Observations of H2 line emission have revealed higher-than-expected gas temperatures in a number of photodissociation fronts. We discuss the heating and cooling processes in photodissociation regions. Observations of NGC 2023 are compared to a theoretical model in which there is substantial gas at temperatures T = 500− 1000K heated by photoelectric emission and collisional deexcitation of H2. I...

Goals include the development of models and methods that explain observed material and acoustic properties of different physical types of shallow-ocean mud sediments. Other goals are to assess prior data relating to the acoustic properties of mud and to provide guidance in the development and interpretation of experiments. A related goal is to construct models that will guide inversion techniqu...

Available options for Alzheimer's disease are used only for symptomatic improvement, but disease-modifying therapies may help triple annual medication sales by 2023.

Covalent triazine frameworks were designed as metal-free and recyclable photocatalysts for visible-light-driven switchable selective oxidation of styrene into benzaldehyde or oxide. As reported by Kai A. I. Zhang co-workers in their Research Article (e202216159), the product formation selectivity was achieved activation deactivation specific photogenerated oxygen species pure water.

This paper sketches the early history of pituitary apoplexy, a disorder later fully described in 1950 by Brougham, Heusner and Adams. Haemorrhage or necrosis in an adenoma causes a characteristic sudden drowsiness, stupor or coma, headache and stiff neck, ocular palsy, and impaired acuity with visual field loss owing to optic nerve or chiasmal compression. The associated endocrinopathy and mana...

Abstract The slight slowdown of consumer price inflation in Germany November does not yet constitute the beginning lower rates. Even though energy prices are dragging inflation, producer have drastically increased past year. Our estimates indicate that rates will remain close to current levels until end 2023 and decrease only 2024. Given fragile economic situation, restrictive monetary policy i...
