Published: December 2020

BACKGROUND

Neonatal mortality related to fetal growth is a public policy issue in Nigeria.

METHOD

To determine maternal characteristics associated with fetal growth and neonatal birth weight, a secondary analysis of data collected from 701 mothers using a multiple linear regression model was undertaken.

FINDINGS

Maternal age, parity, and weight were found to be significantly associated with neonatal birth weight. The number of antenatal visits and maternal level of education were not found to be associated with neonatal birth weight.

CONCLUSIONS

To the extent that providers might influence maternal weight, education and counselling during pregnancy may impact fetal growth and neonatal birth weight.

A proposal against the current context: multidimensional law
Authors:   Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, Facultad de Derecho, Córdoba, Argentina, Aboslaiman, Lucrecia
Published: December 2020

To consider the main questions that changes produced in contemporary societies make to law is a debate that implies assuming what happens with knowledge in general and in the legal realm in particular. The present paper addresses the problem of a complex, postmodern and globalized socio-cultural reality, and presents the need for its approach from a right considered not only in its normative face, but also anthropological, social, cultural and ethical-legal. We propose a set of ideas and some hypotheses, keys and orientations, based on a globalized society, with the insertion of the claim of human rights protected by a universal ethics connected and related to law. We seek to build a multidimensional legal world in a free, fair and democratic society, within a context of postmodern and globalized society, with technological advances that grow in a dizzying manner and impact on man, society and law in different ways, depending on the place and the time in which they occur.
When a virus turns the Wheel of life

Published: December 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a leveller of sorts, across communities, cities, and countries. All healthcare workers are doing their best beyond the call of duty. With many patients recovering and others succumbing every day, they are facing extreme situations. Sometimes, both the good and the bad occur within in a matter of minutes which can be emotionally exhausting. A single Covid-19 test report whether positive or negative has many implications, the rest depends on the healthcare staff who diagnose, treat and more importantly, convey the diagnosis to the patients. Here is an experience of what healthcare workers face and how they handle it. Brave are those who still hold on to their grit and spirit.

Aquilaria malaccensis (agarwood) is a native species to Indonesia, it produces fragrance. Aim in this study was to assess genetic diversity and structure of A. malaccensis in order to manage seed stand to produce high quality and quantity seeds/seedlings. Leaf samples for DNA template were collected from populations at western Bangka i.e. Air Gantang, Pelangas, and Simpang Gong. Amplifications of 14 RAPD markers were confirmed; 42 DNA samples of A. malaccensis were analysed using RAPD markers. Parameters of genetic diversity within population i.e. private alleles (PA) and expected heterozygosity (H) were calculated using GeneAlex software. Genetic structure among populations were determined as genetic distance (Da), Analysis Molecular of Variance (AMOVA), a neighbor-joining tree, were calculated using GeneAlex and PopTrew software. Eleven out of 14 RAPD markers were produced 104 stable and polymorphic alleles; PE were found at Air Gantang and Pelangas, 1 and 2 alleles, respectively. The H ranged between 0.133 (Simpang Gong) and 0.328 (Pelangas). The Da was moderate (0.099). AMOVA showed significant genetic diversity among populations (14%). A neighbor-joining tree showed the populations divided into two clusters with high boostrap value, and concordance with their geographical positions. Restricted gene flow might cause a high genetic relationship among populations. Low HEE in Simpang Gong caused this population was priored to being conserved; Air Gantang and Pelangas should be designed as different conservation units due to the population contained different private alleles.

Published: December 2020

Langusei (Ficus minahassae (Teysm.et.Vr.) Miq) is one of the endemic flora of Sulawesi which existence is increasingly threatened. Attempts to maintain the existence of Ficus minahassae species by understanding the cultivation techniques of the Langusei species, especially regarding the appropriate germination techniques, need to be addressed. This study aims to determine the level of fruit maturity and the appropriate extraction treatment for the germination of Langusei seeds. The experimental design used in this study was a complete randomization design which is arranged in a factorial pattern. The first factor is the classification of the level of seed maturity based on fruit color categories: 1) Orange-brown fruit, 2) Orange-reddish fruit, 3) Red fruit, and 4) Red-black fruit, while the second factor is the fruit extraction treatment which consists of: 1) Extraction with dry wind treatment for 24 hours, 2) Extraction with drying treatment for 12 hours, and 3) Extraction with water treatment for 24 hours. The results showed that the fruit maturity level and the appropriate extraction treatment to produce optimal Langusei seed germination were in the (orange-brown and orange-reddish fruit) (mature fruits prior to ripening) which was soaked in water for 24 hours.

Forecasting COVID-19 with Importance-Sampling and Path-Integrals
Authors: Ingber Lester
Published: December 2020

Background: Forecasting nonlinear stochastic systems most often is quite difficult, without giving in to temptations to simply simplify models for the sake of permitting simple computations. Objective: Here, two basic algorithms, Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) and path-integral codes PATHINT/PATHTREE (and their quantum generalizations qPATHINT/qPATHTREE) are offered to detail such systems. Method: ASA and PATHINT/PATHTREE have been effective to forecast properties in three disparate disciplines in neuroscience, financial markets, and combat analysis. Applications are described for COVID-19. Results: Results of detailed calculations have led to new results and insights not previously obtained. Conclusion: These 3 applications give strong support to a quite generic application of these tools to stochastic nonlinear systems.
The Gavorrano Monzogranite (Northern Apennines): An Updated Review of Host Rock Protoliths, Thermal Metamorphism and Tectonic Setting
Authors: Brogi Andrea , Caggianelli Alfredo , Liotta Domenico , Zucchi Martina , Spina Amalia , Capezzuoli Ernico , Casini Alessandra , Buracchi Elena
Published: December 2020

We review and refine the geological setting of an area located nearby the Tyrrhenian seacoast, in the inner zone of the Northern Apennines (southern Tuscany), where a Neogene monzogranite body (estimated in about 3 km long, 1.5 km wide, and 0.7 km thick) emplaced during early Pliocene. This magmatic intrusion, known as the Gavorrano pluton, is partially exposed in a ridge bounded by regional faults delimiting broad structural depressions. A widespread circulation of geothermal fluids accompanied the cooling of the magmatic body and gave rise to an extensive Fe-ore deposit (mainly pyrite) exploited during the past century. The tectonic setting which favoured the emplacement and exhumation of the Gavorrano pluton is strongly debated with fallouts on the comprehension of the Neogene evolution of this sector of the inner Northern Apennines. Data from a new fieldwork dataset, integrated with information from the mining activity, have been integrated to refine the geological setting of the whole crustal sector where the Gavorrano monzogranite was emplaced and exhumed. Our review, implemented by new palynological, petrological and structural data pointed out that: i) the age of the Palaeozoic phyllite (hosting rocks) is middle-late Permian, thus resulting younger than previously described (i.e. pre-Carboniferous); ii) the P-T conditions at which the metamorphic aureole developed are estimated at about 660 °C and at a maximum depth of c. 5 km; iii) the tectonic evolution which determined the emplacement and exhumation of the monzogranite is constrained in a transfer zone, in the frame of the extensional tectonics affecting the area continuously since Miocene.

Published: December 2020

With the rapid development of earth observation, satellite navigation, mobile communication and other technologies, the order of magnitude of the spatial data we acquire and accumulate is increasing, and higher requirements are put forward for the application and storage of spatial data. Under this circumstance, a new form of spatial data organization emerged-the global discrete grid. This form of data management can be used for the efficient storage and application of large-scale global spatial data, which is a digital multi-resolution the geo-reference model that helps to establish a new model of data association and fusion. It is expected to make up for the shortcomings in the organization, processing and application of current spatial data. There are different types of grid system according to the grid division form, including global discrete grids with equal latitude and longitude, global discrete grids with variable latitude and longitude, and global discrete grids based on regular polyhedrons. However, there is no accuracy evaluation index system for remote sensing images expressed on the global discrete grid to solve this problem. This paper is dedicated to finding a suitable way to express remote sensing data on discrete grids, and establishing a suitable accuracy evaluation system for modeling remote sensing data based on hexagonal grids to evaluate modeling accuracy. The results show that this accuracy evaluation method can evaluate and analyze remote sensing data based on hexagonal grids from multiple levels, and the comprehensive similarity coefficient of the images before and after conversion is greater than 98%, which further proves that the availability hexagonal grid-based remote sensing data of remote sensing images. And among the three sampling methods, the image obtained by the nearest interpolation sampling method has the highest correlation with the original image.

Published: December 2020

Background: Intrauterine device is a modern contraceptive method used in family planning process, it prevents conception (pregnancy) and it has duration of 12years. There some women of reproductive age who don’t use this method, which necessitates our concern to why they don’t use it. The aim of this study is to explore the knowledge and attitude toward utilization of IUCD as family planning method among women attending at Makambako RCH. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study was used to assess knowledge and attitude concerning use of intrauterine contraceptive device among 384 women of reproductive age. Random sampling was conducted in which every individual had an equal chance to be selected and structured self-administered questionnaire were used to collect data. Data was entered to Microsoft excel and then exported to SPSS version 20.0 for further analysis. Results: Findings of the study about 333 (86.7%) respondents had knowledge on IUD while 51 (13.3%) they lack knowledge on IUD and they agreed it helps to prevent unwanted pregnancies and they heard it from social media like radio and television, health care providers, friends and school. About 46 (12%) of the respondents had positive attitude and used IUD method of family planning, and they got influence of using IUD from health care providers, 82 (21.4%) got influence of using IUD from their partners and 27 (7.0%) influenced to use IUD due to the side effects of other family planning methods like Depo Provera and pills. 25 (5.7%) were not influenced by anyone to use IUD as family planning method. While 338 (88.0%) participants had negative attitude on IUD method and had never used IUD as family planning method. Conclusion: The findings show that IUD usage was found to be poor and majority of them they didn’t prefer it, despite of having less complications.
Trends of Publications (1910-2020) on Climate Change/Global Warming/Climate Emergency Versus General Climate Research
Authors: Santos Rafael M.
Published: December 2020

This article presents and discusses analytical data on the scientific publication record from 1910 to 2020 on two topics: "climate" and "climate change/global warming/climate emergency". The goal is to visualize how the publication record on these two topics has evolved over time, from different classification perspectives (year, country, source and organization). Three hypotheses are tested using data collected from Web of Science and various graphical representations of the data. It is found that research output related to the Earth’s contemporary changing climate overtook that of general climate research in 2011, and the publication ratio has been expanding in the last decade. There are significant differences in the publication countries and sources between the two topics, and conversely less significant differences in terms of organizations publishing these works. Differentiation factors that affect the level of research output and engagement on the climate challenge include: island versus landlocked nations, specialized versus general scientific journals, academic versus institutional organizations. The future of the publication records is discussed, such as the emergence of new terms to refer to the climate challenge, such as “climate emergency”.
Extending Quantum Probability from Real Axis to Complex Plane
Authors: Yang Ciann-Dong , Han Shiang-Yi
Published: December 2020

Probability is an open question in the ontological interpretation of quantum mechanics. It has been discussed in some trajectory interpretations such as Bohmian mechanics and stochastic mechanics. New questions arise when the domain of probability extends to the complex space, including the generation of complex trajectories, the definition of the complex probability, the relation of the complex probability to the real quantum probability, and so on. The complex treatment proposed here applies the optimal quantum guidance law to derive the stochastic differential (SD) equation governing the particle’s random motions in the complex plane. The ensemble of the complex quantum random trajectories (CQRTs) solved from the complex SD equation is used to construct the probability distribution ρc(t,x,y) of the particle’s position over the complex plane z=x+iy. The correctness of the obtained complex probability is confirmed by the solution of the complex Fokker-Planck equation. The significant contribution of the complex probability is that it can be used to reconstruct both quantum probability and classical probability, and to clarify their relationship. Although quantum probability and classical probability are both defined on the real axis, they are obtained by projecting complex probability onto the real axis in different ways. This difference explains why the quantum probability cannot exactly converge to the classical probability when the quantum number is large.

Authors: Jiang Shangjing , Zhang Haiping , Wang Haoran , Zhou Lei , Tang Guoan
Published: December 2020

As a result of the influence of geographical environment and historical heritage, food preference has significant regional differentiation characteristics. However, the spatial structure of food culture represented by the cuisine culture at the regional level has not yet been explored from the perspective of geography. This study aims to explore such patterns by focusing on the restaurants of the eight most famous cuisines in Mainland China. Initially, the density based geospatial hotspot detector method is proposed to analyze and mapping the spatial quantitative characteristics of the eight major cuisines. A heuristic method for geographical regionalization based on machine learning was used to analyze spatial distribution patterns in accordance with the proportion of these cuisines in each prefecture-level city. Results show that some types of single-category cuisines have a stronger spatial concentration effect in the present, whereas others have a strong diffusion trend. In the comprehensive analysis of multicategory cuisines, the eight major cuisines formed a new structure of geographical regionalization of Chinese cuisine culture. This study is helpful to understand regional structure characteristics of food preference, and the density based hotspot detector proposed in this paper can also be used in the analysis of other type of POI data.

Published: December 2020

Objective: The Acute Cystitis Symptom Score (ACSS) was developed and validated as a self-reporting questionnaire for diagnosing and monitoring acute, uncomplicated cystitis (AC) in female patients. The study aims at the translation of the ACSS into Greek from original Russian as a source and American English as a new master version and at its linguistic validation.
Material and Methods: Three independent professional native Greek translators, two of them experts in Russian and one in English, translated the ACSS from Russian and American English into Greek. The second group of three translators translated each of the three versions back into the original language to detect or correct any important discrepancies. These three Greek versions were then used for linguistic validation.
Results: The English to Greek translation reflected more the spoken language, the two Russian to Greek translations more the written, formal language. A total of 60 randomly selected females and 30 healthcare professionals was asked about their preferences and to comment on each of the three translations. Considering all comments the scientific committee (SC) developed the Greek consensus version. For cognitive assessment additional 30 healthcare professionals and 30 females were asked to comment on the intelligibility of all items. Considering their comments the linguistically validated Greek study version was established by the SC.
Conclusion: The linguistically validated Greek version of the ACSS can now be used for the clinical validation study.

Published: December 2020

A family of weighted two-layer finite-difference schemes is presented. Using the example of the numerical solution of model problems on the propagation of a single soliton and the interaction of two solitons, the high quality of explicit-implicit schemes of the Crank-Nichols type with the parameter σ = 0.5 and the order of approximation O(Δt2 + Δx2) isshown. Completely implicit two-layer difference schemes with the parameter σ = 1 and O (Δt+ Δx2) are characterized by absolute stability with a low solution accuracy due to a highapproximation error. The family of explicitly implicit difference schemes is absolutely unstable if the explicitness parameter σ <0.5 prevails. Analysis of the structure of the approximation error, performed using the modified equation method, confirmed the results of numerical simulation.

A control group (n=109) included patients who had never participated in an RCT was selected. From January to April 2020, face-to-face or telephone contact was established with patients from both groups. In the study group, the response was 86.3%, in the control group - 81.7%. The adherence to drug therapy accordingly to current clinical guidelines was analyzed in patients with coronary artery disease in both groups.Results. Patients with CAD who previously participated in RCTs take drugs with proven efficacy significantly more often than patients who did not participate in clinical trials. All groups of drugs intake was significantly more frequent in the study group than in the control group: angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitors/angiotensin receptor blockers (odds ratio [OR] 7.66, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.5-22.6; p=0.006), statins (OR 5.12, 95%CI 1.8-14.5; p=0.002), beta-blockers (OR 2.96, 95%CI 1.03-8.5; p=0.038), antiplatelet agents (OR 2.94, 95%CI 1.1-7.7; p=0.026). In the main group, 54.3% of patients with CAD knew about their level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and 68% of them had an LDL level of ≤ 1.8 mmol/l. Patients with DM in 92.9% of cases were aware of their glucose level, and in 76.9% of them had the fasting glucose level <7 mmol/L. Hypertensive patients in 92.8% of cases controlled their blood pressure twice a day and 89.2% of them had a target blood pressure level (<140/90 mm Hg).Conclusion. Patients who participated in RCTs showed better adherence to treatment and health awareness compared to the control group. Partly, the approach to patient management, as it takes place in the RCTs model, can be implemented in real clinical practice to improve the quality of therapy in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Published: December 2020

This study aims to construct prototypes using three-dimensional (3D) printing technology as a research apparatus and a physics education instrument, particularly in medical physics education. Two main designs of prototypes have been arranged. Two foam NaCl templates are drawn using computer-aided design (CAD) software. Image processing techniques achieve a 3D model of a thoracic vertebra. All 3D model data are printed using polylactic acid (PLA) filament. The prints of foam NaCl templates are utilized for holding the NaCl powder. The prototype of a human vertebra is used for visualization of the real condition of the human bone anatomy. The results of the prototypes are analyzed to investigate the similarity between the model and the prints. This investigation is done using a Vernier Caliper and CT Scan. The measurement using Caliper shows a higher percentage in likeness than the CT-Scan. All the accuracy study shows they have more than 83% in similarity. It can be concluded that all built prototypes have prominent exactitude and can support the material research using the printed NaCl templates. Hereafter, a bone mock-up’s genuine perception can function for further application, such as implant or surgery planning.
Gerakan Indonesia Tanpa Pacaran (GITP): Propaganda and Mobilization of Youths’ Social Praxis
Authors: Sulaiman Akhmad
Published: December 2020

Gerakan Indonesia Tanpa Pacaran (GITP), as a da’wa movement, rises because of moral panics encouragement. It is concerned that promiscuity among youths is increasingly out of control. The Movement presenting its mission through social media is opposed by many circles. Nonetheless, it develops rapidly and obtains many followers. This research is meant to answer questions: 1) why does GITP develop rapidly although it is opposed by many circles? 2) What propaganda techniques are used by GITP so that it receives many followers? 3) How does GITP mobilize youths’ social praxis? To answer these questions, I use Fairclough’s critical discourse analysis. The research concludes that the triumph of GITP is not separated from the totality of propaganda. It uses seven propaganda techniques.  Mobilization of social praxis is done through three discourse functions namely ideational, identity, and relational function of discourse till it produces personal piety and militant community.

Background:

The field of limb lengthening has undergone substantial advancement in recent years with respect to the subjective patient experience, the rate of surgical complications, and the time required to achieve regenerate consolidation. We aimed to assess the performance of motorized internal limb lengthening (MILL) devices when compared with alternative methods of limb lengthening through systematic review and meta-analysis.

Methods:

Studies comparing MILL methods with alternative forms of limb lengthening were included for systematic review. Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms, specifically “PRECICE,” “STRYDE,” “FITBONE,” “limb lengthening,” “Ilizarov,” “distraction osteogenesis,” and “motorized internal limb lengthening,” were used to search a number of electronic bibliographic databases, including PubMed, the International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (World Health Organization), the Cochrane Library, ClinicalTrials.gov, and the EU Clinical Trials Register. The primary outcome measures were time to union and total length (centimeters) achieved. Kaplan-Meier survivorship curves were generated, and the 2-sample t test with equal variances was utilized to compare groups. Secondary outcomes including problems, obstacles, and sequelae were compared using a random-effects meta-analysis. To detect any evidence of publication bias, the Egger test for small-study effects was used. A number of bone-healing indices, when reported, were compared between groups.

Results:

A total of 143 limbs were lengthened using MILL techniques. These were compared with 98 limbs that were lengthened with the use of alternative techniques. The MILL cohort was found to have significantly fewer problems (p < 0.001; relative risk [RR] = 0.31; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.19 to 0.52) and sequelae (p = 0.002; RR = 0.57; 95% CI, 0.40 to 0.81) on random-effects meta-analysis. Both deep and superficial infectious complications were fewer for MILL procedures across all of the studies.

Conclusions:

MILL is associated with fewer complications than alternative methods of limb lengthening. Because of the advancements in the field of limb lengthening toward fully implantable remote-controlled internal limb-lengthening devices, MILL techniques are likely to dominate the field of limb lengthening in the foreseeable future.

Published: December 2020

Abstrak. Data sumberdaya lahan untuk 511 kabupaten/kota sudah tersedia mencakup peta tanah, peta kesesuaian lahan, dan peta arahan komoditas pertanian, dilengkapi dengan buku paket rekomendasi pengelolaan lahan. Komoditas yang sudah dievaluasi kesesuaian lahannya mencakup padi, jagung, kedelai, bawang merah, cabe merah, tebu, pakan ternak, kakao, dan kelapa sawit. Data sumberdaya lahan tersebut  menjadi bagian penting dalam pengembangan komoditas strategis di Indonesia, terbukti dengan banyaknya permintaan data baik dari Direktorat Jenderal Teknis lingkup Kementerian Pertanian, Kementerian/Lembaga terkait, pengusaha swasta, dan para investor dalam dan luar negeri, serta perguruan tinggi. Peta tematik yang banyak diminati adalah peta kesesuaian lahan dan peta sebaran lahan potensial untuk pengembangan berbagai komoditas strategis, baik untuk intensifikasi di lahan eksisting ataupun lahan ekstensifikasi, terutama di lahan semak belukar yang belum dimanfaatkan. Permasalahan utama adalah belum tersedianya peta penggunaan lahan terkini, sehingga kemungkinan penggunaan lahannya sudah berbeda dan yang diduga potensial untuk perluasan komoditas pertanian ternyata sudah dimanfaatkan. Oleh karena itu, perlu upaya penyediaan peta status penguasaan dan penggunaan lahan terbaru, agar para pengguna data yakin bahwa lahan potensial tersebut benar tersedia di lapangan.

 

Abstract. Land resources data for 511 regency/cities is available consisting of soil maps, land suitability maps, and recommended agricultural commodities maps, completed with a land management recommendation package book. Commodities that have been evaluated for land suitability including rice, corn, soybeans, shallots, red chillies, sugar cane, animal feed, cocoa, and palm oil. Land resources data is important in the development of strategic commodities in Indonesia. There has been numerous data requests from the Technical Directorate General of the Ministry of Agriculture, relevant Ministries/Institutions, private entrepreneurs and domestic and foreign investors, and universities.  The most on demand thematic maps are land suitability maps and maps of potential land distribution for developing various strategic commodities both for agricultural intensification and land expansion (extensification). Unfortunately, the up to date landuse map is barely available and the precise area that is potentaly available for agricultural land expansion is hardly defined. Therefore, providing the most recent land status and landuse maps is very important to convince map users that the precise potential area for agricultural land expansion could be axactly defined.

A significant oil resource exists within the Schrader Bluff and stratigraphic equivalent West Sak reservoirs located on the central North Slope of Alaska. The Schrader Bluff resource is under development in the Kuparuk River Unit, Milne Point, and within the Prudhoe Bay Unit. These areas have developed reservoirs with oil viscosities up to 200 cp under waterflood and viscosity-reducing miscible gas injection. A grass roots penta-lateral gas-lifted producer was drilled and completed to unlock untapped oil in the northern portion of the Polaris S-Pad Schrader Bluff viscous oil reservoir in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska. This producer was the first multilateral well drilled in the Orion and Polaris Schrader Bluff reservoirs in ≈8 years. The team worked to unlock surface and subsurface opportunities, delivering a substantially lower cost of access than planned. Production rate from Schrader Bluff reservoir wells has a positive correlation with contacted net sandstone. Optimal well placement in each of the five laterals was key to the delivery of a successful project. A novel approach to geosteering was used to maximize net sandstone exposure, utilizing deep azimuthal resistivity and real-time user-guided multilayered inversion modeling.
Insight on Coal Swelling Induced by Monolayer and Multilayer Adsorption
Authors: Zeng Quanshu , Wang Zhiming
Published: December 2020

Gas adsorption, desorption, and displacement occur throughout the coalbed methane (CBM) and enhanced coalbed methane (ECBM) recovery process, causing the coal pores to deform and affecting injectivity and productivity. The primary objectives of this study include determining the pressure at which the monolayer adsorption transitions to multilayer adsorption and linking the swelling strain to both classes of adsorption. In this study, the simplified local density (SLD) theory was first modified and applied to describe the characteristics of both types of adsorption and to determine the transition pressure. A strain model coupled with the SLD theory was then developed to describe adsorption-induced deformation. Next, the measured methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) adsorption isotherms, and strain data on the same coals, were collected for model validation. Results suggest that gas adsorbed on coal surfaces at the very beginning (monolayer adsorption) and the adsorption on other gas molecules continues once the surface has been filled (multilayer adsorption). Results also suggest that swelling strain is proportional to both types of adsorption, with the multilayer case being larger than the monolayer case. This difference may be due to the additional repulsion between the adsorbate and multilayer liquid film.
An early dynamical instability among the Solar System’s giant planets triggered by the gas disk’s dispersal
Authors: Liu Beibei , Raymond Sean , Jacobson Seth
Published: December 2020

The Solar System’s orbital structure is thought to have been sculpted by a dynamical instability among the giant planets[1–4]. Yet the instability trigger and exact timing have proved hard to pin down[5–9]. The giant planets formed within a gas-dominated disk around the young Sun. Motivated by giant exoplanet systems found in mean motion resonance[10], hydrodynamical modeling has shown that while the disk was present the giant planets migrated into a compact orbital configuration, in a chain of resonances[2,11]. Here we use a suite of dynamical simulations to show that the giant planets’ instability was likely triggered by the dispersal of the Sun’s gaseous disk. As the disk evaporated from the inside-out, its inner edge swept successively across and dynamically perturbed each planet’s orbit in turn. Saturn and each ice giants’ orbits were torqued strongly enough to migrate outward. As a given planet migrated outward with the disk’s inner edge the orbital configuration of the exterior system was compressed, triggering dynamical instability. The final orbits of our simulated systems match those of the Solar System for a viable range of astrophysical parameters. Our results demonstrate that the giant planet instability happened as the gaseous disk dissipated, constrained by astronomical observations to be a few to ten million years after the birth of the Solar System [12]. Late-stage terrestrial planet formation would occur mostly after such an early giant planet instability [13,14], thereby avoiding the possibility of de-stabilizing the terrestrial planets [15] and naturally accounting for the small mass of Mars relative to Earth and the mass depletion of the main asteroid belt [16].
