When Super (Wo)man Fails to Appear: Beyond Idealized Prototypes in Crisis Leadership
ABSTRACT Crisis leadership has been a topic of interest for nearly a century. Recent works present an idealized, gendered template for such leadership by casting men as masculine protectors or superheroes and women as feminine nurturers or selfless, relational superwomen.

Image Simulations for Strong and Weak Gravitational Lensing [PDF]
Gravitational lensing has been identified as a powerful tool to address fundamental problems in astrophysics at different scales, ranging from exoplanet identification to dark energy and dark matter characterization in cosmology. Image simulations have played a fundamental role in the realization of the full potential of gravitational lensing by ...

GLASS: Generator for Large Scale Structure
We present GLASS, the Generator for Large Scale Structure, a new code for the simulation of galaxy surveys for cosmology, which iteratively builds a light cone with matter, galaxies, and weak gravitational lensing signals as a sequence of nested shells ...

Bloom compression alongside marine heatwaves contemporary with the Oregon upwelling season
Abstract Marine heatwave (MHW) events have led to acute decreases in primary production and phytoplankton biomass in the surface ocean, particularly at the mid latitudes. In the Northeast Pacific, these anomalous events have occasionally encroached onto the Oregon shelf during the ecologically important summer upwelling season.

In this manuscript, we provide a comprehensive study of gravitational lensing by dark compact objects predicted by modified gravity (MOG) based on the scalar–vector–tensor action, with the aim of providing new insights into the nature of gravitational ...

ABSTRACT The emergence of cooperation in natural selection has been successfully studied using game theory and, despite the underlying selfish nature of the evolutionary process, a spectrum of plausible mechanisms have been proposed to determine the conditions under which cooperative behaviour is likely to occur.

Weak Gravitational Lensing—The Need for Surveys [PDF]
Light rays from distant sources are deflected if they pass near an intervening matter inhomogeneity. This gravitational lens effect is responsible for the well-established lens systems like multiple-imaged QSOs, (radio) ‘Einstein’ rings, the giant luminous arcs in clusters of galaxies, and the flux variations of stars in the LMC and the Galactic bulge ...

Racket sociality: investigating intimidation in North India
This article is an ethnographic investigation into acts of intimidation and threats. Theoretically, it dialogues with ‘racket’ – a key analytical term in the sociology of domination, state‐making, and mafias. The anthropology of power, violence, and crime has paid scant attention to the morphology of threats and the ways interpersonal intimidation ...
