AGB and post-AGB stars

, 2005
Intermediate mass stars (1-8 solar masses) evolve along the Asymptotic Giant Branch after completion of hydrogen and helium core burning. At the tip they lose for several ten to hundred thousand years copious amounts of mass and exhibit various forms of variability, as for example large-amplitude variations with periods of one to five years.

Climate Warming Will Reduce Boreal Forest Litterfall, but the Response Differs Among Plant Functional Types

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
We synthesized boreal litterfall data from published studies and applied generalized additive models to examine how stand age‐ and temperature‐related litterfall dynamics varies across plant functional types, and to project future trends under climate change.

Stellar Evolution and Nucleosynthesis of Post-AGB Stars [PDF]

, 2001
I discuss recent new models of post-Asymptotic Giant Branch stellar evolution. These models aim to clarify the evolutionary origin and status of a variety of hydrogen-deficient post-AGB stars such as central stars of planetary nebulae of Wolf-Rayet spectral type, PG1159 stars or Sakurai's object.

Impacts of Industrial Crop Production by Smallholders on Household Food Security in Ghana: Evidence From the Oil Palm Sector

Plant-Environment Interactions, Volume 7, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT An increase in industrial crop production has important implications for food security, the environment and rural development in major growing areas of the world. This study assessed the impact of smallholder industrial crop production on the food security of agricultural households.

Mass loss in AGB stars: the role of dust and pulsation

, 2023
openLa tesi esplora i meccanismi fisici alla base dei venti stellari nelle stelle AGB evolute e i relativi effetti sul tasso di perdita di massa. In particolare, lo studio si focalizza sul ruolo dei grani di polvere la cui formazione avviene negli estesi

Shaping the Outflows of Binary AGB Stars

, 2015
The required conditions for stars to evolve into planetary nebulae (PNe) continue to puzzle. Since PNe are found in a wide variety of shapes, processes that could sculpt circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) are being investigated.

A Comprehensive Review of Waste‐Derived Materials for Solar Still Performance Enhancement

Advanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 9, 5 May 2026.
Solar desalination reduces energy use and produces freshwater sustainably, but its productivity is limited and cannot meet rising demand. Thus, solar desalination system improvements are sought to boost water productivity. Waste materials are abundantly available and burden the environment, making them low‐cost enhancers for solar desalination systems.

Photometric and Polarimetric Observations of AGB and Post AGB Stars [PDF]

Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003
Photometric and polarimetric observations of Long-Period Variables (LPVs), carried out at Byurakan Observatory over the last few years, have yielded some interesting results. In particular, one of the important results obtained for Mira type variables is that there is a certain correlation between brightness and polarization: the maximum degree of ...

Optimal Grazing Exclusion Duration to Enhance Soil Carbon Sequestration in Degraded Grasslands

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 29, 22 May 2026.
Across China, grazing exclusion reaches the national mean soil organic carbon recovery benchmark sooner in high‐MAP regions (> 500 mm), but recovery is much slower where MAP < 300 mm. Scaling this strategy to 70% of China's degraded grasslands would sequester about 1.52 Pg of soil carbon over 10 years—roughly 17% of annual global fossil‐fuel emissions.
