Measurements of pernitric acid at the South Pole during ISCAT 2000 [PDF]
The first measurements of pernitric acid at the South Pole were performed during the second Investigation of Sulfur Chemistry in the Antarctic Troposphere (ISCAT 2000). Observed HO2NO2 concentrations averaged 25 pptv.

A chemical probe technique for the determination of reactive halogen species in aqueous solution: Part 1 – bromide solutions [PDF]
Reactive halogen species (X*=X•, •X2-, X2 and HOX, where X=Br, Cl, or I) in seawater, sea-salt particles, and snowpacks play important roles in the chemistry of the marine boundary layer.

Disentangling the chemistry and transport impacts of the quasi-biennial oscillation on stratospheric ozone [PDF]
The quasi-biennial oscillation (QBO) in tropical winds perturbs stratospheric ozone throughout much of the atmosphere via changes in transport of ozone and other trace gases, as well as via temperature changes, both of which alter ozone chemistry ...

Spatial distribution of small hydrocarbons in the neighborhood of the Ultra Compact HII region Monoceros R2 [PDF]
We study the chemistry of small hydrocarbons in the photon-dominated regions (PDRs) associated with the ultra-compact HII region Mon R2. Our goal is to determine the variations of the abundance of small hydrocarbons in a high-UV irradiated PDR and ...

Modelling the effects of the October 1989 solar proton event on mesospheric odd nitrogen using a detailed ion and neutral chemistry model [PDF]
Solar proton events and electron precipitation affect the concentrations of middle atmospheric constituents. Ionization caused by precipitating particles enhances the production of important minor neutral constituents, such as nitric oxide ...

Hydroxyl radical in/on illuminated polar snow: formation rates, lifetimes, and steady-state concentrations [PDF]
While the hydroxyl radical (•OH) in the snowpack is likely a dominant oxidant for organic species and bromide, little is known about the kinetics or steady-state concentrations of •OH on/in snow and ice.

Circular Stochastic Fluctuations in SIS Epidemics with Heterogeneous Contacts Among Sub-populations
The conceptual difference between equilibrium and non-equilibrium steady state (NESS) is well established in physics and chemistry. This distinction, however, is not widely appreciated in dynamical descriptions of biological populations in terms of ...

Stability of racemic and chiral steady states in open and closed chemical systems
The stability properties of models of spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking in chemistry are characterized algebraically. The models considered here all derive either from the Frank model or from autocatalysis with limited enantioselectivity.
