Investigating a possible spectral signature of the Wind-ISM interaction region of Alpha Tau

, 2003
Ultraviolet spectra from the GHRS instrument on board the Hubble Space Telescope reveal the presence of a mysterious absorption feature in the Mg II h & k lines of the nearby (d = 20.0 pc) K5 III star #11; Tau.

Diversified Composite Prompting to Enhance Generalisation of Vision‐Language Models

CAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, prompt learning has shown promise in transferring pretrained vision‐language models (VLMs) to downstream tasks. However, existing methods face two challenges in improving generalisation: (1) When leveraging the collaborative effect of multimodal prompts, it is often assumed that text and visual modalities share the same prompt

Assessing the Presence, Pattern, and Environmental Correlates of Seasonal Skin Thickening in Anurans

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Histological sections, like that of the ventral pectoral skin of Lithobates pipiens, were measured to assess variation in skin thickness throughout the year in three North American anuran species. After correcting for individual body size, we test whether skin thickness changes throughout the year and which factors (environment or life history) explain

A turbulent wake as a tracer of 30,000 years of Mira’s mass loss history [PDF]

, 2007
Mira is one of the first variable stars ever discovered and it is the prototype (and also the nearest example) of a class of low-to-intermediate-mass stars in the late stages of stellar evolution. These stars are relatively common and they return a large

Fish welfare in a changing world: New developments and current challenges

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract The welfare of non‐human animals is central to ethical discussions on animal use, with increasing attention to fish welfare across research, aquaria, aquaculture, and fisheries. This paper reviews current theoretical approaches to animal welfare and recent advances in defining and assessing fish welfare since the seminal paper by Huntingford ...

Kant's Metaphysics of Race, Its Distinctiveness, and Its Normativity

Journal of Social Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on the contemporary taxonomy of the metaphysics of race, this paper shows that Kant's theory of race occupies a distinct metaphysical position on race. Second, it argues that Kant's metaphysics of race inherently produces racist claims.

Rest-frame ultraviolet spectrum of the gravitationally lensed galaxy ``the 8 o'clock arc'': stellar and interstellar medium properties

, 2010
We present the first detailed analysis of the rest-frame ultraviolet spectrum of the gravitationally lensed Lyman break galaxy (LBG), the “8 o'clock arc”, obtained with the intermediate-resolution X-shooter spectrograph recently commissioned ...
