters of a Century of Research

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract The collisionless shock research started in the late 1950s. Since then, plenty of data have been accumulated due to the large number of missions in the heliosphere, providing in situ measurements of the fields and particles. The quality of these measurements has vastly improved, especially in the last two decades.

Dark Matter in Spiral Galaxies [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1995
In this review I will concentrate on three questions concerning the issue of dark matter in spiral galaxies. In the first place (and for the most part) I will discuss the analysis of rotation curves and the question whether the “maximum–disk hypothesis” is valid.

The SVP–FRO6 Module Integrates the Control of Leaf Senescence and Flowering in Arabidopsis

Plant, Cell &Environment, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 7191-7209, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Plants coordinate major developmental transitions by integrating intrinsic genetic programs with environmental signals, where nutrient availability serves as a critical external factor shaping growth and fitness. Iron (Fe), an essential micronutrient for cellular respiration and photosynthesis, is strictly regulated through sophisticated ...

Towards an Algorithmic Guide to Spiral Galaxies [PDF]

Theoretical Computer Science, 2014
In this paper, we are interested in the one-player game Spiral Galaxies, and study it from an algorithmic viewpoint. Spiral Galaxies has been shown to be NP-hard [Friedman, 2002] more than a decade ago, but so far it seems that no one has dared exploring its algorithmic universe. We take this trip and visit some of its corners.

Rethinking Climate Change on the Role of Human Power Generation, Alternative Perspectives, Potential Solutions, and a Plea for Action

Chemie Ingenieur Technik, Volume 98, Issue 8, Page 514-524, August 2026.
All energy matters Let us broaden the discussion on solutions to climate change. Greenhouse gases have upset the delicate equilibrium of the Earth's energy balance. Consequently, all sources of heat affect the temperature of the Earth. Although the amount of additional heat generated by humans is a fraction of that produced by the sun, it is generated ...
