termasuk ke dalam penyebab pertama kematian pada pria dan menjadi penyebab kedua kematian pada wanita. Salah satu cara untuk mengurangi tingkat kematian karena kanker paru-paru adalah dengan melakukan deteksi dini, yakni dengan klasifikasi. Proses mengidentifikasi dan mengelompokkan objek dengan ciri atau karakteristik yang sama ke dalam beberapa kelas yang telah ditentukan disebut dengan klasifikasi. Beberapa algoritma yang banyak digunakan dalam proses klasifikasi adalah Support Vector Machine (SVM) dan K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). SVM memiliki kelebihan, yakni mampu mengidentifikasi hyperplane secara terpisah sehingga memaksimalkan margin antara dua kelas atau lebih yang berbeda, tetapi sulit digunakan dalam data yang berukuran besar, sedangkan KNN dapat melakukan pemisahan data yang berskala besar dan tangguh terhadap noise pada data. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membangun model dengan menggunakan algoritma SVM dan KNN pada klasifikasi penyakit kanker paru-paru. Dataset penyakit kanker paru-paru memiliki jumlah data sebanyak 309 data dimana data dibagi dengan menggunakan metode percentage split dan k-fold cross validation pada masing-masing algoritma yang digunakan. Parameter yang digunakan dalam mengevaluasi model adalah akurasi, presisi, dan recall. Dari penelitian yang dilakukan, nilai akurasi, presisi, dan recall tertinggi diperoleh pada algoritma SVM metode percentage split dengan nilai secara berturut-turut, yakni 95,16%, 88%, dan 82,5%. Hal tersebut mengindikasikan bahwa algoritma SVM dengan metode percentage split memiliki performa yang lebih baik dalam melakukan klasifikasi penyakit kanker paru-paru dibandingkan algoritma dan metode lainnya

В настоящее время наблюдается увеличение численности старшей возрастной группы, и это определяет возникновение новых вопросов, связанных с возраст-ассоциированными заболеваниями. Выявлена прямая связь между частотой жалоб на изменение когнитивной активности и началом нарушения менструальной функции, т. е. старением репродуктивной системы, что, в свою очередь, приводит к снижению уровня половых гормонов. Определяется зависимость между соотношением эстрогенов, прогестерона, андрогенов и когнитивной активностью женщин. Современные теории «здоровых клеток» и «эуэстрогении» объясняют влияние дополнительных критериев, таких как отсутствие неврологических расстройств и длительность гипоэстрогении, на результат менопаузальной гормональной терапии (МГТ). Другие факторы, как например: состав гормональной терапии, дозы, методы введения, эндокринные заболевания, гинекологический анамнез, наследственность, оказывают дополнительное влияние на эффекты МГТ. Проведенные исследования отражают результаты влияния МГТ на предотвращение или уменьшение риска развития депрессии, нарушения сна и ментальных способностей. В работе отмечаются и результаты отрицательного или нейтрального влияния МГТ на женщин. Противоречивость данных исследований определяет необходимость продолжения научных поисков в этом направлении гинекологии.

There is an increase the number of the older age group and this determines the emergence of new issues related to age-associated diseases. Revealed a direct relationship with the onset of menstrual dysfunction, i.e. “aging” of the reproductive system, which in turn leads to a decrease in sex hormones. The relationship between the ratios of estrogens, progesterone, androgens and the cognitive activity of women is determined. Modern theories of “healthy cells” and “euestrogeny” explain the influence of additional criteria, such as theabsence of neurological disorders and the duration of hypoestrogenism on the outcome of menopausal hormone therapy, doses, methods of administration, endocrine diseases, gynecological hystory, heredity have an additional influence on the effects of MHT. The studies carried out reflect the results of the influence of MHT on preventing or reducing the risk of developing depression,sleep disturbance and mental abilities. Scientific work also notes the results of the negative or neutral influence of MHT on women. The inconsistency of these studies determines the need to continue scientific research in this area of gynecology.

Published: November 2023

En esta serie de Vídeos Didácticos Lingüísticos nos dirigimos a un amplio público de estudiantes de francés desde los niveles principiantes hasta los avanzados (A1-C1). Los contenidos de los vídeos se centran en distintas áreas de dificultad contrastiva en las que se constatan disimetrías fonéticas, gramaticales, léxicas o pragmáticas entre el francés y el español. En este vídeo, se propone a los aprendientes varios ejercicios en los que tienen que localizar los falsos amigos y justificar su respuesta, es decir, explicar por qué son falsos amigos.

El vídeo es idóneo para explicar el concepto de falso amigo (faux-ami), es decir, un término similar en español y en francés, ya sea porque tiene una ortografía o una pronunciación parecida, pero cuyo significado difiere entre ambas lenguas. Por ejemplo, el verbo salir en francés podría confundirse con el verbo español salir, puesto que se escriben igual. Ahora bien, el significado no es mismo entre las dos lenguas, ya que salir en francés quiere decir ‘ensuciar, manchar’.

Published: November 2023

This work is based on the materials of a comprehensive expedition to the northern part of Kunashir Island (Great Kuril Ridge), which took place in 2021. The key site is located at the foot of the southwestern slope of the highest Kunashir volcano Tyatya (1819 m) on the Pacific coast, and is a flat, slightly hilly forested plain composed of volcanic deposits. The site is characterized by a flat relief, which, in general, is not typical for Kunashir; in addition, it is composed of fairly young volcanic deposits. The key area is bounded on the west and east by the channels of the relatively large rivers Saratovskaya and Tyatina; on its territory from north to south, the shallow watercourses Banny and Kol flow. The site is located on the territory of the Kuril’sky State Nature Reserve and its protected zone. In the course of the research, data on descriptions of soil profiles, vegetation, and landscapes were collected and systematized. A total of 22 complex landscape descriptions and 54 descriptions of plant communities were made. In the process of compiling a preliminary scheme for the interpretation and office processing of the collected materials, ultra-high spatial resolution images from the Pleiades-1B satellite were used, the date of acquisition was September 27, 2019. Soil, geobotanical and landscape maps were compiled for an area of 15 km2. The scale of the created cartographic materials is 1:20 000. The study made it possible to obtain new data for large-scale thematic mapping and increase the degree of knowledge of the northern part of Kunashir. In particular, numerous hydromorphic complexes, which are not typical for the rest of the island, have been discovered and studied. It has been established that waterlogging significantly affects the conditions and nature of the formation of soil-vegetable complexes.

ABSTRACT Background: Cornual gestation is one of the most hazardous types of ectopic gestation. It carries a significant challenge and a greater maternal mortality risk than ampullary ectopic pregnancy. The diagnosis and treatment are challenging and frequently constitute a medical emergency. Traditionally, the treatment of cornual pregnancy has been hysterectomy or cornual resection at laparotomy. However endoscopic approach is a viable option and consists of conservative techniques such as laparoscopic cornual resection, laparoscopic cornuostomy, laparoscopic salpingectomy or hysteroscopic removal of interstitial ectopic tissue. Case presentation: We report a case of a 28-year-old multipara who had an unruptured left cornual ectopic gestation with moderate pelvic adhesions and concomitant partial intestinal obstruction. She was managed via laparoscopic adhesiolysis and left total salpingectomy. Conclusions: Cornual pregnancy occurs rarely, there is a need for early and prompt diagnosis to prevent potentially fatal complications.

Costus afer Ker Gawl is an indigenous plant, commonly called a ginger lily, spiral ginger, or bush cane, it has been reported to possess anti-inflammatory properties. The anti-inflammatory activity of C.afer leaf extract in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats was investigated. Protein denaturation and erythrocyte stabilization assays were used to evaluate in vitro anti-inflammatory activity, and alpha-amylase and alpha-glucosidase enzyme inhibition was used to evaluate in vitro anti-diabetic activity. 60 male Wistar rats were used for the two inflammatory models: the 30 rats were randomly assigned into six groups (n=5) for carrageenan-induced paw edema and cotton pellet granuloma models respectively: Group I: normal, group II: control(untreated), group III: 10mg/kg b.w diclofenac sodium (standard), group IV, V and VI were given 50, 100, 250 mg/kg b.w Costus afer ethanol leaf extract (CAELE) in each of the two models. The study showed that in protein denaturation assay, CAELE and Diclofenac had 56.69% and 80.82% respectively at the highest concentration, erythrocyte stabilization had 80.40% CAELE and 94.88% Diclofenac sodium at the highest dose in a dose-dependent manner. Alpha amylase and alpha-glucosidase showed an increase in percentage inhibition activity at 65.44% and 43.72% respectively against acarbose (standard) at 56.01%. However, in the cotton pellet-induced granuloma model, the concentration exhibited high percentage inhibition (77.82%) comparable to the standard drug at 91.28%, and reduction in paw thickness was also observed in the carrageenan model in a dose-dependent manner respectively. This study showed that CAELE at different concentrations showed anti-inflammatory activity in diabetic conditions.
GEOTHERMAL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES IN OIL AND GAS COMPANIES
Authors: Andwir Rizaldin , Setiawan Andri D.
Published: November 2023

Indonesia is a country that has the largest geothermal potential in the world because it is in the ring of fire. Indonesia's geothermal energy reserves are 29,4 GW. However, until 2022, geothermal installed capacity in Indonesia is only around 2,175 GW, which is still far from its true potential. Geothermal energy development is needed for Indonesia to empower sustainable energy systems, so as to achieve the target of 3,1 GW based on the 2017 RUEN. To achieve the RUEN target, better development is needed through the role of the oil and gas industry. Geothermal development is seen as a complex dynamic system, with complex challenges to achieve this goal. This paper aims to understand the complexities of geothermal energy development. For this purpose, this paper analyzes geothermal development with a holistic and systematic approach using the conceptual stage of the system dynamics approach. The conceptual model shows that there are many factors that underlie the development ofgeothermal energy in Indonesia.

Published: November 2023

Rain-control in the Shashe-Limpopo Confluence Area (SLCA) is one sphere in which hunter-gatherer and farmer interaction is archaeologically visible. One avenue of examining this interaction is through faunal analysis. This paper presents an updated taxa list for one of the identified rain-control sites in the SLCA – Ratho Kroonkop. By identifying the taxa accumulated at Ratho Kroonkop and contextualising them using radiocarbon dates and relevant ethnographies, we were able to determine that particular animals were significant to the people who utilised the location as a rain-control site. Additionally, we were able to establish that this significance continued from the K2 period (AD 1000-1220) to the historic period.

Authors:   ANO VO “International Institute of Management and Law”, Aleksanyan Garry M.
Published: November 2023

The article discusses the basic conditions and framework for establishing priorities for the intensification of technological development of meso-level subjects. Important objective conditions have been identified that predetermine the directions of intensification of technological development. The range of problems that arise during the implementation of engineering projects that need to be solved at the meso level of the Russian national economy is described. A decomposition of enlarged groups of problems for various categories of meso-level subjects of the national economy was carried out. The key reasons for slow technological development at the meso level are considered. It is shown that the main source of these problems is the insufficiently developed level of ownership management culture, and the reasons for this phenomenon are identified. The basic priorities for increasing the intensity of economic activity on the scale of meso-level entities have been identified. The conditions and framework for scientific justification of priority directions for intensifying the technological development of meso-level entities in the context of tightening requirements for environmental, social and economic improvement of economic activity are specified.

Authors:   Otak, Inc.,   RRC Associates,   University of Montana
Published: November 2023

A strong mandate and need for socioeconomic monitoring are expressed in the NPS strategic goals for science, in statements by the NPS leadership, and the report of the Second Century Commission. This mandate resulted in a pilot socioeconomic monitoring study in 2015/2016 at a sample of park units across the U.S; the current study uses outcomes from the first stage of the pilot program and progresses into a second stage of the pilot process at 24 NPS units across the United States. Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site (Vanderbilt Mansion) was selected as one of these units. This report informs core issues of visitor use management and develops a deeper, contemporary understanding of who visits Vanderbilt Mansion and what they do during their visit. It uses a two-phased survey methodology to capture a representative sample of visitor information, characteristics, and behavior: (1) an on-site intercept survey conducted via tablet, and (2) a follow up (mail-back and/or online survey) for full trip details. The results are organized by these two phases and are aimed to assist park managers in understanding current utilization and perception of park resources, operations and potential issues, as well as facilitating communication and decision-making processes within the park and between the park and its local partners and stakeholders.

As espécies exóticas invasoras são uma grande ameaça Ã  biodiversidade brasileira atualmente, e o conhecimento de como se comportam na natureza ajuda a combatê-las através das ações presentes nos planos de ação nacional. Estes representam uma ferramenta participativa importante para a conservação da fauna e flora brasileira, pois são elaborados e implementados em conjunto com a sociedade. Através da análise das espécies exóticas invasoras na Lista Oficial de Espécies Ameaçadas de Extinção da Fauna Brasileira e nas ações dos planos, foi possível identificar que 186 (16%) das espécies ameaçadas apresentam espécies exóticas invasoras como ameaça e que, em 35 planos de ação, há 158 ações envolvendo espécies exóticas invasoras, das quais 43% não possuem bom andamento. A partir desse diagnóstico, propomos sugestões para fortalecer o enfrentamento Ã s invasões biológicas, como aperfeiçoamento da qualidade de informações sobre espécies exóticas invasoras no processo de avaliação no risco de extinção da fauna, maior integraçãoentre ações e planos de ação nacional, maior envolvimento de instituições locais e melhor articulação intra e interinstitucional.
Embodiment of Modern Graphic Images in the Artistic Experiments of Oleg Denysenko (ecoline)
Authors: Streltsova Svetlana
Published: November 2023

The creative work of the famous Ukrainian artist Oleh Denysenko has been repeatedly recognized abroad and in Ukraine by both representatives of artistic circles and collectors. For the entire period of his artistic practice, no thorough research of his work and experimental searches in graphics has been made, nor has the artist's creative style and graphic language been described.
The artist's work was mentioned in some articles, superficially revealed in studies of the creative work of representatives of the Lviv graphic school working in certain graphic techniques and trends. The figure of O. Denysenko has long occupied a significant place among the representatives of Ukrainian printmaking and graphics. This is the case when the artist and his work are more recognized abroad than in Ukraine. Denysenko is a representative of artistic techniques that have existed for more than five centuries, who is not afraid to improve, experiment, and make new searches for graphic embodiment of images and philosophical considerations. The article explores artistic practices and experiments in graphics on the example of the series of graphic works «ecoline». Attention is drawn to the process of searching for new images, methods and visual techniques, as well as to the means of revealing artistic expression. An overview of the stylization, expressiveness of the graphic language and individual manner is given. The possibility of further studying the transformation of graphic images in other techniques and plot compositions is considered. The basis of experimental searches, the emergence of figurative and symbolic interpretations, and the author's innovations are revealed.
Software Defect Prediction Using Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm and $k$-Nearest Neighbour Classifier
Authors: Azzeh Mohammad , Nassif Ali Bou , Abu Talib Manar , Iqbal Hajra
Published: November 2023

Background: Software Defect Prediction (SDP) is a vital step in software development. SDP aims to identify the most likely defect-prone modules before starting the testing phase, and it helps assign resources and reduces the cost of testing.

Aim: Although many machine learning algorithms have been used to classify software modules based on static code metrics, the k-Nearest Neighbors (kNN) method does not greatly improve defect prediction because it requires careful set-up of multiple configuration parameters before it can be used. To address this issue, we used the Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm (NSGA-II) to optimize the parameters in the kNN classifier with favor to improve SDP accuracy. We used NSGA-II because the existing accuracy metrics often behave differently, making an opposite judgment in evaluating SDP models. This means that changing one parameter might improve one accuracy measure while it decreases the others.

Method: The proposed NSGAII-kNN model was evaluated against the classical kNN model and state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes (NB), and Random Forest (RF) classifiers.

Results: Results indicate that the GA-optimized kNN model yields a higher Matthews Coefficient Correlation and higher balanced accuracy based on ten datasets.

Conclusion: The paper concludes that integrating GA with kNN improved defect prediction when applied to large or small or large datasets.
MOUND 1/2021 OF THE SKOROBIR NECROPOLIS IN THE DISTRICT OF BILSK GORODYSHCHE
Authors: Shramko I. B.
Published: November 2023

The article introduces the burial complex investigated in 2021 by a joint expedition of the Historical and Cultural Reserve «Bilsk» and V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University in the Skorobir burial mound necropolis in the western district of the Bilsk settlement. Despite the fact that the burial mound was looted in ancient times, it was possible to trace the peculiarities of the creation of the burial structure and the main features of the burial rite.

A burial site was discovered under the barrow mound, which was looted back in ancient times. Only a small part of this complex remained intact. The burial chamber was a simple rectangular pit with an area of 7.15 m2, oriented along the northeast-southwest line. A 2.75 m long dromos adjoined the pit from the southwest, which was recorded for the first time in the necropolises of the Bilsk fortified settlement for burials of the Early Scythian period. The floor of the grave was lined with longitudinal wooden boards, which were placed on transverse logs, fixed in grooves dug near the southern and northern walls of the grave. The grave was not covered with soil, it was covered with wooden logs, the remains of which were fixed. Molded pottery (bowls, ladles, and ladles) was left on the ceiling, which fell into the burial chamber after the ceiling was destroyed. Based on the categories of funeral inventory it can be said with certainty that a woman was buried in the grave with her head facing southwest. Beads made of glass and rock crystal, as well as gold rosette plaques, indicate the rather high social status of the deceased, who probably belonged to representatives of the local elite. The set of accompanying inventory allows us to date the burial in barrow 1/2021 to the first quarter of the 6th century BC.

Mound 1/2021 demonstrates the close burial traditions of the local population of the Early Scythian period and has certain correspondences among the mounds of the Bilsk burial grounds, first of all, the burial complexes of the first half of the 6th century BC, which have been studied in recent years in the southern part part of the Skorobir necropolis, the largest of those located near the Bilsk fortified settlement. The traced general features of the burial rite are typical for the burial mounds of the Bilsk hillfort.
SCYTHIAN SETTLEMENTS ON THE PUTIVL PROMONTORIES
Authors: Karavaiko D. V. , Osadchyi Ye. M.
Published: November 2023

Twenty-six sites of the Early Iron Age are known in the middle flow of the Seim River. There are more than four dozen unfortified settlements here. They are located very close to the residential settlement, on the dunes in the floodplain, on the first promontories above the floodplain. Settlements within the modern city of Putivl are somewhat distinct. First of all, it is extremely difficult to ascertain their size. Powerful layers of later time are traced on them. Research is difficult because of the massive building-up of the city.

Materials of the Scythian Age were found on six sites: Kopteva Gora settlement, Monastyrsky Cape, Kinder House settlement, Gorodok, Nikolskaya Gorka and Molokozavod settlement. The sites were discovered on three capes, one household pit on each. The cultural layer was preserved only within the Molokozavod.

All settlements are located on the promontories. It is possible that some of them had fortifications in the Early Iron Age, which were destroyed tracelessly by the late reconstruction. The existence of a settlement on the cape of Nikolskaya Gorka is most probable. A lot of Scythian ceramics were found here. The Molokozavod settlement was probably synchronous, and it was a single complex together with the fortified site. Judging by the ceramics, it ought to be preliminarily dated to the 5th—4th century BC.

Some settlements of Putivl Seim basin are located in pairs. One of them simultaneously remained uninhabited or unfinished. It is possible that such a pair of settlements existed within Putivl. Perhaps the uninhabited satellite of Nikolskaya Gorka was a hill-fort Gorodok.

Six sites of the Scythian Age are considered within the modern Putivl. The conclusions made in the paper are no more than an assumption. This is primarily due to the paucity of material and the degree of preservation of monuments of the Early Iron Age. The most promising for future research are Nikolskaya Gorka and Molokozavod settlement. However, we can’t hope for significant results in the study of Early Iron Age antiquities on the territory of Putivl.
A Study on the Effects of Citation Expression Education in College Writing Classes: Focusing on Changes in Error Patterns According to Course Phases
Authors:   Korean Association for Literacy, Lee Wonhee , Lee Eunkyeong
Published: November 2023

The purpose of this study is to examine how citation instruction in college writing courses for undergraduates influences students’ actual usage. To achieve this, an effective instructional model for citation expression in college writing courses for undergraduates was constructed in this research. Additionally, errors in citation usage were analyzed at different stages of the course to validate which teaching methods are effective in citation instruction.
To do this, a total of 78 freshman writing students at Y University participated in citation expression education, and errors in citation expression in their first and second assignments were investigated. In the first writing assignment conducted after theory-based instruction, the error rate was 44.6%. However, in the second writing assignment submitted after practice-centered instruction, the error rate decreased to 12.0%. This indicates that after practice-centered instruction, approximately 90% of the students were able to use citation expressions accurately.
Through this research on citation expression education, the following implications can be identified:
First, theory-based lectures can raise awareness of the importance of research ethics and citation expression but may not lead to accurate usage. Therefore, practical case-based instruction should be included.

This article highlights the features of geological (basin) modeling of various zones and migration routes and presents the assessment of resources of the oil field in the Precaspian region in western Kazakhstan. A brief overview of geochemical features of the basin is presented using modern assaying and visualization software packages. The preferred method of constructing 1D models is indicated, and the results of such 1D modeling derived from the results of basin modeling are presented. Additional data points (including paleowater depths, sediment-water interface temperatures and heat flows) as boundary conditions were collected and included in the modeling software for data calibration and cross-checking purposes. For all 1D models produced in this study, Jurassic source rocks were deemed to have entered the oil window in Cretaceous time with the critical moment occurring in Late Cretaceous and Early Paleogene. The implied tectonic history of the basin suggests two possible periods of trap formation: tectonic inversion in the Middle Jurassic and possible folding during late Alpine orogeny which began in Late Cretaceous or early Eocene. While the Middle Jurassic traps can undoubtedly be filled with hydrocarbons, there is no such high degree of certainty with regards to traps formed after Late Cretaceous, as those traps were formed after peak migration periods.
Identification of Drought-Responsive Genes in Turkish Bread Wheat (T. aestivum L.) Cultivar Gerek 79 by mRNA Differential Display Analysis

Published: November 2023

Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops in the world. Many parts of the world depend on wheat as a source of food and animal feed. Drought stress negatively affects its development and greatly reduce its production. Drought response is a complex genetic mechanism involving multiple genes, transcription factors, miRNAs, hormones, proteins, co-factors, ions, and metabolites. The understanding of genetic basis of the drought tolerance mechanisms is very important for genetic improvement of this trait in wheat. Wheat is also an important cereal crop in Turkey. In this study, it is aimed to identify drought stress-regulated genes in bread wheat (Triticum aestivum cv. Gerek 79) and gene expression profiling using mRNA differential display (mRNA DD) was performed for seedling leaves of control and drought-stressed plants (62.4% of RWC). The comparative profiling study showed a total of 20 differentially-expressed cDNA bands and 10 of them were cloned and sequenced. The inserts having poor quality reads were eliminated. The nucleotide sequences of the remaining two cDNAs named G1 and G2 were subjected to similarity analysis. G1 and G2 showed a high degree of homology to mRNA sequence of purple acid phosphatase and glycosyltransferase family 92 protein-like sequence of Triticum aestivum and some other plants, respectively. Purple acid phosphatases have been shown to be involved in plant responses to abiotic and biotic stresses. Similarly, the role of glycosyltransferases on thermotolerance has been reported in rice besides their functions in cellular homeostasis and detoxification pathways in plants. These reports and our findings have laid a foundation for further investigation of G1 and G2 cDNA clones. The investigation of differential expression of these gene fragments corresponding to purple acid phosphatase and glycosyltransferase family 92 protein-like sequence under drought conditions at the RNA level is ongoing. Further characterization of these genes could be important in understanding the functions of these gene/s in drought response.

These features suggest that W1904+4853 contains an actively accreting supermassive black hole hidden in its dusty cocoon, resembling the observed properties of hot dust-obscured galaxies (Hot DOGs), a population previously only identified at z > 1.0. Using the broad component of the Mg ii 2798 Å emission line, we estimate a black hole mass of

Although blueshifted and asymmetric [O iii] emission provides evidence of an outflow, we estimate it to be an order of magnitude smaller than the star formation rate, indicating that the current obscured AGN activity at the center has not yet produced significant feedback on the host galaxy star formation activity. W1904+4853 supports the interpretation that Hot DOGs are a rare transitional phase of AGN accretion in galaxy evolution, a phase that can persist into the present-day Universe.
Interplanetary Signatures during the 1972 Early August Solar Storms

Published: November 2023

In 1972, early August, a series of interplanetary shocks were observed in the heliosphere from 0.8 to 2.2 au. These shocks were attributed to a series of brilliant flares and plasma clouds since at that time coronal mass ejections (CMEs) and their interplanetary counterparts (ICMEs) were unknown to the scientific community. This paper aims to reinterpret the interplanetary data in light of the current understanding about interplanetary transients and to track the evolution of the ICMEs, taking advantage of the alignment of Pioneers 9 and 10 spacecraft. For this purpose, we reanalyze in situ data from these two Pioneers and also from Heos, Prognoz 1 and 2, and Explorer 41 spacecraft searching for ICMEs and high-speed streams. Then we assemble the interplanetary transients and solar activity and analyze the propagation of the ejections through the heliosphere. The evolution of four ICMEs and a high-speed stream from a low-latitude coronal hole is followed using the multipoint in situ observations. The first three ICMEs show clear signatures of ICME–ICME interaction in the interplanetary medium, suggesting the first observations of an ICME which developed into an ICME-in-the-sheath. For a non-perturbed ICME event, we obtain the evolution parameter, ζ, related to the local expansion of ICMEs, getting similar values for Pioneer 9 (ζ = 0.80) and Pioneer 10 (ζ = 0.78). These results support previous findings of ζ being independent of the heliocentric distance and the magnetic field strength decreasing as r

An advanced LIGO and Virgo’s third observing run brought another binary neutron star merger (BNS) and the first neutron-star black hole mergers. While no confirmed kilonovae were identified in conjunction with any of these events, continued improvements of analyses surrounding GW170817 allow us to project constraints on the Hubble Constant (H
0), the Galactic enrichment from r-process nucleosynthesis, and ultra-dense matter possible from forthcoming events. Here, we describe the expected constraints based on the latest expected event rates from the international gravitational-wave network and analyses of GW170817. We show the expected detection rate of gravitational waves and their counterparts, as well as how sensitive potential constraints are to the observed numbers of counterparts. We intend this analysis as support for the community when creating scientifically driven electromagnetic follow-up proposals. During the next observing run O4, we predict an annual detection rate of electromagnetic counterparts from BNS of

The dwarf galaxy Triangulum (M33) presents an interesting testbed for studying stellar halo formation: it is sufficiently massive so as to have likely accreted smaller satellites, but also lies within the regime where feedback and other “in situ” formation mechanisms are expected to play a role. In this work, we analyze the line-of-sight kinematics of stars across M33 from the TREX survey, with a view to understanding the origin of its halo. We split our sample into two broad populations of varying age, comprising 2032 “old” red giant branch stars and 671 “intermediate-age” asymptotic giant branch and carbon stars. We find decisive evidence for two distinct kinematic components in both the old and intermediate-age populations: a low-dispersion (∼22 km s−1) disk-like component corotating with M33's H i gas and a significantly higher-dispersion component (∼50–60 km s−1) that does not rotate in the same plane as the gas and is thus interpreted as M33's stellar halo. While kinematically similar, the fraction of stars associated with the halo component differs significantly between the two populations: this is consistently ∼10% for the intermediate-age population, but decreases from ∼34% to ∼10% as a function of radius for the old population. We additionally find evidence that the intermediate-age halo population is systematically offset from the systemic velocity of M33 by ∼25 km s−1, with a preferred central LOS velocity of ∼ − 155 km s−1. This is the first detection and characterization of an intermediate-age halo in M33, and suggests in situ formation mechanisms, as well as potentially tidal interactions, have helped shaped it.
